Yes- I am starting this early. As an esteemed member once said.... Eff The Ruuulz.

We've been relying a lot on our traditional Game Thread starters here in the 'Stache. So Call me Wakefield trotting in from the Bullpen. I'll gladly give up 5 if we can get 6 tomorrow. Just looking to do something to stem the tide, toss a change of pace out there. Do something a little different.

Ahcan is with them on the taxi-squad. I'd throw him in there and see what happens. Maybe they get lucky and he gives them a Krug-against-the-Rangers like shot in the arm. I'd also put Studnicka back in and play him with bona fide wingers. Give him DeBrusk and Smith or something, let Krejci play with the plugs. Although I suppose the counter is that the wingers not named Marchand or Pastrnak are all plugs.

They haven't decided on a goalie, but I would think Vladar will be the guy due to his experience. Swayman is with the team too and has been hotter in Providence (.942 to .923which is still excellent).

Completely agree. Studnicka is their best shot at developing a top 6 center. Play him in the middle with DeBrusk & Frederic and see if they can develop into something. And please for the love of god sit Tinordi & Kampfer.

Really good approach by Pasta. Made DeSmith commit to moving laterally and opening up the 5-hole, which he sniped.

Tough night for the zebras
3 bad penalties
Icing waved off for no good reason
Play stopped 3 seconds after a face off because Begeron won it too clean

shouldn't be a penalty by the rules of the game. It's the outcome dictating the call. Which is stupid but par for the course of the NHL player safety these days.
