8/15 - @ Canes (Game 3). Let's win a game.
- Thread starter The Napkin
- Start date
Doesn’t sound like he will play. Bruce didn’t rule him out but also said he didn’t skate yesterday and the early start means there’s no real opportunity for him to test it out.
Pasta or no Pasta, Cassidy said there will be lineup changes at both F and D. Clifton for Lauzon is probably the D move, not sure what they’d do at F. Could be Lindholm for Ritchie and move Kuraly up?
Fluto speculated that Lindholm would be in for Ritchie and Clifton in for Lauzon this morning. He didn’t say where Kuraly would be, but I would assume he’s on Coyle’s LW.
Wonder if they try Coyle at RW full time If Pasta is indeed out.
Marchand - Bergeron - Coyle
DeBrusk - Krejci - Kase
Bjork - Kuraly - Kuhlman
Nordstrom - Lindholm - Wagner
It’s essentially 2 4th line lines, but it might be a better usage of Coyle than sticking him with 2 offensive anchors.
Guess that explains some of Rask’s comments the other nite. Hope him and fam are okay.
Do the Bs have another goalie in the bubble?? Who backs up Halak

I’m comfortable with Halak but the compressed schedule may force Vladar or Lagace in there which is less than ideal.
Cassidy and the team leaders have a good challenge on their hands to pull together and push through these changes (opt-out/new goalie/injuries etc). I’m actually excited to see what they do.
Go B’s.
Go B’s.
Mad respect for Rask. He has to know the media is going to be insufferable about this. Taking the lumps for your family is a mensch move.
I love the way Sweeney and Cassidy came out in support of him. This is one of the best led organizations in sports right now.
Bit of a surprise- Studnicka is in. Ritchie and Kuhlman are out.

after that I think we’ll see a bunch of combos on the bottom 6 depending on how the game goes

I'll be honest, I loved what Coyle and Bjork had, so i'd like to see them try out Studnicka with Bergy and move Bjork back to the 3rd line, but I'm also stupid.
What’s the right amount of Bloody Mary mix to add to my breakfast vodka? I’m thinking it needs to be just enough to turn it a light pink.
I think he nailed it pretty perfectly honestly
To clarify, I think that's probably what a lot of people are thinking/wondering
I think his exact words were "I would have respected it a lot more if he decided not to enter the bubble to begin with"
Which, given it sounds like there was a family emergency during Rask's time in the bubble, is a Charlie Kirk-level logical leap.

Let’s fucking do this. Love having Clifton in, let’s get something from Studicka, and Krejci-Kase are going to dominate this game.
