[forty_three]

No lineup changes for the Jackets, Wennberg still out.

Bobrovsky spent the morning negotiating with the goal posts. "Hep us posts. Stop hitting de pucks we shooting"

So....another night of 3 lines?

Perhaps not. Milano was on the line with Dubsinky and Anderson and Calvert was with Letestu and Bjorky at practice. Looks like those are the confirmed lines tonight.

Bjorkstrand needs to wake up

He needs to play more. He had a few solid shifts on the forecheck and forced at least three icings last game. Then he got pulled off.

Agreed, it's tough to make much of an impact with just 9 total shifts in the game and a TOI of 8:09. I would argue that makes a post-game shower optional.

Stephenson and Vrana swap lines. At least DSP isn't in the top 6

I think Smith-Pelly has had a pretty good series. He's a pest but pretty clean about it. Surely not the fleetest of foot, but not bad.

I am also not that upset with Vrana seeing less ice.

He has been good, but he rarely has an end product to his positive play. He shouldn't steal time from more skilled players.

I do see this move to try to matchup with the Panarin line though. Stephenson is more responsible defensively.

DSP is a stinky turd just like DC

Holtby will prove the haters wrong tonight.

Peter Angelos has had enough of his tightwad ways, Joe Flacco is elite and Carey Price is over his injury issues.

Jackets, y'all think you could score the first goal once in awhile?

Wilson can be a bonehead but that wasn't a penalty
