Well, Todd Richards has hit the pipe again and come up with the following line combinations:
Hartnell-Johansen-Foligno - Okay, that one's been working
Morin-Wennberg-Atkinson - I like it. Not as a second line, but I like it
Collins-Letestu-Anderson - Anderson making his NHL debut with two guys who are half as fast as him. Why not put Morin here?
Tropp-Dubinsky-Boll - LOLWUT? I get it, he's pissed at Dubinsky and Calvert for dumb penalties. Calvert gets to sit, and Dubi goes to the fourth line. But the OTHER guy with the stupid penalty, and the history of it, gets a bonafide #2 NHL Center as punishment for being an idiot.

SIT BOLL AND PLAY CALVERT FOR FUCK'S SAKE

Johnson-Savard
Connauton-Wisniewski
Tyutin-Prout

I am guessing the Jackets have forgotten that they even have Leopold at this point. Murray skated and had full contact today. He's been skating for about a week.

Bobrovsky - There will be a Nash Smash volume 2 I guess.

And I guarantee stonehands will try and fight Nash tonight. I guarantee it.

I wouldn't object to the Hurricanes and Hawks winning tonight (preferably in regulation)

First place on the line tonight for the Pens on the Isle. It's the last regular season trip to the Mausoleum for Pittsburgh. Then it will be in Brooklyn.

I hate games against the Islanders in NY (that's mostly a credit to them, really). I hate games where you're likely to see more fights than goals, and for some reason they just always have that feeling. All that crap from a few years ago still exists even though half those guys are gone from each team.

 

[evolver115]

They've got quite the rivalry goin. Game is already super intense.

 

[evolver115]

Wow! Grabner almost ended Harry's season with that knee on knee.

 

[evolver115]

Goal!!!!!!!!!


Sid on the powerplay!!

Looks like Calvert was just sick, and he's in the lineup. Richards pulled Collins out of the lineup.

A perfect excuse to pull shit for brains, and he didn't do it.

So says the Devils fan

Perron makes it 2-0 on the wired wrister

 

[pixburgher66]

Sid finally catching some breaks maybe? For a guy that's been on the snake bit side, he needed something like that goal (in off his shin/body). And Perron with another goal. 4 as a Penguin in 5 games, after 5 as an Oiler in 38 games. Lots of penalties in this one so far, although limited funny business, which surprises me.

Isles get on the board, 2-1

 

[evolver115]

Isles get on the board, 2-1

It was kicked in, but the great eye in toronto did not deem it a distinct kicking motion.

Oh look. The Jackets had good momentum and were pressing in the offensive zone and Jared Boll starts a fight.

Never seen that before.

You can't fix stupid.

And the Rangers score.

I should fucking kill him myself.

Boll would be a better choice

Boll would be a better choice

That's who I meant by "him".

I can't even speak that piece of shit's name anymore.
