A young man named Adam is getting a Crack(nell) at the lineup tonight.

Ryan Murray looks to be a game time decision. He is expected back in the lineup before the end of the trip.

Projected lines for the Jackets against the San Hosers:
F1: Hartnell - Johansen - Foligno
F2: Calvert - Wennberg - Atkinson
F3: Letestu - Anisimov - Skille
F4: Cracknell - Chaput - Boll

Pretty excited to see Wennberg with the mighty mites. That should go pretty well.

Johnson in net for the Isles against the Bruins tonight. No Hamonic or Grabovski due to injury. Anders Lee has been called up. Grabovski could be back on Saturday. Colin McDonald cleared waivers & has been sent to Bridgeport. It's to bad. I was hoping the Isles could free up a spot & shed his 600 plus K. I guess nobody wanted him. Good luck to the Bruins & their fans, accept for tonight that is.

Ryan Miller does not look engaged. He is upright and playing further back than I am used to seeing him.

Did Dallas break his head that bad?

The Real Deal has two goals for the Preds tonight against Chicago

 

[Cobiemonster]

Simultaneously, James Neal scores a hat trick for the Preds and the Penguins blow a two goal lead in Detroit late in the third period

Define engaged

Hes playing further back because hes changing his style as per rollie MOLEansens teaching technique. Staying back. Filling the net. Less movement. Economy of motion. Less reliance on athleticism. Probably something every goalie has to start doing as they age

Frankly, i dont think he will totally adapt and thats a problem ... Caught between 2 styles ... Screwed up luongo
Frankly, i dont even think he should try changing his style
Frankly, i think he will struggle this season
Frankly, i dont know why they signed him to 3 years at 6 per whèn they have 2 young cheap guys in lack and markstrom has COMPLETELY bought in to MOLEansens teaching ... (Check dudes ahl stats so far this year)
Frankly, i have a cousin named frank




/and miller just made an athletic save before the bonino go ahead goal lol
