Great! Then I'll do my official "Nobody gives a shit, but I do it anyway" line breakdown.

Perezhogin - Koivu - Kovalev

Latendresse - Ribeiro - Ryder

Bulis - Bonk - Hossa

Higgins - Bégin - Sundstrom

Get used to those bottom lines ladies and gentlemen. Aside from the occasional Pleks and Enforcer, those lines will be a constant.

However, is it just me or is Sunny's salary too much for a 4th line player? If that's his spot (and with Hossa and Bulis's play so far, that will be his spot) then I have to again state he will be traded. He's a 2nd or 3rd line player on other teams, and his salary backs that up.

Also, two tough guys left in camp, and neither are dressed tonight? I'm not even sure Ivanans has been in a preseason game yet!

The rookie - vet - vet line combos on the top two lines are nice, though Tender seems to be set up to fail since Ribiero's play hasn't been true to form lately, and this is Ryder's first game of the preseason AND he's coming off an injury. Let's see what Latendresse does against the odds.

As I mentioned before, no Pleks in the lineup. Has he already earned his spot while the other rookies are still fighting? I think so.

Bulis - Bonk - Hossa

A few years ago, that line would have been our #1 or 2.

Okay, I've got an update. Apparently, the time on the schedule is wrong. NHL Network is reporting 8pm EST puck drop, so we're an hour and 15 minutes away. I've also found a radio station that's going to be broadcasting the game. You all can thank me later with love letters and flowers.

Sundstrum is a PK and defensive specialist. He'll be penciled in on the 4th line, but him and Begin will be taking on a lot of ice-time during the PK (Don't forget, this is the "new ice age") and when we're trying to protect a lead.

Fine, I'll give you that. However, if Higgins proves to be adept at the same role, then Sunny won't need to stick around.

yeah~ i think the game starts at 6pm tonite~ coz they r playing in Moncton, which ckac is not covering (bcoz it's a on road game and they only present local games) and thought cjad would cover it since they did them all until now, but i think only tonite's game will be OFF AIR for everybody :(

Well, atleast we're in the lead. Let's not lose it like we did last time.

By the way, was that last goal credited to Latendresse? Because he didn't touch it. Nice shot, Markov!

Too bad. Although from the back angle, it looks like the puck changed directions, from the front of the net oyu can see the puck has scored before Tender even raises his stick to attempt a deflection. That's two goal judging mistakes in 1 game.

but tender said that he felt the puck touching him so he knew that he was the last one who touched the puck, but he didnt care about who was scoring coz he was enjoying the *WIN* more than the goal ;)

I noticed that after the goal he punched the air with both fists - in short, the dance he did after his other goals. But form the angl I'm 100% sure he missed it. Weird how from the back you see it changing directions. Also Latendresse seems like a nice kid. I doubt he would lie about that.

Haha! Desert Dogs!

But it's true. Every site has different scores and some sources say the game hasn't even started yet. If a site said 10-0 we'd be forced to believe it.
