Neech Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I said two weeks ago, looking at a stretch of tough games, that 8 out of 12 points would be a success. We got 11. Now this week has some weaker opponents, along with our biggest rivals. I hope there's no let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 One lineup change for sure for the Habs, Bournival is in for Parros. Bourque will stay in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stogey24 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 We're carrying some solid momentum. Hopefully we can keep rollin' tonight. I honestly feel bad that White isn't in the line up. He's played his heart out as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played his heart out as usual. You can't just bury Bourque on the bench and Bournival has had way too much of a positive impact to keep him out long. That leaves White as the odd man out though with a 3-in-4 starting tonight, I don't think he'll be out of the lineup too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That leaves White as the odd man out though with a 3-in-4 starting tonight, I don't think he'll be out of the lineup too long. One of my criticisms from the past has been the use of the 23 man roster. You can't have any expectations of success if you don't rotate your players frequently . You just can't have someone sitting on bench for a month and expect them to produce. My take would be that they have done the best job this year of using bench, than they have in the last twenty years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRP Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I agree, MT's use of the bench, and rotation of players since all have returned from injury has been great. Murray has improved dramatically in his last few starts, and has began to show that he can fill a much needed role on the team. Cube has looked better with some rest, and it keeps White hungry as well when he sits for Parros/Bournival. 82 games is a marathon, and a big part of making the playoffs will to be spread the minutes as well as possible, and MT is anal about minutes.... Looking for a reboot from Galchenyuk and Bournival tonight..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovett's Magnatones Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Jagr-Zubrus-Zajac. You can really catch a couple of "Z's" when that line is out! Who's going to have the first "shoulda got Jagr" post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobin Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Some uneven play so far. Saw that goal coming with so many failed chances to clear the zone, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Is it just me or is the ice terrible? The puck was bouncing around all period, it seemed like no team could make three straight passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Its not the ice that's terrible. I would say it's more the turnovers and the inability to win battles or be first to the puck. Hopefully that will change in second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Its not the ice that's terrible. I would say it's more the turnovers and the inability to win battles or be first to the puck. That certainly didn't help either. 7 shot attempts in a period isn't going to win you many games...unless you're the Leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Of the five shots on goal, one was within 50 feet, none were within 20. Ouch. I have to think they'll do better than that in the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
