TurdBurglar Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Throwing this together quick as we need a GDT. This is an important game as a loss here puts Calgary within 2-3 point of the Habs in the last playoff spot. This game will almost tell the tale of how this season will end. Hanifin out for Calgary for the season. Could someone post the lineups for tonight? Won’t have a chance to, as I won’t even be home until the end of the first period. Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 We win if Caufield plays, lose if he doesn’t Quote
Neech Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Whoa I musta blacked out for a couple of days.... par for the course for quarantine Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 If Caufield plays our coach better have him with good players. If they put him with Staal on the 4th it would be a mistake. Quote

The grit Perry adds to protect him for the first period at least would be wise. Maybe after that mix in some Anderson, Toffoli or Tatar in Perry’s place. Quote

We are light on hope in Habsville. I also think that our team stinks so Caufield can help us stink a little less Quote

GHT120 Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 LOVE that we get to see him play HATE that Tony Marinaro was right ... even an idiot can occasionally get a good tip ... but he will think he is the new Bob McKenzie Quote
illWill Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Cue the boost this team desperately needs and the subsequent run to the Cup! *Disclaimer: still might not win the Cup 1 Quote
Habsfan89 Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Like I said at deadline I would of traded Tatar for draft picks since we're not going to bring him back anyway and play the kid in his spot. But Bergevin didn't and this kid has been sitting since. Makes no sense to me why they didn't trade Tatar since they planned on calling up Caufiled. Quote

I think we can’t score worth a crap outside of Toffoli and Anderson. We keep losing Caufield will score tonight and probably more than one. So due to goals getting scored, we will win Quote

Because Bergevin needs this team to do as well as possible and trading Tartar for picks would at best a lateral move ... scorer for scorer ... in the immediate term maybe more scoring but more likely about the same at best ... when everyone is healthy the team will have a legit Top 9 with scoring ability Quote
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 Don’t like Romanov being out but I guess it’s what they had to do Quote

Commandant Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 The smart move would have been not bothering with Gustafsson, 1 Quote

That's currently May 15th but would be extended if there are AHL playoffs after all) ... or Caufield's emergency recall ends and Romanov gets called up ... much will depend on how Caufield does in the short-term Quote

bbp Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 NHL.com is saying that Romanov is in? So is he on taxi squad or playing? Quote
