Theres also an article on how the cowbell giveaway was the worst ever

they have to do with — gulp — the city of Toronto itself, a hockey-mad metropolis that has hosted all of three postseason hockey games in the past 12 seasons.

Think they’ll be ready now?

Toronto will be insane.

ok claude put chucky centering 3rd and put torrey on 4th which is what i was hoping for. torrey can score in playoffs on 4th line. he's done it before for us.

top 4 defense is solid and markov, shea and petry can score.

bottom two is awful. nate was a -3 last game. nesterov is garbage but claude wants him for his possible scoring versus davidson's stay at home defense. We need emelin back soon on last pairing. hopefully next game in new york.

Forwards

Pacioretty - Danault - Radulov
Byron - Plekanec - Gallagher
Lehkonen - Galchenyuk - Shaw
King - Ott - Mitchell

Defense

Markov - Weber
Benn - Petry
Beaulieu - Nesterov

FTR, this was at practice. it could all change at gametime. i'd rather davidson than nesterov.

Agreed. NBA blows. I don't get the endless love affair with it. The next 2 months on ESPN will be almost unwatchable.

And like that it has changed. Good. Davidson now paired with petry and benn slides down to help Nate. nesterov benched. Good.

It's all the national media cramming it down our throats that I can't stand. I can listen to sports radio for hours, and only get the occasional NHL playoff updates. The rest of the coverage is nothing but boring NBA. The atmosphere is so much better for NHL games. There's nothing better than OT playoff hockey. Does NHL radio no longer exist? I used to be able to listen to national broadcasts on NHL playoff games on radio.
