Yeah, Boston. If we manage to get past the Isles, I'd prefer to see CBJ. Not because they are a worse team, they just don't seem to pile up as many bodies and we are already hurting.

And because we'd have home ice too. Let's home for a long, hard series, at the very least.

I'm starting to worry about these injuries guys... Mac Attack did good, but Petr needs to come back 100% if we want to keep going on this run. If TVR is done for the season we might be in trouble too. Just hoping for reinforcements from Svech/Marty/maybe Ferland in game 3.

The Checkers don't play until Friday so Ned will be with us until then. Hopefully Mrazek will be ready to go after that.

Not expecting TVR at all the rest of the year so we'll get Fleury and probably Bean (at least until Friday).

I'm also not expecting Maenalanen or Ferland to be back unless we make the Stanley Cup Finals.

I do however think we'll get Svech and Martinook back on Wednesday.

I'm assuming it will look something like this:

1. McGinn - Aho - Williams

2. Niederreiter - Staal - Teravainen

3. Svechnikov - Wallmark - Martinook

4. Foegele - McKegg - Brown

Extra: Bishop

1. Slavin - Pesce

2. de Haan - Faulk

3. Fleury - Hamilton

Extra: Bean

Starter: McElhinney

Back Up: Nedelkovic

Injured: Mrazek, Maenalanen, Ferland, van Riemsdyk

 

Just a guess...

 

 

Nino will be first line, Svech will go back to second with McGinn third or fourth. Unless they're really trying to protect Svech by limiting his minutes

I was thinking they’ll ease him back into the lineup and have Mary out there to protect him then in the following game have him play with Jordo and Turbo.

Yeah that'd make sense. 

[MillionDollarCam]

Really hope the BJ’s can squeak out a series win over Boston.

They won’t be an easier out but at least it will be a hockey game and not a blood bath.

Also hoping Dallas can somehow make the SCF’s, I think we match up well with them.

Biggest thing we can do is try to bury this series as soon as possible. If we can win this thing in four or five games we will be able to get healthy going into the ECF.  Very important to try and finish them at home.

Yeah, I agree with this. Leading the series 2-0 coming back home for two games. We have time to work him in slowly and allow him to work back into the naturally. And considering how the team has been playing the last four games, I have no problem treating him with kid gloves for another week or so.

Good news on Mrazek, everything else looks as expected.

I feel like Ferland has been day to day for months now.

Ferland skated today for first time in a while so atleast he’s getting closer.

Supposedly, this is a nagging injury that has been ongoing for some time and will take some time to heal as well. Might not see him until the next round.
