Canes vs. Islanders Game 4 Sunday 1PM

[MillionDollarCam]

I wonder if Rod liked what he saw with MacEachern and Aho and goes:

MacEachern - Aho - Jarvis

Martinook - Kotkaniemi - Necas

Noesen - Staal - Fast

Stepan - Stastny - Puljujarvi

All contingent on Drury being unable to play of course.

I don’t think so, Necas goes to 1 either way, unless he does that crazy next man up line juggling again.

I don’t think Necas or Jarvis have ever played left wing.

It would have to be Noesen, Martinook, or McEachern on Aho’s left.

I was thinking the same thing for the first line. If Drury plays put in on the 4th line with Stastny and Pulju, I just haven’t been that thrilled with Drury in the playoffs,  he gets pushed around. Mac Attack should hold his own.

One was on Sunday at least for some shift I’m pretty sure. Because they did rotate Necas up for at least a few shifts. I wouldn’t mind TheEach running with Aho, I don’t like putting Marty up there, Noesen I wouldn’t mind though.

One news source indicated Rod said Freddie should be available as a backup. I listened to that interview and Rod didn’t say “backup” but I’m convinced Raanta will be in net since Rod knows he’s the horse we rode into game 5 with.

Take game 5 and Raanta and the team get some good rest.
