Wish we had gotten Fred rest for game 4 of the first round series, and gotten Pyotr in for a lower pressure situation.  At this point because of 2OT Fred has to get rest, but I don't love going to him only when forced.

Win at home and give ourselves another chance to steal a roadie.  We're in this until we're not. Let's fudgin go CANES

It's playoff numbers in years past have been awful.... that said Pyotr has never played in a home playoff game.... this is quite literally a do or die situation.... we are done if we lose (I don't care if we technically still need to lose 1 more)

That said i have a feeling that PK on home ice with last change in front of us is gonna come up huge tonight.

If we can win tonight in a convincing manner it very well make spark the team.

Pyotr best be on his game. Not particularly a big fan of going pytor this game. Should have been last game. 

I'm in the same boat with you.

Let's hope we all get good Koochie tonight

[Panthers Fan 69]

Fun fact…since December, Koochie was the 3rd best rated goalie in the league…

 

we need to let Koochie be Koochie and we could have another 06 cam ward situation.

I would go this as my lineup. 
 

gutz Aho Jarvy

necas Kuzy Svech 

maartnook Staal Noesen

KK Drury Lemuix

Same defense unless pesce comes back  

koochie 

Full send on the JAG line, we need that line out there, being feared and gameplay panned against. Not us playing their game.

it's not that i disagree with this sentiment as much as objectively i think Svechnikov has been our best all around player in the playoffs altogether

Hopefully we can stop hitting shots into Igor's chest tonight...

It might sound crazy but I think this is a very different series if.... Jesper Fast was healthy.....

 

Rod has relegated Jarvis to Staals line greatly weakening line 1....

Wow that's soooo insightful..... you show up every post season to make nothing but negative comments.

 

I'd prefer we fire away and have guys netfront for rebounds and redirects....

Fast being hurt definitely hurts the strength of our top D forward line.

Jarvis-Aho-Guentzel

Necas-Drury-Svech

Marty-Staal-Fast

TT-Kuzy-Noesen

The only problem is figuring the odd man out between Necas, Svech, and TT for the 2nd line (unless we wanted to go Necas at C and move Drury to the 4th line). I like the way Necas has looked in the series more than TT so I will go Necas on line 2.

I literally have no idea who you are, but when we stop hitting shots in Goalie's chests then I will.

And actually having an open lane and a net front presence will help with the deflections. We have rarely had both happen at the same time on shot attempts

If he's not gonna have Jarvis on line one the only other place that 100% makes sense would be at 2C he's gotten very good at faceoffs he's a natural center and he's dynamic.... 2C is the biggest roster weakness..

Oh that's a long list.....

 

But I take it back I like the way you think pre game.... 

 

Tonight is for the season if they come out with the goalie change and play the way we know they can we have a shot, I just hope PK keeps ahold of his stick.
