GDT Canes @ Devils 2/21

Starting the thread...

Dwyer replace Malone in the lineup with Nestrasil moving to the left wing on the 4th line. Gleason is a game time decision; he didn't skate this morning. If he can't go, Jordan, who was recalled this morning, will play. Dobby in goal.

 

[Elsker]

Log jam on the right side until either Tlusty and/or Dwyer are traded with Tlusty being moved to the RW by the Staal/Skinner pinch on LW, coach still trying to get Semin started, and Nestrasil floating around until McClement is traded.

It's causing a shuffle between Malone, Nestrasil, and apparently Dwyer as to who gets two open slots since Nestrasil can also play LW.

Hurry trade deadline.

So, Khudobin in goal is a sure loss now right? It plays out that Ward wins and Anton loses this season?

 

[Elsker]

I suspect his recent streak of four losses following his six-game winning streak had more to do with the fact that he drew the Blues, Ducks, Wild, and Islanders.

All formidable teams for our anemic-scoring team.

EDIT: After further review, Ducks loss technically Cam's in relief since we tied it up on his watch before the loss.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Wonder how goal support numbers look of Ward vs Khudobin.

Wonder how goal support numbers look of Ward vs Khudobin.

Right now, it doesn't look like Khudobin will last another period... Maybe Ward will pitch a goose egg and Gerbe with hang four goals on Kinky for the win.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Yeah, no way Ronnie shops Ward if Khudobin keeps playing like this, or even if the team plays like garbage in front of him.

I expect barring injury there was no possible way Peters would waste Ward's 500th NHL game on a roadie relief appearance when the next game is at home. This game was going to be Khodobin's no matter how it went.
