I sure do. Man those were good times. I can't believe he is 30 now. Unreal

Nah, reduce Richards to 1minute on the point and put St. Louis on the point for the other unit.

Hopefully Kreider can open up space for Nash ... It's the only way he's going to hit twine

I'd like to see Diaz stay out there though, BR is already reduced to minute with McD. I think we all want to see Kreider on the power play but he hasn't been used since MSL arrived.

I can see Nash/DB/Zucc - Diaz/Dan G Allow Nash to play with Diaz, Brass and Zucc, all exceptional passers.

So conversely CK/Step/MSL BR/McD let CK park his arse in front of the net.

Pouliot sits, Nash isn't sitting, unless you take Brass out, let BR be the pivot with Stepan on a unit and play Stralman on the point or even MSL

I'd rather keep Pouliot out there and sit McD ... He's not ready ... If it wasn't the playoffs, I seriously doubt he would have been back so soon.

That could happen, but McD is one of those guys his coach is going to go to no matter what but I understand your point. Regardless, the power play has to produce at some point. I loved the way Diaz bombed from the point.

Game 3's PP was so much better than the previous 2 games, where they couldn't even get in the zone. Hit some posts, had a decent amount of chances. If Kreider came back, I would move Marty to the point, and Richards could sit.

Those bombs were the only real bright points,the PP has had ...
Shoot more, pass less, just get it done ...

We will see what AV and staff decides to do. For all we know he stays with the same units.

Richards is more if an offensive threat than McD right now ... AV needs to recognize that his shoulder is not 100% ... Gotta play to your current strengths, not those of the past, or near distant future.

GOTTA WIN GOTTA GOTTA WIN GOTTA WIN GOTTA WIN

Interesting in MTL, Chiarelli addressing the media, I wonder what its all about? I'd like to be a wise-ass and say they finally arrested Chara up there but I will refrain for fear that something serious is going on.

We are loose before the start of this game!! I am liking it!

Hey man, no sense in sweating six hours before the game.

At 6:30 though, all bets are off, haha.

See that right there is why you are a fan favorite.

Generally not a Piscopo fan but that recurring "once" line was iconic.

I hear ya, no kids here yet, but I get it. I try to pump myself up before the game. I shamelessly use WWE themes lately but they work.

Go ahead, judge a 35-year old man that listens to the old DX theme song as a pump-up.

I judge nobody.

This shocked me:
