Dominic Simon with a nice PP snipe with 9 secs left in the period. 4th of the season. Kid is good.

Anyone mention Duper being out tonight... possible Blot Clot relation..

Scary to be so close to game time. Hope just precautionary

Though the 4th line with Sprong looks good, i still think we need to be playing him more than 4th liner minutes.

For Dinger, well hes barely played so idk how the teams assessing any kind of future he has with us unless theyve already made up their minds

Also if anyone has a feed to the game tonight i'd appreciate a link

I'm wishful in thinking he went there hours ago, and just not reported right away since he was now (now being near the article time) missing from pregame skate. Rather it be an issue not created via skating or taking a bump in a pregame skate and its just "oh, lets tweak the meds a bit and all good".

Geez, this is bad news.

Does this mean sprong playing LW with Sid? One can hope

I'd put my money on Kunitz.

not that worried about dupuis. he will be fine and will be back next game. the good part (yes I know it might seem rude) is that now we can see a first line of something other that dupuis - sid - horny. maybe sprong?

Duper

Id like to see Kunitz with Cullen and Fehr.. .old guy line.
Put Plotnikov back with Bonino and Bennette .. skate like old guys line
Then throw Sprong up with Crosby.

Or they don't want to mess with a team that's winning.
- stackthepads

With Dinger I believe the team would be winning also.

Fehr to get teh 1st line LW... eh? Not sure if good or bad... just he has said he hates LW

Rotoworld has plot Cullen sprong. That'd put fehr top line LW. Then again rotoworld isn't the best for hockey knowledge

Looks like Fehr to the top line, actually cant say I can complain, that could turn out really well.

Probably bad. Probably means Sprong has not impressed in that position.

Fehr: I hate LW
Coach: Fehr need you on Crosby's LW
Fehr: I love LW

I sense a lot of sarcasm in this post... but you can't really believe Scuds should be playing over Clendening/Pouliot (not the cluster(frank) of a bad player Pouliot that was the preseason btw, last season Pouliot).
- Guile

Yes sarcasm, but I would like to see a little transparency in selection. Dinger has had nothing but 1 game, even when we were losing (which I don't blame on Scuds), but seeing the rotation policy for the F, why isn't the same philosophy used for the D?

Sucks about dupes. Yes I don't like him on top line but I don't want him hurt or ill. I did say it was a mistake for him to come back.. blood clot is very serious. Hopefully they find a spot for him in management

he could be the "pump up" coach

Probably bad. Probably means Sprong has not impressed in that position.

he has had roughly.. 4-5 days of practicing LW, when he was focused on RW from the draft and preseason. I say give it a few more weeks and if hes not playing LW, they aren't confident. At least Fehr has had pro games as a LW in his career.

So... ya want me to logic HCMJ not switching around the D pairs? God, wish I knew... Not sure Dumo is the fix for the top pairing (excluding the obvious Maatta fix), but why the Hell are we not trying him up there, when Scuds-Cole was a solid pairing last year? Unless its having a near 7 million 3rd pairing they want to avoid... which is so god damn cringeworthy even typing that, I don't understand it either.

honestly I can't understand how so many players have problem playing off wings. I can play great either wing and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE playing off wing... though I am not a nhl talent
