This 1st line has not gotten us there though. Would love at least one period with a new 1st line.

I don’t disagree I’m just going with what I’ve learned from watching trotz. He doesn’t change much when it comes to his personnel.

Man this is a great series so far but now they need to win in Boston again

He shouldn’t be. Zajac has been fantastic. Him and Palmieri were flying tonight.

I agree.

Agree Potvin, which is why I said Wally may just get a shot with Barzal and Ebs if healthy.

Except when sorokin is 4 1

Shat happens. Mistakes are made or every game would be 0-0.
I still believe they can win this series. A lot of hockey still to be played.

I hear ya. Just a sh!t way to lose after fighting all night. I’m sure they’ll be fine next game.

And Varly is 1 - 3.

Hard fought close game. Both goaltenders were awesome. Will be surprised if Varlamov is not in net next game.

Barry does not need help and especially from me but I'm going with Wally on the that 1st. It's a fact Barzal and Eberle have really struggled offensively with Leo on that line. Any added offensive can mean the difference in this series. Isles going to need adjustments against a team like Boston

Yeah there’s that too. I don’t care who’s in net, more concerned about only scoring one goal tonight. Glad we don’t have to wait three days again to play.

Yep! Can understand going with either goalie. I do feel more comfortable with Sorokin these playoffs though.

Your lips to Gods ears. I hope you’re right and Wahlstrom gets a shot on Barzy line.

I’m not gonna be able to even watch the next game which is killing me.

In the POs after a loss they have been pretty good under Barry.

You think Barry noticed Leo wasnt on the ice when Barzal scored?

And Varly is 1 - 3.
- JohnScammo

Barry prefers the experienced hand. As does Lou. I underatand why. I am concerned though that Varly is giving up a softy per game which is a killer against a defensive team like this

Are you a fireman? You work multiple days on then days off I think.

- potvin05

No. He set up two goals early in the Pens series, one with Palmieri and one with Bailey amd Beau, yet remained with Ebs and Komarov.

Doubtful since Leo was back on the 1st line.

How good was Pelech tonight by the way?

B’s are great at finding soft spots and changing angles when shooting. We need to take a page out of that book and do the same. Also get bodies to net for rebounds and screen Rask more.

Transit. I’m in the middle of 16 hours right now. Missing Saturday because I bartend also and we’re having an event and I’m not missing that. Too much $$

- TogaIsles

If Wally is good to go I'm putting him in for Leo and would probably go the rest of the way with Wally. Boston is not the 80's Oilers you have to worry about Wally and defense. Isles going to need all the offense they can get. Isles dropped Leo twice He has no business being on the 1st line and who is going to get on Barry for sitting Leo?

6:30 start Monday? My kid has practice till 6:45 an hour away wtf

How good was Pelech tonight by the way?

Pelech and Pulock have been awesome.
