Nobody thinks Wheeler is a better option than what we have on the ice now, do they ?

Glue Panarin to the bench as a safety issue. Run their goalie and go with the repercussions. 

Glue Roslovic and Wennberg to the bench for being absolutely invisible. 

Play with the lines to experiment. 

20-16- 13

50- 93- 24

26- 22- 21

55-23

79- 4

56- 8

Spare Panarin save for PP time. 

Fuck the other 2. I really don't see what some of you rave about with the other 2.  Soft. Like my dick after trying to watch this game. 

One line teams do stuff like this.

Intentionally or not , should be gone and suspended/ fined 

There's zero question about intention. How'd the ref miss that?

Was..   was that a Kakko smile?  Nooo way. 

OK. Hathaway must die. Seriously.  That should be automatic gamer, fine and suspension. 

Probably should be dressing Rempe for games that these types of players get normal icetime.

Lavy may have balls but their not big enough to sit Trouba in the playoffs. They will sink or swim with those two. 

Torts would have the balls to atleast separate the pair and push Trouba to 3rd pair. Laviolette is on a happy family/ team kick and won't rock the boat.

Hey conspiracy theorists if Miller is so soft why did he just take a boarding penalty?! Don’t have a good answer do you?!

Because he's soft and took a dumb penalty due to his inability to hit, due to him sucking at it.

Tough game for Miller.  Falls down on first goal.  Deflects second goal in.  He must be upset about OJ

Broken stick? Helmets? Gloves? All good on the ice. Headphone wire. STOP THE GAME!

Fubo and their god damn delay. 

Panarin on the march for 50!

As perimeter as it gets. Shots are getting taken from further away than ever. 

I want a preposterous amount of face poundings on the annoying pecker head, Verizon guy. 

Nothing Trouba can do there. Good block, bad luck with stick placement. 

Getting absolutely abused like a 10 dollar whore. 

Weak goal there Quick. 

Fox almost  Lias Anderssoned! 

Holy fuck. 

Sam laying down a perfect foundation for a big let down game, by mentioning Phillys woes.

Team is playing well.  Kakko is playing his best hockey of the season with Wennberg . Goodrow, Brodzinski, Vesey has been a good 4th line. Chytil has never impressed me other than when he got hot for a few games in the playoffs and for the 1 stretch last season.  Why risk changing the team chemistry for Chytil?  We aren’t talking an all star.  And who knows what he comes back as.  Too risky a move for me in the playoffs.  If it was January or February I would be in favor of it. 

I think Cuylle and Kakko looked their best with Brodzinski as their C. Color me blech with Wennberg.  

But yeah, I think Laviolette would go through the guys that have been here all season,  before rushing Chytil back in there. Unless this was a salary cap circumvention, which I highly doubt is the case. 

I'd rather Chytil over the 3 options that would play over him, but I don't make those decisions and most would think that's a good thing.

Maybe not with the team at full strength, but what if a center gets injured

Gotta think Wennberg or Roslovic slide up or in and Edstrom gets the call. 

I'd love for Chytil to be ready. I think his time away from the team works against him as far as pecking order would go. 

But fuck yeah, if Laviolette is OK with pushing him through.

Only possible way I see Wheeler playing is if they are up 3-0 in the finals just to say he played on a Stanley Cup finals winning team.  
At this point Chytil coming back in the playoffs in my opinion doesn’t help them at all.  Comeback next season if possible but this season should be a foregone conclusion that he sits out. 

Or if they need a big body that plays in high traffic areas, goes to the net, has playoff experience and was the only player to have any success with 20/93... 

Chytil healthy is an upgrade over Wennberg or Roslovic.  

I really don't think either are realistically being put into the lineup. I was just busting chops with Wheeler, though I do think he is  very serviceable and better fit when healthy.

The excitement is real.  

Let's also not forget. They said Wheeler would only miss the regular season...

Ehhhh? Ehhhhh?

Mike Richter for trivia. 

Sam says the only thing good about Philly is cheesesteaks and pretzels. 

Trouba scores 2 goals and is a +3

Panarin hits the 50 goal mark.

Rempe sets career high in ice time at 6 minutes. 

Wennberg sets career high in hits with 1.
