This is going to be a tough test.

 

I hope they come ready to play, really don't want this game to be over in the first 10 mins.

Bet the over

So even BB admits this odds are really bad.

Interesting idea and I agree about the need for size and might but how do you convince their agents to keep them buried there if they are NHL ready? If they are new draft picks, how do you know when or if they would be NHL ready?

They're not 'NHL Ready'.

They're meathooks that can skate and win fights.

Hell, keep the Oggies down in the E if you have to.

Injuries are a constant from here on in, and there will be Room At The Top.

is he the projected finisher though?

[Devron]

Well starting Halak makes sense if we are gonna win a game it’s tomorrow 

[Smashian Kassian]

he better be ready cause he can't be pulled tonight.

Hopefully he plays at the top of his crease instead of the back of the net

Well Dermott I hope you're better than Hamonic,  which shouldn't be too hard. 

Tonight is probably going to end poorly.  

Glad Demko gets a night off, but it should have happened last week.

I'm not giving up hope yet.  13-5 gives us a chance.  We need to win some big gritty games this week though.

[Odd.]

This game is gonna be over within the first 7 minutes

Bruce is a fantastic motivator and he's stuck with Halak; maybe this is a throw away game, but I doubt it.

Halak is still a good goalie; they all have bad games and he is not our #1.

If he stands up to the Avs and puts in a good shift, the whole team benefits.

If the team comes out flat again and he gets blown up (ree-al good*), Demko relieves.

Not a bad time to find out, imo.

 

*John Candy, not Willy D.

Pro tip: Don't take a lot of penalties against the Avalanche.

Our new third line.
