Rip The Mesh

Kuzmenko's having a blast. He always looks that way ...

I sat through most of this; Just seemed / felt, like they were not going to be able to tie the series.  Not well played; Not well manages,/ IMO...

Get the bats going or you're dun! Vlad has just gone so cold as of late. Swings at bad pitches. They have this afternoon to tie the Best of three wild cars,

or it's over.

So who are the best guys left? Hronek and Boeser I guess? Presumably DeSmith in net. I'm guessing Hronek pairs with Soucy on the top pairing and we have Myers on the 2nd pairing and the rest of the guys battling for D spots playing on D. Will be interesting to see if this ragtag can be better than the last one, but they should be with more NHL calibre players and against a Seattle team not icing their full roster.

 

EDIT: Forgot about Kuzmenko.

 

First line of Boeser and Kuzmenko...with Suter I guess? Lacking offensive power at centre without Miller and Petey. I wonder if Hoglander gets to play with Boeser or Kuzy or if he's supposed to anchor his own line. Beauvillier probably fills out the last top 6 winger spot, but we're so weak at a C this game I wonder if we try something like Joshua at C. Studnicka will probably get the 2C chance tonight I'm guessing.

 

My guess for the top two lines are:

 

Kuzmenko - Suter - Boeser

Hoglander - Studnicka - Beauvillier 

 

Only caveat here is that Hoglander and Beauvillier are both LW as far as I can tell, so not sure if they'd play RW for a game.

 

Soucy - Hronek

??? - Myers

 

DeSmith
 

Really like that Kuzmenko - Suter - Boeser line. Two born scoring machines and a player adept at the defensive side of things.

Why though

I'm betting it's so Rick can get some final looks before he has to cut it down for regular season's play.

The folks in Abbotsford that go to their games are in for a treat.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is the odd fan or two that has partial season's tickets for both clubs; Abby and Vancouver...

How 'bout we just trade for a partner for Hughes? Get er done, PA.

 

Podz, Hogs, and a 1st

 

Who does that fetch?

Probably a really good player, but probably one that our current cap can't handle.  As I write this, I think of that last shot of Benning in a Safeway. 

Yah; OK, so the kids goy wheels.

If EP is dealing with an injury or soreness from that cross check he’s going to be angrier than a hornets nest. 
 

He’s got a bit of a mean streak

when tested and I wouldn’t want to be the one who pushes his button next. 

Quite true!  He's not the same skinny superstar he was when he firs hit the scene. He'll not be hesitant to skate past an assailant that's done him, or a team-mate

wrong and check him in a manner that creates pain, while never taking his eye off the play. He is about the smartest player, along with Hughes, to wear a Canuck's

jersey..
