Davies, this is my 16th game all time. I'm 6-8-1. I've never been to Philly yet for a game. Never missed a game in Detroit since the lockout nine years ago. I didn't think any game could top the last come from behind win in detroit two weeks ago but the set up for this Saturday should be chippy. I'm very excited. I will be there, even if I've gotta walk!

When Lecav comes back they need to keep Raffl on the first line and move Hartnell to the 3rd or 4th line. I'd prefer to leave the 3rd line alone. What say you?

Yeah Hartnell makes sense on the 4th line. Harts/Hall/VV

Rino sits.

1st and 3rd lines don't get touched, imo.

You have the best player since Gretzky. Of course you should be up by 17 points.

- KGBflyers10

Maybe even two of them. Combine that with all the love that is handed out from the league and you've got a 20 point head start already.

I agree which means Harnell gets 4th line duty and some specialty duty.

Didn't realize that GWG was Giroux's career hundo.

I hate hip checks so much ... they are just so borderline dirty in my book.

As woulfhounds said, I wouldn't mess with the 3rd line either. Screw cap hit, players playing better, keep playing. As an example, If Ryan Howard can't get his OBP against lefties over .280 I don't care what he's being paid, Platoon him.

raffl is acquitting himself rather well on that line. no need to pull him off. wouldn't mind seeing hartnell sit. might light a fire under his ass.

we've won 11 out of our last 12 missing all 6 defensemen we started the season with, not to mention Malkin, Neal and Bennett. Shows how deep the farm system is.

giroux's cheese goal will overshadow it but my goodness the coburn goal was a real shocker.

I've never seen a knuckleball puck hit the ice, what, 25' out, change directions like that, and then go in the net. I almost felt bad for the Jackets tender there.

I think they're a beautiful thing esp when executed well. point of contact is around the waist, not like you're taking out the legs or kness

Here. Why don't we just stop playing this season and just award the Cup to you guys. You really deserve it. Pat on the back from me.
