Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beau-Nelson-Brassard
Johnston-Bardreau-Dal Colle
Bailey-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

Pelech-Pulock
Toews-Mayfield
Leddy-Boychuk

Greiss
Varlamov

Koivula and Dobson the extras.

Bailey seems like a mismatch to me on that line -- both because he's not exactly an "energy" guy like Cizikas and Clutterbuck and also because he seemed to have been a good fit on Barzal's wing. But...oh well. I guess we'll see how it works out.

Bailey on the 4th?

I think that line is considered the 3rd line, even though it is listed as the 4th.

3rd line really and they have 3 solid lines now and a real 4th. Let's see how it goes

Yeah noted that in my edit. Doesn't seem like the best spot for him...and he doesn't seem like the best kind of player for that line. But let's just get 7's post out of the way and say, "Trust Trotz!"

Cizikas does have a mind for offense, so maybe Bailey helps him bring that out a little more.

I don't hate it, I'm just surprised. I figured they'd put Johnston in that spot.

Barzal!

Barzal, I just went from 6 to 12

All those chances that lead to Toews taking a penalty were because they lost the draw. That's a serious issue

Compton doesnt know the lines, need to stop relying on him

60/40 griess on net and starts in the playoffs at this rate. Of course it's a London season too

Mayfield!

What happened to Casey now?

Pelech saved pulocks bacon twice in a row

No call on the hook on mayfield but a trip on lee getting a puck in trockeks feet. .

That looks like a high stick to me.

Way too much pressure on Greiss this game. Where is the offense?

That looks like a high stick to me.
- JimmyP

And it doesn't matter if it goes in of greiss aj it was propelled by a high stick. How its propelled is all that matters a deflection is not possession and control

Good, no goal. Now close this out Isles!!

The call was awful on the trip
