I wouldn't worry about it. Someone is bound to get hurt immediately. Who is due? Schultz?

Based on how well the pairings played the past few weeks, I'd probably keep Maatta out. Pettersson is going to be scratched, but I like the pairing with him and Gudbranson.

Gonna be interesting how it shakes out.

If one of the defensemen get injured, I’m murdering both you and LBL.

Maatta 68 career playoff games. Two Stanley Cup Finals appearances.
Pettersson 4 career playoff games - 0 pts and a dash 4 while getting swept by an underachiever.

He shouldn't come out of the lineup, but Pettersson will likely be the odd-man out to start...smart, effective defensive player...Maatta is also that.

Which would make a pairing of Maatta/Johnson-Gudbranson

I think Dumo-Letang, Maatta-Schultz, Johnson-Gudbranson is where we're gonna end up.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 5:47 pm

Hopefully so.

Johnson won't, and shouldn't sit

It's a minor note to consider for the time being, but we're in a little bit unique spot in that we have all four (of what I believe) of our top four prospects available to us...

Filip Hallander (Timra was relegated, despite his best effort), Calen Addison (Lethbridge out in the first round), Jordy Bellerive (see Addison), Justin Almeida (Moose Jaw eliminated first round)...

I think those first three are probably gonna get an NHL look...even if it's not right now. Almeida I'm less sure on. I also could be missing someone who belongs because I don't have the bandwidth to follow our prospects like I used to...

Kaspar Björkqvist and Providence College advanced to the Frozen Four.

tbh I’d rather see Pettersson than Johnson but it’s bottom pairing so I’m not that concerned

Don't have home ice in the series. Matchups matter.

John Bartlett and Garry Galley on the Canadian side
Kenny Albert with AJ Mleczko and Brian Boucher on the US side.

Have you not been watching games recently? Johnson has been playing better hockey than Pettersson since the Stadium series game.

Kendall Coyne will be joining he NBC crew after her season or whatever is over.

I’m feeling ok about us getting swept.

Well. That's a shame. I mean, dead air is nice and all, but it should be part of an overall style.

Postby **Factorial** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:31 pm

Dead air can be interesting.
