Is Hiller expected to get the start today? [aka: Ducks/Yotes] [Answer: Probalby not.]
Nothing on Left Wing Lock and I'm wondering if I should bench Anderson.
Though I might just do it anyways because even if Hiller doesnt play today I assume he'll play tomm?
Chapter I - The Ducks
On offense we have Niklas Hagman. I thought DSP was still there, but who knows. He's centered by totally non-appealing nine-goal Getzlaf. Right wing Corey Perry, unless he's out. Man, am I ever out of the loop. According to the source we have Andrew Cogliano with Saku Koivu and a kid called Teemu Selanne again, which kind of makes me think this is way outdated, but I'll just go with and moan about it. On the third line there's Booby Ryan (yes, I'm taking every old joke or meme I find along the way) with Nick Bonino and DSP, which kind of rules out the questions regarding datedness, so strike that from the record. The fourth line may or may not consist of or include ingredients of Jason Blake, Rod Pelley and/or Matt Beleskey.
Defensively, there's still Francois Beauchemin with Cam Fowler, Luca Sbisa with Lubomir Visnovsky, and Toni Lydman with Sheldon Brookbank. Kind of uncreative, but who am I to judge. Creativity set in beyond that, however, as Mat Clark has been recalled, and at the very least replaces injured Nate Guenin as a press box attendee. In goal, Jeff Drouins-Deslauriers was off the ice first in today's practise, which tends to suggest him playing tonight's game, giving him a wonderful chance to make an anonymous moderator around here feel a little better about the very kind words he had for him when he signed that contract last year and which may well end up blowing up in his face when that second year on a one-way contract kicks in, so here we are, go get yourself some trade value for Tampa Bay, so that you can beat out Sebastien Caron for Dustin Tokarski's backup job for next season. But no pressure. Even less than for Jonas Hiller, tonight's backup, and most likely tomorrow's starter. Which also answers the OP's initial question. For undisclosed reasons, I will refrain from closing the thread even though his question has been answered.
Chapter II - The "Did you hear they are building a new arena in Quebec City" Coyotes
Their first line consists of former and future Cologne Sharks player Ray Whitney (he comes here in lockouts!), two way-excellence Martin Hanzal, and Radim "quietest 30 goals since the last time Radim Vrbata scored 30 goals" Vrbata. Unfortunately, Vrbata never scored 30 goals before, but I really wanted to make that joke; sorry for that. Their second line allegedly is occupied by Danish Mikkel Boedker, former Ducks fan favourite's trade/free agent target and now simply inhabitant of bad contract Antoine Vermette and Lauri Korpedo Korpikoski. Raffi Torres joins one of this year's top free agent centers in Daymond Langkow and Shane Doan (no way that's where he put up this year's numbers, even if they are not as great as I hoped when I drafted him in September). The fourth line has Gilbert Brule, Duck-hunting expert Boyd Gordon and former long-time solution for the Ducks' 3rd line center spot, Kyle Chipchura, on it.
On defense, Keith Yandle and NHL player Derek Morris are the Yotes' first pair, followed by the amazing Oliver Ekman-Larsson (who did not drop the second part of his last name from his jersey, unlike some other Swede somewhere up in the north...) and Adrian Aucoin. The Yotes' third pairing consists of Michal Rozsival (who many may remember from highlight reel trades like "wow, I can't believe the Rangers did not have to give up more for Wolski than him") and Rostislav Klesla (who netted the Jackets Scotty Upshall in a trade last year). In net, we have Mike Smith, who expectedly proved to be the great replacement for Ilya Bryzgalov, as everybody always assumed and never doubted. His backup is Jason LaBarbera.
The game starts at a certain time.

Reason: Fantasy Request turned GDT... ;)
If there has been some designated GDT-creator, I can change this up again, but otherwise, this seems to be as good as any GDT to go along with our recent "seriousness" approach to those...
