I can't read Sacco's goaltending decisions too well. But my guess is with Varly's last game (which wasn't bad ftr) he'll use Giggy and see how they respond with Giggy in net.

There really is no right answer in terms of who to use tonight and Wens/Thurs imo. Varly could play both back-back fine, Giggy could take 2 of the next 3 fine.

I'd probably be inclined to say (if they are doing well on the PP) you have competent special teams coaching, unlike us.

Regardless, I expect a very high scoring game tonight and when we meet up at the end of the week. I think both rosters will have a lot to prove and neither will look to let the other demolish them, given how both of us are seen as the future of the conference (Minny too I guess, just haven't been as impressed with them... maybe when Brodin/Dumba develop).

Did we ever get a confirmation on starters? I'm guessing Giggy for us.

They've often out-chanced the other unit so far this season, and they've basically each scored at a similar rate (3 goals each) thus far this season.

I do always love games in Edmonton. It's always a face paced game.

[Mr Forever]

I predict a 9-6 win for you guys.

Watching live is amazing love going to Rexall. The only other place that comes close is the Bell Centre and funny enough the HP Pavillion that place is deafen'n

Agreed, they are always very entertaining even when we lose.

Good thing Sacco learns from his mistakes.

Was he questionable before?

And so begins Landeskog's continuing battle with concussions.

Not primary point of contact with head my ass.

Why did he finish that game then?

Concussion/Whiplash symptoms are not immediately apparent always. I'm thinking it's the team being cautious with him, 10 years ago he'd likely have played and gotten severely injured on the next hit.

Good question. I didn't believe at the time he wasn't concussed. Now I'm sure of it.

You seriously need to be reminded that concussions don't necessarily manifest themselves right away?

[NothingLikeAnEJ]

Head and neck injuries always pop up a couple days later. Dammit this isn't good...
