At this rate it's going to be Alan, the line cook at the Chilis in the Las Vegas airport who happened to be the only guy in the building who had ever worn skates before when Aku Koskenvuo unfortunately slipped on a wet floor and tore his achilles as the Canucks were leaving after winning the WCF.Looks like Rutherford is going to have three rookie backups take him to the cup: Cam Ward, Matt Murray, and Arturs Silovs
Did Tocchet get Myers sick?Did Myers get CDS sick?
Demko injured, team flu, Casey injured hand/body checked, Pettersson not producing, Hughes getting targettedAlso, my gut says this is the flu making its way through the team.
We haven’t seen JT Miller on the wing since was Horvat traded for any extended period of time. This has also been his best stretch of hockey he has played in career to date. I think some of play driving numbers are due to lotto line dominating play in past years so I don’t a ton of stock into his play driving numbers. I also think if the last two games showed us anything JT Miller should be playing against the OReilly line Lindholm got dominated in game 2 and 3 when lined up against them and did not generate any offence in game 3.
Also again don’t break up Suter-Miller-Boeser.

These 3 games have felt longer than the entire regular season.
I like the idea, but you can't have your two best faceoff men on the same line. Might make sense to put that line together in important defensive situations.Load up the lines imo
Miller/Lindholm-Boeser
Joshua-Petey-Garland
Hoglander-Blueger-Lafferty
Mikheyev-Suter-PDG
I really don’t like Hoglander with Pettersson. I just don’t think it works, Hoglander is much better with guys he can forecheck and crash and bang with as he’s not the greatest puck handler.
As much as Lindholm has been fine as of late, I think it’s a waste of his talents to keep playing him as the 3C. Playing wing + with Miller and Boeser should allow him to open up more offensively.
Myers, but it was his shins that were sick, and his body fought it off before it made it to his torso. Tocchet got his head sick.Who got Tocchet sick?
That’s actually really embarrassing. They better come out firing today
Dhaliwal suggesting it's an injury—rather than illness.

Casey DeSiiickI think he means that it's additionally an injury, since we all know that Casey DeSmith is f***ing siiiick.
So who goes in when Silovs goes down?
