Cowen!!
Should be fun to watch, although I have pretty low expectations.
Also, he’s paired with Carkner, which is going to be a very slow pairing.

I'm looking forward to it, too.
I wonder when Lehner gets a start up here?
Actually, he’ll probably get a start in Bingo if they’re eliminated before their final game.

Yeah, Lehner won't start here
Gotta get Elliott in the groove. Also, AHL is a better place for Lehner to not have his confidence shattered, heh.

I would much rather see Cowen-Phillips

What I'd really like to see is Android-Cowen
I’d REALLY like that to be our top pairing in three years.

So... who is playing with Phillips?
Campoli?

Maybe Karlsson
They’ve played together before, and that would leave Sutton-Campoli which makes sense
Or we’ll se Sutton-Phillips, Karlsson-Campoli
Either way I think
Phillips-Cowen
Karlsson-Sutton
Carks-Camper
Is our best bet. But thats just me

I don't think we break up Sutton-Karlsson
They’re playing too well together. A very complementary pairing.

Agreed, Sutton-Karlsson is a strong pairing and should not be broken up

So should I root for the Panthers or Devils tonight?

Do you want to play Pittsburgh or Jersey in the first round?
by Peter Raaymakers on Apr 8, 2010 3:05 PM EDT up reply actions
I see opportunities in either matchup
But I also see challenges to both of them. I don’t have a preference, per se.

Not Martin, obviously
Have you seen his stats this year?

Oh, so true.
Gotta be our boy Not Martin.
I would’ve thought Cuba would be more a fan of Iginla, or another random player like George Laraque, or Wayne Simmonds.
