Preseason #2: Sens vs Flamers - Saskatoon Edition

They don't tuck in their blouses in Saskatoon

Who are we watching tonight...

Turris
Pageau
MacArthur
Neil
Hoffman
Zibanejad
Prince
Lazar
Petersson
Dunn
Grant (if healthy)
Kramer/Cowick/Hamilton

Wiercioch
Cowen
Phillips
Ceci
Gryba
Claesson

Anderson
Lawson

Something like that I presume.

Did those guys you listed even make the trip? A lot of them anyways? I assume it's going to be basically the same lineup.

None of the bolded players are there.

Here is the roster for the 2 game trip:

Didn't realize that...so yeah, I'm wrong.

I'd keep a close eye on young Jimmy O'Brien.

Lines for tonight:

MacArthur-Turris-Hoffman
Grant-Smith-Condra
Conacher-Da Costa-Robinson
Kramer-Hamilton-O'Brien

Phillips-Ceci
Boro-Rutkowski
Sdao-Corvo

Lawson
Hammond

This information has been available for, literally, over an hour. For shame, GM Hockey, for shame.

Huh, interesting combos. Some guys are gonna HAVE to shine - Hoffman for one.

Hopefully Ceci has a good game as well...the MacArthur/Turris combo has the making of a decent second line.

Yeah...with who though? Will it be Conacher - who was good last night? Or will it be Pageau the Great? Or Hoffman? Or Zibanejad? This is where it'll get interesting. I think 5 of the 6 in the 'top six' are set, now...for the 6th.

Then, when that's decided, we need a sexy 3rd line as well - and we know the "4th" line is as good as they come.

Greening/Conacher/Pageau are the leading candidates for that 2nd line wing slot, I would think. I like Z-Bad and Smith as centres 3 and 4.

No, the top line is getting a rest and the Turris line will be in. I assume Hoffman will be on RW as that's what PMac said he'd try first.

Don't forget Stone.

What channel is this on?
