Florida wins.

Preds should win. PPG Hintz will take this one and Perry gonna score lots of clutch goals.

Surprised Hischier is scratched, sounds like he’s playing tonight

[kyuss]

yeah I was thinking "perfect timing for Nico to come back" and then was pleased to see Chris left him out.

Still not pleased to face him in the 1st round though, seeing other possible opponents out there...

Verhaege out should help, but we'll have to see if Hintz plays or not, he missed the 1st game too.

btw, Bonino with 3 points tonight and 1 more for Goligoski, good thing Zucc showed up to salvage the first game of the night for me.

[kyuss]

Bonino also gets the eventual GWG, in the face of Zucc's pair

[Florida Chris]

Bringing back Nico would of put me over the cap, and with him still not activated as of puck drop Monday, I did not want to take the chance. Wish I new Verhaege was out, as he is waiver exempt and that could of helped with the cap.
