[Jdaman75]

Friday and only 3 games schedules, come on NHL.
Would like to see Parros vs Engelland
Maybe a scrap or two in the two other games...not real interesting night.

[MattBurger]

George Parros vs Deryk Engelland
Dale Weise vs Richard Clune

[McDonald19]

Is Clune still wearing the jaw protective mask? No fighting until that's gone.

[dipandmitts]

i am thinking the hawks and sharks could have some fireworks....

[Stevens Lindros]

Possibly Engelland vs. Parros.


Nobody in hell for Vancouver to fight with Clune wearing the mask.


Hawks and Sharks could be something.

[NickDoh]

Hopefully Parros continues to pick up the pace after the slow start to the season and finds DE tonight.

[cookie monster]

Thornton vs Toews...rd 2

[Joser Jose]

Perhaps Toews dupes Dumbo into fighting again and changing the pace of the game? Fat chance but it would super hilarious!

[thruby]

Carcillo is back in tonight, so no Bollig / Mayers.

Coaches are starting to get more pussified lately. I thought he'd been playing well lately.

The pace of the fighting was going to eventually die down. I expect more healthy scratches the closer we get to playoffs. Sadly, 2 points are more important than a guy protecting team mates.

Shortened season means it's already crunch-time for a lot of teams, hence the enforcers are going to sit. Odd though, because George Parros is a better player than a lot of the 4th line scrubs out there.

Good points both but the Panthers need Parros, he's the only guy on that lame team that can create a spark. The Panthers are brutal to watch this season and their top guys aren't doing squat. Maybe the coach is thinking it will take one of their guys to get injured for them to wake up.

What an incredibly lame night so far.
