Ooh Iskhakov over Martin is definitely a good move. Might be rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic but I hope Iskhakov makes the most of his chance.

It’s happening. Roy probably can’t save this season but am excited for next if he is willing to bench guys like Martin.
Edit: the thought just occurred to me that one of Lou’s favourite moves is to start a guy out of nowhere because he is in trade talks with another team. Just something to consider.

Love seeing Iskhakov in there, must have made an impression to be included here in a must win game. Just have to take it one game at a time.
Would love to see Ishakov on the 2nd and Fasching on the 4th. Why put a gritty grinder on the 2nd with goal scorers and an undersized skilled non-physical winger on the 4th? Give him a chance to show what he’s got

I love giving Ishkakov a go here. Desperately needed jump in the lineup. Obviously it’s gonna be a small sample size but I wanna see what this guy’s got.
I’m not huge on putting Sorokin in here – Varly has done maybe 1 thing wrong this series so far – but I’d wager Patrick Roy is in the bottom 3 of “people whose goaltending decisions I should question.”

Like Iskhakov on the 4th line. Speedy line is needed now. Would have also gone with Gauthier in for Fasching. Fasching is a good puck hound but they need some speed up front.

Wonder why Iskhakov over Gauthier? I thought Gauthier was actually helpful at times throughout the season when he was in the lineup.

120-28 shots Carolina Isles the other night. Prob need to stop bitching about the canes and just focus on puck on net. The excuses are mind numbing for this fanbase. I swear the fans can’t get over that the canes are just a better rounded team.

I rather see Fasching on 4th line than Iskhakov but we’ll see what happens

That third line is an abomination. What is Engvall supposed to do with Lee on the other side 45 feet behind him skating up the ice.

[Maintenance day for Martin, decision will be made tomorrow whether or not he plays](https://twitter.com/stefen_rosner/status/1783162276012319200?t=kJ8ed0QKKrqI6H-RNNqE1g&s=19)

I would switch Iskhakov and Lee.
