With Giroux coming back for Game 6 I remembered a similar circumstance way back when. This was a message from 2014. I was up 2 games to 0 in the second round against Chicago. Little did I know that Chicago was "owned" by Sal. Hopefully Giroux can spark another comeback after returning from injury!

Glenn,
I'm torn on this. As you know, I am currently facing Chicago in the playoffs. Giroux and Backlund were injured for the first two games of the series and that worked out nicely for me. Both players are now back and available to play in Game 3. I believe Chicago has a new owner that is taking care of the lineup changes.
So, here's the dilemma. Do I reach out to Chicago's owner and give him the heads up or is the onus on the owner to update their lineup (especially in the playoffs and particularly when you are getting two of your best players back)?
What it all comes down to is this. If I beat Chicago I want to beat him at his best. I don't want to win because of a technicality. I want to earn and deserve that victory. I guess what I'm saying is, please contact Chicago's owner (and also let me know who it is for future reference) and let him know that they should update their lines.
