I would grow my playoff beard until victory is decided. But I'd shave before hoisting the Cup. Gotta look good in the pics.

We've checked the obvious Ristolainen jokes off the list. Now who follows up with the obvious Star Wars jokes?
I'm on it. A new Finn... naked, leaking, bag? What, did you fry a chip?

Just get into the playoffs and let the chips fall where they may.

You think lack of pull-ups dropped Casey?
That's the ticket. We just need to get the rumor mill going. Cozens only did one pull up! And I read that Turcotte couldn't do a single one. (And neither could Kakko.)

Right now I am roughly at: subject to change of course. ....
Hughes --- the last name of my top line center in NHL98. If he's that good, we'll be very happy
Kakko -- the K-Gun. More Ks to join UPL K^6.
Turcotte -- sounds like a guy who would drive an AT-AT
Byram -- sounds like a Rebel pilot
Cozens -- sounds like an Imperial officer
Zegras -- sounds like a bounty hunter
Dach -- the excited young snowspeeder gunner!
Pod -- "Now, this is Podkolzin!"
Boldy -- "To boldy go where no one has... " wrong franchise.
Krebs -- sounds like an Ewok2 minutes ago, Derrico said:So we all need the same luck/mojo that we had last year. Everyone is wearing the same underwear as last year just like I am right ?
Right there with you. I've been wearing the same suit for about 50 years.

No love for Dach on here?
I like him. I think he could take on the whole NHL himself.

Speak for yourself please. I coached in the NHL for 14 years, won over 400 games, including 4 Stanley Cups. I was also a GM and built a franchise from bottom up.
Back in my day we interviewed a few good old boys first. We drank a lot of booze and swore a whole bunch. Then, we decided if the guy was alright. Didn't need any analytics either.
I like this guy.
It sound like my hiring practice. I'd take the candidate out for some podracing. See if he or she could handle spinning. Then, we'd drink and discuss tendencies and aspirations like becoming Admiral vs. a Moff. Finally, I'd give them a little Moulson Choke, just to test their mettle. I don't care how many midichlorians they've got, I want to know whether they'll crack under the pressure of a large scale assault and if they're overconfident against a bunch of small one-man fighters. What kind of Imperial Officer are you, Mr. McLellan?

Apology accepted, headcoach Housley.
And, like everyone else... I agree we need an established coach. No first timer Youngling-helpers who are baffling in their decisions (Qui-Gon-Rolston), or "I inherited a great roster and won a battle but then completely lost the team the next season" (Bylsma-Tyrannus), or "I rode the coattails of a great coach and people liked me but I never proved anything except that I had 4 great defensemen and am still a first timer coach when it comes to padawans" (prequel Obi-Wan).

Well... that was a fun end to a disappointing season. The odds of successfully winning the lottery are 11.77 to 1.

Oh trust me, this win tonight means nothing and doesn’t change a thing about this years team. I certainly hope you’re not that naive.
We'll never lose again!

Larry getting fancy, too... but he hustled back on the backcheck as well.

They did everything they could to get him that one.
That could go a surprisingly long way to keeping him here.
They went as far as double-shifting him and with Eichel-Reinhart for the goal. Nice.
Now... Mitts, get your powerplay marker. I've liked your game tonight.

Dahlin and Skinner!

The heroic push to draft pick #7.
If the Rangers lose, we could pick as far back as 9th...

Are we going to win our first back-to-back games in regulation since October? In... April.

I outrun Imperial Locomotives... I'm not talking about the local bulk cruisers, I'm talking about the big Latvian kind. Zemgus!

Skinny! Nice Risto imitation there!

Wooohooo! Nelly.
Edit: Sheary!

Skinner... just impacted on the surface.

Deflected right to his wheelhouse. Tough. C'est la vie. Killed the first one. Now, choke off any of their momentum.

Nice work, McCabe and Larry.

Thank you, Montour. But dang, you can't give up that chance right after a goal scored. Sheesh.

This GM is my kind of scum. Fearless and inventive. We'll never suspect the true coach until it's too late.
