  1. "Like you could do better" is the stupidest comment you can make in a sports conversation, and is a comment made only by a**holes.

    On the interwebs, the answer to "like you could do better" is always;

    "Why yes, yes I could...." <dramatic pause> "What were we talking about again?"

     

    Land the space shuttle? Yup.

    Score on a breakaway against Hasek? Durn tootin'.

    Run a sub-10 100m? Pshaw. With one hand behind my back.

     

    :beer:

    Let's go win this one.

  2. We've looked good with him (and Eichel) in the lineup on several occasions -- certainly we're quicker with Fedun.

    I hope he makes it back to Rochester. I like him as a 7, rushing d. But... If I'm a playoff team looking for cheap playoff depth... I snag him.

  3.  One point back. The "too many teams to leapfrog" thing doesn't really apply anymore. If we keep playing like this, we'll likely make the playoffs. We control our own destiny.

    I love the optimism.

    We'll be on break next week -- so by next Saturday Boston, Toronto, and Ottawa will all have played 2 or 3 more. We will learn patience.

     

    Good, fun game. Lehner and Eichel were our best players. Kane very solid. Nice effort. Now... let's get a pint or two tomorrow, too.

     

    :beer:  or point.

  4. I like Rob Ray for the entertainment factor. But most teams I've watched have a play by play guy, a color guy and an on-ice guy. They have Rob doing too much. I'd like to see Marty step in so they have three guys. Some nights Dunleavy can call game, RJ can do other............ some nights Rob can be on the ice with Marty up top with RJ/DD, some nights Marty can be on the ice with Rob up top with RJ/DD. That way there's four different combinations, it breaks the monotony. 

    Rob made the highlight of the day so far on the St Louis broadcast while helping fix Pang's monitor with some tape. He is the heart. But it's true, we need someone doing analysis up in the booth with the full view.

  5. Seriously, enough of the kid anthem singers. It's not cute any more. (It never really was). That was nauseating. 

    I was over in the kitchen...  and radio only because it's on NBCSN so I can't watch it over the interwebs....    I cringed from 30 feet away. That was who we selected to represent us on a national audience?   I didn't know it was a kid... that makes me feel bad. But still. I don't feel that bad. That was not a good rendition of either anthem.

  6. Yeah, Idk, maybe its "ideal lineup" or something. I didn't think about that until you mentioned it.

     

    Memories... of the way we were!

    Here's the lineup we iced in Vancouver, 3/23/2014. We scored on 2 of our first 3 shots and I was happy...  but from that point on it was obvious we were AHL-level. It might not have been exactly rock bottom, but... take a look at this lineup! Leino couldn't even make it with the injuries.

     

    Foligno – Ennis – Stafford

    Conacher – Hodgson – Mitchell

    Deslauriers – Flynn – D’Agostini

    Scott – Konopka – Ellis
