  1. As long as it isn’t a My Pillow. They’re filled with lies, not down.
  2. Agree on Jake. Best season with the Blue and Gold. Risto might not coming back for while. Issues with Covid. If we lose McCabe and Risto for 5-6 weeks as alluded to above it would complicate our playoff potential immensely. Pleasantly surprised with Borgen so far. But leaning on Dahlin/Miller/Montour to play those kind of minutes for almost two months will be challenging. Due to the compressed schedule 6 weeks is ~25 games. Ouch.
  3. Maybe RFK needs to take the boys out on a little boat excursion. Seemed to work for R.P. McMurphy. Billy Babbit, Martini, Tabor, and the rest of the boys came back to the asylum with a renewed energy. Although, it could result in Charlie Cheswick telling Kim, errrr Nurse Ratched “Rules?! Piss on your ***** rules, Nurse Ratched”
  4. They cannot trade Linus, as he is an unrestricted FA in June. They will not have to protect him at all. I think its assumed that Seattle would be taking a goalie from Dallas (Khudobin) or Vancouver (Holtby). Would you rather?
  5. I would like to commiserate. My feelings: “Belly-up and arch your back Well, I ain't really falling asleep, I'm fading to black”.
  6. Posting the I don’t care song, That’s not right!!! Your brother doesn't post that song. Your father doesn’t post that song. You’re like a crazy person. Now get upstairs and put your big pants on.
  7. That sequence resulted in zero shots. Not a horrible period, but did they register three shots on goal? Need more.
  8. I think he means on the first line. Tage took his last shift.
  9. “The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow.” ― Thomas Paine
  10. Tied for the lowest Expected Goals for. Second last in Scoring Chances and second last in High Danger Chances. Although the last two are obviously impacted by the hiatus, still bottom 7 when adjusted for games played. Said by others, unwilling (or instructed) not to go and stay in front of the net. I would to see a Rick Vaive type player on this squad.
  11. RFK- You might want to ensure 44 is on the bench next time Bazzel is on the ice
  12. No doubt. But to quote the great one, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Driving the player into the boards equals no save required.
  13. Dahlin struggled skating backwards. Horrible goal but definitely contributed to the play. There were two sabers Reinhardt and Miller covering the other side. Rasmus had no business playing off his man. No reason to even allow a shot.
  14. This is his Wally Pip moment. He skates Monday and replaces Montour in the starting 6.

  16. Sounds like you can accomplish half of your vacation wish list from home. And save yourself a few Shekels in the process. Cheers 🍻!
  17. I have Jeff, his agent, JB (and we heard that he was not convinced of the term) and Terry. Who else?
  18. Agreed. Not hearing this jagoff on HNIC is music to my ears. .
  19. Is it though? The additions of Bieksa and “Stewy” have brought the quality down in my opinion. Also not a fan of Burke at all. McClean is a treasure, and Elliott is always good. NBC is stepping up its game. I think Sharp, Anson and Jones are solid in studio, and while play by play is lacking on NBC, the color commentators Brian Bouche and Eddie Olczyk are better than DeBrusk and Simpson. I like McGuire, but I can see others not appreciating his style. HNIC still has that certain something, but the margin is slimmer than you suggest.
  20. Come on PA. You know the rules of Haiku. 5/7/5 syllables with a hint of nature as theme..... Many games, fun for fans Old guys struggle to keep pace Ice transitions Golf. I took liberties on PI’s last two statements. More games for Hutts can’t be good for their playoff chances.
  21. Watching a lot of Montreal games myself. Does anyone remember that Marc Bergevin was fighting for his job only a year and a half ago? They struggled early in 2019/2020 including a six game losing streak but since then they have improved each month and now look like a contender. The top six is phenomenal. Off-season acquisitions of Anderson and Tafoli have early returns. They have 8 and 9 goals respectively. He signed Gallagher to a reasonable extension. His trade of Max for Tatar,Suzuki plus a second round pick is paying dividends. Suzuki alone looks like a win. Joel Edmondson (5th) has made Mete expendable. He swindled JB in the Scandella deal, earning an extra second round pick from Stl. And the trade for Allen (3rd) seemed questionable this summer, when they already had Price but they seem committed to lightening the load of Price. I believe he is 4-1 with a GAA under 2 and a save percentage north of .930. Imagine having a back up goalie playing lights out. Kevyn, are you paying attention?
  22. Always knew this guy was "Riff Raff". Let's do the Time Warp again!!!
