GDT: Blues at Wings | March 23

[Holden Caufield]

I’m anti tank tbh but I respect your guys commitment to the tank

Let me try to convert you quick.

Anywhere from 7th to 13th worst finish is very much in realm of possibilities.

7th = 6.5% (1 in 15) for Bedard.
12 or 13th = 0.00% chance.

Is 3 or 4 wins down the stretch enough to make you want to throw out all your lottery tickets to instantly change this franchise at the drop of a hat?

My sentence was past tense.

Claypool is stupidly talented with the bass. Emphasis on stupidly. Another hot take analogy forthcoming... Claypool's bass playing is analogous to Tom Morello's guitar solos. Sometimes less is more, ya know?

Tom Morello is a riddle wrapped in an enigma. I have no idea whatsoever how somebody with such fantastic riffs can have such bizarre solos.

The guy goes from absolutely killing it to fingernails on a chalkboard (back and forth a few times) within the same song.

Ok, I'm willing to put up with a lot of crap on these boards but will not sit idly while someone disparages Les Claypool and Primus.

His bass carries those songs. If he played like that in a crappy band like Nickelback, it would absolutely be out of place and be cause for criticism. Good Lord, I shudder to think what Primus songs would sound like with an average bassist.

I'll have you know that Sum 41 has sold over 5 million records worldwide, thank you very much.

Tom Morello is the only man who can make a 2000 dollar Fender sound like a 50 dollar Cassio keyboard.

 

[Detroit Knights]

After we trade him for a Lindros-esque return, yes?

no, no. We will win the lottery in this made-up fantasy bananaland

completely underperformed for no reason other than they couldn't sum up to 42

I missed Husso getting hurt I think.

Hear hear! Primus is amazing live too. Going to see Les this summer where he'll do all of Pink Floyd's Animals.

Tom Morello, on the other hand is an awful hack and a poser.

Let's start winning boys, we need Zadina score 2 today

"Detroit and St. Louis were both founded by French fur traders in the 18th century, and over the last couple of years have traded players and draft picks back and forth like busy little beavers. Instead of dams, however, each team is busy building a channel back to the Stanley Cup playoffs. In fact, the only dams you're likely to hear referenced tonight will be curses from the fans of both the Blues and the Wings who are hoping for some bad luck in these last few games in trade for some good luck in the draft lottery this year, where people are expecting the fur to really fly in the early rounds." - Plausible Keats

that's a good one, damn, I do not know how you do this

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Les Claypool is the Neil Peart of bassists!*





*not a compliment

I love this line, but like a lot of people, I like both of these guys, so now I'm curious:

Who's a great bass player, and a great drummer, in your opinion?

 

[dalem177]

that's a good one, damn, I do not know how you do this

Thanks!

The decent ones pretty much write themselves. A little knowledge or Wiki, some word association, stir in a little clumsy, and boom.

I missed Husso getting hurt I think.

I think Husso also doesn’t remember getting injured.

Upper management recently informed him of his injury. #Taaaaannnk

Ahhh. Got it.

 

[norrisnick]

I missed Husso getting hurt I think.

Apparently something he's been playing through.

 

[dalem177]

C'mon guys. 8-1 antitank blowout.

C'mon guys. 8-1 antitank blowout.

Luff. Told ya! Or Mister Ed. It's all good.

 

[Realgud]

Ed's first goal

 

[Hen Kolland]

Edvinsson drew it up that way

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

EDS GOALLLLLL

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Hope they saved that puck!

 

[Realgud]

lmao two goals from dmen in a minute and a half

 

[dalem177]

 

[kook10]

wa-wa-wee-Walman!

 

[Detroit Knights]

Look, if we are going to win, then we need to at least make it like 7-0.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

St Louis isn't even trying.

They could have easily cleared that, Perron looked around and said "okee dokee, if you're just going to let me have it, I'll pass it to this guy wide open 12 feet from the net"
