No way @Striiker has seen this show he is way too young

I absolutely have. It was on all the time when I was a kid.

Who the hell names a kid Topanga?

I was at the dentist this morning getting 2 cavities fixed. I don't know if it will be worse than tonight's game.

Thanks for confirming you aren't a dentist BP. Unless you're somehow a mage and can make a copy of yourself to conduct your own dental work.

I'm pretty sure no dentist does their own fillings. Except maybe Steve Martin.

The closest I ever heard of self-dentistry was from a friend in high school. While he was having his wisdom teeth out, the assistant passed out, causing the dentist to slash the side of my friend's mouth (inner cheek?) with a scalpel. While stitching him up and after unceremoniously carting out the assistant, the dentist said that he had no other assistant so my friend had to assist. He got a discount.

That is the bad part...the increased icetime falls to Laughton, Thompson, and Grant as 3 of our 4 C.

All should be on the 4th line....at best for 2 of them.

If only we had a promising center better than at least two of those players.

The man who cut out his own appendix.

This one is pretty well known. Not typical dental work though.

Clearly G only has one pair of big boy pants, per above, but you can always just wear the same pair again.

Fits well with hockey superstitions, anyway.

Just don't wash them.

I dont know why you just dont hop on board the "hope our top line and Carter can carry the rest of the team train" yet.

Lol. With some of the names you see parents naming their kids these days, Topanga isn’t as weird as it used to be.

DOWN WITH THE DENTISTS!

DOWN WITH THE DENTISTS!

If you have pliers, some string and a door, you should never need a dentist.

Who wants to bet that AV is keeping Couts being hurt/healthy a secret until the last moment (if Barzal doesn't play because they think Couts is hurt, AV then brings Couts out on the starting line up)? Or am I giving him too much credit?

 

[Jtown]

if he is a game time decision he is good to go. there is no acute eye condition that exists where it would be couldn't play because eye trauma as you can imagine is highly polarized.

I don't think any credit is needed in this situation. They're not allowed to talk about injuries necessarily so he doesn't need to talk about it.

Yeah the only thing I could think of was maybe there was some swelling around it that made it hard for him to see, BUT I’m glad he didn’t have any serious trauma to the eye

 

[Amorgus]

Who the hell names a kid Topanga?

It sounds like slang for tits, which is appropriate because we used to comment on her Topangas when the show was on.

*Fletcher, AV, and Therrien running this team*

Only 12 more hours until the torture ends

Not exactly sure what you are trying to say here, but certainly there are eye conditions (related to trauma or not) that would be difficult the predict the timeline for ability to play hockey. So it is possible they are going to have someone check his eye at 6:30 and decide if he is playing or not.

I'm only an optometrist, not a dentist, so take my opinion for what it is worth.

when comparing eye trauma to say ligment or tendon trauma there is a significant difference i imagine. Acute eye trauma i imagine is highly polarized either it missed the eye or it did not. there is no inbetween. And with an eye the organ itself tells you the condition it is in. Can you see? NO i can can not see. That doesn't sound like a game time decision to me. Can you see ? Yes i can see , again doesn't sound like a gain time decision to me. With tendons and ligaments there is a variety of grades of trauma that determine the severity of the injury , and the tissue itself can't tell you the condition it is in the way the eye can with acute trauma.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Either gamesmanship or Barzal had more than a cut.

I'm presuming he plays.
