Gonna need Trouba to step up like he has.

Schneider needs to take off the training wheels.

Zibs needs to put his hair in a bun and get dirty.

Trocheck must step up. I believe he will.

 

[FultonReed]

just read the news. f***.

we're about to really see what the core of this team is made of.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Hopefully the Wild take it easy on us. It seems like we frequently gets blitzed in Minnesota.

Minnesota, we love you!

This is in honor of your greatest export to the world: Jesse "the Body" Ventura.

In 1991, the Department of Defense paid Sinéad O' Conner $12 million to collaborate on a sci-ops project codenamed: Beast Note. They were attempting to record a specific musical note not found in the standard human range. They believed any animal who heard this note would become susceptible to mind control; effectively turning that animal into a sub-human assassin.

The first experiments in "Project Beast Note" were done on a 642 LB prize winning forest hog named Stromboli. They would play a recording of Sinéad O'Connor singing the Beast Note every morning, as Stromboli ate his slop. Within two weeks, the scientists running the operation were able to teach Stromboli how to fire a modified MP5 sub-machine gun with his mouth.

...So as you watch your children choking down thick slabs of market pantry brand hardwood smoked bacon with their pancakes, pray to God that the colon cancer kills them before the Stromboli does.

It seemed like this was going to be a Quick start anyways, hopefully just precaution giving Igor a few days, and not worth risk dressing him.

I want to see the line combinations.

Time for Mika to wake up from his coma. Kakko needs to get off the wall.

I did see Vince say Bro will most likely be 3rd line and Tro moves to Flo's spot. (Just wanted to keep the rhyme going)

 

[Leonardo87]

Also, read that Goodrow is out. Is that good or bad?

I’m assuming Brodzinski and Cuylle were linemates last year in Hartford so this makes sense.

 

[Fitzy]

I'm hoping it's Gus who is promoted and the Jones-Schneider pairing gets sheltered hard.

Time for Kakko to start producing some offense.

 

[Crease]

Injuries are part of the game. LGR.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Get to OT. Try and get the extra point. That’s how I’ll feel for the next month.

My money is on Schneider-Lindgren, Jones-Gus

Also, read that Goodrow is out. Is that good or bad?

He's giving birth

 

[LokiDog]

He's giving birth

They usually just say stomach bug.





Yes, I know, I hope all goes smoothly for he and the wife.

Gus - Lindgren and Schneider - Jones would be a better match up for style of play I’d think no?

Schneider-Jones history is not good, but I guess we'll see

 

[hardnosed]

Schneider now an integral PK guy and of course Gus on PP1. Fox is missed in every unit

 

[Kords]

I’d just replace Fox with Gus in all situations but the PK. Lindy is the most trustworthy stay at home guy.

Jones gonna look bad no matter what. Sitting so long is kind of setting him up to fail.

Edit: wouldn’t mind seeing Jones getting Fox duties at all. Probably not the best recipe but would be an interesting experiment to try for a few periods.

Also, it's November... not March

Team has to deal with adversity... here's Tom with the weather.

All true.

I wonder how the fans here will weather a few losses?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Watch the Rangers lose a close hard fought game without three of their best players and the usual suspects will tell us how they'll never win anything and they wish we'd blow everything up and tank.

 

[Fitzy]

Not well Tom,

Not well at all

 

[majordomo]

Zibs needs to put his hair in a bun and get dirty.

Wonder why he's the only one who hasn't cut his hair? Panny shaved his head, Laffy got rid of facial hair, even Shesty cut his hair and he's no longer wearing that barrette during games.

@mas0764 already has his draft ready.
