Pre-Game Talk: I Have a Confession

[JordanGalhanth]

I can understand "resting" Ceci/Nurse... But otherwise that's basically a full lineup.

Why?

Gives Pickard a better shot at a shutout

I wish I liked burnt popcorn. Then I'd likely never have to share.. at least a lot less than now.

Honestly my family stays away from my popcorn because I'm conservative with the butter.

Popcorn in my house is what I guess I'd call our daily driver. Someone is making it almost every night. It's a pain in the ass to find good popcorn. Costco is great if they have those massive jugs which is great value for the money. No name popcorn varieties while cheap.. tend to not pop as well in my experience. Am definitely open to suggestions.

Hell the only reason I may watch tonight's game is it's a good excuse to have popcorn.

When Skinner started vs. the Sharks, I was convinced he wasn't even boarding the plane to Arizona and the one of the two goalies were meeting them to backup one of the games and start the other.

That said, if Edmonton is confirmed as not playing until Monday as rumored, then I don't see as much an issue having Skinner play the extra game vs what everyone had assumed would be an equal split for the final 6 games.

Hopefully that rumour is true. 3 days off is fine. Especially as they didn't break a sweat vs. SJ and I doubt they will vs. the Avs, with both teams locked into their spots.


Though I don't know how to read tonight's game. Do the Yotes come out hard, looking to give the fans one final show; or are they already checked out, and focusing on the trip to/tour of SLC at the end of this week?

Slacktivism for the last game for the yotes. White Kachina for my avatar to pay respect

Would be hilarious if edm wins like 10-0. What a way for Arizona to go out. Lol

Knob obviously hates the Coyotes and wants to spoil their last game.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I don’t even like Broberg but this D lineup might be an improvement

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Well, I’m old enough to remember how close we were to losing our team, so I can empathize strongly.

Man that was a close call that doesn’t seem that long ago. Good reminder why we oughtn’t take pleasure in the misfortune of others.

Whatever Lavoie did to someones wife/gf in the org, it must of been bad.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

No problem here if Arizona take this one. Let their fans say goodbye with a victory.

I'd rather Steven doesnt get the opportunity.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Nice shot of some big buttes for all! Saw them on The New Wave trail earlier this afternoon.

Its pretty strange that I'm in Arizona at the same time the Yotes are going to play their last ever game against my favorite team. What are the odds of that? I'm off to Horseshoe Bend now. Enjoy the game guys!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I dont know if its getting older or what, but Im starting to put and hot sauce on EVERYTHING.
Maybe life is just so bitter and numbing that hot sauce is the only thing that makes me feel anything.


My inlaws noticed everything I put hot sauce on, is just a vessel for carrying more hotsauce be it popcorn, pizza.

So I took that as permission to drink half of my brother-in-laws sriracha bottle.



And I don't have some insane spicy tolerance. I'm addicted to the pain.

Since you like pain, you should do some prairie fire shots.

 

[Oilhawks]

Ah, so Knob is running the playoffs pairings tonight then? (If only)

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Cap not an issue. It costs us like $8000 against the cap (or as much as $12K if it was Campbell) to call up a player with 2 days left in the year. The coach/GM just don't want to.

You're only allowed 4 call ups post deadline. We just cant call a ton up and rest everyone,
