Don't let GD see the line rushes.

 

[TD Charlie]

On call this week and there’s a production server downtime happening tonight, which means I’ll be on the phone for a couple hours starting at 1am. But I’ll probably work from home tomorrow and take my time waking up in the morning, so it should even itself out. Hopefully i can catch this one on my dvr during lunch, cuz there’s no chance I’m staying up to watch tonight.

Really just wanna see Krejci get himself going, and perhaps the third line isn’t a matchup nightmare for us. The top and bottom lines i have no worries at all.

WAYBACK MACHINE

[PlayMakers]

Czarnik with a hat trick, and we'll have to listen to Bruins fans complain for the next 20 years about how the Bruins let him go for nothing.

Bruins win 5-3.

Well, before that happens, put me down as someone who thought they gave up too early on both Czarnik and Vatrano.

 

[Sheppy]

National Pasta day, 4-2 Bruins...

Too late.

I’m watching the Sox

Donato must have incriminating photos of Cassidy.

[Fenway]

The only way I can describe Calgary is Houston with mountainss.

I am surprised by the number of locals who believe the Flames are moving to Houston. They need a new arena here and talks are going nowhere.

What a debacle that would be. A legitimate hockey city losing a team for Houston, TX.

 

[Alicat]

I don’t think I’m going to make it to either the Bruins or Sox games the way I feel right now.

Hopefully with another small cat nap I’ll be ready to go.

Really not happy* about sitting Heinen again and than hearing Dreger mention him as a guy who’s name could be out there for a veteran F...seems Bruce has turned on him

I remember last year mid season Heinen was slumping and Cassidy said something along the lines of, ...kid has earned the right to fight through this slump he’s been a great player all year and done all we asked of him...

Guess that has changed now

Getting major Wheeler, Boyes vibes from the situation with Heinen

I hope not.

If the B’s deal Heinen, he will go on to score 45-50 pts a year for the next decade and I will make an “I told you so” post every day he’s in the NHL.

At this point Vatrano is clearly someone we could move on from, I think our 3rd line would look a lot better with Czarnik on it though and would have last year as well. I really think he is a piece who could have solved our 3C problems this year but Bs decided to use him to promote PRO instead. At this point it's whatever he is likely never more than a 3rd line center, but I do think he would have been great to have on the team this year.

The billionaire owners are seeking corporate welfare, and the mayor of Calgary is rightfully standing his ground.

 

[jgatie]

Nah, Daddy threatened to kick his ass.

You must mean literally kicking? Because the thing I remember most about Teddy is him falling to the ice and kicking his skates at a guy who tried to fight him. Truly one of the most embarrassing moments ever for the spoked B.

He'd be a perfect spare guy here
Is Czarnik durable enough to last 82 games out West?

IDK if I'd say Cassidy had turned on Heinen. Bjork and Donato actually looked good together last game (granted vs DET). This could just be Cassidy seeing if there is something with Donato/Bjork.

YET the mayor also is looking at the 2026 Winter Olympics

The main 'buzz' in Calgary today is something became legal at Midnight and there are long lines waiting to buy.

I love west coast games...

Because I live on the west coast.

Right on

Yeah this is definitely a big year for him, I don't know if he has the size to hold up for a season but if he can I think he'll do well.

Feel better soon!!!!
