I hope Jarry gets the start, but I have my doubts. It's going to be a tough go with both Tanger and Schultz out, but it just means that Marino and Riikola will have to have some of their best games so far. It is doable. I will feel kind of bad for Ruh if Trotman gets the call over him, but Trotman hasn't been sitting in the bleachers all season either. In either case, the D just needs to play structured, play within their abilities and get major support from their forwards.

 

[Ryder71]

Yeah, give Jarry a shot.

[Luigi Lemieux]

Despite a so-so record and a slew of injuries, you have to be encouraged by the pens play this year. Believe it or not they are #1 in the nhl in 5 on 5 xGF.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

I severely hate the NYI.

Lawl..


At least our worst logo was just a robo-pigeon...which wasn't that bad, just cursed...

But look..LOOK at this:

Now I want fish sticks for some reason.

Mmmm...fish sticks...I should have that for dinner.

Just go full bore and do what I call "Redneck Delight." Fish sticks w/ tartar sauce and side mac and cheese. Possibly with tots... your call. Wash the whole thing down with an ice cold Boosh... in camo cans, of course.

With the d that this team will be icing, I may need to have a few beers tonight

 

[Khelandros]

I am most excited for Riikola on the #1 PP. A d-man with a bomb that knows how to get it on net.

10/10 Sullivan puts Riikola on left wing to activate Jarry at the point.

how far has he come.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

"Everyone keeps bitching that I need to work Jarry and Riikola into the lineup more... be careful what you wish for, plebes!"

But no really were the lines posted up somewhere? Are they going with Riikola on PP1? I guess that would make some sense considering the options available.

Sounds like a quick trip to the terlet if you ask me.

Well the Boosh alone will do that.

A few of those bad lads and you'll be able to shit through a keyhole at 40 paces.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

TJ has to play.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

The fact Riikola can hit the net with his shot is a major plus all in itself.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Well the Boosh alone will do that.

A few of those bad lads and you'll be able to **** through a keyhole at 40 paces.

Holy shit, The Mighty Boosh is on hulu. Thanks for reminding me how awesome that show is.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

"Bludgeon my face in. Destroy me. Pull me apart like soft bread. Punch me in the...tits! Twist my head clean off and put me to sleep with your kind boots, Mr. Fancy Man"

 

[ownal]

I think Trotman & Horny are in tonight.
