Fantastic GDT, would read again.

EDIT: Got line combos up. No info from the enemy.



...And anyone who's paying attention noticed something a bit different this time.

Good ole Lumbus. Kinda forgot they were still around, which is surprising seeing how they've capitalized off of last year's momentum so well.

Viqsi, you are my best friend. I would take a bullet for you, I have cried in your arms, I have had my wounds tended by you...but today, play hide and go **** yourself!

Go Preds! Go Blue

Die in a fire.

Die in a fire.

Oh hush. Where are our sandwiches?

 

[BigFatCat999]

Die in a fire.

And so succinct too...

With how cold things have been, that sounds nice.

 

[I Will Son]

Lets do it

 

[hockey diva]

Hope the boys show up to play tonight. These are valuable points with St.Louis and Chicago coming to town next week.

I'm sure they will, particularly with the way they played against the Oilers

I have a slight feeling Lavy won't accept a bad performance after that one Thursday. I completely expect us to come out firing and win this one handily.

I'll be heading over as soon as Vandy is unfortunately getting killed by UT bad enough that I can leave. WOO!

 

[jwhouk]

Cotton candy with a side of blueberry JAM!!!!!

 

[Enoch]

Fisher really back!?!?!?

Taylor Beck at center?

 

[Adz]

Fisher really back!?!?!?

He was back on Thursday, so yes.


Remember when Columbus games were a guaranteed win? Ah, those were the days. Spot 'em 4 and still come back to win--in regulation with seconds on the clock. Good times, good times. That isn't today's Columbus. When things click for them, they're a good team. Lost yesterday 5-0. What is the likelihood that that will happen again? Very low. And they hate us. A lot.

So FOCUS. Last game at home, you're thinking about those things around the house you didn't get to, you're thinking about playing St. Louis next week, you're thinking about the standings... This game. Tonight. Focus.

FOCUS.

I came down to see 101, I'll come down there to see you too.

But basically, no. :-( Would like to get that going again.

[INDhockeyfan]

Looks like Cullen is back tonight and Roy is a little banged up and is sitting so it will be Cullen Fisher Jokinen on the 3rd line. Peterson said that Fisher should be slowly adding minutes with special teams every game. Cullen and Fisher were 2/3 of our 1st line at the end of season and the fact that they are playing 3rd line now just tells you how much depth we've got at forward and how much skill we've added.

 

[moomoosoup]

How was Fisher in the Edmonton game? As bad as the rest of the team?
