GAME DAY THREAD MUSIC

"Somebody Get Me a Doctor" by Van Halen
​

Very appropriate song choice

 

[BiggE]

Right turn, Clyde

 

[TheKingPin]

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Ah a normal thread.

oh man, now you gone and done it..

expect to get meme'd to death now by Capn..

 

[TheKingPin]

Welp we went from 5th in the league to 5th in our division with 1 loss. Kind of crazy. I’d say we need to have this one and I think we will. Hopefully at least Myers and Lindblom can play. It’s good TK came on the trip with them.

I thought Patrick traveled with the team and TK was skating with Raffl in Voorhees today

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I thought Patrick traveled with the team and TK was skating with Raffl in Voorhees today

That is correct. It was said earlier this week that Konecny could join the team during this road trip.

Lindblom's update will probably be issued tomorrow.

 

[DancingPanther]

The time to be alive has passed us by

 

[Domino666]

That is correct. It was said earlier this week that Konecny could join the team during this road trip.

Lindblom's update will probably be issued tomorrow.

Thanks for the confirmation, I thought I read one of the beats tweets regarding their locations, hell I would have loved it if TK was with the team skating, that’s what I kind of hoping for when I read the post in here

 

[flyersnorth]

Hard to believe we're only 4 points ahead of 6th in the Metro.

Meanwhile, both the Sabres (2nd) and Habs (3rd) in the Atlantic have lost more games than they've won.

 

[dragonoffrost]

Which one do you think? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I know which one and ...

RIVALRIESSSSSSSSSS!

 

[TCTC]

Looking at the Wild record over the last 1-2 months, doesn't look like a team that's playing for a lottery pick.
Only 1 regulation loss at home this year so far. Won't be easy.

 

[Adtar02]

Which one do you think? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Ottawa. Too easy to make fun of a certain player

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Ottawa. Too easy to make fun of a certain player

No.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

How bout we... you know... beat them?
