Al must get his news from twitter if he thinks anyone's talking about Taylor f***ing Hall for mvp.

Just watched that bobby lu speech. Wow

Ya it was real good

 

[Qyburn]

This is the first time that I have been even a little excited about our goaltending potential in as long as I can remember. I drank a lot of vodka in the early 90s, so I don't remember much, but still. This could be a game changer. (Not based off just this game, I have liked Mrazek for a long time.)

I'm high on this winning streak too, but I'd be remissed if I didn't try to calm you down.

The goalie situation is awful. Could it be that you're confusing it with all the heart the locker room has been able to cobble together in recent weeks? Because that's a definite factor.

This one?

Then I will utilize my team of law professionals and PR flacks to extract the positives that have become commonly renowned with the successful play of the GDT photos.

We could write a strongly worded letter.

So genuine and from the heart. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard that much raw emotion from a athlete.

 

[BillDineen]

So it looks like an injury saved Hextall again. Lindblom looks to be staying. Just need Manning out longer and Sanheim can be freed from Haks' irrationality.

I don't need to be calmed down and I am not confused. I like Mrazek and have wanted him here since the offseason because I see him as potentially a clear upgrade over what we have had in years. My excitement is in direct inverse proportion to my apathy over everyone we have had back there in recent memory.

 

[Qyburn]

Roberto Luongo has retired I take it.

Just makes me sad for the Islanders again. Poor, poor Isles.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Just getting home from work, I had the radio on, Good to see we won a game 2-1 instead of 6-5, sounds like defense was better, nice to see us win a game with TK out.

I guess mzarek was good? I didn't see crap.

Oh, did Luongo retire? I didn't see that before.

That's the Flyer fan goalie experience alright.

We could write a strongly worded letter.

Here's an oldie but a goodie: "I was yelling at them to play hockey. They had too many breakaways on me. I was not frustrated. But I played 100 percent. I can't score goals. I can't do anything more than I was doing. I wanted them to play," Roman Cechmanek.

He didn't have a ton to do, and there was nothing he could have done on their goal (aside from banging his stick to let the Farmer know that he should pay attention to what was going on around him), but he was moving well - he was especially quick from side to side, like a jungle kitty.

Most importantly, he got the robe

Barzal is insane, he will be a superstar

Konecny will be his equal. Save this post for posterity.

 

[AaronTrieu]

Woah caps lost in regulation. One point back from the division leader with 21 to go. Gonna be an epic finish to the season.

 

[DirkStarlight]

Was at the game. Was booing putting out 4th line after the goal against and guy next to me said he liked weise and torgo... We didnt speak to each other the rest of the game. I thought TORGO was supposed to be out too! Was very disappointed.

Patrick... My God what an improvement from the beginning of the season. That surgery is no joke it seems.

Mrazrk looked great. A goalie who can
play the Puck... Legitimatly excited to see what else he can do. Next game I'm going to against Carolina. LGF!

To the poster in the OT thread who wanted to quit smoking....print this and stick it in your wallet.
Everytime you go to pay for a pack of smokes you'll think twice

If there are any posters who are trying to stop smoking crack, I would urge you to do the same.

Wasn't able to watch the game tonight.

Give me the quick rundown.

Manning hurt?

Do Giroux/Ghost deserve Hart/Norris?

4TH IS SO BAD ITS ****ING UNREAL. and your right about NP too!

Manning's injury was to his wrist but nothing more has been said.

Mrazek was admirable. Giroux looked like a member of the Justice League.

Looked like the dog hurt his shoulder - he was cradling his right front paw under his muzzle as he struggled to leave the ice.

As to your second question: yes, without a doubt they should be in the conversation.

Manning looked like a shoulder issue. I think it may have been suffered non-contact style, which seems like bad news for him. But it may be some recurring / lingering thing too.
