[Lame Lambert]

Toros 1

What's worse the bruins and the panthers are next and they're both rather bad matchups. This could be the start of a 3+ game losing streak.

Florida has cooled off a bit, but they are definitely a tough match up.

I turned this into a train wreck of a GDT if MM wants a day off.

 

[MattMartin]

meh I forgot game was tonight. Will have everything done in a moment.

 

[Abe Vukota]

LOL.. I heard JT was going to the Rangers.

Only in your dreams, Bones.

This team with a lineup of no names almost brought down the Capitals. It's the NHL, never sit on a team.

You wanna just PM it to me and I'll update it?

Interesting to see who will play goalie here. Have to assume its Greiss, but if there is ever a game to toss your back up in, its against the TMLs.

Big trap game, this one. With parity in the league being what it is, it would be nice to see the Islanders step on the throat of one of the few teams that is clearly inferior to the rest of the league. Still, teams like this usually don't lack for effort so the Isles better show up.

So start Berube and if he isn't up to it, make the switch while we still are in the game with a chance. TO will give up a bunch of chances and we could come back from even 3 goals down, so hope we get a lead with Berube or he keeps it close enough before going to Griess, but go to him for a period or so if we have a shot.

Do you think we could maybe swap Tavares for the ghost of Rick Nash? Maybe we kick in a sweetener to get it done?

I would ask Bones. He's our board's official Rangers rep. But I don't think we'll get Nash's remains for a middling talent like JT. Now Jesper Fast, that's a guy I think we can land. Maybe add Mr. Third Pairing Travis Hamonic.

Autographed Brian strait jersey? That's pretty damn sweet.

Btw, this thread title says 7:30pm but I think the game is on at 7pm, right?

You think we could pull Fast for JT? I am not so sure. Maybe we ask for Fast but then settle for Tanner Glass. After all, Glass has already tripled his goal output from last season, that means he is trending up. Sounds like an advanced stats under-the-radar pickup IMHO. Broadway Jay, what do you think? JT for Glass? No brainer, right?

I probably ****ed it up

I was thinking a teal embossed, Gorton's fisherman Oleg Kvasha-signed jersey. Kick it old school. You have to give to get after all.

Going to close this one up with MM's GDT up. Lets talk the game talk over that way.
