Confirmed with Link: Aaron Dell PTO

[Lempo]

Used to love how Forslund said his name all in one go like a character from the lord of the rings or the hobbit

It's a little known fact that Tolkien's editor made him cut off character Bradyshay from his early draft.

"It's a stupid name for Hobbit, and we ain't gonna have a Brad in the party anyway."

Imagine trying to cast a mere mortal to play Bradyshay in a live action film. He was thinking ahead.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

As long as he only gets shots from guys like Joe Thornton, we should be ok.

 

[Derailed75]

Andersen was already injury prone before this blood clot complication. They should be pushing to be ready to replace him with another goalie regardless of whether he comes back fine from this.

Not in season though, its cost prohibited

Um... let's just say that me and my fellow Finns are *very* accepting with LoTR casting choices and leave it at that.

I need to a hug a kitten or puppy after seeing this.

 

[Svechhammer]

But will Mike refer to him by his full name every time like he’s actually trying to recover a Silmaril?

It's wintertime and Disney on Ice was just at the arena last week

He better call him Arendelle every chance he gets

Dude is barely a capable AHL backup goalie...I'd rather give Halak a chance. Hell we could probably get Dreiger @ 50% for free

I agree they can probably get Driedger cheap eventually (I'd be willing to not take retention for cheaper and sending Raanta back), but not until Grubauer is healthy.

Even if the team gets “hot”, Goalkeeping going to impact our ability to maximize points until Freddie or another quality goalie comes on board.

At present, just looking to obtain a playoff spot is my thought process. Division win is probably toast.

Yeah but sadly our other options are worse than that, and they'll roll the dice here for a month without giving up assets in hopes Freddie comes back. Worst case, it buys us time to make a trade without being super desperate

Division win probably is not happening but that’s more because the rangers are on fire than anything else

Silmarillion, actually. All in one go it's pronounced pretty much exactly like Eärendil, the half elven father of both Elros and Elrond. They were given a choice between the elvish life and the human one, Elros opted to be human, and began the line of Numenorian kings that culminated in Aragon. Elrond, of course, went elf and is immortal. Eärendil himself approached the gods and pled for their assistance in saving the world and they agreed, but he wasn't supposed to every set foot on their island so they made him sail around the sky holding the morning and evening star for the rest of time.

Eärendil is a pretty significant figure in the Tolkein lore and I will never not find "AaronDell" hilarious.

Hmm . . . is cptjeff really a Stephen Colbert burner acount?

I’ve jokingly been called nerdy in an endearing way by girls I’ve dated in the past. I’m just guilty of enjoying sci-fi and fantasy type tv shows. It makes me wonder what they think of actual nerds like @cptjeff
Maybe that’s why I’m still single!?

Well if he gets signed and plays, someone's going to have to get an "Eärendil" jersey.

Actually I think that with quality keeping we would be near them right now plus have a great shot to catch them now of Freddie/PK were in place.

Re rangers: with Kappo Chyrtl out they have been beatable. Their fans have also crabbed that their goaltending has not been stellar lately.

Oh I def concur I was just making a lighthearted dig at my own perpetual “singleness”

My wife is not a nerd in any sense of the word and on our second date, we went to this seafood restaurant that used paper tablecloths and they left crayons on the table that kids (and adults) would use to draw on the tables. She asked me what I did for a living and I proceeded to draw out the device design of a semiconductor and try to explain to her how it was made and how it worked.

What's worse is that it took me probably 10 minutes to realize how much of a nerd I was being on only our 2nd date.

Now you spoilt it.

I mean, back in early 00's when first of the movies had been out for a while, someone wrote a piece in our university rag about how the writer and their friends were hanging out at the uni, and then someone asked how did the movie end, and no one really could remember. So they asked a guy walking by, "hey, how did Lord of the Rings end?"

"Gollum dropped into Mt. Doom with the One Ring."
