[Bub]

but seriously he might be a decent 3rd line forward

True. It'll be a tough last month of the season (wins-wise) but it'll be interesting to see some new names.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Hanifin gave up at the end.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

 

[AD Skinner]

Man would've been cool for the canes to win this first post staal game

 

[spockBokk]

I can see Nash being held out as maybe an injury, but Versteeg? Why not scratch him from the outset and call up Checkers??? I surely haven't seen any indication during this game of a Versteeg injury. To handicap the team by 1, maybe 2 forwards during a game, on top of the Staal trade, seems like piss-poor planning on GMRF's part...

 

[Bub]

Right, a whole 1/2 game with 9 forwards? Maybe everyone's got the blue flu?

 

[Stickpucker]

Ronnie Franchise the visionary

Might have just received an offer for Versteeg he liked.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Power play coming up

Can we decline it?

Meh. These things happen fast the closer you get

True, but if the intent all along was to trade him, just scratch him. I just find it poor form to pull a guy in the middle of a game, especially when the team is already short-handed.

 

[Bub]

And....now Gerbe may be hurt.

 

[Novacane]

Hard to believe this is Jeff's 400th game

 

[Wolfpuck]

He's on the power play

The Checkers are in Manitoba. They would have needed to have held guys back from that trip a few days ago.

 

[HisIceness]

Good ole useless power play.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

its tim gleason

he is an apache helicopter

 

[Brock Anton]

aho and saarela

finnish hot tubs

 

[Wolfpuck]

This is basically a lame duck game, and it shows.

4-2

 

[Brock Anton]

that's that

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

so yeah time to make those draft picks as high as possible now

only a little concerned about what this does for morale, first time in years this team was playing with actual confidence that they can win games lol

 

[TheOllieC]

Hmmm he is probably better than Haydn Fleury

 

[Brock Anton]

lol that was fairly pathetic

 

[Joe McGrath]

Remember when people were so impressed how they played without Faulk. How's that working out now?

 

[Wolfpuck]

No goalie interference? Whatever
