Don’t forget, regardless of the lines to start, McDrai will make an ugly appearance

Nope. They will stick with my lines come hell or high water. Throw the earpiece to DT away…

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Whatever, go Columbus I guess.

 

[BlackDogg]

That is some shitty lines

 

[McDNicks17]

 

[McDrai]

I'll pass thanks.

Why cheer for Columbus?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

That is some shitty lines

my lines are less shitty

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Why cheer for Columbus?

Because the teams I cheer for tend to lose. But I don’t really care who wins this game. Hopelessness has already set in.

 

[yukoner88]

Glad to see I'm not the only one getting into the spirit

 

[NedPlimpton]

big win incoming. Let's go, baby!

 

[Bryanbryoil]

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that we'd give up the first goal of the game, that our PP will suck but Barrie and Nurse will be there like clockwork on PP1 while Bouchard doesn't get a sniff there and that we'll be lucky to score 2 goals.

I like your optimism but in looking at the lines how can they play Yams in that spot when he doesn't have a shot in 3 full games? At some point even the most ardent supporter says we need a change.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Team sucks. I'll check the boxscores and save my mood instead.

Benson in topsix is pretty damn shitty. jmo.

To quote Martin Goodman. RIP "Shit on it"

But what a tire fire. Pretenders on every line. Foegele on top line, Yama, possibly Benson on 2nd line, two other lines of posers.

Wasn't it no shots in the last 6 games?

Right now I'd take Benson over Yams.

What's wrong with Foegele? The guy has been expected to produce while sheltering a rookie and drag around Kassian's sad panda ass.

Yamamoto has lost his way. Not sure why Holland figured that he didn't need a 2RW after Yamo's performance last season.

I was in the middle of a rant. I like Foegele, if he ever scored a goal I'd like him more. Now Sceviour has tied him at 1 goal. Benson still an NHL virgin. Shit on it!

Edit, in case anybody wondering why I'm saying "Shit on it" a lot. This is a classic British comedy program.

I think its a case of overestimating the talent that you have on hand. All teams do it to some extent. I also think that Yams is well liked on the team and is seen as pretty brave for taking on guys who are so much bigger so gets the extra nod.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Can neither be an option..

They're both confirmed friggen useless.

of course last night the broadcast spots one hit Benson made and make it the hit of the night, Nemo's half a dozen better hits be damned. Anything to prop up Benson to the fanbase. "oh look we have prospect talent"

That's on the coaching staff and management IMO.

I respect the player, but he is miscast right now and needs to have less pressure on him and be in the bottom 6.
