I actually thought I had some decent ones. I don't even understand what the winning one is?

Bricky can you ask them if a blind money is running their account? I don't want to get blocked.

I'm just giving you a hard time, you did have some good ones tonight, and most nights

Also, in listening to Roy's press conference after, he said he may be second guessing himself about not calling up another forward because he thinks the team was tired in the 3rd. At least, I think that's what he said.

He should be second guessing himself. Stollery is barely an AHL player, he has no business being up in the NHL.

Yup, Dressing a 7th Defenseman for 2:06 is pointless, call up Carey or Sgarbossa/Aggozino/Olver and give them regular 4th line minutes.

No one has a ****ing clue. They came on the ice voluntarily if you ask me.

The phrase to "put on ice" can usually mean to defeat someone/something. I've heard/seen it used before...it might stem from morgues "putting the dead body on ice", which in reality usually means putting them in a freezer.

I literally can't think of one instance where I saw him in this game. Without looking it up, I would say he didn't play.

He took a few shifts instead of Johnson/Hejda on that pair in the 1st period.
Didn't touch the ice after that I think.

McGinn should be kept on a line with Duchene and O'Reilly. Parenteau should be on his own line with MacKinnon and Talbot when they're all healthy (if that ever happens). McGinn, unlike Downie, who had a tendency to overhandle the puck, understands his role on that line and does it well.

And if this team ever gets healthy, I'd love for them to swap Mitchell with a defenseman, but that'll never happen.

I have a sickly feeling that Roy loves Mitchell and we're going to sign him to an extension anywhere from 2-2.5 million over a 3 year deal in the off-season.

Anaheim might have something to say about that

Anaheim has been playing really well lately, but I don't think they are going to level off at the way they are playing right now they are on an 8 game win streak, I think the blues are about where we should expect to see from them.

LOL Varlamov is being way to modest by saying the defense in front of him helped him alot for the success he's having this season.

Who are u kidding Varly

Add about 20 more "borings" and you've pretty much got it.
