Time for a little pregame walk, then celebrate with a friday drink.
Cook a few steaks and watch the other teams.

So Gogmagog is back from his injury, all of the players is available now. No more excuses for the coach and GM.
This is the team they built. Time to deliver.

Hopefully the boys aren't too stuffed after the meals yesterday. Fun fact, MN is the biggest Turkey producer in the nation. MacKinnon and co are probably going to be fresh to go off of their usual meals of Chickpeas and room temperature distilled water.

Survive an early push, get in their defensemen's faces and make them play off the boards, need to focus on taking proper angles in this game, Colorado can be contained and exploited for their aggression, but we will have to play smart.

Start with a good defensive game and the offense will break through, we have had lots of rest, get the rust out quickly and start this as a new season.

Tonights stuffed turkey keys to the game:

Keep them to the outside
Stay out of the box
Short shifts, don´t get caught flat footed

This is a fast team with excellent skaters, try to slow down the game and let the puck do the work. We can´t outskate them, let´s outsmart them.
Show me that leadership quality tonight, Foligno!

 

[57special]

We're getting our butts kicked.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

[Sweetnut]

Are we getting Hextalled tonight?

 

[Webster]

[NHL1674]

We're getting our butts kicked.

Good thing the last month or so of losses have prepared us for tonight.

 

[Sweetnut]

Drop the f***ing puck already!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Drop the f***ing puck already!

No shit

 

[Sweetnut]

I´m hearing RossiSaveUs howling in the crowd

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Now wait just a f***ing second. The MAF helmet debacle was based PURELY ON A GUY THAT WAS GOING TO BE ON THE ICE FOR WARM UPS ONLY? Ridiculous

 

[BagHead]

The national broadcasters are not pulling punches hey? In relation to their words about Gus's struggles. I'm not used to that after listening to so much of Lapanta and Walz.

 

[NHL1674]

The mask is beautiful. Knowing Bettman is probably seething right now makes it even more lovely.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

I liked that Kaprizov shift!

Bettman's NHL....nuff said.

I just assumed for as big of a deal the NHL made of it MAF was starting. Unreal

 

[Digitalbooya]

Boldy cutting to the middle there. I would like to see more of that.

Gus Bus big save!

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Kap looks energized so far

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Middleton is not having a good year.

 

[Sweetnut]

Is it just me, or do you think Kap skates better tonight?

 

[NHL1674]

Kap looks energized so far

He should be since he hasn't played yet this season.

I kid. I kid.
