So, the Captain made the trip...any word on whether it was just to visit with Fleury, Nate and Phil or is he going to lace em up?

 

[Gurglesons]

Sid playing tonight would be so rad.

 

[K Fleur]

A Yinzer Jesus game.

“What an emotional night”.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Incoming Mears factoid moments all game long about Fleury...

Sid playing tonight would be so rad.

Is this a possibility?

 

[RSPens]

Is this a possibility?

He made the road trip with the team, but when you look at the list of teams they are playing, it's possible he made the trip because of laughs with Fleury, Hometown talk with Nate and a hot dog date with Phil.

[RSPens]

Well...here's hoping for Friday then.

 

[Andy99]

This lineup is going to lose to the Knights...are you kidding me? I predict we keep losing until Sid returns, so let’s hope that’s Friday night...Tuch, Stone and Reaves will make mincemeat of us...

f***ING 10 PM!?! Damn dood... that f***ing sucks.

Also I hate Galchenyak on the 4th line. I want a Tanev clone on that line.
IMO, I don't like 18 anywhere out there. Who would be in his position if he were scratched... or more realistically if he was injured because he will never be a scratch.

that’s a great show...really funny, even for Canadians...

this may be miles better than the one against Cats, mean 4th line...we need some size, Agozzino could provide, you may be surprised tonight...I am more worried about our first line, are they out of gas, big question...also Tanger, I think this is where we see why Sully is a good coach, he will find the ways to get Good Tanger back again

 

[vodeni]

I just have a hunch...this would be his last start in a while...

Move to the West Coast where the game is a 7PM start. Normally that would be a Pens game home start, but that's a 4PM start here. Watching games at 7PM is...weird.

Why? He’s the best in the league at the moment.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Tom,

[K Fleur]

Jarry vs Fleury. Yinzers might spontaneously combust tonight.

I wouldn't move to oregon / california unless I was a richer.
If I had no choice but to move out west I'd pick Vancouver / Seattle. I always wanted to visit vancouver it looks so damn beautiful and I absolutely loved canada when I went to Toronto. Cleanest city I have ever been to and the womens are mighty gorgeous. (big ups to whisey a go-go)

Luckily I was at my families watching the football games and missing the florida game.

Good thing from what I read here. I was going to watch the replay but saw all the comments and decided against.

 

[Andy99]

I just have a hunch...this would be his last start in a while...

I mean if you see him get shellacked by the Knights, maybe...otherwise I think he’ll play at Arizona because he shut them out when they played in Pittsburgh...Murray did well against the Avs so he could play Friday...I think either Jarry starts all three games this week or Matt plays Friday and they platoon

 

[Andy99]

Jarry vs Fleury. Yinzers might spontaneously combust tonight.

there will certainly be a lot of acrobatics...
