News Article: News and Note XXVIII: The Jerky Boys

She shouldn't have been so vocal... about Foegele. Poor gal.

I also hear she's also a big fan of Skittles and man purses.

The good news is the team shouldn't have to rely on speculation or potential hot takes. They should have a good idea of his health and any effect it might have played on his play and production.

Roll him onto the wing for a few shifts and let Turbo man the pivot on that line. Easier to accomplish at home obviously.

From Sara Civ's latest article:

The belief Brind’Amour has in his group and the fight the players muster in return have been the difference between complacency with that and a forced Game 7 against the defending Stanley Cup champions.

“I would run through hot coals for that guy,” said Jordan Martinook, who played through some sort of obvious leg injury. “He’s an unbelievable coach that I want to play as hard as I can for. I think everyone in here knows how much he cares about us. You can’t say enough about him.”

...

"You gotta have that attitude. You gotta have that swagger,” Staal told The Athletic. “You have got to have that belief in the group that you’re going to find a way. Tonight’s no different. When you’re down a goal against a good team that plays defense, you’ve gotta stick with it. This group has been resilient. We’re going to find a way to do it on the road.”

I love the mentality that RBA is instilling into the players, and I really love that the players are buying into it so heavily.

Random... who do I need to get in contact with to get a "Future Jerk" shirt for my preggo wife. Bonus points if it's maternity.

We get it. You had sex with your wife. Show off.

That does not necessarily follow...

It just sounds to me like someone isn't taking bunch of jerks seriously enough.

Tweet at the team and at Dundon. I bet you can get 'em to make one.

Pretty awesome stuff

 

[Wolfpuck]

The Slavins are single-handedly saving the universe with their wholesomeness.

 

[brian_griffin]

Even some cumdumpster busted ex-pornstar Caps fan put out Instagram stories crying about him.

Luke DeCock seems to believe Aho is just under performing and isn't injured.

It is not every man who gets a cumdumpster busted ex-pornstar all excited, from a distance.

Reading these posts, I'm surprised the HFboards profanity filter didn't flag "Caps fan".

Separate but related, may I petition to be an honorary Jerk for the next 6 weeks or so until ~June 10th? If my application is accepted, do I need to indicate my temporary affiliation somehow in my user profile? (This is a serious request.)

 

[DaveG]

Nah, you good. You're in. Hell sabremike posts over here and we're more than good with it.

 

[Canes]

So now we know what those personal days Slavin got off were most likely about. Adoption is a long, difficult process, but good for the Slavin family. Jaccob will truly be World's #1 Dad.

Right?!?.... and that guy roots for satan's team.

All that trouble with the liking business, and he just shrug that off. We're armless with him. Bunch of torsos.

Luke DeCock is man's name and not a profanity.

It's actually a funny coincidence, but the Finnish word for 'look (imperative)' is "katso", which is pronounced exactly like the Italian word with somewhat similar written form.

If you guys ever are planning to bail out @Incubajerks and I, this matter of serious density will be taken up again.

I can confirm this thing:

GAME 3 HYPE!

 

[MinJaBen]

Not entirely sure the best location for this, so I’m dropping it here. I was listening to the NHL radio this morning on XM and they were talking about the Canes prospects of going deep in the playoffs and the panel of guys they had thought it would be very difficult due to the injuries we’ve already had and the guys that were playing injured. One of the panel members said he knew of four guys that had significant injuries and would probably need off season surgery. He even compared at least one guy to Hyman from Toronto, but said he wouldn’t name names until after our season was over.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I hope we don’t have a letdown season next year like we did after the cup when Stillman and Kaberle had surgery.

But I won’t worry about that for now.

If guys that are injured don't wait until almost training camp to get taken care of, we will be much less likely to.

IIRC, Stillman got his relatively early but Kaberle waited til camp.

August 19. Still rather late

Aho's knee is as busted as Hyman's I'm guessing

So if he has to get knee surgery, he'll likely be out for the start of next season

Guess that means we have to win the Cup now
