I’m so sick of the f***ing Islanders.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

At least we will have a true #2C in this one and not some ****ing canine miasma. Also excited to see Felix again. And the Cannon is back. And ****ing Andreoff.

GDT Song:
"Hello Again" by The Cars

​

MSE, was thinking about you today. On Mad Dog Unleashed, SiriusXM 82 Christopher Russo, played a song from the cars and I can't remember which one.

 

[FLYguy3911]

We’re getting a Sanheim-Hagg pairing aren’t we?

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I wonder if JJ is doing the game or will they use the MSG feed with it being a road game

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

MSE, was thinking about you today. On Mad Dog Unleashed, SiriusXM 82 Christopher Russo, played a song from the cars and I can't remember which one.

How did it go? The tributes have been even larger than I imagined. Coming from all angles.

 

[Magua]

We’re getting a Sanheim-Hagg pairing aren’t we?

AV really likes his LHD-RHD pairings, and Hagg can play both hands equally.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I wonder if JJ is doing the game or will they use the MSG feed with it being a road game

I'll try to find the answer.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

How did it go? The tributes have been even larger than I imagined. Coming from all angles.

I literally have tried to play the on demand episode on Sirius xm app but they edit it, with no commercials no luck.

But it's not your typical song on radio.

Since your gone is closest

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Since You're Gone is a song from Shake It Up. If it is another song, try to recall a line and I'll get it.

 

[CapnZin]

We got a lot of meat bags playing in this one. Should be fun to watch

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

The first post has been updated with possible lines and pairings. There are some adjustments that have yet to be disclosed.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Ok, first rule, don't suck.

 

[TheKingPin]

At least our best two goalies are playing. This looks to be a low scoring game.

 

[Striiker]

Preseason games always suck, but I'm just getting more and more excited for the real games to start.

There's so many story-lines to follow and question marks to figure out. I have a lot of faith in these players and this roster, so I'm expecting good things.

 

[Magua]

Dear Morquan Frost’s Groin,

I hope you feel better tomorrow and aren’t as soft and tender as Morquan’s game. If you are a little soft and tender, just remember: if Travo Sandheim is on the ice with you, you are not alone.


Your friend,
Mag Roy

 

[DancingPanther]

It all comes down to this

 

[gertbfrobe16]

I wonder if JJ is doing the game or will they use the MSG feed with it being a road game

i think in the past, they had our announcers call games, but they were in the studio in philly.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

If these are the top two pairings

9 Ivan Provorov - 15 Matt Niskanen
53 Shayne Gostisbehere - 61 Justin Braun

then why aren't Myers and Sanheim playing together?

I am already worried about Robert f***ing Hagg on the 3rd pairing instead of Myers.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Lines will be known later today...

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I did not know Cal O'Reilly was in the organization. I always thought he would be a good 4th liner. Looks like that never really panned out. Perhaps the 13th forward spot is between him and Gabriel?

 

[dragonoffrost]

When you thought we weren't going to be icing scrubs anymore then you see this wonderful roster.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

I did not know Cal O'Reilly was in the organization. I always thought he would be a good 4th liner. Looks like that never really panned out. Perhaps the 13th forward spot is between him and Gabriel?

O'Reilly is projected to the Phantoms at this stage, or so I sense.
