Read the title too fast. I thought it said The End of Days.

Bring back Snow and Capuano

 

[xECK29x]

We clearly need to run this team as a business.

And by committee

Put up a billboard asking for scoring help. It worked once before.

Ha...so did i actually.

 

[majormet]

The end of Days I thought was when Mick Vukota got his hat trick, I expected a flood of Noah's Ark proportions after that

And an average PP. we just want to be average. That’s not too much to ask for is it?

And I recall...it was a natural hat trick. Out of Left Field, 3 goals just came like that, like he did it all the time.

Never cared for Nick. Average Fighter in a league full of tough guys. Played hard but surprised he was around as long as he was.

I find his hat trick to be the most unusual thing I have seen in any of the big 4 sports, he may have only scored 3 other goals in 600 games or so

Nanananana na na na nana na, nananananana, Miiiiick Vukota!!

The only Fritz, I have ever heard of was Fritz Lang of Metrolis fame. Until now. Fritz was somewhat useful today. He's not a total non factor. Infact he was good today.

Fritz the Cat. First animated X rated movie. 1972. Grossed like a $100,000,000. That was a lot of money back then.

Islanders also had Mitch Fritz a number of years back who had a cup of coffee with the team but was mostly an AHLer. Giant, Zdeno like guy.

I still find myself calling Tanner Mitch and then I confuse myself as to which one we currently have.

Fritz was good today though. This is the short term help he can provide. Long term he’ll get somewhat exposed but today he did what he had to do and did it well.

He’s basically a poor man’s Cizikas.

Are you old enough to remember Fritz Peterson when he pitched for the Yankees in the early 1970s?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I didn't know Fritz would cause such a buzz. The guy may need a nickname if he continues to contribute.

Fritz’s line was quality. Beau got a guy to skate with and Leo is dependable defensively for them

Yeah, the north south game really suits Beauvillier right now and Fritz just does the simple stuff. Not expecting many points, but he's done a nice job so far.

This is the reason why letting Filppula walk is not a big deal. Guys like him are dime a dozen and Fritz being younger and hungrier will make way for a better playoff run.

Oh and he did pretty damn good on the PK today.

Real life wife-swapper with Mike Kekich. Or is it a wife sweeper? (Still don't get the whole wife sweeper coach thing)

That’s the guy!

I think technically it was a life swap. The wives were part of the package deal.

[Or maybe it was a life sweep. Which is sort of an existential colon cleanse.]

Filp is a career NHLer, and a good one at that. Fritz is an AHLer. They are not the same. One decent game and suddenly you forget what Fillpula did for us this entire season? Guy has been the perfect third line center all season.
