I hope Kas gets into this one a lil.

I hope Kas gets into this one a lil.

I’ll never get tired of that stare lol. Hopefully Kass brings some of that playoff intensity to this one we saw against the Sharks a couple of years ago

This was a great moment, it's funny how much younger Kassian looks in this pic.

[Coffey]

hahahaahah Let us never forget Joe's brother

 

[LMFAO]

Wheres Benson tho

If he could send Logan Couture flying that would be glorious. I sure hope we rough that goof up a lot. He always scores on us and I'm sick of it!

Pissed away 2 in Arizona. Don't dare repeat that tonight. Can't underestimate anything. Doesn't matter who's out for them, what matters is our team collectively being all in.

Excited to potentially see Benson tonight.

Also 7:30 puck drop apparently just as FYI, little bit of a later start.

 

[PinSeeker]

Do not want to see Smith in the pipes. Need Koskinen in there, flat out better goaltender.

Yes, more Benson less Khaira please.

I mean one goalie is 6-0 in his last six games and the other is 2-4. One is doing much better based on actual results right now so it'd be pretty tough to argue he's "flat out" better. Smith in a zone is tough to stop but Koskinen did have a decent game vs Arizona. Seems Koski does burn out if he plays too much though. I'd lean with them starting Smith this game

 

[ohheyhemsky]

I'll never not give this a like. I've never seen someone so jazzed for a McFlurry. On top of that, does San Jose have a McDonald's in the arena or did he sneak it in? He also looks like a movie perfect version of the druggy brother of the more loved, successful sibling. There's lots to unpack.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Nice little bonus that Jumbo got his 1500th point out of the way against the Lames.

 

[ElysiumAB]

There's lots to unpack.

One of my favorite parts is how he flips the spoon over so all of that goodness lands square on his tongue, then he just slowly drags it out and over those taste buds with zero regard for any type of cold or brain freeze.

I'd pay real money to know what flavor that was, and I'd get one for Hockey Day in Canada (already ordered the All Dressed chips).

Here's my argument, it's not tough to argue at all:

Well lucky for us he isn’t playing tonight, still out with an ankle injury I’m pretty sure. So unless Kassian goes up to the press box and powerbombs him through a table WWE style we might not see that. Not that I’d be opposed to seeing that either

 

[KlefDown]

lets go oilers

Oh well that's good!

[Oil Dood]

Gotta come out with an effort here, Arizona was the only free pass for now.

 

[ujju2]

I like the looks of that line. I'd like it more if Neal was in Chiasson's place, but it's fine.

Gold.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Neal not ready yet it seems. Needed to move Kassian to 3rd line to give it some more speed.

When he is Khaira is next man sitting it appears. I hope Benson impresses and earns Tippetts trust and gets bumped up to McDavids line.

Like that Lagesson is getting another shot. They need to see what he can do at the NHL level.

 

[KlefDown]

this is what I feared about the Kass contract.
him on the third line @3.5 is a no no
