[fieldset=Quotable]"He has parts of [Scott] Niedermayer and one player he reminds me of is Drew Doughty," Oklahoma City coach Todd Nelson told NHL.com. "The NHL is a step higher, but I see him doing the same thing up there. Maybe not as explosive in his first year, but I see him contributing offensively. I see him playing a lot of minutes, just as he does here -- and he plays about 30 minutes a game, handles it well."-- Oklahoma City coach Todd Nelson talking about Justin Schultz in an interview with NHL.com[/fieldset]

Don't know why you bothered with the GDT BBO. It's not there will be anyone left to play or watch the game after the world ends.

Although, maybe zombie hockey is the way for the NHL to rebrand itself after the lockout.

Lines at practice....

Hamilton - Arcobello - Eberle

Paajarvi - Lander - Pitlick

Hope you don't mind me adding that picture, BBO.

I think it fits your theme fairly well.

This should be exciting... the end of the world I mean.

Ancient primative cultures are always right about these types of things, they had a better understanding of the universe than us modern idiots. Besides, can't disappoint everyone now, people have been looking forward to the end of the world for forever.

Come on man I'm trying to delay the end of the world by hoping to get whatever entities that are involved in it interested in the Barons and Oilers in the hopes that our lives are spared
If the world doesn't end tomorrow you owe me your life bro!

Ok so its 1 hour past when the world was suppose to end...Anyone else out there alive or am I the only one who made it? If it's the latter, then I really do owe it all to my lucky socks.

I survived as well. How do we solve the repopulating of the earth? I'm male, if you are too we might have a problem.

I made it too, I'm in Hawaii if there are females out there that made it come to Hawaii so that we can repopulate the earth. My wife shouldn't mind since I'm trying to be a hero and save the human race and all...... So much for that, me repopulating the Earth with women besides her is not on her agenda and here I was willing to save the human race with as many beautiful women as it would take

How about that Curtis Hamilton on the first line

If playing with Eberle and Schultz doesn't increase your production, I don't know what will.

He has been playing well though since being promoted. I think the biggest issue is his confidence. I see him too many times trying to set up Eberle rather than shoot or make a move, he is just forcing it and it's not working. He has the skills and I really think he can compliment that line well once he starts to gain confidence. Even right now he is a solid defensive presence out there.

Edit: On the actual game. If we can win this back-to-back here at home we can do a lot to help ourselves in the standings!

 

[Moonlapse Vertigo]

Hopefully, they don't fall apart in the 3rd period again. That's all I ask.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

IMO Eberle can actually be a tough linemate to play with at times because he looks to shoot more than he does to pass at least at the AHL level IMO. The 2nd line should be a good one, however I'm not sure how the 3rd line will do since Pitlick has been fighting it. Also I wish that they'd pick a wing for Paajarvi and stick with it instead of this back and forth BS.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

The Stars own the Barons just like the Aeros do. I'm not expecting a W.

How do you figure that? We've played them twice this year and we've won both games.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Hall is overdue for a hattie...gordie howe hattie...or original hattie....

 

[lakai17]

Curtis Hamilton is still an excellent project, give him time to develop. We need to start developing depth guys that provide a physical presence. This will be the youngest team overall come 3-6 years.

 

[Calamus]

anyone have a feed up yet?

I got nothing on the usual suspect's websites.

 

[Groucho]

"up shortly"

hmmm

doesn't seem to be up yet though

 

[eS7]

Pp started off good but then failed after the line change. We need RNH on the wall.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Teubert took a hard dump in attempt down low and was in lots of difficulty heading to the bench.

 

[eS7]

Eakin looked like he missed an easy goal there on the pp. That was close.
