Pre-Game Talk: The Eichel-unicycle vs McDavid-ice cream flaved

[Cloned]

Does that mean RNH is back on Sunday?

 

[Del Preston]

Can they win a Sunday home game?

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Isnt this one of those games where a "lucky" fan wins a trip to Buffalo?

 

[GodPucker]

Hmmmm. Kass and RNH on regular practise lines. Me like.

Lmao epic.

 

[brentashton]

when do we play nostrils?

He prefers to be called Cheeks!

Not sure how I feel about this. Who's the Neal placeholder? Neither Khaira or Gagner should come out of the lineup IMO. I'd take Nygard out a bit and see if we can get some cohesion and run:

29 - 97 - 44
89 - 93 - 18
16 - 91 - 39
60 - 23 - 15

Thought PRussell was a decent plug in and he was getting chances practically every game. The Granlund/Haas/PRussell line was looking pretty good for essentially a castaway line. I understand the desire to put together a checking/suppression unit with Granlund and Sheahan together though. Hopefully once they get healthier we can find some cohesive bottom-6 pairings.

Hopefully the zombie is back. IIRC Neal plays LW, so Khaira will likely be moved down:
Draisaitl-McDavid-Kassian
Neal-RNH-Gagner
Khaira-Haas-Chiasson
Nygard-Sheahan-Archibald

Sure hope so. Baby Nuge has been missed real bad.

My favorite flavor is FRIG WOO

Edit: I was tripping balls when I wrote the title. Just go with it. I feel like butter melting on a big stack of flapjacks right now.

Proceed...

Hahaha I was going to listen to your pregame tunes but it's an hour and 20 min interview.

 

[snipes]

Just win baby.

Nope

 

[SwedishFire]

Is it like the 20th time to try the Nygård Haas Chiasson line to click? Tippet really seems to have a need for that group to play together.

Gagner is either a top 6 player or out. What a odd kind of a player.

 

[SwedishFire]

Need to string a couple of wins together here. Kassian is supposed to be back and hopefully Nuge as well. These 2 injuries in particular have taken a toll on our play, effort and W/L ratio of late. Hopefully getting healthy bodies back corrects that.

Who could imagine Nuge and Kassian being the most iportant integrals of a team with McDavid, and Draisaitl?

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Who could imagine Nuge and Kassian being the most iportant integrals of a team other than McDavid, and Draisaitl?

Fixed that for you. Believe it or not, Koskinen is the 3rd best player on the team. If one of those 3 goes down there will be chaos.

never forget Gags is a hockey legend buds

• 8 point night
• "The Gagner" Shootout Move

• 8 point night
• "The Gagner" Shootout Move

And so close to 1000 NHL games
That also rounds out the oddity of Sam Gagner.
The other year, 8 point, or top two in the leauge in points per /60 min.
The other year down to AHL.

Everytime i see that clip, i always wonder what the hell Gord Miller was thinking when the first words out of his mouth on Gagner's 8th point of the night are..."Oh no".

It's a lecture. And you should still listen to it.

Could parody Iron Maiden's "Can I Play With Madness" with that

"CAN I PLAY WITH NOSTRILS!!!"
