Checkers IV: Insert Witty Title Here

[NotOpie]

From everything I've observed, Saarela has an NHL shot.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I think Jurco is Crash Davis and Necas is Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh. Once Necas comes up, the big club will make a change, and Jurco's contract will be bought out. I bet he'd make a fine minor-league manager someday.

"Get a goal, Jurco."

"Shut up."

Bean is f***ing impressive. I would be shocked if Adam Fox is better.

 

[HisIceness]

Another game another victory.

We got some tough decisions to make this offseason with our defense.

That we should have made last season.

Not really. Sell Faulk and Fleury

Slavin - Hamilton
CDH - Pesce
Bean - TVR/Fox

Bean and Fox would be a recipe for disaster.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Wonder if they suspected this when they went out and got Jurco.

 

[CandyCanes]

He's producing again, but he's back playing wing supposedly, which I'm okay with.

I wouldn't exactly call it wing. On the goal he carried the puck through the center of the ice--twice. The first time he received it well inside the blue line and the defense set up a roadblock so he circled back and passed to a Checkers d-man . The puck went back to Necas almost immediately. He used his speed to carry it 120 feet made a pass to Jurco who immediately returned it to Necas in front of the net for a tip. Necas used his skating to get through all five defenders.
Basically on offense Necas is the puck-carrier. On defense and draws Brown is playing the center role. It is working really well.

 

[HisIceness]

Another victory has been achieved!

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Aw man. Now I want wings.

 

[DaveG]

Aw man. Now I want wings.

seriously though, you get their wings hot or extra hot, well done, you're talking the perfect wing IMO.

It is a common misconception that the city of Buffalo was named after the animal. It is actually an English corruption of the French term for "Beautiful River" as the city is located on the Niagara River. Also the Anchor Bar is a tourist trap, you can find far better wings in most taverns in the city.

Can confirm.

Seriously though Buffalo Bros has REALLY good wings if you get them well done.

Another game another victory.

Checkers beat the Sabres' AHL team on the same night the Canes beat the parent team. Gauthier scored his 19th on a center-ice steal and breakaway, unassisted, to open the scoring.

Funny bit from the box score. Evidently, William Borgen got under Clark Bishop's skin last night, as they scuffled at the end of the first *and* second periods, with Bishop getting the extra minor each time. Alexei Saarela served both penalties for Bishop. Somebody owes somebody a smoothie.

Saarela scored his 22nd on the power play in the third period to put it away.

Both GOAT and Saarela seem to be proving some things this season in Charlotte. Saarela has stepped up w/Kuokkanen's injury (surgery upcoming; out for the season) and Gauthier seems to continue to improve w/age.

I missed what happened with Kuokanen...any details?

I don’t believe they’ve disclosed what the injury is or how it happened. He will be having surgery in two weeks that will take him out for the remainder of the season.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

The Checkers have two big games coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday against the current "kings of the north," Syracuse. Two game sweep would go a long way to assuring home ice throughout the playoffs.

I'm guessing calf implants. Ladies love a nice calf I hear.

That's why I slaughter one before every date.
