Dermott is in tonight with Kulak according to Rishaug
You kinda have to wonder how shit Tyson Barrie's game is these days that he couldn't even get a PTO here.

Heck, it was hard as a fan to watch the last two episodes of the FACEOFF series. I consider myself to be the type of fan who doesn't get too emotionally invested in sports, but even I was close to choking up watching that. Can't imagine how the players and staff feel.Every game to start the year takes forever, this one will just be that much longer with the banner going up and their highlight video.
Although it's funny the guys don't even want to talk about last year anymore, so why make them watch it lol.
If Knobs when asked about the prime series said his wife and daughter started and turned it off as it was too early for them to watch it. So I can imagine just how much the players and coaching staff want to see this shit
wow I completely forgot they are raising a conference banner lol. Remember what Lowe did last time in 2006. He made the team stay in the locker room while it was raised.
They did. Kevin Lowe told the team to stay in the locker room. He said we didn't win the ultimate goal so don't give a sh** about this banner raising.
I mean game is at 8pm, puck drop is usually 15 minutes later on a normal night. You can’t see it taking another 30minutes?There is zero chance this will be an hour long ceremony. Half an hour tops, including player intros.
There’s nothing more this coaching staff hates more than Troy Stetcher lol
I feel Dermott is gonna play, but I guess we will find out later today.

None of what you just said makes any sense...Wonder which geniuses in the front office thought this would be a good idea. Ultimately in the biggest moment, the best players did not rise to the occasion and the team fell flat when it mattered. The third line guys demonstrated the most heart, desire and compete but they weren't enough.
I'll hope for a simple banner raising with no additional adornment or fawning.. but making a spectacle of the conference win is just so typically on brand for this organization, with its constant self-fellating and attempts to revel in its faded glory. McDavid said it himself, let them move on and start fresh. Probably looking at an additional 30 minutes of cringe and lameness, which may well sit in the back of the mind for these guys and they start flat once again.
I just don't get it. The guy is dynamic, can carry puck out and actually be a threat, was good through preseason and again parked.I mean game is at 8pm, puck drop is usually 15 minutes later on a normal night. You can’t see it taking another 30minutes?

Somebody is dumb because they have a differing opinion? C'mon guys, doesn't need to be infighting over something as nebulous as will they raise the banner.You're dumb if you think that a tribute to a Conference Championship is "self-fellating."
Find me one other team that wouldn't do this. "Reveling in faded glory." We just won the Conference last season for f*** sakes.
I was excited yesterday and now todays grey skies, cold and rain is kind of pissing over everything. Anybody catch the 95k winds yesterday? Man that kicked up suddenly. Hope the Oilers are as fast as that tonight.I should be more excited than I am.... Stanley cup game 7 hangover?
I was at the opener in the 06-07 season, and they didn't even raise it. There was a tribute video to the run that lasted a few minutes, then they removed a cover exposing the banner that was already raised. I expect it will likely be something similar this year. Whole thing probably only took 5ish minutes.

Next time I go to a concert I'm going to fight somebody over whether the opening stage lights will be red or blue. kidding
The poster is a longstanding STH who just sounds frustrated. We all have our different takes at different times.
I don't have a horse in the race and I'm fine either way. I just note that its reactions. Like you're having. Thats all. Don't see the need to call others stupid over this.Winning the Conference. Having your team be the Cup favourite. How horrible and frustrating.
I'm sorry, but some things are objectively stupid, and moaning about a Conference Championship banner is one of them. If the ceremony is over the top, whine then. Crying about it now is immature and ridiculous.
Fans of A LOT of other franchises would be proud of this. The Conference Championship isn't the goal, and nobody is blind to that. I don't want this to be the banner we raise either. But to describe it as "self-fellating" and "reveling in faded glory" is stupid.
Hopefully they're actually prepared to start. Connor Brown gets it, but it's not the 3rd line guys who have issues showing up. Looking for Emberson to be quietly solid stapled to Nurse. Poor Kulak will likely end up having to deal with a revolving door of partners.
Oh f*** me.According to a Jets media member Coghlan is starting for the Jets.
Oh f*** me.

Oh okay, that's less concerning.Haha I read that wrong. He’s a defenceman lol
