Giroux looks good in this promo, hopefully it was shot this week and means he will be back this weekend.

Man, I hate non-Bon Scott AC/DC. I don’t know. Giroux’s vertical wasn’t real impressive. Could be a lingering hamstring issue.

I prefer Bon Scott AC/DC too, but I don't mind Brian Johnson.
He was a suitable replacement. Just some things I’ve heard enough to last me a lifetime. Side one of Sabbath’s Paranoid, nearly all of Zeppelin IV, Dark Side of the Moon etc and I was never a big AC/DC fan to begin with but Bon Scott was kind of undeniably badass.

I must compliment your taste in music! Love Sabbath, especially Sabotage. Pink Floyd my favourite, Dark Side of the Moon and Animals. Led Zeppelin classic! You're my new friend.

3rd game in a row tomorrow night is sure to be chippy.

Hopefully we can snag another.

Yeah. I was thinking it might be appropriate they’re wearing Generals jerseys. Cavallin’s 3rd shutout. Pretty impressive game by quite a few kids.

Flint's schedule coming home is far tougher than the other team's that they are jockeying with. 11 of their final 16 games are against teams in the top half of the conference. Soo, London, Windsor are more like 6 or 7 during the same stretch. Good news is many of those are 4 point games, so they control their future. I genuinely hope Flint proves those wrong who point to an "easier schedule" as the sole reason they occupy the top spot. Nothing easy about how they will need to bring it home.

I pointed it out in the Windsor thread. A bunch of Erie and Saginaw pre-subtractions and then a bunch of London, Soo, Windsor, Guelph post additions. Flint’s schedule isn’t set up to be a cakewalk. Nice finishing with a lot of home games though.

Looking forward to watching on tv tonight in TC with my son. Appreciate our Director of Marketing, Dominic Guitterez for his Generals Night Game promotion. Well done and it looks like there will be some good support in the stands. Keep it up boys.

Well, that went well. Cant take their foot off the gas tomorrow. Kinda sucks they all had to stick around for the jersey auctions when they have to play at 2 tomorrow. They’re either going to be facing Erie’s backup or a tired Lalonde.

Our winning team and great “Flint Generals” promotion nearly soldout the Dort Center last night. 3,556 out of 3,900 seats. Not as many their today, but the boys need to play hard with their 3rd game in three nights. Glad to see the Generals name still pulls some weight. Go Firebirds!

Not a real good effort today. We cannot win them all, plus Erie was due to beat us.

No consistent effort level today. It looked like Kuzmin was the only one interested in hustling and winning that game. Things are too tight at the top to not show up for winnable games. Erie just outplayed them and Lalonde outplayed Day but he really had the easier game. Hopefully they learn from this one. That being said, there were more than a few unlucky bounces and having the live jersey auction late Saturday before a 2pm game was rough snd I would not be surprised if they maybe went out and celebrated a little too. Probably some of the old Generals veterans taking them out to show how it used to be done :).

Players have 11pm curfew on game nights, so I doubt there were any celebrations Sat night.
