GDT: G80: Wild @ Flames | 9PM

Perhaps they're filming a new Not Weird, Wild commercial.

This team does this so often.

If Spurgeon is out, roll with these pairings:

Middleton - Faber
Buium - Brodin
Chisholm/Merrill - Bogosian

Sounds like he should be fine. Surprised they never had a better angle of this. Thought it was his arm from the way he was acting.



Puck hit his vagus nerve. Happened to Holloway earlier this season (it shouldn’t cause injury)

I think they're watching porn.

Like on the screens on the bench during the game???

Chisholm doesn't seem to have improved at all. Maybe a hair better on defense, but his offense is now non existent. I know he's not the main problem, but at this point he's the Tyson Jost of defenseman.

Yeah I agree he’s sacrificed all offense for marginal improvements defensively. The worst part is that he’s still better than Merrill or Booger.

 

[BagHead]

Spurgeon injured? What just happened?

So, it was actually that Spurgeon took a puck to the throat. So... now I feel like an asshole.

They didnt show much on the replay, but it was clear his neck or throat was not ok, and he asked the linesman to escort him to the bench. Looked kinda scary, good thing it wasnt worse. Puck to throat doesnt sound good.

Yeah, but being the marginally better 7th defenseman of three 7th defensemen is still a 7th defenseman. I get it's having to play the hand the team has essentially dealt themselves, but it's like having to choose the most attractive Walmart cashier.

I prefer Bogo. Merrill/ Chisholm... meh.

It is really disappointing Chisholm hasn’t separated himself from the Merril Bogo dregs at this point. Bogo is worn out and getting towards cooked , he has provided exactly what we hired him for. Merril is a warm body. I thought Chisholm had upside and he still might
