Holy shit. Every time I've heard the name Crotty I figured it was some nuck plug. He's our plug?! Who the f is crotty, lol

Iowa's captain. Had a grand total of 1 NHL game prior to tonight.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

If that was tipped, no blame to Gus.

Yep. Not on gus

 

[Webster]

lol...Gus eats more rubber. It's all Zucc's fault, need more leadership here

 

[MNRube]

Hard to win if you can’t hit the Fing net

 

[Sweetnut]

Merrill - Crotch
Treniyawn - Hartman - New Guy

All star lineup.

 

[57special]

Our forwards are crap. It's like they don't even try to score. They think it's a good night if they can cycle the puck a couple of times

 

[NHL1674]

Merrill - Crotch
Treniyawn - Hartman - New Guy

All star lineup.

Maybe in Iowa.

It's the same principle, just a matter of how much you extend it. Someone "not ready" isn't an excuse to target their head. "Being bigger" isn't an excuse to target their head, especially as that was the primary - or principal - point of contact and not something that happened on follow-through.

But it wasn’t targeting. Chisholm made it unavoidable because of the situation he put himself in. Pettersson has every right to go for that hit there and he doesn’t go out of his way to hit the head, it was just unavoidable.

No sarcasm. All I've heard in my head tonight whenever they cycle is the song "Bicycle Race."

BICYCLE! BICYCLE! BICYCLE!

I wonder if Guerin is going to be fed up with these guys who can’t stay healthy and seriously consider trading Spurgeon and/or Brodin.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Not sure I've got a third period in me

 

[NHL1674]

He'll trade guys like Spurgeon, Brodin, Rossi.....just to keep guys like Trenin, Brazeau, Merrill, Johansson.........

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Pretty please.

 

[AKL]

I wonder if Guerin is going to be fed up with these guys who can’t stay healthy and seriously consider trading Spurgeon and/or Brodin.

I still wanna trade Spurgeon, Brodin, Trenin, let Johansson, Nyquist and Brazeau walk, and come back next year with a new look...but I also don't trust Guerin to do it well, if he was even going to do it

 

[NHL1674]

I think they've given up.

 

[AKL]

...just to keep guys like Trenin, Brazeau, Merrill, Johansson.........

Please no, 3 of these guys are UFAs

 

[Sweetnut]

No sarcasm. All I've heard in my head tonight whenever they cycle is the song "Bicycle Race."

BICYCLE! BICYCLE! BICYCLE!

I want to ride my BICYCLE, I want to ride my biiiike...

 

[57special]

Well, I am staying positive till the mid 2nd period at least.

Times up, MF'ers!!!

 

[NHL1674]

Please no, 3 of these guys are UFAs

Understood. But I don't trust the guy to make smart decisions....especially after this last trade.

 

[AKL]

Understood. But I don't trust the guy to make smart decisions....especially after this last trade.

I'm right there with you but...please

 

[Webster]

I can see the problem, the leaders on this team wearing a letter are indeed a failure. Captain Spurgeon went hiding, he doesn't even want to play anymore, or face the media. And where's Foligno, is he playing tonight? Really need some grit out there. Kaprizov gets a pass, the poor guy is doing his best.

I think he might do those things honestly. I trust him enough to give him one shot to spend some actual money. He gets one more facelift and if it doesn’t work…

If Zucc had an A tonight things would be different

Yeah you’re not wrong

It's not "unavoidable". I'm not saying Chisholm shouldn't have done better but come on. You're just arguing in circles.
