GDT: Game 1: Islanders @ Hurricanes, 7pm

[HisIceness]

So I watched the 30 for 30 on the 2000 Baltimore Ravens (you should too), they had this great philosophy which was "if they (opposition) don't score, they don't win". So, let's score and not let the Islanders score. Seems simple enough.

Anyway, it's game 1 of what I hope to be 2006 part deux. Let's get it. Just f***ing win.

Going need Turbo, Jarvis and Stas to return to last season’s versions to have a good chance this postseason

I feel like they have a history of not liking our lower effort threads. f*** em. I'm on my way down to take in game one. Can't wait.

Who gives a f*** about the main board, and why?

Surprising re: PP:

Does that mean Andersen is not dressing and PK is the backup, or that Andersen is backing up Raanta?

Ordinarily I'd say who cares, but this is a critical question. Since Raanta is starting, whoever is backing up will likely play 37 min tonight.

 

[Joe McGrath]

i think the backup stays out with the scratches most days.

Also this is totally the borg torpedoing Freddie’s value to get him on a cheap deal next season.

Yeah also to get a better draft pick that's the whole plan.

Which then enables them to trade back and get 2 more picks

And if you think that's cool, wait until I tell you what they do with those 2 picks.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Try not to suck please and thank you.

 

[Tryamw]

Poor people on the island a hurricane is upon thee

We should try winning.

Novel idea I'll copyright it and patent it

 

[Tryamw]

Win or riot

Why not both??

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Also this is totally the borg torpedoing Freddie’s value to get him on a cheap deal next season.

If they wanted to do that, they'd just start him every game.

Surprising re: PP:

Why is PP being scratched in any way surprising? He hasn't exactly been making much of a case for himself.

Some more info...may be an injury holding him back too (at least he is not on the day-to-day list):

PP has played way better than Stepan lately. Would much rather have him on 4th line than Stepan.
