Making history! Only the second Elmer to skate in the NHL. Habs no longer have the Elmer monopoly. My research might be suspect but I am rolling with it.

Elmer's have a 100% HOF rate... don't f*** it up!

Really want to go to this game but I think my cousin whom I normally attend games with is going to flake on me.

I'm honestly not opposed in theory to just going by myself though.

I've only been to a couple games by myself, but I love watching hockey alone. First time I went to Wings training camp and prospect tournament I was by myself. The scout in me loves it, no distractions lol.

Solo games are great. Go when you want, leave when you want and eat where you want. No wrenches in your game plan.

How close is Walman?

Lalonde said he could be ready as early as next month. And then Fabbri and Pysyk in January sometime.

1,000 posts for a Game 1 victory? For old times' sake?

Bottom Six should be:

Kubalik - Rasmussen - Soderblom
Erne - Suter - Sundqvist

Veleno to GR
Zadina as 13th FWD

Kubaliks skillset is not meant to be on the 4th line.

 

[datsyukfan]

For me Zadina should be in lineup.

Kubalik- Veleno-Zadina
Soderblom-Rass- Sundquist/Erne

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I'd like to see Veleno and Soderblom on the same line. He's a better playmaker and faster than Rasmussen. The lines are otherwise fine.

I like the ents all playing together. Average height above 6'5 is worth seeing if they can mismatch with some guys

 

[jkutswings]

I hereby introduce a new term for hockey slang:

PK3 - A pejorative for a player lacking in skill or popularity with the fans. See also: scrub, 4A player.

(No offense to Walman, but the others aren't exactly high ceiling guys.)

 

[raymond23]

Finally Larkin on the PK.

Only 2 hits searching Hockey-Reference for Elmer. My life's work is ruined.

We're entering the stage of the rebuild where we're not just looking for any young guys. We need young guys who will be best in class in their role. A lot of guys will get filtered out. Zadina is clearly on his way out. Veleno can still carve out a bottom 6 role. Rasmussen is the one of the three who has proven he can not just survive but thrive in a role on this team, which is nice to see considering his development has been rough.
Ultimately if they get beat for these top 9 spots then they're not guys we need. It's best to make peace with that.

This. Pretty much this.

Elmer Lach does show up on a hockeydb search unless you enter his last name too.

[dalem177]

All right, I'm going to commit. 2 nights before the season opener, and I'm just going to come right out and say it.

I'm going to enjoy watching the game.

I think it will be some bourbon and some wings from down the street.
