SEASON SCHEDULE | RESULTS

Disclaimer: “GDT may not be 100% accurate. I got the line combos from your mom. I used to have Center Ice, Gamecenter Live, and an undercover concession worker in each arena, but this **** costs money. I will admit that my pet otter is using all up that money on his worsening opium problem. I try to not be an enabler, but I haven't had a sea urchin problem in months. Then I thought, why should I pay all this money and have a sea urchin problem to appease fans of random teams that I don't even care about anyway? Unless you are willing to take a bunch of sea urchins off of my hands, don't ***** if I get the lines wrong.” - BF​

[Nefarious]

A longer winning streak here would be awesome. Make it so!

 

[Pandaman11]

Enroth please...

 

[King RAZZ]

Let the Chips fall where they may...

 

[KingsKnight]

Enroth please...

Enroth off first.

 

[TonySCV]

I missed it... Why is the start at 8PM?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I missed it... Why is the start at 8PM?

Stadium Series game today that starts at 5PM.

Also, Scuderi in, McBain out.

 

[Little Psycho]

Let see what Scuds got. Do they play him with DD since he's familiar with him for now?

I know that's the reason but it doesn't make sense with the Calgary game starting at 7pm.

 

[tsanuri]

I know that's the reason but it doesn't make sense with the Calgary game starting at 7pm.

It's an NBC exclusive window. That game doesn't include a team south of the border. So it's OK.

That makes a lot of sense.

Was wondering if we were gonna get him today.

Was also wondering about the 8pm start... Makes sense but what a weird time. Not sure I remember any other 8pm starts within the past few years?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

You know, I'd say we're actually looking good here, but...

The distinct lack of primary conditionals means--you guessed it--we're probably boned.

Otherwise, what's the point of superstition Sure win? We know how this ends!

Pulled groin in OT and Enroth going into the shootout cold?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Pulled groin in OT and Enroth going into the shootout cold?

i see what you did there.

 

[The Pale King]

This one is late enough that there's almost no chance any eastern writers will catch it. Doughty is probably good for 3 points tonight.

I'm probably going to miss it as well... there's a better chance of a Scuderi natural hat-trick than them showing it at the restaurant tonight.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Pulled groin in OT and Enroth going into the shootout cold?

Kings went on quite the tear after that.

 

[kingsholygrail]

So it's NBC exclusive as in they weren't allowed to play at the normal time and still be on FSN?

Yep they gave NBC a 3 hour exclusive window in the states for the game.

Any points one way or the other for using old logo's on the meter?

 

[The Pale King]

Any points one way or the other for using old logo's on the meter?

Los Angeles lost 10-1 to Buffalo the last time they wore sweaters with that logo on 'em. Jan. 14th 2006. That can't bode well.

BUT Dustin Brown was the only player from that game still on the roster, and he went +1... somehow.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Any points one way or the other for using old logo's on the meter?

I was just doing it as a joke honestly waiting for someone to visit and correct me but I just realized that's when they used to murder us

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

11pm eastern start, great...
