GDT: Note @ Oranges

[Oberyn]

Oshie one should be how many times he falls on the ice with no one around him. Great work though!

I think Lehtera has surpassed Oshie for time spent toppled on the ice.

Lehtera is usually falling down around other skaters. I've seen Oshie eat the ice twice on a line change. Grassy knoll sniper style

 

[High n Wide]

Haha great GDT. I've yet to see another teams GDT come close to ours for entertainment value.

I predict that the Bortman pairing is going to be a nightmare

It really is just a given. I'm prepared

As Browns said, at least Lehtera falls around other skates. Oshie however, makes you think that the players actually have to jump over every line on the ice.

I'm prepared for bort hitting someone and jax realizing that's his job, they become the best pairing in history because they maul people and we win the stanley with them averaging 40 minutes a night each.

It's basically having Pronger and Stevens on the same pairing.

Jackman does channel his inner Orr in game 2's, hopefully Bortuzzo can handle the game 3's. Jokinen has the game 4's.

During that Blues Hawks game on NBC a few weeks ago they were showing some replays from over the years and one of them was Jackman's OT winner from last year. I couldn't stop laughing because John Kelly called the goal like "A shot...they score!!!! Barret Jackman of all people!!! I guess when it happened live I was too busy screaming and celebrating to hear that call. But it's true. Jackman really does a great Orr/Coffey/MacInnis impersonation in game 2's.

Like this, I would imagine.

do you have any idea how hard I've worked over the years to purge that memory from my mind?

Colaiacovo is on the Flyers? I lost track. Looks like he is in the line-up tonight. Should be fun.

 

[Meatwagon]

I think Elk just created our playoff avatars.

The exact same thought crossed my mind. I was all in for the emotions of Ranksu bit, but thus has some how blown it out of the water!

Well done Elk, well done!!!!!

 

[KirkOut]

haha Hitch says Jokinen will play Saturday vs. Toronto. Great troll job, I hope Jokinen pots one

It makes sense for him to get a game in soon. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a Bluenote.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Since Elliot is playing tonight, have Allen play vs the Leafs?

I wouldn't bet on it. Sooner than later Elliott will be given the vast majority of the starts to get ready for the playoffs. We have 3 more back to backs and those are the only 3 guaranteed starts for Allen.

 

[Vladdy the Impaler]

This is terrific. I don't know why but the Dobbs ad square was the funniest for me.

 

[EastonBlues22]

New numbers:

Jokinen - 13
Bortuzzo - 41
Michalek - 6

 

[542365]

Even though I don't have particularly high hopes, I'm excited to see what Bortuzzo can do. Hopefully he and Jax make life hell for them and avoid getting hemmed in too much.

 

[WiscoBlues]

 

[BlueDream]

Hopefully Bortuzzo can just move the puck a little better than Polak and they can smash some opposing players around.

Every game against the Flyers reminds me of how much of a disaster it would have been signing Lecavalier. Wow.

 

[Dbrownss]

Even though I don't have particularly high hopes, I'm excited to see what Bortuzzo can do. Hopefully he and Jax make life hell for them and avoid getting hemmed in too much.

Knowing Michalek is on the sidelines makes it that much more palatable. I'm hoping he gets the nasty streak back.

 

[KirkOut]

haha that's what I thought of too

 

[The Note]

I hope every time Rinaldo is on the ice, Bortuzzo is as well.
