GDT: Okay, so we won a game. Big whoop

[Navin R Slavin]

This wasn't a problem when we had Ian Cole.

Mrs. Hank says we need to get over the Nookie and Koochie jokes, and this is the best evidence I've yet seen that she is absolutely correct. Gross! I hate myself!

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Yeah, the Koochie, Cole, Abby stuff needs to be done with. It's the first time in 3 years we've been able to say anything remotely positive about Martinook though, but I regret posting that as well.

On Martinook: so maybe The Borg is a little better at evaluating this hockey stuff than us keyboard jockeys?

This song always reminds me of these game day threads...go Canes!

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you...

 

[Unsustainable]

Winning would be good

 

[WreckingCrew]

Is it a problem that I like both teams playing tonight? CAR shooting % will rebound at 5v5 as they are 20 goals below expected on the year. Just need to start finding the roof and PIT's goalies have been pretty terrible to date.

When the other team is Shittsburgh, it is 100% a problem...and we shall settle this at the nearest Bo'hangl'es

I'm bored just reading this.

...it's called game prep, you are now ready for Canes hockey

1) yes, they are.

2) two things can be true at once. Martinook can be playing very well this year and also have been very bad the last few years.

Another thing The Borg has that we don't is context. We see a guy who's toast and useless. They may see a guy with injuries that they can actually specify, diagnose, understand, etc.

If you're bored then you're boring
The agony and the irony they're killing me

make bird soup out they ass

Gods cruel joke, brids that can't fly but swim!

 

[SoupNazi]

I hate the Penguins.

Not nearly as much as I hate the Maple Leaves, but still.

3. Marty could just now be 100%. All of his sports hernia stuff.

Koochie is never going away, you'll have to live with it. Agree on Abby/Cole, that is played out

Hard to train through a hernia.

Your #3 is what I was implying by my note at the end.

I wasn't talking about the nickname, I was referring to the middle school jokes about the name. To each, their own though. Doesn't bother me if people want to continue with that.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Martinook is playing well, but he's also in a less noticeable position in the lineup. Bottom 6er on the Top Line is low hanging fruit as far as fan complaints go. He'll go back to be a whipping boy as soon as he's back there.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

yeah the jokes about the nickname aren't going away either... none of it bothers me but especially the Cole/Abby stuff just isn't funny to me. Maybe at first but not anymore.

What's the Abby/Cole thing? I must have missed that.

Laughs in Stastny, Kotkaniemei.....

I didn't say they were going away, I said they should. Like I said, it doesn't bother me but like anything else, once you hear it 100 times, it's not clever or funny.

 

[Borsig]

Kochetkov should be Chekov, not "koochie" I hate that nickname.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I mean bring it up with the boys in the locker room not us lol they gave it to him.

Win or go to hell
