2 of the best teams in the league going head to head. they may as well hand the cup to whoever wins tonight. i love it

 

[JK3]

Basement Dweller Bedlam!

 

[Bleedred]

So we’re not scratching Zacha and Bratt and starting Domingue like the last time we played them? Why not? We beat them like that.

Which league? The AHL?

 

[Pitaya]

So we sat Blackwood last night to play him tonight?...

Either Nasreddine really has no clue or theyre thinking ahead to the next short-stint of games, and didnt want him playing 2 of 3

Wins and losses don't matter much right now. If you can build Macs confidence playing him against Detroit while continuing to expose Domingue's garbageness against Florida, hell, I consider that a win win.

No Vatanen at the morning skate. DO we have a trade to announce?!

He hasn't played in like 5 games due to injury. Now, whether he is actually injured or being held out for a trade, that is questionable. But him not being in morning skate likely isn't an indication of anything imminent.

 

[King In The North]

Any word on Nico?

 

[TrufleShufle]

Any word on Nico?

He will miss somewhere between 1 more game and the rest of the season.

He skated today actually, first time since his injury.

 

[MartyOwns]

he takes that ‘have you ever been to raleigh’ shit pretty seriously

 

[Patrik26]

There it is! That "I have to fart but can't get it out" look.

 

[Better Call Sal]

he takes that ‘have you ever been to raleigh’ **** pretty seriously

Shit, there's an HF throwback.

He's been skating with the team up until today though. Strange.

 

[Blender]

I just looked at the standings and can't believe how far ahead of Detroit we are. Yikes.

People like to think we are the worst team ever, but Detroit is on a whole other level on a nightly basis.

with Blackwood in net, this isn’t a game we should be losing even with our injuries. Wings are that bad.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Watching these garbage teams play

 

[RyGuy]

Ill go on record as saying Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is one of the best films over the past 5 years. It's like the hockey equivalent of the Red Wings, except the exact opposite.

 

[RyGuy]

There it is! That "I have to fart but can't get it out" look.

Its not that he has to fart. Hes actually in a constant state of being hot-boxed by another persons fart which he has to perpetually smell for the rest of his life.

 

[Bleedred]

Holy f***.

Detroit already has 40 regulation losses after 58 games and are on pace for 45 points and 20 wins. That’s gotta be the worst finish (if they don’t win a few more games than that pace) since the 90’s expansion teams. It definitely hasn’t been done this century, because I remember Colorado in 16-17 with 48 points was tied with the expansion 99-00 Thrashers for fewest points in the 2000’s century so far.

And that kind of scares me a bit that they’re due to win some games just by complete accident and freak luck.

Or us no-showing, or just being our usual incompetent selves.
