Who are you? And what did you do to batting1k?

 

[Panteras]

I can genuinely say we’re going to win or lose this game

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

If they can not get behind by multiple goals right away. They can maybe squeeze out a win.

 

[ShootIt]

Actually showing up for the puck drop would be nice to see.

Hopefully bad Bob is done for the series.


Has there been a lineup posted by the Team/beat writers?

Really hope they aren't going with the same 12 forwards/lines

Watching the team lose broke you mentally, was my guess, you will be back in the other thread in time for the game tonight.

Went down like this:

 

[Desert Panther]

Who are you? And what did you do to batting1k?

We're seeing "Playoff batting1k" instead of "Regular Season batting1k"

 

[Chaos2k7]

Finally got that Junior Graphic Design position he was gunning for, must've called in a favor from his Dad, GOLDIE!

It wasn't the loss, it was all the messages from all my dumbass friends that kept flooding in.

This is what I get for living in the Greater Toronto Area

I finally give real lines and now that’s not good enough?

All my family is in the GTA too, I was told Willy called game, at 3-1, boy was the whining real, by the end of the game.

They all expect to lose, and I would hate to disappoint them.

I refuse to read the OP. Too long.
