My god they're actually going to try to win the next two. Ullmark vs the Oilers will be a great watch

lol, such a great post.

A terrorist movie isn’t a Christmas movie at least for me It isn’t.

We celebrate Christmas in honor of a dude that was beat up, persecuted,tortured,
crucified and keeps coming back to life.

Die Hard is the best example of a Christmas movie.

 

[SanderSen]

That's it, pulling up Die Hard now. Just enough time to watch it before the game. It's got to be good karma!

 

[Silky Johnson]

Yeah but the actor is Swedish. I think.

No. The actor is Alan Rickman. British.

LEEVI VS LANKINEN

Hopefully the boys will overcome their jet lag for this game and shelter Leevi as much as possible.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

No. The actor is Alan Rickman. British.

Still, the fact that I would mistake him for being Scandinavian, and he was cast as a terrorist villain, that has to count for something.

Nope.

Double nope

Not a fan of Merilainen starting at all.

Ullmark looked tired when playing the last B2B game as well as after the last game in Calgary, he probably needs that extra day of rest. Backup should play in every B2B situation. I suspect he'll have to be lights out against Edm as the boys will be travelling to another time zone again with no rest in between. Hopefully some of the players find their legs.

 

[Silencio]

A rare doubleheader for the Sens

 

[Cosmix]

Is it weird that I can recite what McClane says in that clip word for word? (without playing it first ofc lol)

Yes!

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Double nope

Merry Christmas.

Not many Swedish terrorists...

Great move to scramble the lines up after 5 wins in a row.

Edit: Not that I don't think some changes are good during win streaks, but that's a lot of scrambling.

Top 6 hasn't been producing much 5v5 during this streak, probably wants to get them going, esp. Stu. Norris/Drake still together and Ridley played decent the last game so I think it'll be OK. Gaudette has played well on the 4th line before, might get his scoring touch back. I'm not surprised that the 3rd line remains intact, coach has been praising that line for awhile now.

The whole team is playing a 3 in 4 against Edmonton. That game is pretty much as close to a scheduled loss as you can get.

Hopefully it works out, I’d like at least 2 points this weekend before the break.

Some of our players lost their legs recently.

Surely because of the movie, it seems to be a real thing:

 

[Cosmix]

Nooooo! Not the Brannchise.

I wanted to see Brannstrom play for Vancouver. Fuddle!

I mean, they barely played in Calgary, that counts as half a game of effort right?

 

[Cosmix]

Maybe it's time for you to see "I'm sorry" to all that started there post with: I'm not a fan of Brann....


What happened to "don't fix what ain't broken"?

It broke!

It was inevitable.

 

[starling]

No Ullmark AND no Kenzie? Automatic loss.

I think thats mostly referring to refugees and far right domestic nut jobs.

All countries have some terrorists, domestic and imported. Still, Sweden isn't known for domestic "international" terrorist.

Germany in the 80's however had the Red Army Faction aka Baader-Meinhof, among others. That is what the fictional group that Hans Gruber belongs to is based off. They were very much real and active during the time that Die Hard came out.

Also, Hans Gruber is about as German a name as there is. So no real reason to think he was Swedish.

Enjoy the Hallmark channel.
