So, what's the Over/Under on how many times Maniscalco refers to Paquette as Dzingel?

My mom used to drive me and my sisters from Apex to Kitchener multiple times a year for close to 15 years, I know that feeling all too well.

If there's anything that justifies "screw it, I'm stopping at the next place I see even if it's an Arby's", it's that kind of road trip.

What's the over under on how many times Maniscalco refers to Paquette as Vincent Trocheck?

Man I never understand this sentiment even though it seems I'm in the minority... Arby's is amazing. Elite fast food fries, Beef n' Cheddar is an underrated mainstay sandwich, and some of their specialties are fantastic as well. Elite sauce game as well - plain Roast Beef sandwiches with Horsey or Arby's sauces are fantastic.

Arby's is in my upper echelon as far as fast food goes, price being the main issue. I don't understand the constant crap they get.

Not gonna lie, I think Arby's is pretty good as an occasional changeup. It's just that they make a good punch line, like Denny's or Long John Silver's.

Chucky is officially a scratch not on the taxi squad?

Arguing with habs fans in 2013 or 14 over whi was better, Galchenyuk or Skinner, taught me never to debate people who unironically refer to players with nicknames that end in -y or are otherwise overly affectionate.

Little Caesars (talking about the actual pizza, not crazy bread) is both a punchline and a last resort type restaurant.

 

[Unsustainable]

I’d like to see these lines because they make the best acronyms...

Aho - Staal - Svech
Martinook - Nino - McGinn
Trochek - Necas - TT
Paquette - Fast - Foegele

My conclusion is we need more players who have last names starting with Vowels.

PFTTT for the PK unit?

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

A Staal Aho Trochek line would leave the rest of the lineup pretty devoid of centers though

I thought that’s why we just traded for Paquette and Galchenyuk???? Was that not the reason!?

What if their actual name ends in "eee"? #HamiltonPitkanenRound2

The bigger issue here is that, as anyone who has ever driven from Canada to Raleigh can attest, Paquette is arriving in Raleigh with 5 pounds of body weight attributable to Tim Horton's, Taco Bell, and Bojangles.

We are bringing him in to play a heavy game after all.

There aren't many better choices.

Honestly I expected way more this year from Fleury, at least until now, he really elevated his play last playoffs. On Bean I won't say he looked really solid, I liked his quickness behind the net but once he got pinned he looked often in trouble.

I expect the physicality of the pair to be largely covered by THE STALWART OF CHAOS KNOWN AS SKJEI.

Cedric Paquette

The primary return was center Cedric Paquette. Paquette is a bit of an old school fourth-liner who plays with a physical edge and even a bit of throwback nastiness. The telltale sign that Head Coach Rod Brind’Amour is not particularly happy with the fourth line is when he intermittently moves Jordan Martinook back to the center position which he has done again recently. After bursting onto the NHL scene with a two-game scoring barrage, Morgan Geekie came back to Earth a bit. The upside of him in the fourth line center slot is if the team can get above average depth scoring from the line. In nine games to start the 2020-21 season, Geekie has yet to crack the score sheet. I think has Brind’Amour leaning toward building more of a traditional fourth line that is physical, difficult to play against and also filled by a player or two who kill penalties. Paquette is a perfect fit for that role and priced right at $1.65 million against the salary cap.

With the compacted schedule and the depth we have on D, I wouldn't mind giving all our defensemen the occasional day off. Obviously you don't sit Slavin, Pesce, or Dougie as much as the others. But we've seen that we can win even when one of our best sits out, so if you can keep the entire corps a bit fresher and healthier than the opposition, I've got to believe that would pay dividends later into the season and in the playoffs. A "prophylactic" R&R day to maybe reduce the number of "treatment" R&R days. (heh, heh, heh, he said "prophylactic")

Martinook - Nino - McGinn

So yeah, I've been listening to rap radio channel lately, and there's this song about the coronavirus, and I think it's really stupid subject to make a song of like it's some generational experience or something, but the guy seems to pull it off despite everything, because he's like Eminem good with his flow and the lyrics, and then a couple of days back I finally learned the reason why he is like Eminem good.
