Wait. What's a Christmas Salad?

A salad to be eaten on Christmas Eve, December 24. Along with fish. Before that is garlic to keep us healthy, followed by waffles with honey, Christmas cabbage soup and salad with fish. Mostly it's made with potatoes, but I made it with crab sticks. Change.

What kind of fish is usually used?

Did Laine hurt himself bouncing off the Voronkovwall?

Did Laine hurt himself bouncing off the Voronkovwall?

Maybe? I saw that in real time on the opposite end of the ice out of the corner of my eye. It's like he went in for the hit and missed, mostly hitting the boards and Voronkov didn't even flinch.

Montembault is actually a pretty good goalie. I was sleeping on him before watching some Montreal games this season, he's been very good in most games. He's made a lot of similar big saves. He's good.

He has been very streaky. I have used him some in fantasy.

What kind of fish is usually used?

Mostly carp. But people also eat other fish or cutlets etc. Although I prefer fish, as Christmas Eve is also the end of Lent.

This video includes Laine trying to make a run on Voronkov.

 

[Napoli]

For Laine to not even finish this game is well...fitting

 

[SteelCityCannon]

I loved Z's response. Captain material, not that we didnt know that already. Glad he didnt take the high road. That team, and the fanbase, did nothing but support him through his issues.

"Didnt finish the game, a couple of hits and...yeah"

Z obviously not shocked that Laine folded like a bad poker hand.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Did Laine hurt himself bouncing off the Voronkovwall?

Hit his fortnite finger... Out for 2 months.

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

f*** yeah, Z.

 

[NotWendell]

Shouldn't the vagina be considered a lower body injury?

 

[MAHJ71]

So, Marchenko with 37 points in 35 games

Has anyone had a better season start in CBJ history ?

 

[EDM]

There is so much talent flowing thru this organization right now that I am not looking for any big trades to bring in big name stars. I am willing to jus go with the flow as this young talent develops. OK, I can see adding one big name defense man , but other than that i am content to just let this combination of players develop.

 

[CBJ goalie]

A great win.
Laine a non- factor after his dumb-ass words which gave CBJ bulletin board material- and only plays the first period = karma.
And the guy he's traded for scores.

Like a script.

Good feeling going into the Holiday break.

Enjoy this, Happy Holidays.

Look what I found on Twitter: I think Laine said about it.

Maybe try giving birth to a couple kids and have your sexual organ bleed for a week once a month and then check you if you still feel having a vagina implies softness.

As a man I'm telling you if we had periods we'd be spending every last one of them on a sick leave staring at our dicks in worry

And he still wanted out after DW was hired.

Laine tired of losing and wants out - part of the problem

Werenski tired of losing but wants to be a leader, fix it ,and do it here - part of the solution.

I would tend to agree with one exception
Even with a Jet we still need a good goalie

I don't have an issue with Laine pointing it out. Probably a lot of what he said had some merit to it.

What I do have a problem with is how we tried to pretend he wasn't part of the problem, and he damn sure wasn't part of the solution. He was a problem in Winnipeg with his teammates and coaches. He was a problem here with both too. He went public about these things because Patrik Laine likes when the narrative is about Patrik Laine. His comments about the fans was downright putrid. He fumbles at every single PR opportunity he gets.

But like I said, I give him credit for his honesty and candor. If he f***in hates us? Fine, fair game. I f***in hate him too then.

From all we know, the org (from players, to coaches, to management) all backed Laine and wanted to support him. Whether it was from Torts'/Vincent benching, his father passing tragically, or his stint in the player assistance program. He comes out of the program and wants to move on, we grant him that, and this is what he says in his first game back?

When someone shows you their character, believe them.

 

[Aaaarrgghh]

After the Laine comments I thought exactly three things:
1. So you went to Montréal because they are winners?
2. I'm sure that your commitment to winning and leadership in this regard is sorely missed in Columbus and is the difference maker between them and Montréal this year.
3. **** you.

Watching the highlights, I was very content seeing nothing of him. Finding out he was injured, that's just poetic. And Harris scored too.

Anyway, since we Swedes are an impatient bunch, we celebrate Christmas on the 24th (but we at least don't open the presents until after Donald Duck has aired at 3 PM), so Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!

I don't know about him treating the fans overall though. But they posted here that he was allegedly threatened.
In short, he should have phrased it differently.

Btw, you keep forgetting that he had severe mental issues, such people think differently. Often strange enough, my own experience.
