Harbingers

I typed in Finnish love to gifs hoping there’d be a smoked fish video or something. Let’s just say it’s NSFH.

Oof. He we need our full D compliment in front of him to be effective.

I’m just happy he got a wrap around. Now svech HAS to get a lacrosse when he’s back.

Ya Necas getting the puck on edge sealed that deal.

Oh poo! It’s because Necas turned it up on end. If that puck had stayed flat that’s an easy non goal.

Holy poo!!! That went in? I could have sworn that was a top 10 by Subban.

Subban is playing like crazy tonight.

Cole is serviceable, smith has had issues but we do want to keep him around on this trip so nobody gets feisty with us. He’s just around to be the anti-enforcer enforcer.

As an addendum to my previous statement I’m loving Chatfield tonight. He knows this is probably his last game up in the big league tonight and he’s showing off all his skill. Beautiful digging along the boards and his speed is excellent.

Is Buffalo just this bad or are we actually finding a groove?

I wouldn’t have even called that a kick but they were so far offsides you could have fit a building in that gap.

If we score first is game over. *knock on wood*

101!!!

That’s weird considering Smith can play forward in a pinch. I figured we’d move smith to 4th line and have Bear with Slavin.

Wait what? Svech is out with an upper body? God damn we got hit by the injury bug all at once. I’m guessing we are fielding 7 defense and Smith will probably be going as a forward? If not we will be a man down on the roster no matter what.

I think Baldwin is expecting charges.

Bear is warming up, Rod said if good he’ll play. If it was me. Slavin - Bear Skjei - Smith(ya I know offside but seems like the best spot, Skjei is due for a good game) Cole - Lajoie

I don’t get how this could have even been an issue. Was Baldwin never trained to hold guns? Ever? Literally even with BB’s or what not when I’m handed any gun I check it or confirm with whoever gave it, loaded it to me with what it’s status is. It’s literally second nature. My biggest “WTF” moment was the fact he claimed he never pulled the trigger. The only explanation to me is like I said when it happened if it was a very old antique gun, anything else he would have had to pressure the trigger. I feel like as a prosecutor they could run with that comment too, even with the amount of money going against them. If they can prove he pulled the trigger, it would be over now that he said he didn’t.

Can we pick up Tomlin please?

If they’d take him I’d gladly take a 4th or 5th to get rid of Robbies contract. DJ, Nah.

I’m guessing they are all vaccinated too, and probably not even experiencing symptoms?

Thanks to all y’all keeping up threads too. I completely forgot we were playing tonight, had my dates all mixed up. I love Rod I think he’s a great coach. But dude. Go back to the lineups that won us 9 games in a row, except maybe keeping KK centering a line. He’s a whole lot better in the middle. It feels like Rod is just slinging poo at the wall at this point, but the wall just keep slinging it back. The other Caveat is I like putting Svech on the KK line but we’ll see if it can produce. With Stepan your gonna have 2-3 players on that line that are great at close play. Perhaps that’s what we need right now. I don't get what’s going on with Bear either. I know he’s caught some flak and has made some mistakes but nothing that has cost us a game. His play for the most part has been solid. I feel like Rod wants to keep the two rooks together but Bear is waaaaaaay better than Chatfield on average at this point. I’m not saying Chatfield has been bad either. He’s been decent, definitely gets confused and out of position especially in the neutral zone. Again not knocking him, obviously he’s only had 2-3 practices and 2 games up in the big leagues. Bear just is way more comfortable.

Some people should simply not have aggressive prone dogs. Saw a video on Reddit the other day of a pitbull absolutely mauling another dog on the street with a dozen people trying to intervene. It was just horrible to watch. Nobody had any clue how to control the dog. Nobody punched the larger/aggressor dog directly on the lungs to quick release or choke it out. It had a hold of a retriever and would not let go everyone involved got torn up. The point being was the owners literally just stood there in shock and didn’t do anything. It was depressing and infuriating to watch. Because a perfectly fine animal was put into a situation it should not have been in. My lady just the other day was out for a run on some trails, she came across what she described as a short woman(so well under 5 feet) with two very large dogs and a pit bull who tried to charge her. The owner literally got bulled over and was dragged a good distance by the dogs and proceeding to try and make it my lady’s fault for being on a public trail. Luckily the dogs had no ill intent. But stories like these just infuriate me.
