Stumpy

I really hope I am wrong, but I am starting to get strong late Raanta vibes. He's still capable of putting the team on his back every once in a while. Not sure Fred has enough left in him to be the 1a anymore, though.

Missed most of the 1st eating dinner with the family so I missed this in real time. Holy poo what a dirty fugging play... Good on Staal Bunyan for immediately beating that MFer bloody! Really hope Chatty is OK and ole buddy gets a nice suspension to go with his broken nose.

Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

How do I activate said Krispy Kreme deal? I'm stoned man you can't be playing with me about this...

When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year. Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale. ... Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!

Our Mad King is back!

Stopped 22 shots in the first 23 minutes. He was hype after that rehab game up in Chicago. Wanted to show off, so he told the boys before the game:

Igor right now...

Let him cook...

After that first Rags PP, we pretty much shut them down. 2 shots in 15+ minutes of ice time, including a PP, is pretty hard to pull for.

Walker:

fug man! Hopefully its just a stinger. We cant afford to lose another dman. Everybody pray for Darling Nikki!

He gotta learn to let go...

That was a candyass hand pass call.

The Bus Stop is now 7th in the league with a 2.25 GAA and 12th with a .916 sv% ...and he's done all that behind a 50% AHL defense!

Darling Nikki now tied with Makar for top +/- in the entire league at +11

How great would it be for The Bus Stop to send Florida home from the playoffs after they basically cut him this year?!?
