PS: I beat Pitts 3-0
I beat Sharks 3-1
Looking for a pattern here...
Where is everyone?
I guess everyone is still hung over from last night.
Looking for your Hat trick on GDT? I'll go for that!
Watching that Hansen hit in reply it didn't seem all that bad (a bit of an elbow) so I guess that's why no suspension...
Looking forward to the game which can be a bad sign. They usually play bad when I am pumped for the game. Really don't want to channel surf tonight but it is a team game, if that's what it takes to win I'll pay the price
Is Kassian playing, read he is cleared to play, or do they send him to Utica for conditioning? If he does play, who sits?
Oh Blobby Mac is gonna be PISSED OFF at WD for scratching his boi Zack Kassian
The Honey Badger don't give a shit

"It's definitely frustrating...you can sit here and whine all you want, but it's not going to do anything."
"When I get my chance to get in I'm not coming out, I'll tell you that."
Love his attitude. He is pissed he ain't playing and will be fired up to not let anyone else take his spot.
He needs to show up on the score sheet and have a physical game without the stupid penalties.
speaking of stupid penalties, what is the over/under for one of Sedin's getting a lazy penalty at the other end of the ice. Seems to be a regular occurrence from them lately.
I have no problem with Porn Stache sitting him for a game . It is a bit cheap considering he was playing a regular shift before suffering his third injury of the year . But if it lights a fire under his ass then great . I think Higgins and Vey are candidates to watch a game with Tommy Boy fairly soon . I think the team looks a little soft and a little small without him in the lineup so hopefully this is a one off and the kid wakes up . If Porn Stache continues to give him this treatment I will be pissed .

Should be a good game so I am going to give up bikini watching at the pool ( ok I will take a "bikini" break between periods ) I expect the Kings to be pissed at losing to Edmonchuk and come out strong.. Agree with the Blob.. taking out Vey and putting in a hungry Kassian next game would be a good move.. Miller will have to be on top of his game again tonight .. Sedins penalties are more about their lack of speed than laziness.. Expecting a good game from Hansen the Head Hunter tonight !

I wouldn't object to sending him to Utica for a handful of games to get him back to games shape. Would rather that than he be a healthy scratch. He was just cleared to play and we are coming off a couple of solid games so I can see WD watching tonight to see who isn't hungry enough to stay in the line up. It will be a tough choice for whoever has to sit.
