He's going to be the one who actually throws the switch...

You just know it's true!
Cuz, you know the switch ain’t happening, it’s an urban myth
Stanley Cup finalists last year lost their way into the playoffs. Pittsburgh losing at the end of the season was the reason Florida even made the playoffs, then look what happened. It wasn’t like they were firing on all cylinders towards the end.

Preferable to go into the playoffs in good form, but far from a necessity.

Who knows what kind of effect he’ll have on return? That said, he’s better than some options in the bottom six. Who would you pick - Aman or Lindholm?

Nobody’s expecting him to be the superman X-factor here, but he’s better than an AHL call-up.

The switch is already in the On position.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Lindholm will keep the like of Aman, PDG, and Bains out of the lineup, pushing Blueger back into the 4th line center slot.

Poor Brian, the good times of being Pat Quinn’s wingman at steak houses and whiskey bars for a few too many years has caught up to him. Work hard/Play Hard.

Boys, I think we just found Cousin Greta's gaping wound. Let's keep plumbing those depths to pour salt on it.

He can't flip the switch Cuz he ain't wired for it.

Rick Tocchet on Conor Garland: I know Gars really well. The players kid me that he's my favourite. Teacher's pet kinda thing. Millsy busts my balls for that. He's a small guy that plays big.

The crowd was chanting Garlands name last night

Thank you, Jim!
