I really wanted to see Avery end his career in the ECHL……maybe later in the season. :)

Sounds like Barry Trotz "guest commented" for you on this one:
Sully hasn’t scored yet for the Penguins, but it sounds like he’s playing pretty well.
Sully’s of ZERO use, except for his ability to score. He does not have that ability any more. One word for ya:
WASHED UP
Retire Sully. Come back to Nashville and be our PR guy. Or be a guest commentator with Crispy. Or take Stu Grimson’s spot on the radio. Let it go bro…..
The truth is always the right answer....

Did you see this on his "review"?
But the guy seemingly couldn’t score a goal on a breakaway with an empty net.
I chuckled.
LOL
I did go and read that. Sounds like him last year…all the way up to the Ducks series. He pulled a Legwand in the Ducks series.
The truth is always the right answer....

And guess where you can put them. :P

In the win column? :p

Right under that 5-1 loss from opening night. Or somewhere near that 6-2 loss to close out last season. Too bad y’all didn’t make the playoffs….
R.I.P. Belak, Rypien, Boogaard, Lokomotiv.
Part Predator, part Lightning.
Such bitterness after a loss……tsk, tsk, tsk. :p

Barf....
….I’ll settle this case of puppy love:
We’re gonna put it right underneath our $hit-stompling of the Bolts.

SWFP is just upset that he lost you to a bear. :D

Geez, the Ducks are bad on defense.
Watching that 3rd period tonight of the Ducks/Caps game gave me flashbacks of game 5 of our playoff series against them. They have no idea who to pick up or where to go in their Dzone. Gonna be a long season for them unless Hiller finds his pre-vertigo form.

it was a great game for ole Joel Wardo though, 1G 1A, +3
I miss Ward, but I’m glad he’s getting a chance to play and get payed good for it. Now that he has 3G 3A he’s leading Semin’s 2G 4A and is +7 so far for the season.

Ward looked like a little kid when they tied it up late in the 3rd period! Love the joy he has playing the game.

Hee hee. The Ducks lost again. :)
Oh. But the Caps won. :(

My feelings exactly on that game. Had to be a 3pt game, didn’t it? :/

I liked it.
Caps third line is trouble. Ward had a nice game, brought them back, really. … Ducks got awful goaltending last night. Hey, what’s gotten into Beauchemin? Hitting like a truck this year.
by el pucko on Nov 2, 2011 8:12 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Beauchemin is a nasty guy to play against when in a Ducks jersey…..didn’t carry over in his time in Toronto though.
Ward and Brouwer add that line depth the Caps were missing last season. I may have under sold them in my season predictions.

Here's to seeing Fisher, Erat, Kostitsyn, and Cube in the same game!
(I wrote cube because I can’t spell his real name, but somehow I can spell “Kostitsyn”)

At least on Kostitsyn, I can sound it out and get close. With Bou— Buoi— Bull— Cube’s name there are just a bunch of vowels that when put together sound like “uuuuuyooooo”

but I may have cheated since there’s a Preds poster right beside my desk.

Isn’t that kinda like when your teacher tells you to look up a word you can’t spell in the dictionary.
by Melissa Vanderpool Wallace on Nov 2, 2011 12:11 PM EDT up reply actions
I’ll still have to look it up next time. :)
R.I.P. Belak, Rypien, Boogaard, Lokomotiv.

I’m telling ya the poster by the desk is the perfect solution. Of course, half the people in the picture no longer play for the Preds and I am often distracted by Shea Weber’s beard. But it’s a price I am willing to pay.

According to Trotz on 102.5 "Coffee with the Coach"
Fisher is ready and Kostitsyn may be ready for the Yotes.
