Ugly half of the third period. Tired of dump and line change, dump and line change. Keep possession and change!

They are playing not to lose
A regulation loss would be disastrous, a win in OT or shootout wouldn’t be so bad. We have a good lead on the Hawks, it’s the Blues I’m thinking about!

We created this site for those of you that have a song stuck in your head and you can’t get it out no matter what you do. Using the latest in reverse-auditory-melodic-unstickification technology, we’ve been able to allow our users to "unhear" songs by hearing equally catchy songs. So really all we’re doing is making you forget your old song by replacing it with another one… sorry.

FIrst period thread intro:
I don’t know how to live trough this hell
Woken up, I’m still locked in this shell
Second period:
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice, I can’t take anymore
Third period:
Freezing
Can’t move at all
Screaming
Can’t hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out
I’m trapped under ice
They also proclaim that no matter what, they won the Civil War over the people of TN.
