Guess I’m changing my SPG.
"It's an incredible place. Every seat feels like it's right on top of you. So can't we just make it official? Every big American soccer game should be played in RFK. We need the home-field advantage. Done and done."
wow, I completely forgot about that after the second game.
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.

Love to see Giroux stick it to his former employer…

That’s Aucoin.
Maybe play with an edge, be a little more physical -- maybe be more of a prick out there.
I’m thinking the “stick” part is likely (and while Rooster did play for ATL’s farm club in Chi-town, he never suited up for the Thrash).
Oh, and swell avatar.

There’s a Polish one (natch) that you can mix with anything and not taste it that’s good too. I don’t have any in the freezer, and the name escapes me.
Firefly’s good, make sure you have hidden your car keys and have a spare liver on ice, just in case.

Haha – here’s a true hockey story. A former goalie on my adult team donated half of his liver to a family member.

Yes…although both wouldn’t be a bad idea!
Have to say my new favorite is Heavy Seas Loose Cannon. What a great hoppy brew – as long as I limit it to two or three I’ll be good to go.
Vodka, especially flavored, is not my style. I’ve never heard of that beer before. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.

With what, flu, minor cold, etc?
by CaptainAwesome on Oct 22, 2009 10:44 AM EDT reply actions
Obviously it’s going to remain undisclosed. Whatever it is (I’d assume flu), he’d better not have given it to the rest of the team. (Dream on, I know.)
Bets on who gets sick next? My money is on Flash.

That’s what I ended up doing.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
(Had the 27th pick, and have played one year, lost in the SC Finals, game seven, in OT =(), but they are…
Vanek – Kopitar – Ryder
Avery – O Jokinen – Grabner
Hagman – Turris – Skille
C. Bourque – Peca – Upshall
R. Whitney – M. Green
M. Gragnani – A. Pietrangelo
T. Peckham – R. Hainsey
Mason

Scratch – S. Lepisto.
On the farm, I have L. Sbisa and M. Mayorov as my prize prospects, but anything can happen.

niiiice. surprised how high a potential they gave Turris.
by ns on Oct 22, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Me too. He’ll be my second line center next season, likely, as I’m hard pressed against the cap, and Kopitar’s in a contract year (And I’m willing to deal Jokinen to keep him). What do you have, ns?
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
i ended up drafting at 5th spot:
Semin-E.Staal-Franzen
Duschene-Marleau-Erat
Lucic-Cullen-Burrows
Nokeleinen/rookiePWF-Betts-Grier
Markov-Bieksa
Hedman-Lydman
Lilja-Krastins
Bryzgalov
Pavelec
was dead set on drafting Duschene and Hedman, even if it meant passing on higher overall talents.
some decent talent on the farm with B- to B+ potential. The rookie draft treated me well!

There’s nothing wrong with a team that has Lucic on it’s THIRD line.

Semin is sick with something swine so no swinging sticks he’ll be sedentary.
See Semin Saturday since this swine should be seriously surmountable. Stay sedulous near Savannah, Semin.

Semin dressed but had an accident that had to be cleaned up at the first intermission…
…he did not return for the second period.
If you've read this far...seek help.

Keith Aucoin had better play a little more solid in his own end than last time.
I’m undercaffeinated, but are these our bottom three lines tonight?
Laich-Mo-Fehr
Giroux-Steckel-Clark
Q-Aucoin-Brads
I’m undercaffeinated, but underwhelmed.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Giroux and Fehr swapped, but that looks about right.

by Whiter Mage on Oct 22, 2009 12:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Nah. Giroux plays LW or C, IIRC. Fehr is a RW. I have to think that BB knew that this was going to happen yesterday if Semin couldn’t go, so I have to think that the lines from yesterday were a pretty good pointer.
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But, if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. If you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
if Fehr’s really a RW, why’d Laugher and Joe spend a whole 2 minutes talking about how he is a LW, but they put him on the RW his first game to help with his defense? I dunno, most wingers can transition fine.

Not quite. I’d have to put 20 and 33 together, and since Nyls was centering the third yesterday while Steckel was on the fourth, so I think you’re going to see:
21-9-16
33-20-17
53-39-10

Laich-Mo-Fehr makes sense to me.
I’d expect Laing-Steckel-Clark or Laing-Steckel-Brads to be the shutdown line, and to get 3rd line minutes.
Giroux-Aucoin-Clark/Steckel will probably round it out 7-10 minutes.

then Keith Aucoin had really better step up his game. Not a whole ton of defensive accountability emanating from that 3rd line.
Big chance for 16 tonight methinks, before BB’s Tickle-Me-Fleischmann gets better. Hopefully he’ll get some looks on the PP as well.

TSN.ca ranks ATL 5th in power rankings- “the Thrashers have been getting positive results despite getting burned in the shots against department, being outshot by an average of 10.4 shots per game”.
Holy Crap.
