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.

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.

Obviously the best lines for tonight would be:
8-20-10
53-9-17
33-39-16
53-19-22
I mean, right?

Balanced lack of scoring?

I’m pretty sure any team with Q-Laing on two lines is effed.

Quadrupole shift time!
One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.

Obviously. We all know that only Brooks Laich can play every position at once, on each line. He just needs the rest of the team to help in the hunt.

Thanks for making me nearly spit my water at the screen :)

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.

zero v. Preds
2:53 v. SJS (when we spent nearly half the 1st period, literally, on the PP).

Did you know...
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.

Corey’s tweets are awesome that way.
