Hell yah, I was just listening to that but now I'm listening to Emperor because I am grim over no Giroux or St. Louis.

I was actually jamming Ihsahn's 'After' at work today...topical.
Quo Vadis time...some of the best Tech Death to come out of QC.

You want grim stuff, nothing like Funeral Doom. Start with Esoteric 'Disconsolate' and go from there. That and Colosseum works for any breakup or downer...sometimes the depths always make things better.

Hell yah..Ihsahn and Akerfeldt on Unhealer is great..

Nice, Im a fan of funeral doom bands like Mournful Congregation. Good stuff to listen to when you are on a conf call and people just drone on.

Typically it is stuff like Ulcerate, Dissection, Edge of Sanity and Gorguts in one ear and a 30m conference call in the other. Got to look up MC...that's a new one.
Evoken is also great for bringing one out of the abyss of hockey disappointment. Worked for most of Calgarys games this yr
Likely sensnucksnocups gets excited when Fuel gets played at every hockey game.

A couple weeks ago on HNIC, I believe it was Friedman that said the Canadian brass already had selected a "taxi squad" if any was injured prior to the Olympics. Of the 4 forwards he mentioned, Giroux was not one.

The 4 forwards were;

St.Louis
E.Staal
Neal
Hall

Goalie was Crawford

The 3 defensemen were:

Seabrook
M.Staal

Can't remember the 3rd one, but I think it was Giordano.

Whether they select outside of what Friedman reported.....I guess we will see.

he shouldn't.
You can make a case for either St. Louis or Giroux.
If you go with them needing another pure sniper then you could make a case for Neal also.

Why? Because everyone feels bad for him?

There are better options. If they take MSL it's 100% because of media and politics, which is bullpoop.

MSL should have made the roster over some other players maybe, but he's not the best replacement for Stamkos.

- FinAddict


It should be St Louis because he is the reigning Hart trophy winner.

The media was shocked that he was not on this team. That's why he got the attention he got.

His stats this year show that he should be on the team.
25 goals 29 assists and +16 even without Stammer on the line for the majority of the season.

He's a stud, and a leader. It would be a mistake not to have him on the team now.

Briere has 9 8 17 in 12+mpg over 44 games
Benched and also bunch of games of less than 10 mpg

He hasnt been treated the best with a combo of finding the right fit of linemates

I wouldnt say significant but Im sure there a call or 2 has been placed

- MTL1


Sure there could be a call or 2 on Briere, but that's a lot different than what Eklund is saying.

It was Gio. And good job reporting the actual facts.

Hall would also be a great addition.

Marty's career shooting percentage is 13.6%
Giroux's is 11.9%

Your arguments aren't holding weight here.

- jtommyt

I thought G's would have been higher.

Either way, the fact that he's right handed still gives him the edge over St. Louis.
