It would help if they (Armia at least) could get the biscuit in the basket with more regularity. Armia just came off an upper body injury and last night he was very impressive. The goals will come.

I'm hoping to see Gringo look comfortable in the game played at NHL speed.

He's back with the bigs tonight after a quick overnight er in ROC.

Back in the day, my favs were Seger, Zeppelin, Boston, Eagles, Rush, Heart and even Queen. I always thought Freddie Mercury had the greatest voice in rock and nobody could play a guitar better than Clapton, maybe Jeff Beck.

Love your taste in music.

I've also started watching Deadwood. Think I'm through episode 8 of season 1 so far.

I HATE westerns in general, so never wanted to watch this, but it's great.

Good. Gonna take a couple games to get going with new linemates. Look how long it took for the guys on the team since Oct to get used to each other.

I will just say quietly that before they became MTV darlings, there was a little old ass-kicking band from Texas that could rock with anyone.

I'm a 70s baby, so I didn't see them early, but I'm so happy I got to see them a few times, and all were "Evening with Rush" concerts, so 2.5+ hours of JUST them.

I kind of fell off after Test for Echo, but made sure I owned everything prior.

I didn't think he played that badly the other night. He had some good shifts and played pretty well defensively. He seems more rounded into his game now, at both ends.

I think he looked ok but he appeared to be overthinking the game instead of just letting it happen.

Maybe he can get Hodge going . He played well with him during the preseason.

Me thinks Hodge is bummed/pissed he isn't the guy to lead the team anymore with what Guss has accomplished

NF Convention Center, Fandango tour. (76-77?) I still ask if the ringing in my ears is bothering anyone after that one.

Hodgson seems so lost, don't know why. He shows little interest if he's pushed to the 3rd/4th lines. I'd throw him in a trade and let us eat some salary there.

Not sure how the brass communicates with the players but I really think he was expecting Grigs to be his linemate. Not sure what else . Just a hunch.

Maybe so. Seems like if he's not in top 6, he doesn't much care or put forth the effort. Maybe it's a Nolan thing with him. You can't trade him, his value is so low. Only way he gets moved is if he's added in a deal and we eat some of his cap hit. He's the worst Sabre forward defensively.

Will do.

What time frame do you all feel like GMTM may make a decision on player movement to be either buyers or sellers? also do they trade some guys to help bring back the tank?

Yeah I thought he read the play well and was playing defensively responsible. Just a poor skater. Needs to get stronger on his skates and a touch faster.
