Dropped balls and shoddy play calling is never a good combo. Hopefully the D can keep them in the game until the O gets their heads out of their butts.

mfw I need Elliot and Ertz to combine for 7 points for me to win my matchup this week and I'm (frank)ing nervous about it

Still got another half, they are a better team than they've shown so far. D needs to come up big one more time this half and at worst only give up 3.

Edit: that's not the way to do it

D has been solid. Can't complain about giving up 9 points in a half

This is a poopty football game so far.

Dougie Fresh needs to rip wentz a new on he's playing like ass

Elliot goes to the locker room evaluating his head

Ertz at least gets me a catch

This team better sprint into the locker room, good god

Got to meet Provy today, who was pretty genuine. You could tell he was a bit wide eyed when it came to it, but before the cameras and huge lines we were just shooting the poop. Maybe that's because I was similar in age and not hitting him with rapid fire questions, but he was a pretty cool guy. We actually ended up talking a little about Gudas' impending suspension and what he'd like to see happen with the D. I asked I wonder if we see big Sam and he smiled and said "I wouldn't complain about it!" Then he mentioned Amac was skating, and at the end of the day he's "comfortable playing with anyone out there".

Got other autographs from Myers, Sanheim, Morin, NAK, Martel, Coots, and Laughton. Jake was clowning, but unfortunately he had to leave before I could beat him in the ladder throw. Coots was pretty good at it, I was no match for him. I jokingly asked him why he had his teeth in and he joked back he's gotta look good for the girls

NAK and Martel were having a blast- they were together near one of the games on the ice. They were totally soaking up the attention. Morin too, he was by himself mobbed by people. You couldn't miss him though. Big smiles and outgoing personalities. Martel caught a stick in the eye a few games ago apparently, and I pointed it out and he said "yeah someone was trying to make me look mean I guess". As I was leaving NAK and Martel I said hope to see you guys with the big boys soon and they both went "oh buddy you have no idea".

I beat Sanheim in cornhole. Just saying. He was kind of a character, trying to distract me as I was throwing. Laughton was kind of shy, but still had no problems interacting when it came down to it. He was Sanheim's partner for cornhole. Me and some staff volunteer guy took them down. Stick a fork in em both.

Konecny was clowning around too, but I didn't have time to meet him. He was laughing a lot though and so were the people coming to see him. He seems like a real character, it's not surprising he gets under peoples' skin on the ice with how much he talks off of it!

I also saw Jonesy, took a pic with him and wished him a belated birthday. He said "I've gotten a lot of those, I guess that's what happens when you get old!" I laughed and said don't be so hard on yourself you could still play with these guys to which he said "yeah I'd slash them then sit in the box all game" Saw Coatsey in passing, shook his hand. Took a pic with Bernie as well, such a nice dude. Not the first time I've met him but I never get tired of it- nobody has that genuinely happy twinkle in their eyes like Bernie.

Got glimpses of G, Simmer, Ghost, and Patrick as they came out from the locker room when I was waiting for Provy. Patrick had on leather high top Converse and skinny jeans with his jersey. It's easy to forget some of these guys are 19-23 yrs old, and I had to chuckle at that glaringly 19 yr old fashion choice. He was stopped by a few elementary schoolers waiting for their own respective players, and happily obliged autographs and a quick picture.

This was my first carnival. Hopefully not my last but definitely my most memorable. Hopefully some of these guys end up being good so I can use that puck to pay off my loans

Late but that was a cool read! Sounded awesome!

Gudas got 10 game suspension. Will miss 9 as he served one already. I’m sure we won’t call anyone up if AMac ready by Tuesday and Alt will be 7th on D. Think it’s time to accept outside of a rash of injuries, Hextall is not going to bring up Morin to play or any other forward top prospects

Eagles offense sucks tonight.

I might be biased but 10 games for Gudas is extreme. Brad Marchand can slew foot players left and right and he doesn't get anything. I still maintain that he lost his balance and it was accidental. This is costing Gudas 400K

8 rushes in the first half

10 games is ridiculous..
I'm sorry.
I thought 5 would have been good but 10 is a joke

Agree about Marchand, but disagree about Gudas.

we have no place kicker the rest of the game

have faith in Clement i guess

that was creative on the conversion

Just means they go for it or go for 2

Unless they think it's intentional...then 10 is about right....guys past played a big part.

yeah which isnt exactly ideal...going on fourth and 4 instead of kicking an easy field goal is such a big difference

we have no place kicker the rest of the game

Ok, I’m not a huge football fan. Explain to me why the punter isn’t the backup field goal kicker?

But the backup linebacker has similar skills? It wouldn’t make sense to have the punter practice a few field goals periodically. What else does he have to do all week?

I dont disagree with you. Maybe thr linebacker has a soccer background which would make him more suitable as a kicker. Our punter has never once attempted a field goal in 14 years in the league

choo choo!!!
