Inexperienced backup goalies have backup-type games with coachable mistakes.

Teams that are an 'easy' opponent come out with fire under their ass and surprise.

I thought Sparks was 'par' in that he battled back and some of the goals weren't his fault.

That one goal where he was on his knees too long was his fault but that's what coaching is for.

Honestly I'm not surprised that he got beat on the winner. I could see if coming and he wasn't square to the shooter and looked kinda all over the place for much of the game.

Oh well, better luck next time.

What up, homies?

Remember the Kapanan and 1st(Eventual Liljegren pick) trade proposals that everyone said was ok to send out to get a top 4 D like Tanev?

I do. Sometimes management knows what they are doing

Godamnit i read they were injured after car crash

Stop scaring me.

Your lose

My money is on nylander driving today. Probably driving on the wrong side of the road. Spent to much time in Sweden apparently.

How is having a tough guy gonna stop people hitting Matthews and Marner. That's nonsensical jibberish.

Yeah it's not, it's just going to make other players have to fight.

Remember that rumour that was bubbling in the summer that Rick Nash might sign here during the season if he was healthy enough?

Guess that's not happening if he's tied to the same deadline Babelander was.

Giordano gets a hearing with the Disciplinary Committee for what he did (somehow) and Dumba gets nothing for jumping and hitting Backlund in the head? Wow.

EDIT: Giordano actually just got suspended.

We have no proof that Dubas isn't even just a giant praying mantis disguised as an NHL general manager.

We need to wait and see if he mates with someone and then kills them, then for sure we got a mantis in the house.

in sweden they drive on the right side..

you'd think he'd crash more in Sweden, with all the babes there it would be hard to focus on the road.

Do you stay down when you go to Detroit? Go out at night? Any good restaurants nearby?

I usually just drive thru Detroit, never actually do anything there.

white people countries that drive on the left are Britian and Australia..

I mean, Ireland too, but (frank) those Richards they're pretty much brits anyways.

And New Zealand is pretty much Australia

Apparently there's a new rule. Laine isn't allowed to get hit. It's an automatic penalty.

What a (frank)ing joke.
