3pm 4pm and no word on lines, so I just put in last nights

[alta]

I think I’ve figured out the nhl injury classifications. A concussion is the head. Upper body is from the base of the skull to the nipples. Lower body is from the nipples down.


 

[richkrt99]

So an elbow or hand injury is lower body? 


about right for NHL

[Mickstix]

From looking at the Oshie tape, I'd guess he cracked or tore a nut muscle.

about right for NHL

hands are connected to the body above the nipples

5pm announcement has Carlson still out and the only question is Snively or McMichael. The coach said they are “still working on things”

 

[Mickstix]

Snively is better then McMike at RW.. They may give him one more shot before sending him down, but I feel like they'll play Snively, send McMike down and bring up Milano before the next game. (I cheated, I read a RMNB article on what they could do) 

[alta]

Snively in McMike out, not sure what that does to the lines yet

[richkrt99]

Snively is small for an NHL'r these days.  5'-9" and 175 lbs  NOt too many of those around (unless you got wheels like Sheary) or wheels and hands like Johnny Gaudreau (which snively don't)  Plus he is 26 so has to clear waivers to move him up and down.


I keep forgetting McMike is only 21 because he has been around so much.  All the easier to move him back and forth to AHL.


Mealstrom seems like a nice fit on the fourth line.  He is 6'-3 and 200 lbs, and likes to hit people.  He has played well in his chances.


They gonna bring Pepperidge Farm cookies to come play?

Evening chaps.
 

[Mickstix]

Mojo!


Mornin' hun!

[Surreylily]

  What's this?
We got a new PP coach?
 

[Surreylily]

The luck of the blue Caps jacket worked within seconds of me putting it on.   

[richkrt99]

you know the Volcano was shooting that into the pads and the Vegas D tip it up and over the goalie. 


I'll take it.


Mick - kiss my sister all you want tonight.  Catch yuns later.

Hi Lil 


Bye Lil

[Mickstix]

Another embarrassing night in the dot. Guess there's no hope for helping that stat.

[alta]

I would not call that boarding

[justwincaps]

Hola everyone. - can’t believe they actually made it a minor instead of the 5 min major.
