Morning chaps.   


What, no Corey Perry?   

[alta]

Chicago does have this Bedard kid

[Surreylily]

What songs do you think we should sing to serenade Bedard?

Does your mother know, ABBA?

I saw mommy kissing Santa?  (keeping it festive)

Mrs. Robinson, Simon n Garfunkel

 

[alta]

Mrs Robinson would probably piss him off, and his teammates

[Surreylily]

Mrs Robinson would probably piss him off, and his teammates

Yup   

[Mickstix]

Oh Hell yes!! A Power Play!! 

[Surreylily]

K has passed the 2 minute mark.........     

[alta]

that was definitely a trip, can’t complain

[capsfanpdx]

21 looking more and more like a power forward

[alta]

so was that..

[Surreylily]

Gonna be one of them games, huh.   

[alta]

ya can’t kick it in son

[Surreylily]

Why can't we get a decent PP coach?

[capsfanpdx]

Man the divide between Charlie and Darcy just keeps growing.....

[Surreylily]

Come on fellas.  A bit of forward action please

[Surreylily]

Man the divide between Charlie and Darcy just keeps growing.....

In what way?
I mean neither are perfect, are they?  They are almost polar opposites.  I initially thought that K was the older one and Lindy was the sprog, the way they played     

[alta]

The team needs a new goalie coach.

[Surreylily]

 


The first two and last two minutes of every period is when I get most nervous when K is in net.   

[Mickstix]

On the bright side, Kuemper made it through the 1st.  Need to finish a couple of these chances. Ovi, sometime this season!
