Pre game says Phillips is in Kuzys spot, coach didn’t want to mess with the other lines.

[Mickstix]

Yep. They're the 3rd line now though. The Smurf line! lol

[alta]

Information I saw this afternoon before the injury announcement had them as line 3. The same place also had lines 2 and 3 flipped for Pilly.

Hathy is back

[Mickstix]

Edmnundson knocked himself out saying hello to Hathy. 

6 minutes in. Not sure we've actually had possession of the puck yet? 

[Mickstix]

PP. Only took bout 90 seconds to get set up.    LordaMercy..

[Mickstix]

I mean, we're not playing bad. Just not good. lol


WAKE UP LILLY!!!! GAME'S ON!!! 

[Surreylily]

Morning chaps.   

[Surreylily]

Lost track of time   
still I'm here now, we can start playing.....   

[Surreylily]

Looks like I didn't miss much.

[Mickstix]

We need to go 6 on 4 during the PP. Fuck needs a goalie anyway. 

[Surreylily]

Where's Alan May?   

[Mickstix]

Dunno. They had Tarik El Bashir (reporter) in his spot for pregame.

[Surreylily]

Hope he's not been hanging out with Kuzy.
