Smith-Pelly is in studio for the pre game.

[Surreylily]

Smelly looks like he's eaten a couple of his teamates.

  What, Lil don't like her neighbors?? Fascinating..

I was halfassed listening to the pregame, could’ve sworn they said Kuemper was starting. But that’s not the official information.

[Surreylily]

Definitely Lindy.

[Mickstix]

Only took em' 1:46 to get the PP setup. 

[Mickstix]

Eek. Time to call up Iorio or Mcilrath. 

[Mickstix]

Only took em' 1:46 to get the PP setup. 

Didn't get setup at all that time.

1 period down.. could be better, could be much worse

[Surreylily]

A lot of running around with nothing to show for it so far.

[Mickstix]

Shocked to see Jensen back. His leg did some weird shit when he went into the wall.


2 ofer PP's and a hit post on Strome's break.. Shit like that will come back to haunt ya vs good teams like Fl.

[Mickstix]

I was saying.. 0-1
