Damn Carlson has a good shot.

[ArJunaZ]

   Yes you do Alta. You may not think so.

Says the Grand Poobah of people button pushing.

Are you saying this without laughing?   ‘Cause I am.  First thought that came to mind was “pot....meet kettle.”

[ArJunaZ]

Meh! It's OK for a hockey player and a defenseman.

  Hell no I'm not kidding. Alta pushes my buttons all the time. Oh and for the record guys I never said I didnt push buttons. Ive tried to be civil with Alta. We even discussed it via pm but he refuses.

[ArJunaZ]

He's by far not the only one guilty of this during this game, but that last pass by 74 was heartless and effort-less (as in lacking effort) and failed.

    Wish I had a shot like that when I played. My slapshot was a joke.

   I can't defend him because I didnt see it.

When I played my slapshot was a legend .. . . . . . .  (in my own mind).  I was awesome! I wish you all could have seen me, but I don't share my dreams.

  When was that? 1920?

[ArJunaZ]

I can't understand why we look so discombobulated after the third game of the season. We've somehow misplaced that crisp heartened play that got us the cup and 18 goals in three games.

[Mickstix]

My slapshot was something to behold as well.. Scored 9x one day in gym class!! The girl playing goalie wasn't impressed.. 

[ArJunaZ]

I don't know. My dreams never show me a date.  It appeared more modern though because the goalies were wearing masks.

Probably cause we keep getting a week off between back to backs. I think they'll find their stride (or we'll see how bad the limp is) starting tonight and going forward, as the schedule kind of looks normal for a bit.

I'm going to propose that you push your own buttons in reaction to Alta's posts. This is what any psychologists or counselor would tell you.
And to be honest, I don't even see much or anything to get worked up over in Alta's posts. You kind of invite the little button pushing that comes your way. I think you enjoy the friction Maaco.

Just speaking real.

ETA
I want to add that I want you to know that I still love your presence here. It's definitely not boring.

they never are, that's why you gotta pull the pig tails

[Mickstix]

lol. Is that what the kids are calling it these days? I "pulled" my share! Wait, that didn't sound right..

Agreed Mick. We always get trash by the scheduler makers of the NHL, with several long layoffs between games even when we aren't back to backing. It's just odd stuff. There shouldn't be any stretch where any team has more than 3 days off in an NHL season imo. Otherwise though I think we've looked fine in fits and starts. I mean the Toronto game we looked fine most of the game, other than a few minutes in that third. The Devils game we looked off entirely, but otherwise it's not been that bad of a star in terms of hockey. It's just finding the consistency again for a whole game. As you said, as we normalize with schedule we should be able to find our pace again I feel.

[alta]

   Yes you do Alta. You may not think so.

No, I really don't. You just assume it's all about you. I'm sure even up in the tundra you've heard the saying about using the word assume. As far as using the name Dylan goes, it was a well earned nickname and will take more than 3/4 of a season to overcome it. And, I'm being far more polite with you than I normally would with someone that's intentionally being an asshole towards me because of the extra line under my screen name, but by all means keep pushing it
