Dubois and Sandin will not play tonight. Injuries.


Chisholm in for Sandin. It appears Frank is still in over Milano. No word on the open slot Sandin held on PP2.

I guess the price of players is just going up, but for the life of me I can't see why they gave Sandin 4.6m x 5  :huh: I mean, he's not terrible or anything, but what does he actually do that warrants that much money? Maybe cause he could fill in most anywhere? He skates ok, passes ok, plays D ok.. Nothing stands out (to me) though. Weird




And still no Lilly?? WTF? She meet a man who only likes soccer?? Gave up on the Caps?? Kick the bucket?? Nobody knows? Nobody cares? The fuck man.. I disappear for the first couple weeks to start the season, send out a search party!! Im probably decomposing, stinkin up the living room.. :raspberry: :-(

Yeah I dunno, worried a little.


YOU...wouldnt be the living room, it'd be lying in the bottom of the boat, and that's not so bad.  If you feel "It's the big one Elizabeth", stand up and roll over the side, fish gotta eat too  ;)

it’s awfully early in the game to lose a D man, van Riemsdyk to the locker room after taking a puck to the face
