The Thread! The Thread!!!


 




Thanks Alta

[richkrt99]

Glad to see Backy and Willy both in the lineup.


I see Eller is IR-concussion...is that just protocol or a diagnosis?  Where do you find that info?  (maybe click the supplied links dipshit)
That fucker who hit him better get a Willy-like suspension for that hit.


Oshie at Center...(well THAT should help our faceoff percentage)
No Jensen on D....I'm cool with that (although he seemed a decent fit with Chara so far)  Seemed to me maybe this year's playing style was more suited to him (as opposed to real tight D)


Anderson in goal.  Figured it was coming but Van the Man gives us a better shot at winning I think.  I'm guessing they want him for Boston Saturday and maybe giving him a rest since the last two games were pretty high work load.


GO CAPS!

Let's GO CAPS!



Yeah, Jensen has looked good this year.  testing stuff out I presume.

Better brew some coffee on the bench to keep that old man awake in the goal tonight.  Probably should get some cortisone shots for his joints too.

if he needed cortisone, it should’ve been done a day or two ago. He’s the perfect guy for the mandatory taxi squad. He’s at the end of his career and he knows it. But he still needs a few games to keep him reliable. You don’t want a young guy that needs work sitting on his ass all season.

I have not seen any mention of Komarov getting a disciplinary call/meeting for injuring Eller.

Hola people!  Ander son huh?. We'll see.. Glad Willy and Nicky are back! Bummer Eller is out. Payback needs to be on the menu! 

[Mickstix]

Nope, that's Vanecek in goal. Who does these GTD's anyway?

18 seconds apart

    Can't fault anyone on the first goal. It was a total fluke. But that 2nd goal was ugly.

[richkrt99]

Well the good news is that's all the goals the Isles can muster for an entire game 

[richkrt99]

unless there is a PP 

[Mickstix]

Now a penalty.. Just start getting some payback ya pussies!! 

[richkrt99]

Jesus that's a BS call

[richkrt99]

I feel a shortie coming....
