Glad to see you've returned to bring a little sanity to this joint. How does the GA column look lately?

I'm just gonna pour my first one all over my own shirt; break the ice and get it out of the way, like a staged fight in the NHL.

Once years ago at the old Comiskey 2 of my cousins and I were sitting out in the center field bleachers. It was a late afternoon game and so of course beer was being consumed. Three times I got up and went to get us more. Every time I came back, shuffle stepping down the aisle, I spilled beer on the same guy. The used to fill the cups to the freaking brim and any kind of tilt and splash. Needless to say, we moved after the third time.

All 3 of their posters will be thrilled.

Edit. Seems fitting we should welcome him.

Does anyone in their right mind expect him to be? He's a heart and soul player, the kind that every good team has in a supporting role. He's hockey smart and has a history as a winner in college.

Don't undervalue what the 4th line is doing, however. With the 3rd line not playing well, it would be real easy for Q to have the first line out there 25 minutes a night. The fact that the 4th line can not only eat minutes, but also produce positive shifts for momentum, is huge. If the 3rd and 4th lines were both down under 10 minutes a game, you would be looking at the top line being totally gassed when the post season arrives, similar to 2011 and 2012.

It's been bad the last 5, though I don't really feel like doing the numbers I'll do them later. I'm curious to know who's gotten traded by the board though?

Everyone except Saad, I'm sure.

Edit: maybe not Raanta this week either.

I was talking about Frolik not Smith. I have a man crush on Ben Smith. They're also the third line, and problem the second most important line on the team. They play tough minutes and deal with top players well. If everything works out with prospects I'd love to see a Saad-Kruger-Smith line be our 3rd line of the future.

Its been ridiculous.....Bickell mostly but he has less trade value than a light switch right now.

Don't forget Leddy. Though I would.

Flames leading the Sharks 2-0 after 2. Great. They won't be pissed. At all.
