Well, let me try it this way

WHAT LOOKS UPLIFTING or EXHILARATING in this thread? What looks like anybody easing any burden from my shoulders?

I was trying to make fun of all the dopes who come in here and rain all over everything all day. Holy smoke it's like nobody ever put a tongue in cheek before.

Whew, I thought I was totally reading that wrong.

I was seriously worried that you were coming HERE for positivity.

As a Calvinist I was getting ready to PM you. Just in case....

I didn't fully get what bylsma's trying to say...from what I've seen so far this season, gus has been playing much better than last season...

and one thing I really hate hearing is when a management-type (or coach in this matter) says work smarter, not harder...

working smarter has gotten this team where exactly?...nine games in a row of two goals or less?
- Michael Pachla

Maybe someone should remind "the Coach" Bylsma, work smarter not harder.

cause some of the crap he does is DUMB......

Would start the blame on the goalie , then the D and THEN the forwards.

putting the fourth line out with :40 seconds left in the second period of a 2-1 game wasn't the greatest of moves by Bylsma...he has a little too much faith in grant and his wingers

Work harder to be smarter.

I am a Keynesian. In the long run, we're all dead.

In fact, some of us are just short termers. (Fewer still have already been there and come back.)

in my work settings I've often felt that when a higher up says "work smarter not harder" it's a corporate euphemism for passing the workload onto hourlies

its probably just me

2-1/2 more hours till beer time

Me too. Ssshhhhh....I'm at work.

- cabin

that line has been having trouble for a couple of games now...overwhelmed much of the time

That shift was the only time I heard his name. Not sure what his ice time was but I'd bet it was not a lot. Just his production in Rochester should warrant a bigger look up here, especially with our D not even having a goal yet.

Franson scored last night.

Right. I like him Franson over Gorges and still think Fedun can help, even though our exalted defense got on the scoresheet for the first time last night.

Lots of armchair coaches. Did you guys send your resumes to Tim Murray?

Ristolainen may switch back to the stick he used last year. I would I swear he brakes one every game.

Ok all you deplorable s I'm out till Monday See ya

Or maybe he doesn't have any faith in the others...

I can't even work up the whatever to say that I'm a Nihilist.

Has anybody ever read Nihilist Arby's? It's some fantastically funny stuff. And some really, really dark, out there stuff too.
