Can you imagine this board if we have a start like SJ? Oof!

I imagine it would sound a lot like the last 48 hours have.

I’m just really interested to see how many different lineups we all can come up with.

The bright side is that Dach hasn’t played a game, so we can’t say he sucks yet.

Sure we can. The (frank)ing loser can't even get on the ice.

Used to crack me up when the board would crap on Q for the "line blender" while posting 3539 combos themselves.

Still could happen.

The teams we will be facing will have several games under their belts by then. In the meanwhile we will be going in with underwhelming preseason games and one regular season one.

I’m not saying it can’t or won’t happen. Just love the immediate “year the whole thing down” responses.

But how about all that practice time til Thursday to learn the system?

Maybe Trubisky isn't that bad after all.

Watching the Bears game, there's not enough toilet paper in the world to wipe the poop off my screen. This is tough to watch.

Not on my tv, it's not.

I got DirecTV.

Hope the Pack loses to Dallas later. It's on Fox at 3:25.

I got my fingers crossed for that too.

I’ve been listening to the game outside on little radio on AM - kicking it old school while I test out a new tailgate/camping grill. I don’t want to turn it on my TV - I might have to bleach my eyes afterword.

Oh man, I take it all back. Please Mitch come back soon and I’ll never complain about you overthrowing a receiver ever again.

(Which is a lie, because I’ll bust his balls the first time he does it.)

Sounds like a good time, Chieffy. Enjoy yourself. The game might be doing a 180, in a good way.

Yep, gift turnover converted for 7. Now the offense has to put a drive together.

Am out of town, and was watching at a bar before headed to the airport.

They were down 17-0, now up 21-17. Too bad the airport doesn’t have the game on anywhere.

That turned ugly quickly.

Yep. 3-2 and some questionable performances. This was a projected playoff team. Some things need to improve if that’s still going to happen.

Pagano should be fired after this game. Ball run down the Bears throat and he continues to stay in dime with 2 down linemen. Two double teams in side. Leave a tackle on Mack and a TE on Floyd. Watch the raiders oline push 5 yards down field.

Yeah, that was a nice play by both players. Kurashev to not be denied the puck in the neutral zone by multiple Flyers (not in that clip) then get it deep before dishing a perfect pass to Sikura who cut through the middle to a dangerous shooting area.

That line of Kurashev centering Sikura and Saarela could be something. They were quiet in the opening period but heated up in the 2nd and 3rd.

Kurashev and Sikura both have great vision, hockey sense, and playmaking ability yet are still defensively responsible. Pretty consistent compete level, too.

While not great without the puck, Saarela can be lethal with it so he gives Kurashev and Sikura a capable triggerman.

Said it before and I'll say it again, AHL players are not the answer, Smith and Carpenter would kick their asses.
