Out of the three Martin may be his best option. I have a feeling the Isles will be smart and decline.
- JimmyP

I think so too. Although Martin may still have the aggravating injury so he might decline such a fight with no need.

Looks like a few guys have responded. But it’s an African celebration that happens around Christmas and New Years. Not sure what they celebrate.

Yep. I first heard about it in the early 90’s. A professor in college was telling our class a little bit about it. They don’t exchange gifts. It’s about family and food, she said.

Not surprised that I hadn’t heard of it. Very few folks in my area of African decent. Probably cause they’ve more sense than the rest of us.

Now Pelech is an ice time leader FYI. I was just concerned he might have been a covid victim based on 1st period ice time. Doesn’t seem that way.

Kind of reminds me of 53 a bit. A good depth player for sure. Seems to be getting more comfortable. Actually a lot of the younger guys seem to be imo. Maybe a small blessing in all the horsesh!t this team has been dealing with being able to give these guys a few spins. Bellows really gaining confidence imo too.
- streaks


Yeah, maybe they keep him to jump on the wing if needed. I have said Bellows has played with a lot of confidence the few games before this break. We are aligned on him for sure.

Wow did know you guys were fighting it.

Mild symptoms? All Vaxed? We had a Xmas outbreak of 18 of 20 guests. So I’m sitting here with Covid. All were vaxed and most with boosters.

It’s insane how many people I know effected by this new strain. I hardly knew anyone a month ago, now every day I hear of a couple. All mild cases thankfully.

Yes my wife and two daughters had it. My son and I remained unscathed. All mild symptoms. Holy smokes 18 of 20 is insane, but doesn’t surprise me with how many folks I know are getting it. Maybe this will be the last blast if it seeing so many are getting it along with all who are vaccinated. My wife had booster two months ago (teacher) and daughters too young but have both shots.
