I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the poop kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time. Now I can't do it for ya, I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I, uh, I've pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff. You find out life's this game of inches, so is hockey. Because in either game - life or hockey - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite make it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the f*cking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's hockey guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?

I feel like I just saw Al Pacino say (most of) this during Game 2.

sounds silly, but when i go alone - i try to sit in the lowest level possible. Makes me feel a bit safer in enemy territory.

Just trying to spark the team before this big game tonight...

This is what I would say to Giroux tonight:

"You're the goddamn leader G! You know what that means? It's the top spot, kid. It's the guy who takes the fall. It's the guy everybody's looking at first - the leader of a team - who will support you when they understand you. Who will break their ribs and their noses and their necks for you, because they believe. 'Cause you make them believe. That's a leader G".

But seriously gerbes not that tall

Still picking one out. Probably Club level (they are the only ones going for below face) - and hey free food and drink!

You?
- deligirl83

The free food and drink is actually a pretty good deal. And you're less likely to run into trouble in the Fire and Ice seats. Not that I think of the D'Evils fans as a particularly unruly bunch. But if you're upstairs, you may see the guys who come to the games in full gear (except for skates, of course). Complete wackadoos.

I feel good now that we got that out of the way. The boys should be fired up and ready to play.

What is that from?

The ripeness of the banana is key here though.

I sat downstairs several times at the Byrne/Continental Airlines Arena. Folks were throwing popcorn at us. So light. So fluffy. So hurtful.

Is it from the lesser known Super Mario Bros 2?
