Nope, mom threatened, I mean...offered us turkey tonight, but we went out to eat. The person below me hopes that Lilja doesn't go with Lucic tomorrow night.

There's that first line!

May not need them, but if he's going to be our Man, it can't hurt to get some tips. That said, Lilja will Kilja.

Go Lilja That's our boy!

That's 2 assists for Sammy tonight!

Wings need an enforcer. Downey would be the best, but in his absence, and without Mac, we have Lilja. He may not be the biggest or the best, but he's out there. People may bash him, bash Downey, bash Mac... but they do their best.

Whew! Ozzie! Keep it up, babe!

1-1

Ozzzzzzie! Nice save!

QFT, especially the bolded part.

He's all we've got. He may be a joke, but daggnabbit, he's OUR joke. And he's TRYING, which is more than can be said for a number of others out there. He's sticking up for our boys. Go Pain Train!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Good for him. He's been needing one. Way to screen him, Mule.

Go gettem Lilja- come on refs- let them play!

Wings in about 2 minutes, Wings tomorrow. What else is there in life? The person below me loves Vernor's. (Would you believe that out here it's a "gourmet item" and costs between 3.50 and 6 bucks for a 6-pack?

I'm too broke to start, but I have to get going. Maybe the light bill will have to wait. I've warned people I'm going cheap this year. I think I'll make presents for the Sunday School kids. I don't know. The person below me is visiting relatives and ready to head home because they know that there is so much to do there that they can't relax and are rambling stressedly.

I don't really understand it. The person below me is full of traditional Thanksgiving fare.

Happy Birthday to my favourite goalie. :goalie1:

I've never liked olives of any colour, and so have never put them on my fingers or I'd have had to eat them. The person below me still has both tonsils and appendix. (I lost the tonsils.)

Nope. I'll be getting gas tomorrow, but that's it. None much moola to buy stuff anyway. Fortunately, I have beets. The person below me prefers wet stuffing to dry.

Going with Lilja for the hot hand. Wings take it 4-1 Sammy, Dats/Hossa, Hootie, Lilja (Wings with 24 PIM) A Sedin (Nucks with 8 PIM)

I'm ready as I'll ever be. Just have to work a couple more days, pack up myself and the hamster, and head down to the folks'. The person below me knows how to multiply matrices.

Nope- I've never even tried one. I have low budget tastes. Boone's. That sort of thing. The person below me has not ventured into the corners of parking garages after seeing the above-mentioned episode.

It will be the last chance for this exact roster. As much as I wish we could get all of these guys back again, reality rears its ugly financial head. Will we still be in the thick of things for the Cup? You betcha! Look at our goal scoring. It is spread around. Take tonight's game for example. Hossa and Dats' goals were extra. Hudler's was not a surprise given how he's been playing, but Malts and Lebda? What odds would Vegas give on that? Yet Malts, Mac, Kopy and other whipping boys have been scoring. Sure Dats, Hossa and Z are the key players, but we also have Franzen and Homer, and Flip as well. We also have some good offensive-minded D men. Conk is proving to be a great goalie, and I am seriously wondering what will happen with J-Ho next year. Ozzie is wonderful, and the competition he is getting from Conk can only make him better. No matter who we can't re-sign or who we trade, we are set for a couple of years. Then, when the retirements start, we have the GR boys chomping at the bit to prove themselves. We won't win it every year. That would be foolish to predict, and I think the year after Lids retires will be a downer, but I do see us at the very least making the playoffs, and I don't see any reason to give up hope for Cups in the forseeable future. And someone will always be Lazy and will Suck. Then again, I'm a regular Pollyanna Sunshine who thinks the glass is always half-full and ignores the probability of bacteria lurking in it.

Good heavens, lad, what do they have to do to impress you? Get hat tricks whilst tap dancing and juggling live armadillos?

Flip with the assist there for Dats. And Hossa hits the EN. The perfect ending for a perfect day.
