    Wings recall Mrazek

    Called it. Totally called it.

    10/1 NHL Out of Town GDT - Opening Night

    Little scores and I think, "dang, half this team used to play for the Thrashers". Yeah, it's been a loooooooong day.

    Pack at Lambeau is a force to be reckoned with.

    Scary stuff. Get better, George! Props to Orr.

    10/1 NHL Out of Town GDT - Opening Night

    George. This is confusing for me. I generally root for the Leafs and hate the Habs, but now the Habs have Parros and the Leafs have Pfufnfufufff. As the season progresses, I'll be rooting for whomever does the least damage to the Wings in the standings.

    Preferable one that I actually get. Regular NBC would be nice.

    Nyquist taking things in stride, with class

    You take that back! Sammy's a Belieber!

    Nyquist taking things in stride, with class

    Good for him. He'll be back when cap and roster space allow. If we could send down some of the lesser ones without salary repercussions, we would have. Unfortunately for him, it's a numbers game. He'll be back up where he belongs. Mark my words.

    This or That

    I've never had Powerade, so I can't say. I've tried a couple of flavours of Gatorade and it was ok. Kill the bee in the house or just escort it outside?

    The person below me game...

    You know it! I've been ready for months. The person below me wishes that there was no salary cap.

    Leafs re-sign Phil Kessel

    Wow. For that money, he needs to score a lot of goals and stop gooning it up.

    This or That

    Truck, baby. That's how I roll. Give the house a good cleaning once a week, or do a little each day?

    The person below me game...

    I loathe Halloween. I hate fake blood. I hate vampires and zombies. Even more than that, I hate people dressed up as vampires and zombies. I am repulsed by it. If it's cute extortionists at the door in cute little costumes, fine. It gives me an excuse to buy candy. The rest of it? I'll pass. The person below me will be dressing up for Halloween.

    This or That

    Ice cream any day! (Unless it's home-made knefla soup. Then it gets some consideration.) Hard candies or chocolate candies?
  17. 55fan

    The person below me game...

    No, but I have very few close relatives, the closest are two hours away, and the next beyond that are about five hours away. There is one that I'd rather not visit with, but he's not mentally well and I pity him more than dislike him. The person below me keeps wearing undergarments even if they have holes.

    This or That

    I'm not into either any more. Just too old. I'll go with amusement park. They probably have one of those trains that you can ride around. Who do you take after more (looks or personality): Mom or dad?

    The person below me game...

    Oh, "The person below me hates Mondays more than I". Well, in that case, probably not. Mondays aren't that terrible. I did get sick, but it was just a little sick and it was about a month ago. The person below me takes pain relievers regularly.

    NHLPA approves hybrid icing

    No, I was teasing. The faceoff goes to the other end just like before.

    NHLPA approves hybrid icing

    Yep. It also works in the other direction if we ice it. You're welcome.

    Emmerton on Waivers

    Eureka! You've hit on it. Sammy plays. No enforcer. Sammy's a sitting duck. Nyquist gets the call up and Sammy sits on LTIR unless we absolutely need him. Genius. Pure, mad genius.

    Emmerton on Waivers

    They are calling up only guys who don't have to worry about waivers (now or in the immediate future) but I don't see why Coreau is up over Mrazek or why we need 8 d-men. There's got to be something more to all of this. Something deep. Sinister. Pure "evil genius at work" kind of thing. Someone out there is planning to take over the universe, and it just might be Holland. Or maybe he just wants a bit more of a look-see at these guys and they have the lowest cap hits.

    Coreau? Makes me question if this is the actual lineup that we'll see Wednesday.

    NHLPA approves hybrid icing

    It'll get some taking used to, just like anything else, but in the end, I think it'll be ok. Over time, the linesmen will get more uniform in calling it.
