    Brendan Smith

    Do you guys honestly think Smith's going to be smarter with the puck at forward...when he has the puck more? I don't want that dingbat touching a puck ever again. Like, seriously. If I were near Brendan Smith and he tried to reach down a pick up a puck to put it back in the bin at a sporting goods store, I'd still punch him.

    Jack Edwards is a real fan. Everyone else is posing.

    Brendan Smith

    And scores all those points for us? Lol. If his offensive game is his "most helpful" contribution then he's worse than I thought. He's produced less offense than every other defenseman we have. Including Kindl...who doesn't even play regularly.

    Would you go so far as to say that you need "PK for your bunghole"?

    Agreed. Heaven forbid P.K. Subban even have fun after the game. Let alone during it. If he'd squirted Thornton, the Beantown faithful would have been dusting off their hoods.

    I thought of Clowe too. Or Thornton, squirting water from the bench.

    I just don't think it's fair to expect too much from us against a team like Montreal. They're freaking awesome! Maybe if we were allowed to play one man up, 6 on 5 or something. Like, what if we could get an assist from the bench or something like that? Maybe we'd have a better shot?

    Hey what's up guys, what's been going on lately? I haven't been watching the game, but for some reason my ears were ringing so I thought I'd check in.

    Do we really need Ferraro AND Pulkkinen in the same lineup? Don't we have any adults who play hockey?

    Kronwalls weak and Tatar is streaky huh? Lol.

    I want Tatar to break 30 sooooo bad. Haven't had 30 since 2009.

    You really think that or you're being a smart ass?

    Is A First Round Exit Imminent?

    If it was easier to beat the Rangers, Tampa, or the Habs than it is to beat the Wings, we'd be where they are right now. Regardless of the "anything can happen" stuff that Holland and Babs regularly push, it's going to be an uphill battle for us. Sure, upsets happen. But less frequently than the favorite winning does.

    Is A First Round Exit Imminent?

    I like to think we've all got a little Mcgrattan in us. Especially when we need it most.

    All Purpose Grand Rapids Griffins Thread

    This is a really good article which discusses the organization's philosophy regarding AHL veterans. In short, they seem to place a premium on ensuring that there are always hard working, career AHLers around to mentor the young NHL prospects. I'd be surprised if any of the guys you asked about weren't thought of very highly by the organization. http://www.mlive.com/griffins/index.ssf/2015/03/griffins_transformation_traced.html

    Everybody snickers about Florida, but they're just like Columbus. They're going to come out of the blue suddenly and start kicking the crap out of all the regulars. Tallon has done a good job drafting down there, and that team is moving in the right direction.

    Troy Bouwer rules. I really wish that guy played for our team.

    % chance of making the playoffs

    It's so weird watching other teams play. For instance, Washington actually maintains possession in the offensive zone for extended periods of time. It's like bizzaro world.

    Well good to see Boston's playing desperation hockey through the first period lol.

    I agree, but screw Rask.

    3 point advantage games need to be eliminated

    Close playoff races are exciting. Am I missing something? Do you think any of us would give a s*** about game 75-79 of an 82 game season if it weren't close? Everyone ******* about parity, but it's way more exciting. Kinda like how close games that go down to the wire are more fun than blowouts.

    The Lines to get us in

    Ahhhh, you're probably right. Welp. Andersson as third line center it is then. Ugh.

    I know. We really needed Cole.
