Is Witko hurt?

You were closer to a goal than they were.

Boy it's amazing how many Vezina quality goalies there are in the NHL.

Didn't like that call on Eichel. But I'll take it.

Oh, now we have the FLM line

Looked like Howard was just a tad indecisive there and didn't quite get there...

Just tuned in and saw a line of Frk-Larkin-Nyquist. Has it been that way all game, how have they looked?

AA and Frk in the top 6 = Win! Bottom 6? Ugh.....

Always someone in the crowd. Who farted?

Of course I misspell a word in the title! If you get a chance MOD's, please correct my spelling of "Amateur" and "Official." Thanks! Anyhow, also of note one in the honorable mentions is Jacob Semik, from Canton, MI and he also plays for Michigan. If we fail to get a the top pick, and have to settle for a 5-10, a couple of guys I'd like to see grab one of: The aforementioned Quinn Hughes, Ryan Merkely, Ty Smith on the D side at FWD: Filip Zadina, Ryan McLeod. If, IF we are lucky enough to get the #1 and get Dahlin, the #26 will be hanging in the rafters in about 22 years! The stuff I read and see of this kid is amazing! If, we tank and still don't get the #1, I firmly believe that we should trade up to get it and him!

Having Howard and Coreau would probably help us in our pursuit of Dahlin/Svech. (although I believe we need Dahlin more!) Imagine this in two years: Theodore - Dahlin Cholowski - Hicketts Daley - DD Jensen/XO (if re-signed) We still have Hronek, Sarajaarvi and Sulak in the minors (Europe) that can come in when DD and Daley contracts end. I'd gladly give Mrazek away and allow him to mature in Vegas! Especialy for Theodore in return! And BTW, Yes I am hoping we get to draft a Swedish defenseman! (although at the moment he is only 165lbs. but that will change!)

Abso - ******* - lutely! 1 for 1, or maybe Mrazek and Montreal's 6th for Theodore! I was just going to post this! They don't have the cap room at the moment, but Stoner is STILL on the IR and part of his cap could be used as the difference if they chose to LTIR him. The only reason he isn't on it already is they don't need the cap relief.

Where's Frk? AA - Z -Mantha sounds good! If Abby has to be in the top 6 (stupid Blashill) I'd go with: Abby - Larkin - Frk Of course that demotes Nyquist and Tatar to the 3rd, we know that'll never happen. Honsestly though, why not? Maybe Tatar - Nielsen - Nyquist could be a very good scoring line. There's nothing wrong with having 3 of them, yes? 4th would be Wilson - Glen - Helm, making Booth the 13th and Witkow the 7th D while DD is hurt. So.... AA - Z - Mantha Abby - Larkin - Frk Nyquist - Nielsen - Tatar Wilson - Glen - Helm Daley - Green XO - Jensen Ericsson - Kronwall

Naaaaa, Mena Suvari! Honestly though, I was a big fan of Alyson Hannigan. Out of the Michelle character she is so nice!

Outcoached

...and Jimmy is in mid season form.

Who will be the extra attacker with Sheahan gone?

Other teams appreciate E for his give aways and everytime he fans on the puck or breaks his stick.

It's just one of Holland's little saying like "kicked some tires." He had said a couple or so times that he'd like to make a deal, but "Trades are hard."

Frk seems to be regressing because he lost his linemates. That line should be AA-Larkin-Frk.

So now what's the lines? Nyquist - Z - Mantha AA - Larkin - Frk Tatar - Nielsen - Wilson Abby - Glenn - Helm Damn, I'd still like to dump one of Tatar or Nyquist to Montreal for Galchenyuk.

Dammit Samsung! Meanwhile:
