dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Biggest difference between this year's start and last years is Special Teams. Lets hope that continues to be the case. Through 9 games: 2012 4 Wins 5 Losses 2013 6 Wins 3 Losses Our PK has been great so far. I expect more consistancy from our PP though. Should be better with Nyquist-Tatar on the 2nd unit.

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Someone needs haiku lessons. Or maybe the attempt at haiku form was symbolically sucking to represent Sammy in some metaphysical way.Edit: adding a smiley. I liked the effort and was trying to add props, not trying to be a prick. It's easy to forget the smiley when Sammy is the subject.

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Sorry. It's difficult to create anything remotely intelligent when using Sammy as your subject. I think you misinterpret my comment. I was meaning the form was intentionally wrong because it was about Sammy, further emphasizing how much he sucks. I was going to like your post but my wife came in to adk me something. I actually found it quite humorous. Sammy bleeping sucks We need to lose his cap hit But he plays like s*** 2 WingsAlways and datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 bonus points for rhyming, Xym Thank you kindly. My wife jokes that i'm MC-YT since I frequently throw a rhymed couplet for humorous effect, or improv my own lyrics to a song for humor (or to make a point in a choir rehearsal). Back the game, good PK. I missed the first as the Center Ice preview ended and I was on hold with the cable company. Anyone have the short version of the recap thus far?

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 Wow...Farnzen does not look to bad at center. He didn't when he played center near the end of last season too. A little harder for him to float given the responsibilities of the position. 1 gowings00 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
