I suppose it's kinda fitting that he's an ex-Hab, as the Habs basically just force nobodies into that 1C role and manage to make the playoffs every other year.

WHY NOT US?

We're not trying to make the playoffs. We could if we wanted to. We just don't wanna.

That lunch combo mambo they got going for like $5 bucks or whatever is pretty dank. It's the deepdish style and the crust is super crispy/buttery.

Love me some Lil C's

Ken's impression is that Larkin's back problem has "been lingering for a long, long time." Which is...maybe just a wee bit concerning.

However, in the spirit of flippancy, choose your own adventure:

[ ] "This isn't even his final form?!"
[ ] "Yeah, carrying an entire team on your back will do that to you"
[ ] "He's gone full Zetterberg"

Not worried. His power level is over 9000.

Notes: Larkin out at least one game, Green will miss rest of season [DetroitRedWings.com]

Quote

"Mike Green, as I told you earlier, his body hasn't fought off that virus, he saw a specialist. The recommendation for him is multiple weeks of rest, which puts him out for the season, so he will not play the rest of the season. Larks is out tonight, I'll know more tomorrow, Green is out for the season."

Although it is concerning that Green's virus went away and came back, it is not expected to be a continuing problem.

"That's important to say. I've been told of no concern at all long term," Blashill said. "Obviously, like anything else in life, you never know, you take everything day to day, but they think it's a virus that with proper rest, he'll be fine, but you can't get proper rest when you're going through an NHL season. The purpose of holding him out for the rest of the year is that he can fully recover and once he's fully recovered, he should be totally fine."

Quote

Andreas Athanasiou has been playing center so there is the thought he could move up to the top line.

"I thought (Filip) Zadina played his best game that he has with us and that was with Andreas and Glenny (Luke Glendening) as a line. I like that line, I like the Nielsen, Vanek and Helm, I thought Helm was excellent last game, so I got to decide how I want to do that in terms of putting a center up with Mantha and Bert," Blashill said. "Now, Mantha, Larks and Bert have been our best line on a consistent basis, so I got to figure that part of it. The reticence I have with moving Andreas away from Zadina is I do think they have played well together and have formed a little chemistry, so we'll see."

Quote

In the last game, Filip Hronek played more than 27 minutes.

"He earned our trust prior to the trade deadline," Blashill said. "When Jense (Nick Jensen) was moved, he was put into that role with DK (Danny DeKeyser) and so now you're in a role where you're playing against the other teams' best. You're playing on the penalty kill, second penalty kill, on our top power-play unit, and it equaled out to 27 minutes the other night. Now, it's OT but there was a lot before the end of regulation.

"He's done a really good job and some of it is learning through trial. I think he's proven himself to be a guy that looks like a for-sure top-four defenseman in this league and that's great for our organization."

Both games in FL, Saturday and Sunday. So HYPED to see Zadina. Just hope Larkin is healthy, along with the rest of the young guns (Mantha, Athanasiou, Bertuzzi, Hronek, etc). Would love to see Cholo too, but I don't see that unless another defenseman or two go down...

Is Brendan Smith playing 4th line winger for the Rags tonight?

Also the spawn of lemieux plays for the Rags now, lets see if he gets froggy tonight

I wish we could've gotten Tony DeAngelo when his trade value was at its lowest. Feels like we haven't had a proper paisano since Ciccarelli.

I've never been a fan of starting your 4th line on home ice, but ok.

EDIT: Actually, I guess that's our 3rd line...

Goosebumps listening to the announcer talking about Ted.  He couldn't live forever, I guess... except in our hearts.
