Neech Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It's after noon and high time we had a thread! dlbalr says it doesn't have to be fancy, and darn it, I'll take him at his word. The lineup: A bunch of rookies. Beaulieu in, Tinordi out, chaos in all zones. Edmonton: in shambles, without Hall and possibly Eberle. Eakins threatening to send them all to bed without dessert if they don't shape up. Go Habs! (Go) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Could be one of the most boring games of the year and that's saying something. I'm sure everyone saw the NHL.com photo caption with Seth Jones from Saturday but if not let me know and I'll post the link. I am excited to see Patrick Holland he is a very heady player from what I have read but when I have seen him I have been unimpressed. Bourney gets a big chance with Plex and Gio. Eberle is a GTD I guess. I hope to see some new posters in here tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks for stepping up Neech. It looks like Eberle's going to play though officially he's a game-time decision. I think Tyler Pitlick will make his NHL debut for the Oilers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 What an awful last name. Reminds me of Ron Tugnutt. It doesn't have the same gross-erotic overtones, but I always felt "Shoebottom" was among the worst surnames ever to traipse through the NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovett's Magnatones Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 It doesn't have the same gross-erotic overtones, but I always felt "Shoebottom" was among the worst surnames ever to traipse through the NHL Shoe! He used to be a bouncer at Brian Boru's in Portland, Maine back in the late 90's early 2000's. I heard a lot of stories about him from the musicians I played with when I lived in Portland. Some guy was acting up at Boru's, and Shoe threw him threw a window! He was the baddest bouncer in Portland history. He started altercations with "you don't want this..." Ominous.

Colin Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This game day thread will bring victory. I sense it. I disagree about this being a boring game. Edmonton can't play defence. They aren't particularly good up front either. And between the pipes is downright embarrassing. And the Habs play to the level of their opposition. Therefore this is going to be a wide open, high scoring, grey-hair inducing, pool happy (unless you've got the goalies), Price pulling, defenceless, angst ridden, fox saying anti-slugfest which will go to a shootout and will be decided in the 15th round. Book it, Dan'O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 What an awful last name. Reminds me of Ron Tugnutt. I remember the days when Pitlick, Tugnutt and Hamrlik all played for Ottawa. High comedy, if you're 12. Still think Pitlick takes the cake in sheer awfulness, especially with Lance as a first name. A truly unique GDT, well done. I am still chuckling. Much obliged.

Link67 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 i'm going to go out on a limb and say the Plekanec - Bournival - Gionta line is going to cause all kinds of problems tonight and going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmethead Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think Ryan white is undervalued. Just saw him rub Holland's head after his first shift. That my friends is what a true team player is all about. Between this and fishing Bournival's first goal puck out of the net, I have new found respect for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
