GO CANUCKS GO!

GO HOAGIE GO!

 

 

[-AJ-]

Pumped to see hockey again. The Sharks are almost tied with us in point percentage, so a win would move us ahead of them. They're not in a playoff spot, but the first on the list of teams we need to pass.

 

Let's do it, boys!

Immense test #1.

 

Is Hughes playing?

[D.B Cooper]

Battle of the bottom barrel!   
 

Let’s hope our big scary fish is scarier than their big scary fish!

It felt like a mini off-season after that time off. Now, back to business.

[Muttley]

What's patients?

 

[Roberts]

after this 4 day break i believe there are only three 3-day breaks for the rest of the whole season, and they aren't for a while. it'll be nice to have a good flow of games going again.

Like expected Ducks and Kings have come back to earth but I was way off on the Flames and they are the only team with an easier schedule than us going forward.

With Lehner injured I think the knights  along with us and the Oilers battle it out for the final 2 spots.

Thankfully both have 2 of the hardest schedules and we are finally healthy and will be able to run Demko a ton with the way the schedule is. 

Gonna be tough but gimme a stretch run over tanking or sucking for a lottery pick any day.

[Odd.]

Must win game. 
 

Gotta treat these divisional games like a playoff game.

When they play in San Jose, yes. I didn't go to the December game though.

 

I'll be wearing my Bo skate jersey. If I run into Thatcher's grandpa again I hope he's not disappointed I'm not in a Demko jersey yet

Yeah, every divisional game is a must win for the rest of the season if they wanna make the playoffs.

[NHTyrany]

Meaningful hockey in February is so cool. It's time for the boys to show us how badly they want it.
