In Guelph, no kidding. So am I. Really good game tonight. Lots of positives with our new line combos. I’m however not liking the Evander Kane line right now. Kane Ryna and……is it Brown? Anyway I think that line should be Kane Ryan Nuge. Move Ene to Nuge’s spot. We can pull this off.

Stu got the shutout. I didn't watch the game or listen to it. I caught the highlights early this morning. That was it. The 28th of December is a day of profound grief for me and my family, it's the day the kids, grandkids, and I (and her Mom and sister etc.) lost the love of my life 3 years ago now and hockey didn't matter to me for obvious reasons. To be candid I wasn't sure I'd even do this but life goes on for the living no matter how much pain you're in. The stats are there, I'm sorry I can't really comment. Take care all.
I really don’t like seeing Evander Kane so far down the line up. He s an elite scorer and most of his woes have been the result of playing with Connor Brown. My opinion anyway.
I'm a fan of Rodrigue and Pickard. What a difference it makes when you get to PLAY! The comment of "They just need someone to spell Skinner so he doesn't get overused" is getting old. You have someone PLAY PICKARD! He'll probably do well if he's see's the ice more often. Rodrigue is now playing and not riding the pine, hence he does better. Try it with Pickard.
If you bring up Rodrigue you have to put Pickard on waivers, he may not clear. The current pattern would have Rodrigue replace Pickard on the bench watching Skinner and continue the line of, If we just had someone…….. If you lose Pickard to waivers you just sunk the Condors and your depth for the next five years.

Next up, LA -should be a fast paced game. Let's make it four in a row Oilers.
I think it's time to get rid of Campbell.
Hey Patrick, you're only 2 hrs away from me
Is she a Leafs fan?

My question to you. Are you going to do this as your full time job?

Thank's for the update Patrick! Beautiful tree for sure.
