[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Thanks, Doob!!

Hour and a half till puck drop!

Watching NHL Rivals between Broadway & Broad St. Really interested in understanding more about this rivalry.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Didn't realize that the Rangers almost got Eric Lindros the year before they won the Cup.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Imagine Messier & Lindros playing together during the 1990s, that would've been scary!

 

[Pastafazul]

when is our next game?

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Good evening Pasta, puck drops in half an hour I believe.

 

[Pastafazul]

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

hey doobs, miss the pre game stare downs, trash talkin.. 2 teams are too calm

It was pretty good Pasta, didn't appreciate the historical significance until now.

 

[Pastafazul]

i'm still trying to figure out how torts is an NHL coach? worst thing for players that could have ever happened was him winning a cup! olie yokinin given the last shot!

Winning that Cup went to his head, now he thinks he's untouchable and seems to have lost grasp of reality.

 

[Pastafazul]

that was supposed to be a thumbs up. i need help!!!

 

[David_son]

This is an important game we need to put on the offensive pressure I still wouldnt trust the flyers defense or goaltending

I still question their defense as well, but their goaltending has been solid with Mason in net. Then again, a goalie could only do so much with no D in front.

 

[David_son]

St. Louis got his one shot I guess he has his stats for the night

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Yeah only shot MStL could get as of late is a flu shot, and I doubt if he even got that.
