A guy like Bitetto is always going. He’s always firing, keeping that energy high. Teams need that. … He’s great at that. People don’t get down on themselves. You keep going. You keep striving to get better. Those guys like him, they’re a diamond a dozen." [/td] [/tr] [/table] — Brendan Smith Bring the Weird, Bring the Win:
CBrowningPI Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Diamond a dozen Bitetto. Character players are rare and not replaceable at any given moment. I hope Bitetto keeps his game at a positive level and he helps this team gel together. Lets beat these Caps and demonstrate our youth can prevail against a seasoned team. LGRS!!!
jsm7302 Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Team is starting to gel. One of these days Zib will break out. Hopefully it is today.
Parsley Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 All I ask for is a 7-0 win with a hat trick for Mika and 4 points from Lafreniere. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Rangers Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Add two for Kakko, just for little more confidence. All I ask for is a 7-0 win with a hat trick for Mika and 4 points from Lafreniere. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
Ozzy Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 I'm feeling a big effort today, guys!!! Today is Zibby day!!! ...calling it right now!!! :thumbs: I'm sticking with the Zibber and giving him a dose of Vitamin Ozzy!!! ...gonna be screaming at the TV so loud my neighbors are gonna call the cops!! LOL
Scott Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Didn't the last one end kind of ugly with Dillon pounding Rooney and at least one if not two other guys getting ragdolled around at the same time by Hathaway and Wilson? Wonder if this one picks up where that one left off, might make sense for the Caps because we don't have the pieces to play that game unless they unleash Buch, and our PP has been struggling.
Keirik Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Alright for today, nothing but positive energy from me.
Pete Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Alright for today, nothing but positive energy from me.
Dunny Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 How can they actively dedicate their being to avoiding COVID, yet fail miserably, but I haven't washed my hands since Halloween and I still don't know anybody that knows anybody whose had it.
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Hope this top line goes hard. Big chance for Laf
lefty9 Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Damn no Kakko ,had him pencilled in with a hat trick
ThirtyONE Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 How can they actively dedicate their being to avoiding COVID, yet fail miserably, but I haven't washed my hands since Halloween and I still don't know anybody that knows anybody whose had it. Lucky. I know 5 people who have had it and 2 who have died. Kakko is high risk. I'm sure it's precautionary just like it was last time.
ThirtyONE Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 ALF moves to top line? Yeah. Big opportunity for him. Wrong wing - which isn't ideal - but Mika and Panarin are as good as it's gonna get for him.

Keirik Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 aLF breaks out today. 2 goals 2 assists. vanecek has been a sieve. We got this!
Pete Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Lucky. I know 5 people who have had it and 2 who have died. Kakko is high risk. I'm sure it's precautionary just like it was last time.I thought COVID list means there's a chance you've been exposed and they're keeping you away from other players... Where's he going that he's been exposed twice already?
4EverRangerFrank Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Ha! Fox slapped it. We were just talking about that.
