QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“We had a little bit of that last year in finding games where maybe we weren’t supposed to win or maybe we didn’t have all the bounces. But we still found a way to stick with it and get those dirty wins, I guess. We’re doing a great job of that right now on this little streak, finding what’s working and sticking with it.” 

— K'Andre Miller

Here's hoping, JS!

 

I really pull for this guy because he has the heart of a lion, and I don't think it's just a coincidence that we started winning after he went ballistic that night.  But for fuck sake, I wish he'd stop being so damn clumsy with the puck. 

 

Just keep it simple!!!  ....ice the damn thing if you have to!

We actually have been pretty good at faceoffs this season, so I'd take my chances there....rather than cough it up, trying to skate it, or stick-handle it outta the zone!

 

...drives me up a wall when I watch him pull that crap! 

[Keirik]

We roll tonight

Makes you wonder why he is making the mental mistakes. He seems tense. Obviously. I don't throw my helmet and fight people every game when I'm relaxed. Hope he pots a goal tonight and gets the monkey off his back. He is leading and I'm certainly impressed. When was the last time this team had a leader willing to give it all to try and pump the boys up?

...with you all the way on that one!  He does seem pretty tense!  It's like you couldn't pull a pin out of his ass with a tractor some games!!!  LOL

 

If we're going to be a serious contender this season, Troubs has to get his shit together....and that quite soon! 

[lefty9]

There's some crazy shit going on this GDT

[4EverRangerFrank]

Just lifting my expectations for a win

 

 

Win by 2?
