Harbingers

Fishy has that fugging thing dialed up. You could see it as soon as his skates hit the ice.

We are getting sluggish. Somebody needs to break out the smelling salts.

Oh man. Tro is lucky he walked out of that with his face intact.

Bear and Cole running sprints right now. Now I see why they switched Bear to that line.

Ya we’ve had our sloppiest puck handling tonight for sure all around.

Eh, Pesce has been off all night. His puck handling has been off, which is not like him.

Pesce has been uncharacteristically poor with the puck handling tonight.

It went off Tro but Aho def tipped it too.

Svech Aho and Tro all touched that.

Like I said this Columbus offense is more high powered than they are getting credit for. Even with missing Domi.

Fast is playing insane this season.

Good post by @MillionDollarCam in the season thread summarizes what we are up against. Feel free to repost here.

Andersen in net, let’s go get number 4 vs the red hot Blue Jacket Offense.

Fittsmagic? Too soon?

Bean is a DL1 for them? Wow. He was barely cracking DL3 for us last season. He’s either second or third in TOI for them defensively. Better take advantage of the insider knowledge on him. Also going Korpisalo over Merzlikins is interesting.

Question is do we go Andersen after the long week off against probably the most potent offense on paper in the next few games. Or do we give Raanta his first start?

Unfortunately I’m not subscribed but I do check her Twitter during hockey season. Real good stuff.

Ditching Arnold at the same time we lost CMC was fitts worst move so far.

3 & 6 should have been 1 & 2.

And the plot thickens. Bad working conditions, the gun has misfired 3 times before this instance. I’m really beginning to wonder if this was sabotage. Knew the gun was faulty, walked off set, perhaps put live ammo in the gun on the way out. Nobody checked it. I have no idea why any A-crew star would be using live ammo, much less in rehearsal. Let the B-crew deal with the live ammo shots with trained professionals. But who the fug knows. Everything is pointing to this gun being a seriously old firearm. Probably from someone’s personal collection that was hired specifically for this. Thats the first person I’d be looking at in any case. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-10-22/alec-baldwin-rust-camera-crew-walked-off-set?_amp=true&__twitter_impression=true “Hours before actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer on the New Mexico set of “Rust” with a prop gun, a half-dozen camera crew workers walked off the set to protest working conditions.“ “There were two misfires on the prop gun on Saturday and one the previous week, the person said, adding “there was a serious lack of safety meetings on this set.”” In an email to its members, Local 44 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, a union that represents prop masters, said the shot that killed Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on Thursday was “a live single round.”

They’ll use real guns a lot of sets especially in historical films. Unless I’ve missed something, there’s no reason to believe it was a real bullet yet. It could have been a freak accident with blanks at close range.

From the rumors, the type of firearm they were using was probably an actual antique gun, one that requires the person to fully cock the hammer, but if the hammer isn’t pulled back into place all the way it will slam back with enough force to fire the gun. Deadline said they were in rehearsal for a scene, and that the deceased was shot in the stomach and the director in the shoulder. Which makes me wonder if it was a flint shotgun. But perhaps it could have been a six shooter. That leads me to wonder two things. Who was the armorer/safety person on set, and why the fug did they have a loaded gun in rehearsal, even if it was blanks. Even if the facts are inaccurate it being a hammer issue on a gun makes sense to me in this situation. They need to do a thorough investigation of all props/safety people on set in this situation. Baldwin being a huge Anti-NRA and Gun Control advocate I’m sure this is going to have an unbelievable huge impact on him.

Holy poo. Fleury and Ned are the 3-4 worst save % goalies currently. Reimer killed it in the one game he played.

Our social media is serious fugging trolls.

Honestly, I’d ride the hot hand vs. Columbus. Since we’ve had the rest. They are more potent than Toronto at this point in offense.
