After the screw job... onto Aughtawaugh!

[Stumpy]

Following a heartbreaking loss to the Zebras in OT, the storm falls on The City That Fun Forgot. It's cute that they want to be American so bad that they named their team after the shittiest part of our national government. fuging dorks!

Our Canadian Caper may not have gotten off to the best start last night in Toronto, but look for us to get right tonight in Government City!

Annti up in net tonight...

Lil Bear back in the lineup...

Fingers crossed for a Turbo boost!

We are the far superior team tonight, so I would expect us to play this close.

It's not us playing down to the competition. It is Coach Rod making sure our cardio is up to snuff as fans. These nailbiters against bottom feeder teams are the conditioning we need to cheer this team on for a deep playoff run!

Looks like we're skating in grits right now...

Why do we suck so fuging bad against shitty goddamn teams. Right off the bat they take the lead. 

That raised blood pressure is Doug Bennett making sure your vitals can handle a double OT game 7 in the Eastern Conference Final!

Terrible.

Raanta is not it. We gotta trade. I wanted to believe but I just can’t. And we can’t ride Freddie for all 40+ games plus playoffs.

6 penalties against in less than 4 periods to 1 for.

Canes are 2 steps slow and chasing the puck from behind.

Watch them go 0-4 on this trip

I’d happily give up Raanta and 2 firsts to Vancouver for Thatcher. Or really what ever they are asking(pick or prospect wise).

Ottawa is faster than us. That’s why we went to bear.
