Brag post time. Lots of people saw pictures of Malkin practicing and Fleury in his new pads but I just saw them in person during a closed practice.     I was down at the arena to get my security

Yes I agree that Crosby kids gotta go. Can I interest you in a phaneuf?

JapersRink ‏@JapersRink · 20m Really looking forward to Dan Bylsma being either an idiot who can't win with Sid or a genius who can win without a bottom-6 after tonight.

who do you have on the 2nd line for the first 3-4 months of the season, Kennedy?
I don't think they break up the 3rd line to fill in the 2nd one temporarily.I think you see Dupuis, Caputi, and Tangradi all play there at times.

I was going to make a second post outlining which roles may be on the line during camp, but got sidetracked with poker.I think Kennedy is probably the best player for the top 6 right now, but yeah, we'll probably want to keep the Staal line together.I think Dupuis will be given a shot, but he's been useless with it before.Caputi or Tangradi will probably fight for it during camp. I would give Caputi a slight edge because he's got more experience, and is a year older.It's only 1-2 months, btw, not 3-4.

I really doubt tanger makes the lineup after the surgery he had and allI haven't googled him in the last week or two though, he might be nearing full speed again

Tanger is already Letang so he's going to have to find another nickname, ha.He had a few radio interviews in the last few weeks saying that he's not quite 100% shooting right now but will be by camp.

interesting. hopefully they'll come up with a good nickname for the kid. I didn't even want him; I just wanted to make sure zach couldn't have him.bastard thinks he's entitled to staal, caputi, AND tangradi?

sorry, was Talbot's recovery time 3-4 months, so only 1-2 of the season? Too many numbers in my head:)
Yes.edit-Either way, I'm not sold on him permanently in the top-6. I think he, Kennedy, Cooke, Dupuis, Caputi and Tangradi will get looks there over the course of the long season, to be honest.

My Mom sent me these pictures. I doubt she took them, or I would have gotten a phone call from her at the time (or damn well should have!).The Hoito is a quite famous local breakfest restaurant, known for it's finnish pancakes. It's very "Thunder Bay".staal1.jpgstaal2.jpgstaal3.jpgstaal4.jpgstaal5.jpgstaal6.jpgI don't know who to properly credit these for, I got them in an email from my Mom.

^^^^^ Possibly the coolest thing ever. I didn't even go when Eric Staal brought the Cup home, but I really wish I could have been there for Jordan's triumphant return.
