Nazem Kadri credits Randy Carlyle with hot start

Yes.

@keon I an just thinking that that number would be affected by all inter conference games. 

@keon So, we need 50 points in the next 44 games. Hope most losses are in overtime.

@MSM Over the last 7 years, it has taken 93 points (rounded up) to make the playoffs in the East. So that would equate to 54 this season

@keon That should be about right. Around 92 was the approximate for an 82 game season. Stuff can happen to make it jump up or down, though.

@StanleysComingHome I think someone did some quick math and came up with around 54, give or take.

@tucker2corson Someone put up a tweet about it the week the CBA was done, they figured 56 would do it

Gotta run some errands. Later all.

@Mike_84 Do you have time for a trial run before the wedding? Would be a great add to anyone having a SuperBowl party right about now.

@leafmealone I may have to try this

@Mike_84 Never done it, but seen it done with habitrail tubing. So like a hard plastic versus a soft flexible type. Obviously can’t make a coil with this, but you can make an internal pathway all the same.

@StanleysComingHome i think an 8th place finish would be 56 or 62 i believe.

I know its early but has anyone figured out how many points it will take to make the playoffs this year with a shortened season and all intercoference games?

@Mike_84 Like I said. Buy some tubing, and twist it up into a coil. Place it against the bottom of the rubber bin, and make sure the top comes out above the level of the water. (you can use a coat hanger to hold the shape but you’ll see it later) When it’s all frozen, you can chip a little from the bottom to open the hole, and also pour a little lukewarm water down the tube to melt it out from the top down. If you have the time, once you’ve cleared the tube, put the block back in to refreeze.  I’ve done it without the tube, but you have to be sure of the quality of the ice or it will follow internal flaws and start to go all over the place. Also, if used outside, then you leave the booze out there too. This way it’s equally cold and also helps to slow down everything being affected by thaw.

Fraser plays his 100th NHL game tonight

@Radar O'Rielly Nah gonna skip the pole dancing

@Radar O'Rielly Ummm, if the Bride is down with this, one may want to rethink the whole marriage thing in the first place. ;)

@leafmealone Ya that doesn’t sound to hard. Any idea on how they do the ones that have like a spiral going through them that you pour threw.

@tucker2corson Too true, Kessel could have a few more points easy if his teammates could accept passes (or just not be totally surprised at them) and finish.

@Mike_84 About that age that I first started getting hangovers.

@Mike_84 All you have to do is find a flip top freezer with space and some time. Got to crank it up high so the ice freezes as solid as possible (everything goes off the rails when a crack through the block sends the booze onto the floor instead of running to the bottom) and leave it for as long as you can before you want to use it. My preference was to do it during winter and then place it on the back deck where it would take way longer to melt (also handy if someone takes too much and suddenly needs to send some back). Get a large rubber maid type container, fill it halfway to 2/3rds full, and set it on a tilt (one bottom side higher than the other)  in the bottom of the freezer to create a wedge shape when it freezes. Easy. -L-   [____]  -R-      (tip either the L or the R up)

@Mike_84 So no to Bride Pole dancing?

@Komas Taberle hes definately added a  playmaking element to his game.. at least added on to it from last year it looks like..if kostka had any finish.. he would have 2 more nice assists!

He is a lot more humble now. He realized he won’t get by on skill alone. Good for him. Candidate for player of the week?

@leafmealone Thats where i’m at too but i’m only 28

@Mike_84 No, I got you I was just making a bad joke. As in “I used to go out for a night of drinking” but not anymore. I’ve slowed down a ton in mid 30′s, really don’t enjoy getting drunk anymore. Still love good booze though. Fine line indeed.

@leafmealone I didn’t think about making it myself but thats not a bad idea. Most places seem to charge about $450 for one.

@Mike_84 Used to make those all the time. All kinds of cool stuff you can do with it. (Used to use tubing to create a coil shape in one block top to bottom, then suspend that block over a second one. Put some food colouring in the vodka, or pick a booze with a dark colour-Jager-and pour the shot into the top of the one block, let it go down the coil inside the top block, and out the bottom and then down the face of the lower one. Or make two and do races) Definitely something everybody gets into, serious conversation piece. Set up one of those and a chocolate fountain and you’ll get people all over town crashing your nuptials.

My advice to Kessel, Stop playing like Jason Blake for fucks sake! Every time against the Islanders he goes wide and shoots into the goalies crest or gets the puck deflected over the glass. Move into the scoring lanes and pick your corners, use your great speed to get open. By the way your defensive game has really improved and your will to compete has grown 100%.
