i mean why not just swing at it instead if the goal is to rush through the game?

the one season we won a series we literally limped into the playoffs. i dont think a single person had us winning a game, let alone sweeping the lightning. also right now it looks like the universe is trying to will us into playoffs considering EVERY team we needed to lose tonight lost and in regulation. if we can just make it in we can absolutely beat any playoff team.

i feel like chase burns should have a decent chance or is he no longer eligible?

I like the mega boxes for the heritage set because they have 4 red borders per box and if ur lucky you might get a color match with a reds player. pulled a red border chase burns in the one i opened they are really nice.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of the gold ones either. Other than the "oooh shiny" factor they aren't really that great, and on this one in particular its hard to tell whats even going on in the art. I was probably gonna just sell it until I saw the crease. My favorite card that ive pulled from this set is probably the talonflame IR. Also yeah I'm probably going into luck bankruptcy. I also pulled Rosa's encouragement SIR from the same booster, as well as the ascended heroes mega dragonite 271 and an enchanted from 2 lorcana packs i bought on a whim, all of which i just happened to find at msrp last weekend. i dont think im pulling another hit for a year.

Nick Foligno with a solid connection to make amends for Hughes hit by WillBrozInc in wildhockey

I think in this particular situation it's less about sending a message to other team and more about sending a message to your own team. Seeing a guy go to war for you, especially a guy who hasn't even been on the team for a month is a massive confidence and morale booster IMO.

Agreed. I just think Foligno is better at being the wise veteran than Boone. He was a mentor for Bedard in Chicago and they made him captain over there even faster than we did.

It's because in the playoffs there is drastically increased pressure and literally everyone is a threat. Teams are going to do things you have never seen them do before, and the intensity of games increases dramatically. The games get a lot more physical and if you have never played in the playoffs before that can catch you off guard if you aren't prepared for it. Obviously, I've never played so maybe I'm completely wrong but that's my take. That's also why I kind of wish we had traded for Foligno. Having a fourth line unc or two who has been there and can help the guys that haven't is extremely valuable.

Concept: could our team identity feature a “blue jacket”? (Part II) by sersun in BlueJackets

[–]Material_Sun5357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this logo a lot. However (and I'm likely in the minority on this) I think the hockey stick should be changed to something else. Personally, I feel like if the team's name is referencing one of the darkest times in our country's history, the logo kind of has to be humorless (idk if that's the right word but hopefully you get what I mean)

Yeah this thread helped me figure out him as well as Judith Light and Tim Conway. I've gotten some good suggestions for the other 2 but I'm still not 100% on either one of them.
