I want to remind you guys of something since we are on a hot streak and things are looking good but I don't want to be a jerk. Ah screw it, these guys were ricks with a p anyways.
I think you're going to be surprised how much the tune stays the same in Dallas with Crawford coaching and how much Turco excels in Chicago.

You think this team is going deep with this defense and Andrew Raycroft playing 35-40+ games?
Also, if you click the link they left in the first post, you will notice that it was just as informative now as it was back when they first put it out. Maybe more informative now.

That guy is a Nucks fan if you look at his post history, so should reserve bringing that back up when we face them the next few games. But ya, **** that guy.
I'd almost forgotten about that unpleasant chapter. I guess it just blended together with all the other predictions of us finishing 15th, or if we got particularly lucky, 14th.

Had forgotten about that. Major lols at people attacking Kritter for attacking that guy (which she did rightfully so imo).
Probably won't know until game time for sure, but personally would be shocked if Raycroft wasn't in net with Calgary looming tomorrow night.
thanks - not sure to start him tonight in my fantasy league - I saw the back-to-backs, and figured Raycroft might get Edmonton if they were to split the games.
