Once again, you're under the impression that MCD and Drai give a flying F*ck about "TurtleChuck's piss ant antics," - nothing could be further from the truth. He is merely a piece of lint on their Jersey....a rusty bottlecap, dirt under their fingernails - "Equalizer." He is a guy "that they're forced to play with this weekend and nothing more. Only a retard would see that them not attending the media session would indicate that he is "under their skin." They didn't have anything nice to say about him - which is why they didn't attend...it's called industry professionalism......you're unbelievable - you think this is all rehearsed and intended by the great "TurtleChuck." It's merely a coincidence.

Once again, you are a prime example of "you can't fix stupid"......

And the whole point of the ASG is the spotlight, there's no pressure to perform. They obviously skipped the media day because they didn't want to answer questions about Tkachuck, proof that he's in their head! Job well done for Chucky.

I think both of you are just salty because the superior team is on top of the Pacific.

But seriously is the Pacific still Vegas's to lose in the end?

Lol, so why did Draisaitl say he would get off the ice if he were paired with Chucky? seems like he cares about it a bit lol. He should be paying rent for living in their heads!

There is nothing rehearsed about this, how dumb are you? Tkachuck is an agitator, and he agitated. You're even agitated by it, so it's clearly working!

I don't think it's anyone's to lose now, way too close with the top 5 teams separated by 1 point.

I don't really think so...Ottawa and Detroit definitely have worse defensive corps but beyond that Winnipeg starts getting into the discussion I think. Anaheim and Rangers maybe?

The Jets have shown that they basically need Hellebuyck to play lights out in order to make the playoffs. Beyond their top two lines and Hellebuyck they just don't have that impressive of a roster.

Any chance of Buff coming back? or was there a date he needed to play by?

Ya probably right.
I keep waiting for Vegas to wake up and separate themselves from the pack.

Fleury has been a bit off this year, that's the difference I see in Vegas. Just like with the Flames, we are way down in scoring this year, that's why we are underachieving currently.

Vegas should benefit from their goaltending reverting to the mean in the second half of the season. Firing Gallant was beyond stupid, but I still have my money on them to come out on top.

Even if he came back now, you have to wonder what kind of player he'd be. Ankle surgery, a year off and counting, apparently he is not believed to be on the ice anywhere. Considering that he's almost 35 it would seem to me that his career is getting close to being done, if it isn't already.

Calgarian · #**852** Posted **Jan 24, 2020, 10:00 PM**

Yeah Buff is done. At his age (and size) taking a year off is bad for the career...

Denscity · #**853** Posted **Jan 25, 2020, 7:56 AM**

Pettersen with 102.4 mph slap shot!
The only forward.

suburbanite · #**854** Posted **Jan 25, 2020, 5:03 PM**

Impressive shot from Pettersson, he looks like he's 170 pounds soaking wet.

Denscity · #**855** Posted **Jan 26, 2020, 4:59 AM**

Hughes and Petterson looked great and their side won.

Thanks to David Rittich. Both games.

Calgarian · #**857** Posted **Jan 27, 2020, 4:33 PM**

ASG was mildly entertaining, most impressed Al McInnis can still take a 100mph slap shot!

And Chucky put up some points as well, even a highlight real passing play with Draisaitl of all people!

HomeInMyShoes · #**858** Posted **Jan 27, 2020, 4:45 PM**

Just glad regular games can start again. Looking to be a very interesting last 30ish games.

Love how he didn’t even look at him and just skated off afterwards haha. Draisaitl laughing watching him skate off “fuck you” lol.

Hertl's 5 goals probably helped as well.
The 3 western Canadian teams all have great stars!
