I know Anderson was mic'd up for Penticton a couple years ago. And he was definitely a chirper, including chirping Mangiapane in the tunnel before taking the ice.

Love the chirp on Boeser. "Oh, because you've played five games in the show?"

Rasmus is a legend already. What a beauty

Love seeing Rasmus poke at Mangiapane. Obviously buddies from playing together in Barrie and Stockton, likely trying to get him to lighten up a bit.

Sounds like the Coil just signed 1 year phenom Koskinen to a 3 year, 4.5 million dollar extension.

Jeez.

There is no way they could ever possibly regret that.

Quintessential Oilers move.

So they are giving up on Talbot and the 3 picks they used for him just because Koskinen's spirit hasn't been broken yet and betting on Koskinen as the saviour after 25 games in the NHL? Yeah that will go well....

Is that McDavid a photoshop of him crossed with Steve Buscemi?

I can imagine Chia putting on the skin colored body suit next game and streaking around Rogers arena.

How long until he adorns a game worn Gretzky jersey, heads over to a meeting and wipes fresh strawberry juice all over it?

Seriously though, how has he not been fired yet? They really want this chump in the drivers seat on trade deadline day?

Wait what? How on earth is he possibly worth that on the open market.

Also WHAT?? he's played only 27 NHL games and has a Sv% of 0.911. I mean, he's looked fine, but plenty of goalies have looked fine in the NHL for 27 games. This is absurd.

Yeah, that's the one. I knew Mangiapane and Andersson were featured in it, just got the mic'd up guy reversed.
