Haha, my wife is past pretending that she likes sports (she faked football for a bit when I won a trip to the Super Bowl), but she tolerates my updates and that is it. (Not saying yours is pretending, BTW).
Oh, I've only recently allowed myself to believe she's not just an incredible actress

How do people think Dube has fared since his recall? Peters mentioned they were going to assess it again because he wasn't getting good minutes.
Upon his recall, Peters said he wanted to see Dube be dynamic in the offensive zone, hold on to pucks and not be afraid to shoot it. What are people's assessment of his board play both in defensive zone and offensive zone?
I personally would like to see Dube play the entire season in the AHL. Dunno how much he's gonna learn playing under 10minutes a game at the NHL level. Didn't notice him too much in the SJS game other than him getting hit 3 times in the same shift.
With Peter's going with Dube-Ryan-Hathaway as the 4th line, I just feel that line cant have two smallish players. Tre needs to go after someone bigger who is strong down low for that line.

Guy from Wings bench thats name sounds like a$$, grabbed Hamonic from behind almost like headlock, and then they got pushed into the door to bench, don't know if it was intentional, but Hamonic fell backwards, then he jumped on top of him, and kept punching as Hamonic was on hisback trying to defend himself. None of that extra crap by the wings got called only Tkachuk's heel tap.
Almost forgot, the ahl scrub had jumped Kulak, after a big hit on one of the wings players.
What an infuriating game that was. Totally forgot about the Tkachuk suspension for the love tap. While I had no problem with that suspension since it was a dumb move, F the league for completely ignoring Mantha's MMA impression on the player's bench on a defenseless player.
Flames seem to be a bit of a fiesty team lately. Nice to see some team toughness after years of getting pushed around. I just hope Bennett catches Mantha with his head down, then beats the ass of whomever tried to fight him!

Forgot about that stinky game.
Another gem from the officials and DOPS IMO
Witkowski rag-dolling Kulak after the fight and then
Witkowski coming back onto the ice
Mantha feeding Hamonic on the ground with the ref abundantly aware
I won't lie, my fists will clench, my eyes will close, and my butt will pucker up tighter than a snare drum every time the Wings put a shot on Smith. I hope he plays well, the frog and I will be watching. GFG

If Flames get average NHL goaltending from Smith they will win. If they get .889 save percentage Smith they will lose unless they can outscore bad goaltending which they have shown they are able to do a number of times this year.
It’s weird, but I actually prefer the 9:00 starts here in Ontario. Kids are in bed by the first intermission and the wife leaves me alone. 7:00 starts mean kids are up and the wife wants to do something with me after the game. Lol. I should have just grabbed tickets, but after being there last year for the 8-2 drubbing and it being right after Christmas I decided against it.
I have mastered the PVR discipline. My phone goes away during the game and I will settle down to watch the game around 7:30-8. I work until 5 and have a toddler at home so 7:30-8 is about as early as I could watch a game.
Love being able to fast forward the commercials and intermission. It gets tough if the game is not close but I am typically able to maintain and watch the whole game spoiler free. If I wasn’t able to do it this way I would probably miss half the games
