  2. Congrats to him

    Hopefully without him we won’t get any points tonight. Need to get our tank back on track

  4. Had no idea his partner was pregnant. Obviously that played into the trade deadline. My wife and I just had our first, I couldn’t imagine being traded any time around the birth.

  5. Ah, I did not know he was expecting a child so soon. Made sense that the club didn’t want go through trading him a week ago.

  9. Take a few weeks off OEL you’ve been a good soldier. Rest up – Tank Nation will take things from here.

  10. Ahhh good for him! I will miss him at the game tonight, he brings some serious grit to the lineup. How is Thrun going to get there? For real because flights are cancelled 😂

  12. Congrats to him and his wife. Hopefully he got there in time, what with all the flights being cancelled out of Minnesota and whatnot

  16. Ah so that’s why he wasn’t traded. Same as Mitch last year (with the NTC of course). We continue to be an accommodating organization with no results to show for it. Players come here and coast. The metrolinx of the NHL.
