As I said in another thread, "I'll take a team of Walkers, Cortenalls, Bassens, Prongers and McInnises." And as some one pointed out, don't forget the Sutters.
Your comparing Walker and Bassen to Courtnall Pronger MacInnis? Hilarious!
They all worked their tail off. I'll take anyone who give 110% over floaters. It's hustle my man, hustle.
Paraphrasing from "Hoosiers," "When you give 100%, win or lose, you are, in my book, winners."

BTW, it's "you're."
Thx grammar police. You do know Hoosiers was a movie, right?

I love his nonstop motor and willingness to battle, but he's our 4th line RW. If we can't replace that from our AHL team, we've got huge issues.

It's the equivalent of saying right before a PP that a team hasn't scored in 15 opportunities or you have killed off 20 straight.

Might as well just put the goal on the board at that point.

Yep when they said that.
I said to myself that this saying may not age well.

It looks right now like it hasn,t ::crazya::
Its basically like clockwork that's why as announcers you should never say that stuff
You know there no correlation right?
I’ve also seen announcers say “He’s made 50 extra points in a row” as they line up and the guy puts #51 right through.
of course I know it, but even Kerbs mentioned the announcers curse the other night. Correlation or not, it gets willed into existence the majority of the time.

Lol, no offense, just making sure!
It is common, I’ll admit that but nothing more than coincidence

No offense taken I know you didn't mean it in a mean spirited way.

It is just coincidence, but don't even put it out in the ether, just let things be.

Does anyone have an idea of what his injury might be? I watched the game, and I just don't recall what or when it happened.
Concussions are usually indefinite, bone breaks are usually 4-6 weeks depending severity, soft-tissue recoveries are longer. It's interesting that they were so definitive on this long of a time.

I agree, I don’t remember anything. But with that timeframe, I’m thinking maybe a collarbone or something?

The way he throws his body into those hits I would also believe its a collarbone with that amount of time.

Wow. Losing a heart and soul guy like Walker is definately going to hurt. The man plays every game hard as nails. Jesus.

Walker was so far down on the list of players who were supposed to be the big contributors on this team. But yes, very much a heart and soul player. But I understand what you mean. Nathan Walker will never be thought of as the guy who put the Blues across the finish line. But he has definately earned his stripes. No offense, just sayin.'

It wasn’t a shot at you or Walker. They’re playing awful with everybody, they’ll still be bad without them.

I thought I read that it was blocking a shot.

Though I heard something like that as well.

NHL says wrist surgery yesterday, so who knows.
