We should be able to score on the Blues. The only question will be our D and G given the last couple games.
I'll go with Wild Win 4-2 again.

They put a block in so I feel nothing now but tomorrow will be a different story. Not a fan of pain pills but I know the pain that is about to occur so I’ll cave in and take some as needed. Thanks for your concern. Appreciate it
