Conboy will be available to play in tonight’s game against the Montreal Canadiens at the RBC Center.

Every time I see Tim Conboy I get that Queen song “Stone Cold Crazy” stuck in my head.

He probably will not fight due to the fact he is coming off of a bad head injury….

May we please Trade Staal???

According to the main website Conboy is in for Joni. Our Defense will finally be 100% different than the opening day roster. My guess at lines:

Pothier – McBain
Rodney – Carson
Conboy – Harrison

5 Rats and a guy we traded for. Since our team defies logic we will probably end up shutting them out, while holding them to 15 shots.
