He was going to be a healthy scratch tonight against the Flyers. Gainey wanted to dress Ivanans to toughen his team a little bit, but then right before the game he changed his mind and dressed Jan Bulis.

Bulis answered with a career-high 4 goals performances.

Thumbs up for you, Jan.

what the hell does all this mean

going to be a healthy scratch?
wanted to dressed?

healthy scratch means he's not scratched because he's hurt, he's just not going to play for whatever reason

what scratched him? An angry cat?

a stocky hick

doesn't hurt when esche lets in 5 of 15 shots.

Thumbs up for you, Jan.Merci beaucoup, dude.
