Scottish Open golf has a great field as many of the world’s best get acclimated to the time change and links style courses. Coverage doesn’t start until 11:00 so that is my complaint.

Thanks for the list, lots of research and thought put into it, Levi still gives me hope because he has been way better than UPL at the AHL level. How he handles the next step will be huge and I like his mental game better than UPL so his resilience could be the difference. Foot speed can be improved and Novikov should be focusing on this all off season. His skill set would be welcome to push Mule out the door if he can get a bit faster. Johnson making Bryson go away would be great even if he is only 5% better, I do not like Bryson and the timing of his latest contract was plain stupid. I can see Ziemer as a 4th liner down the road, a hard to play against Swiss Army knife. Richard’s development has been good and he has flown under the radar. He could be a very pleasant surprise in a few more years. Poltapov could take Greenway’s spot and maybe he has more offense. He sounds like another guy who is hard to play against. Strbak was a pick I loved and is another guy that brings some skill and snarl. Let them cook, and see what happens.

Thanks, I've been trying to find this interview for 2 days.

That you guy was drunk 🤣.

Seems like part of an interview. Not sure what he is talking about with books, but he seems intense Here is a link with the full interview

This is a disingenuous argument because every C wasn't good enough to overcome this. They literally won the Cup. McDavid lines up against Barkov, he lost the series... does that make Barkov better than McDavid? What about other playoff teams?

Doesn't change the fact that McLeod is not just a 3c. Which is your argument. Why can't McLeod be a 2c on a playoff team? What's your reasoning other than "he's a 3c because that's what he was in Edmonton"

Maybe but Im not gonna try and spelll any other Euro Ranger's last name starting with Z

I cannot decide which part is my favorite. The “off to a good start buddy” was classic, the warning of “you’re not scaring anybody” after the primal drunk screams, yelling BANG! every time he landed a punch, “I got it all on ree-cord,” crawling out of the water like Gollum, or the air time during the second time the dude gets flung down the hill. ESPN instant classic

Man, I hate golf.

Buy did we clear up the panini issue?

I can’t believe that guy just kept chirping away and wanting more after getting fed knuckles and tossed into the pond. Slow play my most hated thing about golf, but I don’t lose my sh*t over it.

No football and no hockey, worst part of the year.

So how long will this drag out?

We actually don't know what Buffalo offered him. But what are we arguing about anyway? It hardly matters. What matters is Adams did not fill that hole adequately when Ullmark left. He still hasn't.

Oh ya I thought you meant he could be a 2C on a playoff team. Meaning a good 2C. Could he end up as our 2C? Definitely. Will we make the playoffs? Definitely not.

It wasn't Boston per-say, it was anywhere new. He wanted a clean break and Boston offered him a contract he liked. For all we know his injury history scared most teams off but Boston and Buffalo both gave him solid offers.

Bump?

Well I’m glad we cleared up the Panera Panarin issue.

So, has Adams actually said he’s happy with the goaltenders?

I'd say first bold was true for too many NHL games. It's why Levi hasn't stuck. Second bold, I haven't seen that as an issue in the AHL. The questionable goals I've seen at the AHL level are more of the Ryan Miller whiffs from distance type. It's an interesting point to break down, but in general what you seem to be talking about is his ability to make high-danger saves, where a shooter has time to pick his spot? Don't have time to do a deep dive in to that, but I did see and post elsewhere on here where (big) UPL struggled the past 2 years in high-danger situations, whereas (small) Levi and Lyon were very good (top 10). I have no idea if that was representative of the league as a whole. Personally, I think coaching is pushing past the Robin Lehner giants by cross-crease movement attacks and controlled lateral movement is becoming vogue as the pre-eminent goalie skill, but that's a whole other discussion.

I didn’t say Stanley Cup contending 2C But, as with any conversation re: Sabres, I thought it was implied that when I say he could hack it as a playoff 2C that it meant we could qualify to be a playoff team with him in that role apologies if that was unclear I’ll worry about the playoffs if we ever get there
