He misplayed the puck again. And while Power did cough up the shortie, Georgiev acted like he was going to cover up the puck, only to release it to Power at the last second. No doubt caught him off guard.

They've ALWAYS had the deferments reflect the particular year the money is earned's NPV during the Salary Cap era. Which is why when a player actually made use of that benefit this past year it was silly that people were going nuts about there being cap circumvention. There was no such thing happening.

Stupid play by Georgiov.

Tic-tac-toe Östlund. 1-1 Yes.

Östlund

Awful miscommunication there between Georgiev and Power. Shorti Wings.

Great PP

Sabres power play coming up. Too many men: Red Wings. Ooof.

The league is pushing kids into the line ups sooner than they used to, that is true. I'd argue against Dahlin being pretty good right off the bat but it's not worth getting into. The point overall is they learn bad habits and lack the physical size and muscle to learn to play the right way. Risto is actually the perfect example. A guy who got messed up and didn't know who or what he was. Cozens can still be fixed but he has to unlearn and relearn. He might, he might not. My basic argument would be if your line doesn't have a veteran on it (preferably two) it's a bad idea and Cozens-Quinn-Peterka was a bad idea. Rookie D not paired with a veteran also a mistake. You'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise.

Adams:

Krebs with the big scoring chance.

Download the RedWings app. You can watch the game on there

It's freaking aggravating!

What is the logic in making this game "unavailable in your area" ? It's a preseason game, it's not on sportsnet +, so what does anyone gain by not making it available? It's almost like they don't want fans.

Another day a fan (me) can't watch this game outside the WNY market. BOOOOOOO!

Just like Sasquatch, everyone believes it exists.

We can't rewrite it. But it's not how you build a roster. You support your top picks with veterans. That team was $17.2M EEE under the cap. And they wouldn't have had to mortgage the future with 8-year contracts to do it. They should've had a veteran defenseman to support Power (and push Bryson out of the top 6) and a veteran 2C-type guy instead of Cody Eakin. They had money to get another NHL goalie to spell Anderson. Powers' numbers should have been better.

Perhaps, the people getting the jobs are from minority groups though. He has only been applying for promotions the last few years, they may think he’s too old now. He’s got a good work history but has started making waves since being passed over.

I can not explain how tickled I was watching Alien: Earth. I mean throw a Zenomorph into anything, and I’m game but the acting by Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant and a couple others is fantastic. The other aliens are super creepy, the dystopian money rules society is about as realistic as future as I can picture. Just thoroughly enjoyable.

Power finished 3rd in rookie of the year voting. He had 35 points and was +10 playing 23 minutes a night with Henri Jokiharju and Ilya Lyubushkin. My God people, why this desperate need to rewrite history?

Whats your team name lol? Not sure if I have the horses to make a trade but with Evans going down, leaves me open for a spot

Rasmus Dahlin was pretty good playing defense his rookie year too. You'd have a hard time proving Myers or Risto were rushed considering their long careers. Cozens, idk, I think he just reached his peak and fell off. I guess we'll know after Ottawa plays him this season. Every single nhl team though, has a Myers prospect or a Ristolainen. A first round guy that didn't spend 2-4 years at a lower level.

Or, you know, don't play Power 23:48 per game in his rookie season. And get him a stalwart, experienced, defensive D-man who can cover up his mistakes, clear the crease, and protect him. These guys are out there every offseason -- get one who is between 28-32 years old and tell them you can ship them to a contender if you're not in playoff contention -- because that's how Adams wins. In Powers' rookie season: Luke Schenn was 33, Brenden Dillon 32, etc., etc., etc. Then, play them as a third pair for 14:00/night EV, and give Power some PP time. Invest in your #1OA investment! Erik Johnson was a year or two too late, and no longer capable of being that guy. Heck, Kesselring still hasn't proven he can be that guy. Certainly not yet in the playoffs. Jokiharju, who is underrated by this board, is a good defensive player. He plays the system, he does what the coach asks, but he is not big/strong, crease-clearing force. In Powers' rookie season, he was only 23 years old. He wasn't the fit.
