Is there anyone left without one at this point? Maybe two guys?

He had to do it… but now never again please.

So they even have an actual camp? I just assumed it was nothing more than a couple attention grabbing press releases.

It’s not a thought, it’s something that has actually been sone for years on this board.

You’ve been around here for over 10 years and never realized that we typically do complaint Wednesday this one week of the year?

Or when it comes to the eastern conference this year, there are no good teams.

In honor of the annual complaint Wednesday, no sooner than when I finished telling my wife how bad of an idea it is to let our 1 year old walk around with a glass snack bowl, she then dropped and broke the glass cake stand she was washing. I hate those moments where you have to bite your tongue.

A generation’s best player tends to live in the heads of just about everyone.

Yeah, you’ll keep pushing some random Moosehead player on everyone the whole time.

And then we draft one and we’re all screwed. Thank god the team avoided Pommenstein when he was draft eligible in 2021.

I thought it would be worthwhile, but Rosen is a common name without the accent.

Did we ever actually find out what happened to Norris?

Is it rare though? I’m thinking that idea is born out of the media’s quick rush to declare a winner before the player has even thrown in the new jersey.

Has anyone else in here ever stood by Bourque’s table at a bar chanting “May day”? The place was too loud and I doubt he heard me, but in my mind I could see a single tear drop running down his cheek.

@Taro T, personally I think stud defenseman is the hardest position to replace. Right from the start, it’s a simple numbers game, being down 1 of 6 skaters vs 1 of 12. He’s out there for around 6 more minutes a game than any of the forwards. Id love to see similar stats on the other elite defenseman… if they’ve missed more than a handful of games. I’m guessing the drop off is very noticeable, maybe to a lesser extent with Makar.

One thing lost in that breakdown is how much overlap there is between those three players being out. It’s not just one guy. Ok, the Dahlin impact is obvious. We all know what they lose there.

I’m sure there’s a “Kesselring hasn’t played, so it’s a bust” article out there somewhere. Just give it some time.

No one is skating around inkman’s calves.

Update: Kesselring - DNP That part is still killing me. Any return from him at all and the talking heads would have to eat even more crow from their post-trade reactions this summer.

You have to be on something completely different at that price. Even their new streaming service that includes all the espn networks is $30 a month. Do you have the commercial free versions Disney and Hulu bundled in to get that price?

Ummm…. Wouldn’t everyone say that?

Are you using a vpn or something trying to mask or change your location?

But hey, there’s still Nashville and Calgary.

And the rags. It’s such a beautiful sight.

Just once I think it would be funny to see a player claimed off of the waivers for the purpose of release.
