How long did that celebration go on for?

I was going to mention that. I’d love to know who that was.

Now go back 9 games ago and read the post-trade deadline comments here about him and Jokiharju.

What, that wasn’t part of the catchy jingle?

Just go play the games instead

I’m about to hit the 10 year mark in my house. There are two lights that I very rarely turn on because once those bulbs go, I have no idea how I’m going to reach them.

It was a perfect storm with a poachable team. It’s a very specific scenario that won’t readily be repeated. Teams don’t want to waste time negotiating with the good chance of waking away with nothing. And players don’t want to do the same and then wind up with a different team.

I just saw the highlights. That was a beautiful assist from Cozens tonight.

If he pans out and they walk away with three legit NHL centers out of that first round, that’s one hell of a win. If we’re stuck with an annual rebuild, that’s at least a very nice building block.

Picking the goalie from the team flirting with the Presidents’ Trophy for your analogy was a bold choice. The name you were looking for was Robin Lehner.

People always run with this 3d/4d chess analogy, but you can still play a game even if you suck at it.

I'm not really sure why any of these guys would leave some of these powerhouse positions. Yeah, the pay's not as good, but the job security is great. Hakstol, Quinn... these guys should have never left. They could have been perennial powers and legends at their schools. Instead they're bouncing around from job to job every couple of years, dragging the family all over the country.

Is there more story there because he’s not even quoted in that tweet. He may very well have said exactly what you’re hoping for.

No self respecting college hockey announcer calls it a Michigan. And that defenseman was not sensing anything. He saw a player with his head down and feasted on him.

A question for the masses: who in this draft (and currently in our system) plays that game?

But he’s 19, so clearly he’s never had a beer. Oh wait, we already established that miller lite is not a beer.

They called up a guy to sit in the press box. How dare they.

And that’s how it has to be. They can’t just call up players at will. They only get 4 non-emergency call ups the rest of the way, if they haven’t used some already. That’s also a part of why they can’t just shut down UPL and move Levi back and forth a few times.

And he’s still a teenager…

This just popped up during a random google search. We might be in trouble.

Ha, I love reading this well after the fact. It makes it look like they’re scoring at a rapid fire pace. They probably could right now.

Dudacek understood it. I read that as consensus among the talking heads, not the team. I’m pretty sure you’d agree that among the talking heads that really doesn’t exist at even 15 or 20, let alone 41. Dudacek understood it.

No offense, but “consensus choice at 41” has to be one of the most obscure and pointless factoids I’ve ever heard. I’m not so sure such a thing even exists. I can’t even think of a funny analogy for this one. Maybe something like @DarthEbriate already used up all the well know characters for his latest Star Wars reference, so he had to go with whatever background character Cliff Claven played in Empire.

I’m not sure what reaches the point of a “shake up”, but that image had every single forward slot staying internally. There’s absolutely zero chance that happens. I have can’t imagine that this has ever happened the the post-expansion era of hockey.

Football is so different though. You’re not calling up your prospect QB from the minors when Trent Edwards checks down yet another pass.
