Starting guys in their home town. Against their former teams. I feel like these kind of things are pretty common. I know they made sure Comrie got the start in his hometown of Edmonton earlier this year. If the team ever happens to be playing on a night where stone tablets and chisels are given away, you just know Anderson is getting that start.

1. Have career season. 2. Get mega-contract. 3. Blow career season out of the water I feel like we don't see this sequence all that often.

They were supposed to be this generation’s Brady and Manning. Josh may wind up being Phillip Rivers.

Google maps?

Two skaters from the rags getting votes in doesn’t look all that great either.

How do islander fans watch this?

I wonder if Quick has 24 more wins in him.

I just assumed it was the guard the bills traded this summer.

It’s more of a wand, isn’t it? Those things are a muppet staple. And look closer. You can see it on both arms.

We don’t need subtitles. Everyone here speaks Hasek.

There’s a separate listing for this event. I just found it.

Is there anything special to access this on ESPN+? I have nothing showing up right now.

I didn’t read it, but was it followed up with a story about the sky being blue?

Ok, Ray’s description of Mrazek on that goal was hilarious.

The story is written horribly. I have no idea what happened after reading that. Initially it read like a slap shot deflected up into the face.

Was there another tv timeout other than the 2 minute warning? They were not doing any commercial breaks in the 3 or 4 minutes leading up to that.

I think someone just called another time out.

Is that Ronald McDonald?

I miss having a goalie who can steal you games. It's kind of ironic that we're reminded of this a couple days before they honor the last one we had who could steal games.

You may or may not remember this, but my father-in-law was the same exact time. Up until your post I hadn’t realized that it had been so long. Now that I have a one year old of my own, I’m reminded of a few very important people who he will never know.

Right, and then if drafted again and he goes another two years unsigned, he’s off to UFA land. What’s 2+2? Those same 4 years for the college player. But I do absolutely love the ideas upthread where a team holds the draftees rights for eternity. If a guy doesn’t want to play somewhere, he’s just screwed. I think Kim Jong Un would approve.

The problem with this argument is that every single thing you described can also happen with a junior or European player. So why the animosity towards only one source of players?

I love it when this topic comes up. As you’ve outlined, the college player actually has less rights in the current system compared to junior players. And the solution people suggest is to restrict them even further. It’s absolutely brilliant.

And I wouldn't be surprised if he plays a game again before Tua does.

How long is it for IR, something like 4 weeks before they can return? That lines up well with a certain game.😁
