Weave

Creepy. As. *****. I'll allow it.

Lids already had all star and Norris votes in year 4. Noone is worried about Raz's points. Raz puts up offense but can't play reliably in his own zone.

Where were they at their 4th season in their own end? We didn't finish last for Phill Housley.

Underappreciated or unnoticed snark here. My sigh was because this kid is starting his 4th season now and he's still making enough gaffs that this supposed Lidstrom in the wings (see what I did there) is getting conversation about moving him to F because his D just isn't coming along. We're on savior #2 here that can't seem to live up to billing. Yeah, I know, spare me the he's young stuff. This is his 4th season. He HAS to show progress on his overall game.

*sigh*

He’s sure not inspiring confidence that he has a future in the NHL.

Could this be the worst lineup the team has ever iced in preseason?

I don’t think he’s an NHLer in most organizations.

I can’t decide between 2 and 3. Leaning 2. He’s trending JAG IMO.

LOL looks like you weren't even lose.

The obvious question that nobody asked.... HTF do you pronounce his last name?

I think #3 is a legit concern, but I suspect #2 is most likely this season.

There is a full spectrum between those two bookends. Going straight to pretenders is why you catch so much flack.

Term.

Let me guess, the crowd stayed home today?

Lehner is also calling out the league in general today, mentioning benzos being handed out without prescriptions. He’s on a mission to call out what he sees as treatment aimed at the teams interests, not the players. Say what you want, he wears his heart on his sleeve.

Biggest enigma on the roster. We have to now why his scoring fell off a liff before we an predit if it will come back. My best guess is it will partly come back with increased usage in prime scoring situations.

I like #2 here as well. 40ish pts and some solid evidence of his limitations this season. He’ll be asked to do more than he should because he’s what we’ve got. At least he’s a little better prepared for it this time.

Leaned on for top 4 minutes and disappointment seems to be the most likely result. Hes not a top 4 defender, but he will be used that way this season.

Last season Cozens was “banging down the door” in preseason. I think he’s got some jitters.

I’ve listened to some of these. He is definitely entertaining.

Lets not go too far. He ran the team into league operation for more than just criminal reasons. The team was on the verge of financial collapse.

Last day at work yesterday. Received much more of a send off than I expected. Was only there 13 months. Had multiple directors give me their personal contact info with instructions, if your next job doesn’t work out please call me. Flattering. New job starts bright and early Monday AM. Very excited.

Pics or it didn’t happen

I expect nothing. Then again I expect nothing from half the lineup this season.
