Weave

Yeah, yeah. Context. Pittsburgh could not have possibly tanked. They were coming off a lockout season.

That was about as clean an open ice hit gets. Unfortunate result though.

Jan 6 and 3 pages an hour prior to puck drop. Man this team needs an enema

Crosby was not a tank effort. They won the lottery in a year we had the better odds.

Sponge worthy was weird.

Maybe it’s enough to make you wet, but I doubt the rest of the league and fanbase is going to agree that a solid, responsible, 2nd line center is a bonafide all star.

That’s what my doctor said as he filled out the prescription form.

Plausible deniability. Noice.

My 315 month old son still hasn’t learned that lesson. Neither has my 688 month old wife!

Where are we in the cycle? We lost the last game, right? Good to go then. Yeah, I’m not betting on it.

Interesting observation.

I like the concept of it. We’ll see if EJ has it in him right now.

Me either. He doesn’t strike me as the ultra intense type. Don’t know that I see that trait anywhere on this roster.

It hurts because it is true.

It’s not that Power isn’t punishing (although I would certainly welcome that). It is that Power seems to actively avoid contact. You rarely see him wedge players off at the wall. He seldom puts a shoulder into a forward in the corner or behind the net. And he doesn’t engage physically in front of the net. He is content to defend at arm and stick length. It seriously limits his effectiveness as a defender. Would I love to see Pronger 2.0? You betcha. But we aren’t even seeing Tony Lydman 2.0. If he doesn’t learn to use the body he has, he’ll never be the 2nd pairing guy we sorely need.

Please, no.

That would explain Pegula’s attraction to KA. Pegula has been described on these pages as a rube by several, myself and likely you included.

Hope its not concussion related. Tyson Jost, we hardly missed ya.

I cannot imagine Iran really believed that a proxy war using Houthi’s would be successful in any way. I wonder their endgame?

We had a sociopath for an owner. That didn’t work either.

This is why I was vehemently against going with a young, unproven roster. You have to get the core expecting to win, and learning to win right away. The fundamental flaw of the last 12 years had been a continued plan to have the kids carry the play and not supplying them with enough proven performers that can pick up the load when the kids inevitably falter. You can’t have this many young players AND have enough proven vets to back them up.

I’m not so sure anymore.
