More familiar than in the 70s, sure. But the East Coast still dominates; the modern fan on the east coast doesn't pay nearly as much attention to the west coast teams as vice-versa. Conferences have to be a thing IMO

Yup. Mitts really needs to step it up. I have a feeling he'll be a ton better next year, with a summer of conditioning and lifting under him

Playoff hockey, besides the seeding, is by far the best playoff format in sports. 4 seven game series? A 2 month long gauntlet for the most revered trophy in sports? It's amazing

Thank God we have our defense back. That is a such a pretty blue line

There's a few of them. In the short term view of winning the game you're currently playing, it can be momentum swings. In the long term view of your season, it can bring your team closer together and it can send a message to other teams around the league.

I mean we both know that's not the end goal of fighting. And Wilson, for all the crap he gets, is an important player to that team. It's not John Scott running around out there

How is he defensively? Pretty sure Wilson is an albatross

I really don't think Wilson is an upgrade over Pommers. Is he faster? Yeah. but that's about it

Poll?

I don't disagree. It's a matter of finding them I suppose. Plus, if Housley is determined to have a shutdown line, like he has shown so far, and it works, like it has this season, I would expect them back

Larsson and Girgs are likely coming back too

Would it though? He has 4 points in 23gp and his advanced stats aren't great either. CJ Smith can easily play better probably 9M+. 8M+ at the very least

I mean Thompson still sucks But the Blues suck too Then again, Sobotka sucks On the other hand, the Sabres are really good But, O'Reilly is also really good Though he may be a cancer too So I'm gonna go with...maybe?

Per year over the next 4 years too for a guy that was gonna be 34 at the end of it. This is awesome for us

Going to be very interesting to see if he gets a better contract from someone else

Spittin Chiclets was saying they've heard Berglund's agent failed to submit the list of teams for his NTC, and Buffalo was supposed to be on that list

Was he not playing with Eichel last night? It wouldn't really surprise me. If he wasn't though I'd be curious to see who he was playing against, and with Also, anyone find it weird there's no practice today?

But how are we excusing him?

Mitts maybe but Dahlin is legitimately playing better than some team's top pairing defensman. I'm not going to neuter our phenom, I'll take the gaffs And he should be focusing them on their personal development. 1000%

'The Lobster' on Netflix is pretty damn unique. Great watch though

If I'm Fields I'd book it for Oklahoma. Lincon Riley has done pretty well with his last two QBs

Well that's gonna launch Florida into teams I now hate

Good job MSG ?
