Fun fact: “Take me Home, Country Roads” was actually inspired by Clopper Rd in Montgomery County, MD, a county right outside of DC. While it is no longer a “country road”, it was back then. I don’t think this is the angle of them playing this song at a Caps game though.

I couldn’t even bulk up until well into my 30s. Wright just didn’t stay on. So, agreed, frame matters a lot. Of course, I wasn’t signed to a professional sports team where it would’ve been my job to gain weight. Maybe I could’ve done it, but I still don’t have a large frame. That genetic.

If he’s able to maturely articulate that he himself has probably been his biggest developmental burden, I might take him at 16. If he starts spouting excuses, then you politely wrap up the interview. Wouldn’t take him without speaking with his dad either.

Well, you never say never is his business. If he’s given an offer he can’t refuse, then he’ll listen. A trade offer. But, an offer sheet is him going out looking for a deal, not a deal coming to him. All that said, a goalie is probably the only position he’d consider.

KA was pretty clear he was going to select players with all his picks. He’s not going to give away that many picks for a single player. We’ve been down that road before.

The issue is why the NHLPA is even involved with them. They are amateur players and have never signed or played with any professional team, NHL or otherwise.

I would go even longer than that. Probably 4. Great teams need more than one competent goaltender at all times. I would prefer one bird in the bush now and see if we can’t get a 2nd one in there in the next 1-2 years, either UPL or Levi or whoever. Let the best one of all play the most games, but still go with the 1A/1B model. But, hope is not a strategy for any of our of goalie prospects to work out. We need a true starter next season.

You said it only had a 99.5% chance of happening as scheduled. So, this would fall under the 0.5% of not happening. Or, a 0.5% chance of it 100% not happening on Tuesday.

Draft lottery…

Let’s use an extreme example. Suppose you have 2 people. Person 1 plays the lottery only once and has an odds of winning 1 in 300M. Now, suppose Person 2 lives for over 900M years (or better yet, has an infinite lifespan) and plays the same lottery once per day for their whole life. Person 2 does not have the same odds of winning over their lifespan (that’s the key here) than person 1.

To allow Muel to fully heal.

Is Muel playing. That’s all we need to know.

Yeah, would want to grab him with the 15th and Nemec or Jiricek with ours.

So, who’s the Mike Peca or ROR in this draft? Wouldn’t mind a nasty shutdown center with the potential to put up 50-60 pts.

Can’t imagine this. It would be like our drafted NCAA players entering graduating from college each year. Wouldn’t be able to take it around here.

Didn’t we do that twice? Sounds like a Yogi Berra quote.

Nope. This would akin to a band re-recording all their hit songs.

Don’t think we’ll hear anybody losing their love for the game today.

He can. He’ll just have to buy one like the rest of us.

Maybe he’s having 2nd thoughts.

Guess I was a man before my time.

What does roached mean and are they going to have the cap space to give him a decent contract?

MICRO WEINER

The guy has been playing for weeks on said injured shoulder. When his coach starts to criticize his lackluster play, suddenly he needs surgery, a few games before season is going to conclude and they are pushing for a playoff spot. Your turn, how is this not quitting?
