  1. No. But Subway sucks regardless
  2. I think I mostly agree with your opinion on 4T
  3. I guess the thing is, he was 10th in scoring for F on our team last year with 26 points. So when you say bottom 6, it’s more like bottom 3, without an upsurge. If a few of the prospects graduate, he might actually just be a true bonafide bottom 6er who, yet, isn’t good enough to be on the team. Depends on his all around game I guess. For my part, it’s not that he has to go, he’s just frankly one of the players closer to the end of the plank even trading Olofsson, a lot of people think he’s more of a 13th man. Krebs could just be a milestone of sorts: a player we trade purely to upgrade to better when we already had good enough- which I’m not sure we’ve seen yet
  4. As a neutral, I’ll root for 7 games
  5. Jost - Cozens - Tuch could be really good
  6. I’m 54 years old
  7. Honestly? I just wanted to post that gif again Don’t disagree with the bold
  8. @PerreaultForeverattempting to dodge @Curt’s well aimed/reasoned punches in this thread like
  9. Need a D-backs win. Would at least make the series interesting and the Rangers can win at home if it comes to that
  10. I suppose there’s sort of two questions: why didn’t they move him, but also: why didn’t they replace him with a better player everything you said makes sense provided there was no one else better that could have been reasonably acquired to be that 13th man
  11. I don’t expect their salaries to be very comparable either, though, so I’m going to hold serve on this one
  12. There’s also that stat Pi has frequently alluded to about our goalies being better on the road: look for a good performance from 6k tonight
  13. I don’t get the trade in division thing. Surely if you don’t think he’s any good that supersedes the fear you’d get from playing against him? Haha If you don’t want to trade him in division because you are fearful it’ll bite you in the ass you wouldn’t have a hard-line view on his ability in the first place or at least not a wholly negative one: in which case the reason is more likely that they expect he can still contribute
  14. I don’t really like the “7 million for a 3C?” argument. Imagine the Pens lowballing Malkin because “hey actually you are our 2C”. Position they play is merely semantics if the actual production is representative of more
  15. I guess Adams figured he was the best available option even after Quinn went down? I don’t really understand it either but seeing what we’ve seen from KA, even if he’s going to play AHL guys over him, I don’t think he moves Olofsson unless he breaks at least even in the transaction itself
  16. Ya ur probably right
  17. If there are posts calling Thompson Quinn Casey UPL pricks, I withdraw my argument and again, it’s obviously not about standing up for the players you believe in. It was the idea that those who criticize the players or team online aren’t fans. Which is the inference I take from “fans”. It’s admittedly a huge pet peeve
  18. Well, you’ve moved the goal posts (fittingly I guess given the subject matter) in the span of a single post. You didn’t mention anything at all about personal insults in the post I quoted - of course I am against that and if you mentioned that in thread and I missed it, I apologize But I am well on record on this board saying, over the course of multiple posts I will quote if necessary, that my issue with the Eichel stuff *always* was the personal attacks questioning one’s viability as a fan merely because of the presence of whipping boys, or because they doubted someone or the team would be successful, doesn’t jive for me, im sorry it just doesn’t
  19. I wonder if this kid likes Star Wars
  20. Like in a single game? I also read online they were the first team in a World Series to score 5 in back to back innings
  21. Very salient
  22. Turned it on and it was already 5-0 in the second. The worst. Nothing against the Rangers just a neutral observer who loves baseball Thought we might be in line for a classic series after what we saw in the league championships.. looks like we might be getting something more along the lines of what we saw in every postseason series this year before that round
