Shawn Michaels level sell by Peterka. That’s a real skill. Impressive Sh*t

Face off is a must

I think Randall mentioned (re: the very early returns) that the start looked similar to last season. Similar roster yielding similar start isn’t exactly surprising That’s a nice save by DL

Nothing better than that nervous sounding little cheer you hear when your tender makes a nice save when your team is losing. Nervous to make any real sound but instinctively they KNOW they gotta make a LITTLE noise its hockey season

That’s a nice save by DL

That’s a nice save from DL

Benson isn’t actually young looking and small we are all just old looking and fat

Dahlin pp assist Tuch a bit later OT?

Which is to say, I think that’s a great idea @Randall Flagg. I think the biggest reason teams don’t convert is because the whole thing gets disjointed being spread over 2 periods. But that’s purely anecdotal on my part

The next team to cash in with “the benefit of fresh ice” to start a period will be the first team to cash in with the benefit of fresh ice to start a period

It’s the 20s no lead is safe

Panarin beat him clean. Levi has been fine

It’s Halloween month …. … BOO! EXPECTATIONS! they can be scary

Where is tiger woods going to outscore me more: at pebble beach, or on the mini golf course? the harder the field to navigate, the more potential pitfalls the weaker will fall into @dudacek

I meant more so because it’s not really a zero sum game when there’s only one winner: and there’s only so much you can maximize 20 roster spots. put it this way: we were already headed into the flop with pocket Kings. A few teams are going to get to limp in with Ace Eight and potentially bite us in the ass with those extra cards to play Not really what I’m getting at. Perhaps I’m explaining poorly

I like the Power contract for the same consistent reasons why I disliked the Dahlin bridge. It’s not really important to me to stride the fence. my opinion on the Dahlin contract he got now is simply: He’s Rasmus Dahlin

It’s funny, I think it’s probably the opposite. These contracts looks to me to be Kevyn Adams handling the cap situation excellently - under the prism of how it’s already set up anything that makes the cap system EASIER to navigate for other teams moving forward probably weakens our advantage we were going to be one of the teams winning that game Tighter cap = advantage KA

Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Arizona, winnipeg

Probably rights the wrong of bridging Dahlin. A haircut would serve him far better in this pursuit

Then I disagree with the premise

I’ve found that to be perhaps a function of how much he’s speaking to the refs - and it sort of ties into a discussion I saw in another thread about how Crosby was disliked coming into league - there’s often an intangible bias against younger players. But if Dahlin actually *had* the C that comes with veteranship, I bet the refs mind all the yakking less

Hey, Mark Scheifele got 8.5 x 8 based on this principle

It’s a definite déjà vu feeling looking, year over year. Obvious Benson exception. I understand the aim for continuity - should be fascinating to see how it all unfolds
