Swayman played in 37 games last year while Ullmark put up a vezina caliber season, Ullmark played in 49. Levi at any level has never played more that 37 in a season, so there will be a transition period to the NHL purely revolving around usage, regardless of skill level adjustments. We saw for example how much Comrie’s numbers suffered when trying to expand his sample size. How many games do you predict/think KA expects Levi to start, next season? What’s a reasonable expectation? Are you comfortable with a combination of UPL and Comrie starting, probably at the very least, 37 games? I think you are correct in your analysis that KA probably is. Would you yourself be comfortable with a usage breakdown that is going to lean heavily on at least 2 of those goalies?

Bichette having a fantastic year, though. Has *16 more* hits than anyone else in AL. Leads Jays in OPS, AVG (.335), Runs, RBI, HR, and Hits (76). A bright spot for sure so far. Gotta find a way to lock him up LT.

4-3

What a tough stretch....

What an upset by the Germans

Wear them. Come on now.

Future Norris

Any other Harry Potter fans? My ranking of the 8 films (it alternates) 1 Half-Blood Prince 2 Prisoner of Azkaban 3 Order of the Phoenix 4 Deathly Hallows - Part 1 5 Deathly Hallows - Part 2 6 Philosopher’s Stone 7 Chamber of Secrets 8 Goblet of Fire

Ya. And the first 4 were on Prime. Kinda weird

It’s somewhat satisfying even though they aren’t here that Reinhart and Eichel have proven to be players that elevate in the playoffs, contrary to their Leaf counterparts. Dunno why, considering they aren’t even here, but somehow it is. Equity from previous Sabres vs Leafs debates I guess

Taking about consensus rankings and whether we “reached” is a good way to Bat signal @dudacekif you feel like losing an argument

Love Yellowstone and the spin offs

Diet/exercise?

I don’t really like jackets

Kinda looks like a Rook The Green Jacket, man Also NBA people do say Larry O’Brien a ton

I didn’t even pay attention to the EK stuff haha

More people know what the Cy Young is than the Stanley cup.

This is what people think Hellebuyck will cost. And most of the replies scoff at paying even that

Injury luck will play a big part, to your point. but load management is definitely on the way. No to the extent of the nba I’d say but on the way nonetheless

Could be a disconnect that stems from the fact that, regardless of what the core is perceived to be, our 3 best forwards are assuredly NOT a bunch of kids. Any future projection always seems to involve our “core” (not our current best forwards, for some reason) being melded in to one of the best offenses in the league seamlessly, at some vague point down the line, while said offence waits there, at the top of the league, in a holding pattern. ”this isn’t going to go the way you think!” is a possibility, here

I need to get around to watching the KA presser. He’s a great (I think? Really good?) GM who I absolutely can’t stand to listen to when he talks

Not for nothing there’s been plenty of portents foretelling load management making its way to the nhl

also definitely more famous.
