He visibly broke after a dozen games last season. I can’t see him being a value add for more than that many. I hope it’s spread out over the season and not all upfront and we lose a dozen games in denial he’s out of commission.

Americas Team

Punter crisis averted. At least it made this week go faster. bring on the rams

I liked the reveal video. Color scheme is so 90s, where can I buy the starter jacket?

Tage was drafted as a guy with a great shot and a great frame they were hoping he could fill out. IIRC he never even scored an even strength goal in school they were all PP one timers. His recent season was all 5v5 play. He’s deferred much of those PP touches to Oloffson. And he still nearly potted 40. There’s some players that will always have a high shooting % and Tage is one of them. His shooting percentage playing 4th line grinder minutes isn’t relevant. None of those guys are feeding him passes like he does on a skill line.

People saying Tage was awful up until last year weren’t watching closely enough. He was a victim of bad coaching just as much as any. One of the lowest paid 1C in the league, almost scoring 40 goals. Can’t complain about that. He earned it. Some of this is makeup for the steal of a 3 yr contract he’s currently under.

Dungy was the same way up until Bob Sanders was finally healthy and they ran away with the title. Here’s to hoping Von Miller can finally give us what the soft zone needs to be successful.

It’s clear they aren’t emphasizing size much and are giving volume scorers a chance regardless of projected slights. I thought that could be a result of a data driven approach. Though I agree with the concept that if a player doesn’t show ‘it’ against peers they never aren’t magically going to start at the next level and too many draft picks were given a hand wave away for not producing cause they had a frame.

Better than Fitz

Blue gold goat is so ugly meh

He obviously went up after finally healing his head. But there’s no more up for him.

Oh boy that’s a lifetime moment right there

The offense was fine and it improved. Young kids all +1, only Okposo/Girgensons on downward trend. The defense was overhauled and got better everywhere but the 7D. We may have a capable starter who only needs to be average to make a 20ptn difference in the standings for us.

Lukewarm about the ending. Kim in the end just disturbed me all around. She was just so pathetic before Jimmy comes back to give her meaning again and this goes against how strong she was to leave him in the first place. Turned into an object for Jimmy and I thought she was built as a character much more than that. Great series though.

He’s already ‘dad’ and giving someone else the C isn’t going to change that. Im really glad he finally got over his head scramble and was serviceable last season. I’d expect him to maintain course. Still think it’s a mistake to give him the C. Let him wear the A and nobody the C and let the natural young leader step into it when they’re ready. Don’t repeat both Pominville nor Eichel, we’ve waited this long.

Say yes to monahan

Great series. Little lackluster of an ending so far in my opinion.

I liked when he played. Good depth

I never said high level. High school/ club college is plenty. My initial misread was never even actually playing

Team doesn’t need a center and it especially doesn’t need a JAG. A right wing vet maybe. A very skilled vet center sure. But It’s not a need, just a luxury and we can afford it. Has to be mutual tho and I’m not sure the league has quite bought into Granato. Gonna take one more season before the UFAs come.

Oops I misread the article it wedged her hickey career between soccer and grades and then later had a statement about her hockey history. Just poor writing all around. It dragged on about diversity hire and went on and on about it before her CV. I’d be pretty pissed if I was her about that. and uhh yeah it’s pretty important to have played hockey. Suits who can’t crawl in the business they’re in are all failures. Lots of management programs force new people onto the floor for a year before letting them advance. It’s the same deal.

She never played hockey lol.

That’s a viewers wet dream. People don’t want to believe criminals can actually be happy in the long term and leave on their own terms. Kim would be the exception, having dipped her toes in and then getting away. It’s not right if she gets away unless she’s the one to turn Saul in.

Bryson isn’t good. Every minute he plays is a failure on KA

Kulich gonna dominate in his heroic sprint to the NHL
