played with/against countless pros over the years... from summer league in Buffalo in the early 90's with guys like Mogilny, Turgeon, Andreychuck, Marchant, GMKA.... to present day beer league in orange county with guys like Bieksa, Friesen, May, Yake, Upshall, Blum and young local kids like the Buium brothers, Trevor Connelly, R Johnson, etc. what separates the best of the best is their compete level. for them they just cannot turn it off, doesn't matter if it's a 10-1 game at 1a on a Tuesday or game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. you'd think, oh this guy is 50 years old now and playing beer league... he's won stanley cups! why the ***** is he trying so hard out here 🤣 i've talked to those guys about it and dialing it down is not even an option. it's just how they're wired. all of them are immensely talented, but not all of them have that "must win at any cost, all the time no matter what" mentality. ...it's when you pair up the freakishly athletic and talented with that obsessive compete level you end up with the top players in the world.

0 goals.... ZERO .... and that's our first line winger?

Timmins is somehow a -1 😂

Bryson?!

Soderbum

won the trade

.800 sv% smh

He probably popped it back in and got a shot of toradol.

maybe Byram was the problem

yes

Partially agree. They lose because, organizationally speaking... losing is acceptable. Nothing changes.... front office stays the same, coaches stay the same, players don't lose ice time, nobody is healthy scratched, waived or traded. The only changes are when players themselves decide they no longer want to be there. A winning organization holds their employees accountable.

With this front office, and his contract, UPL has until 2030 to prove himself.

No need to tune in... they'll come out listless, fall behind by 2 goals, storm back late in the third to force OT then lose. See you guys Friday.
