correct and I had to put Leafs shorts on him due to complaints he was too sexy.

Miller and Johansson made this a better team. The rest of them still have most of the same warts as last season imo.

Promotion for Scandella

yes

great job on the GDT @jsb, enjoyable read, brought back some memories. updated TRpms... Casey making a move up the charts. Sheary > Rodrigues.

Not sold yet. Period.

My source isn't with Buffalo.

FWIW my source says Risto is still on the market.

He didn't even finish high school... college wasn't even an option for his lazy, money chasing assssssssss Watching the Ducks/Canes. Miller in net for ANA. Not impressed with the Canes so far, Ducks up 2 rip.

The Todd McLellan postgame is worth a watch. Really tears into his own players, calling out some as stupid, and rips Kovalchuck for shooting wide and taking penalties. The players must hate him.

92 shot attempts for the Kings. Ninety. Two. That said, I dont think they had any shots on net the final 5-7 minutes or so... progress?

They play much faster, not your father's Kings squad.

I think Risto is the same player he's always been. Physical, some offensive ability, but poor awareness and decision making in his own end. That said, all young defenseman struggle in their own end, but it's the lack of improvement in that area over the past 4 seasons that is a major red flag and for me. He has enough experience that he should've cleaned up that oart of his game, but he still makes way too many rookie type mistakes.

I've watched 3 full Kings games. They play hard, high effort level, but are mistake prone. If you can just hang around, not give them much, and capitalize on their inevitable mistakes, you'll have a good chance to beat them. That said, Krueger doesn't like to play that style, so I'm not too thrilled about their chances tonight on the backend of a back-to-back.

Ha, good point... not very much faith at this point, no.

I think Ullmark's comment is misguided. Krueger is more on point, they didn't lose because they were bullied, they lost because they didn't capitalize on the PPs and they tried to get too cute with the puck. McCabe had a nice quote when asked about the physicality.... "that's hockey".

lol, make up sex. Hopefully this game is more like a slump buster... like heading out to the bars on the eastside instead of the chip strip.

If they keep Risto just because "he's happy", then I've lost all faith in this franchise.

Jack Hughes has 0 points in 6 games and is a -4........ bust?

That was Okposo or Sobotka.

They're not trading Montour, that's absurd. They'll send Jokiharju down and put Bogo on LTIR when Montour is healthy.

If they had won the lottery and got McDavid, would they have been bad enough to win Dahlin? Would your rather have Eichel and Dahlib or McDavid and somebody like say Quinn Hughes?
