    McDermott doesn't care for, and apparently doesn't need Marcell. It's interesting. The Whaley way clearly contemplated paying a king's ransom to one elite big-boy DT. It's clear that McDermott does not see the need to do the same.

    Between that and the quote someone posted yesterday about how he wants to know some stuff about his coach as a person -- he's an interesting dude. The video posted today of the circle after practice - Kane was the first one to reach Eichel in the middle. Eichel has more than a little of the Boston arsehole swagger to him. I can see him liking Evander's outlook on life. Concur. I've had three chances over the years to differentiate between a ~$150 bottle and a ~$25 bottle. I'm 0-for-3.

    K Between the "great news, but..." folks (there were a few) and a mod's "nbd" take, I'm somewhat at a loss at how there's not a more unanimously celebratory vibe up in here. I think there's a better than 50% chance that the franchise just locked up the player who will come to be known as the greatest Sabre and greatest hockey player ever to play for the team. (At present, those titles are held by two different players, IMO.) In light of that:

    For the same reason that I came to admire Watson for playing big in the biggest games, I soured on Jackson after tuning into his game against Clemson.

    I'm telling you.

    the fook? this is a big effing deal.

    Word.

    It's Eichel's team now. https://twitter.com/Matt_Bove/status/915602935228325888

    I legit LOL'd.

    ^ Okay. I suspect the team’s scouts are looking at lots of players, yeah?
  11. That Aud Smell
    Wut.

    FFS, anyone coming with the “great news, but ....” C’mon.

    So happy. More later.

    Well now wait a got-damn minute.

    Falk and Rodrigues are placed on IR. So, that's the roster. For now.
  16. That Aud Smell
    Yep.

    It's been a disappointment how Nylander's camp and preseason were short-circuited by injury.

    And that thing where he seems to rest on each outside edge of his blades. That's not textbook, I don't think. But it's awesome.

    Didn't mean to imply otherwise. Didn't mean to say anything inconsistent with whatever that is. I don't know enough about skating to know, but I've heard two or three people make comments about he's got some unusual aspect(s) to his technique(s). What I'd heard is consistent with what NB posted above.

    I love that clip. I also love how the still-shot Kelly uses several times has Eichel pictured with that odd, fundamentally "unsound" thing he does with his skates. (NFW the kids are taught to do that -- Eichel just developed it on his own because he's maybe sorta not entirely from this planet.)
  21. That Aud Smell
    I guess we should have seen that coming.

    I'll see if I can look for it. I clicked a link on Twitter last night and read a very, very detailed account (replete with links to retailers (e.g., EBay stores)), but did not fave the Tweet. The replacement part is evidently an item that certain federal legislators have been railing against, to no avail. To another of your comments, it is with regret that I essentially acknowledge the truth of what Dan Hodges had Tweeted a couple years ago (after another mass shooting (Charleston?)): "In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over."

    Heel, boy. Heel. /pats head

    I don't see the need to venture into politics, tbh. Sociopaths -- which we have to assume this guy was -- have been able to mask their nature and urges for a long, long time. Buffalo's infamous Bike Path Rapist is just one example of the type. I think I was imprecise. It does not appear that this guy was so mentally ill as to be mentally incompetent. He appears to have known very well what he was doing. But, for sure, he had to have been a sociopath, which, yes, is a serious mental disorder (not sure whether that is distinct from an "illness") found in the DSM.

    It’s to the point that whenever I am in what appears to be a “soft target” area, I feel regular pangs of anxiety.
