I wish there was one player outside of Eichel/Kane/Pommer who can exceed expectations this year at some point

Bailey looks good so far
I get what u mean though

I’m more focused on how groups are performing if that makes any sense

For example,
Getting the 3rd line scoring
(Regardless of who is on it)

Also...
u didn’t answer my question

Once the kids are up here contributing...
I think Larsson & Girgensons can be 2/3 of one of the best 4th lines in the league

He centered a 3rd line that played well last year

Saying he could be a part of a good 4th line isn’t overrating him

You’re pessimistic overagagerations are NOT facts

Johan larsson isn't on a playoff teams roster. He makes a non playoff teams roster. You cant win with a guy who will score 7 goals and is and offensive liability

When did I say “he is a stud” sir?
I think u might have reading comprehension problems

I think he could be a good 4th liner
That’s NOT overrating someone who has been a useful (not great, but decent at least) 3rd line guy

Ok...
that looks like a decent plan to me
But I think you’re assigning specific responsibilities to that 3rd line in that case

What I mean is,
I’m assuming u want that to be the line with the greatest defensive responsibilities
That’s fine, I agree it makes sense
I just don’t care if it’s called the “3rd line” or whatever
Drury was on our “1st” line for example & they had those responsibilities

Your proposed lines look like we have 3 that can score...
so I’m good with that no matter how they get numbered

I would want girgens, ror and okposo out when the other teams top line is on the ice


that is why I have them marked as 3rd

Got ya
That’s what I thought u were getting at

I agree with wanting them out there in that situation
I just don’t care what # line they’re labelled

That’s an ideal set up though
Having that top defensive line also have enough talent on it that it’s scoring goals
As well as having 2 other lines that can score

Seems like we are on the same page

Whereas they cut all the plot out of the first one I'm not sure the second one ever had one.

But you don't watch those movies for plot.

It's fine. Some funny jokes, but they tried a bit too hard.

Did anyone see Mike Schoops Season ticket article on wgr?

I dont agree with Schoop on a lot of things. But this was bang on.

He does realize that at "90" a game for 2 seats equals 7380 for THE YEAR!!!!. He'd have to own 10 seats at $95ish a seat to equal $78,000ish. You know the amount he and his friends have paid "this year". What a dolt....... No one care what you and your friends have paid. I know 300 season ticket holders at least. Want me to add all that up for this season let alone over the years to make a sh!tty point? Let alone one of them being season ticket holders since 1970 and owning 4 seats during that time.


Yeah go figure a fella in the media not re-reading his work and sounding like a cvnt.

Yep I said it. Stick to radio as it's what you're good at..... poorly but its the best you got pal. Managing a gas station is beyond your reach.

I'm a proponent of creating a healthy, supportive and educative work-environment. I've seen it pay off at 1 or 2 places I've worked and high turnover is never a good thing. I don't care about the higher ups and executives, I care about the employees.

No one is there or employees, especially not HR and this needs to change.

To think America can sustain under the current conditions when it's literally falling apart under them is straight idiocy.
