one is a winning franchise


the other is a lottery franchise


the problem with dc, they tried to rush to catch up

the only thing dc did right IMO was develop lex luthor, and the man of steel movie


the justice league was a hot mess just throwing sh!t together, no reason to do it w/o a stand alone aquaman and flash movie

they got wonder woman right, for 40 minutes, then it went south

batman vs superman was moving along decent til they shoved doomsday in 15 minutes for it's era

marvel did it right and now they can throw anything together and they will in these next 2 avenger movies

- homiedclown


Agreed I knew Justice league would not be the greatest movie ever "it was supposed to be"

They should of did the solo films to introduce the characters it was rushed beacuse they're trying to compete with marvel so dumb

I'm sure people that are not comic nerds did not understand the flash story and Aquaman and cyborg ( who should have never been it !!!!!!!! He's a teen Titan (frank)ers

He took green Lantern spot ugh

And lex Luther sucks ass

It's probably almost time to reboot Batman for a new trilogy about his origins

They got the solo Batman film coming up with Deathstroke

But they will reboot the franchise once again the only movie that was DC quality was Wonder Woman

The rest (frank)ing trash

but bailey, baptise and e rod has only combined played 21 games, fasching has played all 19


smith is lw, not comparable as fasching plays rw

- homiedclown


LW & RW is often interchangeable

And I’m just grouping them by their talent levels, not their games played or specific production

We probably don’t have room for ALL of them in the big club
Since Botterill & Housley seem to want to focus on speed, that probably puts Fasching near (or at) the bottom of that grouping

Not every team will see it like that though
And someone who is talented at scoring near the net will most likely have some value

Anyways I'm I'm jealous of Marvel fans but I was born a DC fan just like sabres smh

We had that masterful trilogy with the Dark Knight

The sabres had that absolutely dominant team that could have won a cup if they stay together

I see Luke Adam 2.0, hope I'm wrong
- jcragcrumple


That’s a fair concern
As of now,
I’d think he still has “promise” though

Tough to say what his value would be
Each GM will see that differently to some degree

This needs to be GMJB's pitch to every GM about Moulson over the summer.

"His hands around the net are impeccable, his intangibles are off the charts (even though you can't chart intangibles). I'll give you Moulson and a 3rd for your worst prospect"

Then have Pegula put on a moustache and a hat and pretend to be an AGM no one has ever heard of:

"What a great deal! I'll take two Moulsons!"

serious question


we are going to miss the playoffs


if risto misses more time, short term injuries, it means more playing time for mccabe and antipin to develop for next year


I never wish an injury to anyone, but we are tied for last place, and right now it's much better to be bad, then have a run for 10th in the east

Yeah but you also rob Risto of a year of development.. and he still has the largest upside of anyone on our D-core.

The thing that would be so Buffalo we have the first overall pick and 3 teams jump us in the Lottery

I think that might be a breaking Point for some if that happen

We can still laugh at Edmonton.

My philosophy is that the only team you can't laugh at is the team that just won the Stanley Cup.

Everyone else is still a loser

What’s your question?

If it’s about what’s best for developing McCabe & Antipin...

Having Antipin &/or McCabe playing above what they’re ready for could hurt as much as help

Just play Ristolainen less, and direct some more playing time to the kids

This should also apply to guys like O’Reilly, Pominville, Okposo, etc...
when (IF) we decide to bring any of our young forwards up

I suggested we trade Mccabe in a package over the summer for Duchene and most people scoffed at the idea.

He’s looking pretty good this year too
I’d like to keep him playing,
just scale back his minutes a little

22min a night is fine
19ish for the other 2 pairs

Did you see the price Ottawa paid for Duchene? Seems very excessive, and we need draft picks and prospects else remain in this constant dread.
