I've met Justin before, he's a great guy. And also big and strong. He's lacking talent and what I'm considering "heart". Maybe heart is a bit harsh, but he's missing the "do whatever it takes" that Matt Ellis had. Matt played way bigger than his size, not smaller.

I was a huge fan of Carlton Bailey. Big part of some afc championships

All good points. I'll avoid getting getting into the Matt Ellis intangibles conversation, but my point is I personally don't draw any correlation between heart and performance. Erod may just be better at hockey.

It's also a very weak relationship between "heart" and "Penalties."

This only requires 3 minutes tops

And if youre spending 5 minutes kissing you need to get over your fear and just make it happen

Let's just go with Justin Bailey lacks the ability to play in the nhl at this point. He clearly has bounced back and forth thru out his career.

He's not bringing what nick delarious or marcus foligno bring. Fighting, hard checking and fore checking. ( what it takes "attitude" to find a niche and stay in the nhl) regardless of skill

He's not bringing goals or assists

He's not bringing consistency.

I'm I missing something?

We have Jordan Nolan for this. Bailey's is only good in coffee at this point.

If Bailey turned in Foligno-type production, I'd be fine with that.

Bailey was a 2nd and Foligno was a 4th, so that's kinda tough.


DLO brings nothing particularly useful to a team as far as I'm concerned

I'm an idiot.

I'm looking at the screen going, "They sell medicine in packs of 18???"

This from the guy who fully typed frank as well not realizing the system changes it.

have we ever had a norris finalist?

Yeah, he stands behind the bench every night.

Edit: I can't read I guess, Housley was 3rd in Winnipeg, but he did have 2 5th place finishes here.

Twin Peaks was and is the best tv show, ever. Special Agent Dale Cooper is the single best character that has ever graced a tv screen. The story (which was meant to be closer to a soap opera than a recurring show) is funny and dramatic and sad and creepy, and the eye candy is off the charts.

Every single decent show on tv or cable in the last 25 years has rid on its coattails. Without Twin Peaks there would have been no Sopranos, Lost, TWD, X Files, Mad Men, Legion, Stranger Things, Boardwalk Empire, etc etc etc

If you like tidy stories that wrap up all the loose ends and don't make you think about things a little differently, then don't bother.
