I get the Hyman thing and for the first 50 games it was great, but seemed like at the end of last season and playoffs he was much less effective at digging for the puck and coming up with it. Maybe he got tired or maybe dmen were more ready for him. He also loses it a lot and misses some decent passes so I dunno if I'm totally sold on him as a permanent winger for Matthews. A guy like Brown seems to be able to do similar things as Hyman but can also handle the puck.

I feel some explosive chemistry between us, Doc. Hope your emergency eyewash station is ready.

It was thought when the club signed free agent Patrick Marleau in early July, that he would patrol the left side with Matthews and Nylander.

Can anyone explain why komarov would get more icetime than brown?

Hyman Moore Komarov is a solid 4th line. Then brown with Kadri and Marleau, can't really call it a 3rd line since it includes 2 30 goal scorers and Kadri will face the top opposition lines. Lot's of depth up front

A few people have tried to explain the lineup to the masses, but it leads nowhere fast.

Yup. Written by Greg (Mark) and his ghost writer about his journey of meeting Tommy Wiseau and Greg's attempt to become a professional actor.

Yep, seen it several times.

Tommy even came to a screening once because it's so popular at a local theater here. They play it every month.

Maybe she had the runs...

Her pre-run meal is the Chipotles next door....

The boy in the house asked his monkey's paw for a woman to strip in the front yard every week...

Typical runner...

Okay I got nothing.

Tommy built a fashion marketing empire somehow beside a mafia run restaurant and never talks about it and gets emotionally enraged if you ask him about it.

Babs also likes to have a solid veteran line that he can put in all situations.

Marleau- Kadri- Komarov will get all the tough matchups, be super defensive and agitating, but still might pot 75 goals between them.
