Yeah, and it’s weighted heavily on ice time and penalty differential, which he obviously does great at.

But the dude is literally 0 threat to score 90% of the time he’s on the ice unless it’s the PP.

Again, really good player. #1 center for no teams that actually like goals

How do you only have 1 penalty all year?

People take accidental penalties all the time, I get that he didn't try (Allegedly) this year for some weird reason, but damn.

Anthony Duclair continues to weigh options. Unclear if decision comes today or not. Montreal and Pittsburgh among teams he's spoken with.

Ya posted this last blog. Before pagnotta did check the time stamps haha not chirping you at all not to post it again to be clear. But from what I said 2 hours ago on the last blog, there is 4 teams talking to him and pens and habs are the 2 front runner finalists to get him.

Once again everyone’s smarter than the head coach and Gonchar. All because some Peter piper somewhere “watched games” and counted dump ins.

Yeah. You think that too?

It all starts with the wizard-aliens. After the wizard aliens cast their Corsi spells before the game, they make sure the reverse vampires (who are invisible, of course) shove the Corsi spells up each player's rectum, the only orifice on the body that will ensure a spell to work effectively.

However, on the rare occasion, a Krampus or 3 will show up and use their enormous dongs to disspell the corsi spells and will instead use severed basilisk heads to concoct their own devlish corsi numbers.

That's the gist of it.

At least he doesn't talk down to his readers as much compared to when he first became a contributor here.

He doesn't talk to anyone... I cannot recall a single interaction in the comments...

I might be wrong but I thought they originated in Florida. A dudes mom bought him a Marcel Goc jersey for his birthday and he tried to become a Goc fan. Couldn’t figure out anyway to like the guy so he started counting dump ins on his spare time.

Serious question: would you rather have Luke Schenn or Jack Johnson?

I'm not opposed to Duclair as a nice buy low candidate. I do wonder what's causing him to be so inconsistent and bouncing from team to team. But if Duclair/Cullen/Simon are duking it out for your 12th forward, that's pretty dang good.

I really disagree with the opinion on Lou. He couldnt keep Tavares, that isnt all on him. He was basically brought in as Tavares was heading out. Best he could do was try to intercept him on his way out. Islanders needed to land a lot via FA to keep JT and unfortunately that wasnt in the cards. Aside from JT there wasnt much out there in terms of quality Centers. Lou had to fill the spots so he grabbed so temporary pieces. Lou is a smart guy, he didnt grab these guys expecting them to carry them to the playoffs.

Without JT the Isles are rebuilding.

And I thought it was only the Pens TV announcers that were utterly biased and off base about anything to do with the Isles.

Because you realize the entire hockey world is giving praise to the Leafs for a 105pt season and now with Tavares they are an even stronger playoff contender. And WHO is responsible for getting the Leafs in this position? The guy who “the game” has passed by? Who do you think laid out the game plan/salary structure, etc for the Leafs pitch to JT and made roster moves and cleared salary (phaneuf) for the past 3 years? Same guy.

No one is blown away by Komorov & Filpulla signings but Lou knows a hell of a lot more than you or me so I am going to be patient on this 2nd day of Free Agency and let things unfold for a bit and see where things stand by training camp.

It's not just our announcers. It started for all of us one fateful summer night back in '93, we all just hate you.

three years!? lmao

I would love to see some of you guys trying to sign players. “No one will sign! We need depth!” Your assistant, “Try offering more than vet minimum, with a buyout clause after 60 games?”, “But he’s over 25!”

In his press conference JR said "We lacked some leadership last year" is one reason they signed Cullen. Does anyone think the players who whore the letters may take offense to that?

I don’t see how. They are all the heart and character of the team. Never saw a team where the most talented players also play with the most grit and heart.
