That’s The Other Guys with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The Nice Guys is with Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. Both very funny movies though.

The problem with Buffalo is they sold off any talent they had pre Eichel to tank for him. Fast forward to today, and they still struggle to ice 2 lines of bonafide NHL talent. Forget the bottom 6.

The problem with the proposed trades in this thread is the Yotes would be strip mining their own talent depth to get Eichel. So you have him. You definitely can't keep Hall now. Who will he play with? Kessel? Washed. Schmaltz? Maybe. After that you have a collection of meh bottom 6ers that you're paying too much for.

I think Buffalo's problem was just bad luck in that Ristolainen is the most overrated player in hockey, no goalie, and MIddlestadt didn't work out.

But Reinhart is close to elite.

Eichel and Dahlin will be one of the best 1-2 combos for years.


If any of Cozens, Middlestadt or Ollaffson become elite they will be great.

Both Daddy's Home movies are funny, John Lithgow is hilarious in the second one.

Middlingstats might still work out, he's still young. It took Reinhardt what, 5 seasons to establish himself?

That's the problem. After Eichel, Reinhardt, and Skinner, all that's left is scrubs, hopes, & dreams. The kids need more time. There's nobody to bridge the gap.

People who like bad movies for bad reasons don’t get to tell other people their choices are bad.

No, he was good from his first full year. He finally started to get a little respect finally, but that's about it.

I'm not saying he's a bad player, just had difficulty living up to the billing of being drafted #2. Doesn't help when #3 was Draisaitl.

I guess. Draisaitl was always the second tier behind "the Sams" though. It sucks, but I'm not too broken up about it. I would've been pissed had Murray taken Bennett when Reinhart easily outclasses him.

Just stumbled on this movie list by accident, and damn I think James Tanner just became my favorite HB blogger based on his thoughts on MacGruber alone. Such a masterpiece. So many solid-gold comedy nuggets from start to finish. Don't forget about the song Kristen Wigg was singing when MacGruber came over to her house, and then the song "Rock My Body" at the end while credits are rolling--filled with cheesy 80's era mixed metaphors. Doesn't get any better!

Alright, now I feel obliged to say something about the Coyotes. So, I just learned today that your franchise is tied for the league lead in number of Jack Adams winners. That's pretty cool.
