Spezza always had a good shot and that is usually one of the last things to show serious decline with age. He might not have the wheels any more, but he still has something left in the tank. Class guy with a great work ethic. I'd be happy to have him in the Bolts bottom-six.

So every player was a B- or better this year. It's amazing they didn't win every single game.

It’s amazing you care so much about a team you don’t cheer for that you read every blog grading said team’s forwards

Do you want Dubas to send a rent cheque for the space the leafs occupy in your head?

Imagine a blogger being too much of a homer about the players on the team. That would be unheard of.

Then we agree on inflated marks to a degree is all. On contract values many marks are justified. Overall the season was a B imo meaning some players carried the team in certain regards & others were ok.

After that no one deserves more then a b-. Some guys border on it (Andersen, muzzin) but for the most part everyone else under produced.

Described him perfectly. Great player under a great contract at the end of his career. Could bring some added presence in playoffs.

Spezza always seemed like a classy guy, even when he was a Crapawa Senator.

Anyone else going to watch Canadian Felicia Spencer beat up on Amanda Nunes tonight? Undercard has been ok so far.

Someone here referenced the Trump speech, so I thought I'd post this here.

"Trump’s reference to Floyd was in the context of Americans agreeing everyone must be treated equally by police, not optimistic U.S. job numbers.

Despite their obvious blunder about what Trump said, which quickly went global and erupted on social media, few media organizations have corrected it."

B- is what, a low 70s grade? How B- should equate to winning "every single game" is beyond me.
- mjones242


B- was probably a highlight for that guy.

Also, it's grades on a blog, who cares.

Saying it was a great day for a guy who just got murdered by the cops is (frank)ed. Also Trump is a lying, racist sack of poop.
