Why not just enjoy a season of Taylor Hall and Eric Staal and see where they end up?

They could get hot at the right time. Their chemistry could be off the charts.

Ullmark was very good 5v5 last year. If he/they can improve the PK, even by a few % points, they're competing for a playoff spot.

This doom and gloom and predictions of failure are laughable.

"That's why they play the games".

Well they were playing a defensive system at 5v5 but with the player personnel they have brought in this offseason it looks like they may open it up a bit.

Ullmark will have to take a huge step forward to maintain those numbers he put up last year in that case as he will be facing more high danger scoring chances.

Oof. Maaaybe. Hutton has a higher ceiling and a lower floor. Old ass Ryan Miller will give you 12 games at .905

So, in review after Thursday's interviews, the Broncos:
--Will face the 10-3 Bills down, after losing five CBs in three weeks, to three CBs on roster, including one who was signed last week, a rookie and a player the Broncos already cut once this season.
--Are likely, if NFL medical staff doesn't approve it, playing without K Brandon McManus (COVID-19 protocols).
--Will list RB Melvin Gordon (shoulder) and RB Phillip Lindsay (hip) as questionable.




given the first part, pretty sure it's gonna be pass first for allen if the weather allows it

They were one of the last teams to make it in,
and did so with Kuemper carrying them on his back

So they weren't TERRIBLE they just weren't very good, but good enough to make the play-ins.

Lost in this conversation is that with a 56 game schedule, a backup only needs to play 10-12 games. Can Hutton go 5-4-3? Probably

what?
https://www.espn.com/nhl/...e/_/name/ari/seasontype/2

kuemper played in 4 of the last 32 regular season games for the yotes, and went 1-3 in those games


so the 2 points he won in their last 34 games got them in the playoffs?

he got the yotes 2 points in their last 32 games

clearly got them in the playoffs

of course they were 7 points ahead of the ducks, so even w/o those 2 points they were getting in

McManus is among the leagues best kickers. Him not being able to play definitely makes an impact.

Interesting. So they were ahead of 9 teams? And "TERRIBLE"y in the mix for the playoffs?

I am showing a great interest in the phrasing.

Lee Smith was wide open on the right side doing a wheel route.

Would have went for 6 points

But then you wouldn’t have this gif so I guess it’s worth it

McManus is very good from 50+ as well.

In Denver you can kick 60 Yards with room to spare.

Could be a prop bet there for you betting on Bass to hit one from 60+ On Saturday

Hey man I’m just telling you the honest truth.

Lee Smith was wide open on that play.

You ended up scoring anyways.

C’est la vie.
