Agree there KruDams will be forced to make a trade. Maybe a d man will finally be moved.

Of course with KruDams they’d trade McCabe and move monte to the left side.

But other than the Az goal tenders, who might be available?

I thought maybe bishop but he had surgery and is out till March.

Flury is another but man that would be a cap nightmare to pull off...

And the Az goalies might cost too much to get, even though it might have to be the best option....

As far as I’ve heard, the Arizona goalies seem to be the only ones in play
But that was also before the season started
Idk if they’re still ok moving one of them?

Fleury i want absolutely nothing to deal with
Besides that ridiculously horrible contract (which we definitely don’t need more of)....
He’s old at 36, and been declining the last 2years,
so i think he’s doubtful for a bounce back
Remember,
He was struggling in PIT for a little bit too before he had that 1 good season in Vegas

You’ve probably see me say it before,
but i think Kuemper is ideal for us
He’s got this year, plus next year left on his contract- at a very reasonable 4.5mil
Gives us time so we don’t have to rush UPL
And give us a top10 goalie for NOW,
which can obviously be a huge help in our playoff run

With all the Covid protocols and whatnot, I'm not sure he would even be allowed to be active this week. They put Devonta Freeman on the practice squad because of it, and Kenny Stills is still there. I'm not sure what point it makes at this point. They have a maximum of two games left.

I’m not sure
But i was thinking more for the Super Bowl anyways
Tough to learn the playbook in just a week

He’d be a reasonable option if Singletary gets hurt
Even if he’s just in a reserve role

Funny here, I have heard Paul Hamilton has blocked a ton of people on Twitter.
I don't use Twitter at all..only to view links like this...read the tweet, then close it down, maybe I read 10 tweets a week, if that. I don't remember ever having responded to a tweet, apparently I did, lol.

I tried to connect to this tweet, and boom, found out he blocked me.

Probably your skip baylessism approach to conversation?

Late in the game on Saturday, Buffalo called a tackle eligible and tried to pass it to Dawkins.

Odd play, I get the "let's get dion" a td. But, he's very valuable to our success and shouldn't be running any pass patterns 25 years down field. Plus we should have been running out the clock.

I like the short oline eligible play, at the goal line

Other interesting note, at half time our 2 kickers practiced the majority of the intermission. No Baltimore kickers...

The weather affected both teams and he is too new to have experience there in bad weather.

That said, he finished 22nd in FGM% with 82%. Not good enough. He needs to continue to improve his accuracy with kicks in the 35 - 45 yr range, especially when forced to kick from the right side.

Glad his 2 misses didn't factor into a loss.

The fgs that were missed I believe were all on the big scoreboard side.


If tucker. Probly the best ever kicker missed 2 and bass missed also.

The weather definitely had some effect on it

Yes, agreed ... if you missed it, I did state that in my original post.
Interesting thing is they both missed to each side...kinda weird.

Officially. Nothing yet.


Like we all think. Mahomes is probly playing.


The weird part is. He didn’t get hit in the head or bang his head on the ground. So it’s already a strange concussion
