what, exactly, has krebs done?
- Michael Pachla

Krebs should be sent back down but if we are talking about next year he could make the jump.

Aaron Rodgers going to the Broncos or he just using that as leverage?

makes the broncos a playoff team. They would have been good this year if they had a quarterback.

krebs has shown a lot of flash, but is on pace for 8+8 for a full 82-game season
shiny new toy complex
tage looks great
cozens looks great as well

distant fifth?...yeah, maybe...not...i don't think he's anywhere near mr. ed territory

- Michael Pachla


Unlike a lot of these kids, he has some growing to do. The skill and determination are remarkable. We've run out of patience, and for good reason. He just turned 21. Today. Cozens 20, Jack 20, JJ and Levi 20, Dahlin and Samuelsson 21, Power 19.. it's just so gd young.

Pain.

That happened to me with hardboiled eggs a few years ago. Very disheartening.

There is nothing in the rule books that states a goalie can throw an illegal check and Interfere with an unsuspecting player chasing a Dman around the net, that results in an injury. It was a careless gutless play by a player that should not be playing in the NHL but more like a Beer League.

Correct, however it does say a goalie can stand their ground after playing the puck. It falls on the forward to go around the goalie. Being that Dell didn't step out on him and contact was made, how is this an illegal check or interference is what I'm asking.

Any idea if he's starting? The roster card I saw initially had his name first, but don't know if that's indicative of anything.

"I was just trying to buy some time for my defenseman and step into [Batherson's] lane," the veteran netminder said. "I hope he's all right. I wasn't trying to hurt anybody."

just wondering what he's done to place him at the top of the list...and wondering how the player known as "2022 lottery pick" automatically gets slotted number two...

does not compute

Who cares, I see players throw a pick 5-10 times a game and never a penalty. There wasn't even a suspension when Lucic laid out Miller.

Its a 2 minute penalty and move on.

Got sick the day I had egg salad and NY style pizza three years ago.

Haven’t been able to eat them since

Based on those other two names, it would be criminal to not start him. The competition he's facing is probably on par with the world juniors. Skill is obviously less, but a lot of vets are generally smarter and more refined.

Word play is a bit different my friend, I see what you're getting at but the replay shows otherwise.

If anyone wants to tell me when he makes a shuffle out into the lane, that can be discussed. I've watched it a dozen times, he turns around a bit and prepares for the hit. He's on his natural path back to the net. He doesn't step out at the last minute, his feet are planted.

It's the shoulder and elbow he leans out to use that is the problem
