I thought that they did drug testing.

Realistically, if someone told reinhardt to stop coming it up and be serious about hockey, could someone stop parting like a rockstar?

It is.... All street drugs were tested for.

But as Taco heard from his scout in the front office.... we have like 4 dudes who are Tony Montana on a mountain of blow. And so true.... these are the days of our lives.

There's no punishment for it. The players are just tested, and if the levels are high enough, the doctor can say "do you need help?"

I'd do Allen for Lehner every day of the week and twice on Sundays. That's a no brainer. IDC if you think he benefitted from playing behind an elite D... he's hands down better than Lehner and more consistent.

That playoff series he had was remarkable he was Unstoppable and I'm pretty sure the blues organization thought that was going to be his calling going forward

But agreed I would do the trade

in a normal person its out of your system in 2-3 days. when exercising at the level of a professional athlete it can be less than 48 hours.

They test just like the nfl does. It is “random testing” as in your name got randomly selected and they then inform the player 90 days before his “random” test. Anyone who fails is a complete idiot.
I valeted cars for a couple years a few years ago, we would find drugs in their cars all the time. I have been tipped in weed many times, got tipped a gram of blow one time from an nfl running back. These guys love to party, it’s no secret.

Daley even was quoted in the article saying he'd be shocked if it was more than 20 times it came up since 2015. That's all.

They say that all that botox and plastic surgery can slurp away at your brain...

People still wanted Jeff Carter and Mike Richards.... didn't they bang Hartnell's wife or something?

ROR and Risto

for

Patches, Petry and 3OA

How bad do they want ROR?

- jcragcrumple


MTL is in a tough spot... just signed Price to a huge deal, Weber isn't getting any younger, and have basically 3x 3rd line centers.

After trading away Subban, signing Price to a huge contract instead of getting a haul for him, and generally stinking up the place, I don't foresee their fan base taking the idea of a rebuild very well.

ROR would instantly be their 1C.

I was just about to say I'd be interested in Fucale as a decent size piece coming back but then I looked at his AHL/ECHL (wtf in ECHL?) stats and.... ehhhhh.. That's not good stuff fam.

The only piece I would really want would be 3OA, but I wouldn't want to give up Risto with ROR.

My "make me say yes" price would be Drouin, 3OA and Petry

For Risto, ROR, Bailey and Pominville.

They would never do it.

My post did not even make it into Eks thread. Wonder if I'm banned or just some overly touchy, passive-aggressive Canadian A$$wipe got his panties in a bunch.

Whelp, looks like choice B.

Typical jockstrap-sniffers up north. They throw insults around like candy aboot "Muricans and our cities, but as soon as you throw it back to them they go crying to Mommy.

I support this.


Speaking of goalies...

I saw a Caps fan offer:

Grubeaur and a 2nd

for

Asplund and a 2nd.

I would very heavily consider this.

I'm on the fence about both Drouin and Petry. I just don't like Drouin's attitude. Thought he handled the issues with TBL like douche, and Petry just because of age.

Any discussion not involving their 3OA heading our way would be a nonstarter for me.

But like you said, I would highly doubt they'd move their 3OA.

So Grubauer and pick 62 for Aslpund and 32?


I'll pass on that, I think Asplund is going to be very very good in a 3rd line center role.

Pick 32 should be a good player too.

I like Grubauer, alot too
