I wouldn’t call any of that “high end talent”. Solid players no doubt.

I do remember Joel ward doing more damage during the pens series. I don’t check numbers and fancy stats don’t apply.

It’s cause he’s black. You only noticed him because his skin stuck out in a sea of skating crackers.

Ward is actually retired now but he last played for the caps in 14-15 season. Like you said he probably meant Pelly haha

I know you're yanking on Grinder's chain, but Joel Ward actually had a couple of really productive seasons on the Caps.

Yeah I guess I shouldn't have said high end talent, since that implies the Sidney Crosbys of the world. I meant more guys who produce at traditional top 6 rates at even strength. You're not gonna find a ton of sustained success if everyone on your third line is producing below a sub 1.6 pts/60 clip at even strength.

How do you score .6 of a point? That’s not a real stat. Is it?

Anybody else see this TDL buyer beware article on Sportsnet? Our (ex) boy Brass gets a long mention.

DK was hosting Madden's show today. Did an interview with Lang. Lang insists Pearson will prove to be a really good player for us even though it hasn't gone great so far. I tend to agree with him. I think Sully has mangled the lines so much this season that some of these guys have had trouble finding roles and chemistry. And again, he was forced to play a good chunk of games with Brassard.

One thing about Lang... He has a really keen eye for recognizing good players and he also doesn't throw around compliments like a lot of homer announcers.

Jesus christ... Kucherov is having the best season of anyone since atleast before the 2000s. Even better than Crosby in his best point per game season back when he got concussed. the last person that had as good of a season as kucherov was Jagr and Mario back in the 95-96 season... jikes

What’s even scarier is had a really slow start to the season.

Feds, or anyone that knows, whats the deal with HBSL playoffs? Figured they would of started this week...I picked a roster for this week...including 3 goal, 2 assist getting DeBrincat last night but there's no match-up for me when I look...

Does the top half of the standings have a bye week or something?...I ended up 58th overall but figured only tops of divisions would get a bye week.

4.76 mill cap hit this year...and his cap hit will only be 9.5 mill for 8 more years after this one. Insanity. He's playing at a max payout level and the cap will continue to rise.
