  1. Demko will be our most important player this game. He plays like Double Bubble Boy and we will win. He struggles at all and we have little chance. We are getting closer to having enough depth to support him having an average game. But not there yet. Demko is Super Double Bubble and we win 3-2, or he’s average and we lose 5-3. Winning against to top clubs is, for now, all on Demko.
  2. Yup. Look at how much better we are defensively without OEL. Even Chaos Giraffe is better now not partnered with OEL. of course it’s best for us if OEL would train hard and come to camp in fabulous shape and ready to compete. Just don’t know if he will. The for sure thing is 7 mil in cap space next year if we buy him out this summer.
  3. It’s a risk to keep him. We could easily end up with OEL not being injured but just continuing to be so bad he sits in the press box eating 7.2 off our cap in popcorn.
  4. Myers gets feasted upon regardless. But Hughes is so brilliant he might be able to limit the feasting to a couple nibbles.
  5. Or we keep OEL and he sits in the press box because he’s not good enough to play regular. And we replace his minutes with a league minimum player. We are then allocating 8 mil to a bottom six D. Much rather allocate 9 for a legit top four in Gravikov than 8 mil for a bottom pairing, league minimum guy.
  6. Wings suffer another embarrassing loss. Hronek was clearly their best D. And we got him! We win! Wings lose!
  7. Management continues to reallocate cap. Bo (from centre) to Hronek (D) They will move Garland for sure and replace his minutes with a league minimum player, likely a college guy or a guy from the farm. But that spot will be open for competition.
  8. Myers, after his bonus, has trade value. Buyout OEL There’s 13 mil. Garland traded straight across for a 3C. Use the 13 mil to pay for one addition to our D. We are one D away. There’s still lots of cap left to pay raises to Miller and Kuz Missile.
  9. I don’t think I’ve ever watched a 30 for 30. Riots happen. It’s an easy News story because there’s a lot of nasty crap to report on. Lots of idiots with their phones filming each other doing stupid things. No real digging for the reporters to have to do. It’s all low hanging fruit. Look at the title of the episode. “I’m Just Here For The Riot”. Easy pickin’ for the “so called” reporter. Same crap happened in ‘94. Same crap happens in other cities for various reasons. Idiots, from out of town, come into the city and make a mess. Not rocket science to report on that.
  10. I knew Sandin was good. Now with opportunity he’s looking like a number one D. And our new Beau is pretty much doubling up on old Bo.
  11. The Pitlick wasn’t clean though. The puck was far away and Bergeron was looking towards where it was. He was about to turn and move to the puck. Pitlick came from the blindside. Very dangerous play by Pitlick. He should get a hearing and suspended. Marchand should give the guy a few face shots.
  12. Sure Livingston is s free prospect (turns 24 this year) who is physically mature. But his biggest issue is he needs to improve his skating to be an NHL player. We’ve seen big, lumbering D try to play. The game is way too fast for them.
  13. Yup. The puck was not near. Bergeron was looking back to the puck. It was a very bad hit by Pitlick. Blind side.
  14. Actually Malinski is a guy we hope to get. He skates well, moves the puck quickly, is defensive minded first, processes quickly, and is high compete. Livingston needs to improve his skating to be an NHL player. Malinski skates way better.
  15. Yup. That Pitlick guy should get at least five games. Very dangerous hit.
  16. We will be able to trade Garland, Boeser and Myers. So no worries. We will buyout OEL too. We will be as fantastic next season as we have since introducing the tank emoji.
  17. Kind of surprised Bo want out there for the OT PK. I guess their couches see Pageau as the better defensive option st centre.
  18. Lumbering skater who will be too slow footed to play D in the NHL. Yup. Perfect for the McWhiner Baby Soilers. The guy is a bustaroo bonsais. We don’t want him.
  19. Hoffman is a joke of a person and a joke of a player. Funny how the Habs are stuck with that loser.
  20. Woo certainly does keep guys honest.
  21. Isn’t there some kind of vote on the arena coming up soon? I wonder if the negative press from this coward affects that vote?
