  1. He's just a rookie, I wasn't expecting him to be a consistent beast overnight, just that he had the potential to be one of those PWF's in the long-run. He's definitely been in a lul, also bumped down the lineup at times. Agree it would be nice to see him have a spirited game here soon.
  2. You have to get something good for Boeser. Not just trade for the sake of trading him. The way he's playing he's not going to be able to command a massive contract. He's definitely very streaky, but also showed in the bubble he's capable of producing when the games are difficult to generate offense - which shouldn't be taken for granted IMO.
  3. True but I still think he's a really good player & could be useful for us. And Myers has had by far his best season this year playing with him. If they can get a better defenseman for Hughes to play with then the top 4 isn't bad at all IMO.
  4. Hes been in a bit of a lul lately but I'm not ready to declare him bad now. He had a really strong start to the season.
  5. Last game was really interesting. Petey's snipe (I was shocked in a great way), 2 goal lead heading into the third, more heroics from Martin, then just getting absolutely dominated in overtime. Sucks to drop a point to the Oilers but atleast we didn't come away empty handed again. With more players out of protocol its time to make hay! GCG
  6. Yup. Many people aren't honest actors that's for sure. Truckers were hero's when it was self serving to make a social media post saying that, now they are X/Y/Z. It's the common strategy to reduce opposition (of any degree, really) to labels; sheep, racist, anti-vax, SJW, alt-right, communist, nazi, exc, exc. Its all so political/agenda driven, & tiring. Regarding Covid I do wonder at some point if the reaction to Covid will be seen as more damaging than the virus. And even if not it seems like that analysis isn't even part of the bigger conversation. We are just stuck in this name calling tribal crap when more & more people are now prepared to just accept the risk & move back to life as we knew it.
  7. This is BlueAnon type stuff & really a diversion from the key issue. People across our country & in the US are responding to this protest; donating money, US drivers joining in, up here offering food/shelter for truckers, exc. Lots of people are tired of all of this - (not just the new Vax mandates) - hand waving them all away & labelling them as the KKK, radical separatists, racists (or whatever else) is ridiculous imo.
  8. I can remember when truckers were admired as front line hero's in all of this What a bunch of BS
  9. Who are the other comparables? Rangers center depth wasn't good & Zibanejad had 41 goals & 75 points in 57 games. I think he got high-end value at the time & his scoring blows Miller away. Miller starts with an 8 but I don't think he's pushing 10. Barkov just signed for 10M & he's a much better player than Miller. But I guess it depends on other comparables. Zibanejad sure, Barkov no. Is RNH a comparable? Hayes? Landeskog? I think Kadri's upcoming contract will be a comparable for Miller.
  10. Mika Zibanejad signed 8.5M x 8. Would he command the same? Zibanejad did score 40 goals whereas Miller's career high is 27.
  11. Yeah I'd never seen Evans play before but his attitude wasn't great. When Felix went up 2 sets & they were talking about how Evans may still have a chance b/c Felix had lost in that situation before I was thinking 'not with this attitude he isnt coming back'. It was tip to tail a great performance, 3 straight Aces was a good way to start. Hopefully he just keeps building as the competition gets tougher.
  12. Impressive match for Felix. Serve was going right from the beginning & just took care of business. Nice having both he & Shapo going on opposite days.
