  1. 100% would rather have Gauthier. They downgraded. Really need the size at this point.
  2. Need a few weeks of practice time, but Kane looked old and slow. Group obviously has a lot of 2015 Star Power, but pretty pathetic just whipping cross seams all night. That's cool against garbage in November, but they'll have to find the will to play in the middle of the ice. Panarin won't find that will, btw. Playoff success will ultimately be up to Zibanejad and Shesterkin, as always.
  3. Yeah, hustle is one thing, but man our 40 foot cross ice pass attempts are breath taking.
  4. Just like Staple said.. we've collected instead of assembling. There's a reason guys like Jeannot went for what they went for and it's what we tried to get with Blais. Big boys that can move up and down lineup, and provide different looks/dynamics. We now have one dynamic. Very Toronto Maple Leafs. Let's see how it plays out. It'll be entertaining either way.
  5. I'd say that this going pear shaped is the probable outcome. Core forwards are a completely random group of players. Mostly very soft. Very weird mix. Half of the top 6 are just names that were available, so we gobbled them up. However, it's fun so let's see how it plays out.
  6. Just need to add another washed up 30 something and our transition to the 99 Rangers will be complete. Could use a good Mironov/Malakhov comp, though.
  7. Jimmy Vesey shuttles back and forth between your top 2 lines Stanley Cup Contender Pick one.
  8. Half of me thinks they'll win a round, the other half thinks they'll somehow end up with Keith Petruzelli in net at some point in R1.
  9. "I just like, literally yelled Mooseheads Suck, no cap fr fr" lmao, sure ya did I understand the suspension, but it's just such a boring sport, now. Just like everything else. No circus. No contact. No keeping score until Bantam AAA. Did you see that lacrosse goal, though, wow, so exciting.
  10. 6 year old has a tournament today and got up at 5 to watch this, particularly Shesterkin. He lasted two minutes. Imagine paying money to go to this. What are they doing? Hellebuyck's pads are sweet, though.
  11. In a golf cart. I can't summon much moral outrage for this one.
  12. I find the product unwatchable. If it wasn't for the Rangers Fandom, I wouldn't watch a single game. Yeah, the players are unfathomably good. So what? The people driving the changes that brought NHL hockey to this point, got exactly the type of game they envisioned... and nobody cares. They never understood, or embraced, what made made the game special, they turned their back on it, and they've ruined it. I'd rather watch the Devils trap a team in to oblivion, knowing there was a chance a player bench may be thrown on the ice by a coach, then watch whatever this sanitized sporting equivalent of an all white IKEA kitchen has become. Where's my circus? Still love the game. At the rink a minimum 10 hours/week. Love going to OHL games and PJHL games, but whatever this league has become? Yawn.
  13. I landed on Dolan, as well. As I understand it, they still did all the extra curriculars, just no jerseys. I'm generally with Pete on this.. who actually would go to see them in pride jerseys? How many could it be? A dozen? To those few I'd say, I've shelled out hundreds of dollars to see them sit Mike Richter and play Guy Hebert or Kirk McLean. Thems the breaks. I'd also have to pin some of the blame on the forever adolescents that are obsessed with jerseys. This is partially on you, and supports my adult wearing jersey thesis from a couple months ago.
  14. I dunno. Sad, is how I see it. His views are antiquated, but generally standard fare for his generation. Not really complicated in my view. Probably not the smartest guy. I met him a couple times as a kid at Old Timer travel tournaments in the US. Was clearly hammered all weekend, but friendly and in good spirits. Months after one of those, he rang the house, I picked up, and he wanted to talk to Dad. Dad had a puzzled look when I handed him the phone... he was selling time shares lol. Very sad.
  15. I think he earned it just by his fantastic mocking of Giordano last night after Lindgren planted him.
  16. Panarin is just a 80 point Dadonov. Really wouldn't care if he snapped his ACL tomorrow. Nothing would be lost.
  17. How the fuck was Samsonov sitting on the scrap heap for 1.8 million. Exactly what the Leafs needed.
