Strome!

Jagr for trivia. I’m pretty sure it’s right iirc. Yeah after the lockout

Lucky Patrick didn’t pass that. He had a guy for a tap in and Igor was very committed to shot

I’m pretty sure I’d off myself if I ever had to move back in with my mom lol

Forgot to post my usual Here.we.go.

Is it 2004 where you live? Pro tip. We don’t win anything the next bunch of years.

I, going to build a man cave and for the next round of msg commercials I hope I’m featured in it so I can explain how this is where I go to watch and post my frustration every 7 seconds on BSBH all game

I agree with you. “Let’s see it” simply means let’s see it over a long time. He’s started 26 career nhl games, only 13 this year. Let’s see him be the undeniable, game in and game out starter. Really take the reigns. Has to stay healthy even if one injury was a fluke accident.

Lol by 7pm she has her slippers on, full robe, and is half asleep. She only musters up enough energy to ask me why I’m so quiet.....repeatedly.

Lol I try to keep her filled with ice cream to shut her up. No idea how that woman is still in good shape.

Yeah, like they did with Kreider last year.

Agreed. Yesterday I actually had to talk to my wife. It was frightening.

10-8 Rangers in ot :p So good of a goal it counts twice

Kakko continues to roll pots a few more. shows he might actually be for real and has a charming smile

Well he’s captain of the Sabres and we see how that’s going. I’m sure he’s a fine leader in his own way but he wouldn’t come here at 24-25 years old and just start leading a new locker room regardless.

Pretty spot on. Ziby is more of a problem than Strome thanks to this years debacle. I think that helps us though. It might let Ziby accept a tad less dollar wise and maybe more term and good faith since we stuck by his side. I’d still like that more than I’d like bringing in a 10m cap hit tearing down a lot. And if Ziby takes slightly less, that trickles into Strome as well and cap wise we should be fine for the 3-4 year range right into where the cap is less of a problem and things are more “normal.”

I think you’re onto something. I’ve said stay the course many times so you’re not alone. There is no question that Eichel is a huge upgrade at C but at the same time downgrades depth. Or at least it does when you realize cap wise we have to trade real pieces to add a 10m cap hit. Our 2c Is Strome and he paces close to 70 points this season and last. Ziby is having a bad year but if he came around you are talking a great 1c. Neither are Eichel but considering you lose one to afford Eichel among other real pieces, I don’t see a gigantic leap personally in terms of getting us to the next level depth wise.

Nhl fans... “wow this is bs. They got 6 pp and we got 1. Refs cheated us!” Same nhl fans.... “holy shit the integrity of the game is at stake here. These referees are looking to even up calls. I always knew it!”

He's been given so many chances. I don't think he's very good. If all stars align he puts up those numbers but he'd also need the ice time of a 2nd liner for that production and he's not a top 6 guy. I also don't think he's hard to play against either so in a bottom 6 role he's fairly insignificant. He's just.... There.....

Honestly, I think the trade only makes sense for us if u substitute a Kravtsov for Buch. We have to trade away a contract of real tangibility or Eichels contract hinders us within a couple of years. Need to keep a cost controlled guy. I'd personally just stay the course but that's just me.

Even up Andy was a thing. And its pretty common. Doesnt make it okay but how many times a year have you seen any team get a BS powerplay and then say "Refs are going to look to even this up so dont do anything remotely stupid" in your head ?

In fairness, he did score 9 goals last year. 10-15 regularly might be a stretch but 6-11 is more like his window

I can give up on Howden in 4 seconds.

Lol only if his wife calls the shots like in jacobs case

Woah that sounds awesome and prima Donna is my wife’s favorite cheese. We get it out here. Love how it crystallizes and gives it that extra zip. So good.
