Agree entirely. But there can’t be many teams that would do well after losing three of their top players. Imo, quality depth is a problem for most teams in the league. Expanding to 32 teams has diluted the talent pool.

You’re right. Perhaps I overstated it a bit. But those seeking to manipulate or “train” others certainly aren’t looking to tap into the vein of our better natures.

The enemy within? You can take your pick of fascist leaders who’ve used this tactic. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/30/trump-military-cities-training-ground-00587977?cid=apn

I’ll add that Trump is a racist pig to the list of his shortcomings.

Those who are so easily manipulated or “trained” are hateful people to begin with.

That’s just it: there can be no arguing which freedoms to protect. The Constitution makes that very clear. The old saying sums it up: I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it. That holds true for the entire document. We are a nation with collective amnesia.

Kicking and screaming inside Mrtka’s equipment bag.

I think Lindy is conveniently making space for Mrtka to get his nine games.

I hear that, but Drake Maye will never play a snap against Josh Allen.

Unfortunately, Drake Maye is the real deal.

That is great news. The Amerks defense just got better.

I don’t think his game was ever predicated on being hard-nosed and rugged, either. Imo, his game was predicated on making smart decisions with the puck and being able to clear the crease and win battles in the corners when necessary. If clearing the crease and winning puck battles in the corners means “hard-nosed” then we can agree on that. In my mind, hard-nosed simply means being hard to play against. As in Benson is far more hard-nosed than Muel.

Agree entirely about Power, disagree about Muel. I may be wrong, but I don’t recall anyone ever suggesting Muel’s game is predicated on skating and puck movement. He’s a plow horse out there and he ain’t that good at plowing, either.

He’d be far better off in Rochester than in the WHL. Once again illustrating how these CHL rules are often detrimental to a player’s development. He is flourishing against grown men at the moment and imo, going against teenagers won’t do a damn thing for him.

Must be much better coke in FLA.

Nailed it perfectly.

Quite the list of far right luminaries. Is there any doubt as to why the GOP doesn’t want these files released? Any doubt as to why Bondi, Patel, et al were compelled to lie about them? https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/26/musk-bannon-thiel-epstein-documents-00582627

Well, that didn’t last long. My bet is their affiliates heard from advertisers and they reversed course. https://www.foxnews.com/media/sinclair-ends-jimmy-kimmel-ban-after-sidelining-host-amid-charlie-kirk-controversy

I sometimes get the impression that some in these parts are simply not too familiar with team sports in general and the NFL in particular. “Any given Sunday” is a reality proved time and time again.

I agree. Missing Muel is almost like missing nobody at all.

😂 Great stuff! I’d pad all the walls, get a straight jacket, and authorize a medical proxy as well.

I wasn’t impressed. He made a boneheaded play that hung Power out to dry on the shorty we gave up. He is now in my goalie doghouse as a result. That said, he didn’t get much help the rest of the way and he did make a few nice saves. Perhaps I won’t put him in the doghouse after all. But he is definitely chained to a post right outside.

Haven’t been to the stadium in a while, but I will be going to the Jest game at the end of the regular season. We had season tickets in ‘73 and I attended the first game ever against the Redskins (thanks, Herb Mul-Key) and of course the first regular season game vs. the Jets (thanks, John Leypoldt) and it will be a fitting and great bookend for my Rich Stadium experience by ending it against the Jets.

We will certainly never hear anything like that again, either. Play by play announcers today are geared for TV and TV only. And they can’t paint a picture for listeners to save their lives. I’m looking at you Dunleavy.

The last thing that sot needs is an excuse to have a drinking party.
