Eleven

He is doing a nice job substituting for Thompson on the top line. Even I can acknowledge that. Whether I want him back next year, well, I'll leave that to the thread dedicated to that.

I don't love Rod Brind'Amour or the extra effort that goes into typing his stupid name. But I love the system his team plays. That transition game is incredible. And yes, it is very similar to Ruff's system, and yes, it relies upon better goaltending than what we have seen for most of this year. But the goaltending has arrived, and if I see Granato pulling his vanilla ***** again next year, I'm going to want him fired.

Why does it look like a magazine?

I've never been thrilled with it, if that's what you're asking.

From your fingers to God's eyes....

In before PA says something that gets the thread locked. (Yes, PA, we all know it's a money grab. Yes, all teams do it. Terry is not meddling with the ticket system and Laura is not in charge of concession prices.)

USGA and St. Andrews are about to revise guidelines for all of it, so beware spending money right now. (And I don't even follow golf--just news.)

Why? Why do I do this?

So this was a bad time (about 10 into the third) to tune in, yeah?

I don't know--I haven't read it and probably won't be able to anytime soon.

Let me guess who's bankrolling this bs lawsuit...

His ceiling is Jake McCabe. And I like McCabe, but I wouldn't have protected him in an expansion draft.

I want to know what happens if he is accidentally picked for the tri-wizard tournament next fall. This should be a separate thread from the other seventeen Levi threads we have.

Paging @inkman

Did he not smoke them long enough or is it the sauce he uses?

There is Varlamov but I'm really on the fence regarding his personal stuff. Although, he did win an abuse-of-process suit against his alleged victim, so maybe benefit of the doubt should prevail.

That's six minutes. Two for wearing #17, two for contradicting me, and two more just because. Oh, and two more for watching a face-off. Eight minutes. Sorry.

Congrats, stripes. Nice win.

Levi/Comrie in either order is the right tandem.

Again not in my experience but ok.

WHO IS STARTING? THIS IS MAKING ME NUTS. @Brawndo (THAT SHOULD BE IN CAPS) WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING US?

?? I've been to enough Five Guys, including the original in Arlington 25 years ago, before it expanded, and what? The bags were/are white paper.

That's going to depend on the country. You could probably check ESPN+ right now and see if you're getting whatever it's carrying. Also, if you get DirecTV or Spectrum at home, you might be able to use their websites/apps to watch remotely.

Umm, I think we all know what song he was referring to.

Well, I think it's been answered. The trio of Anderson/Comrie/Luukkoonnneeenn have been ok at times, and bad at times, but seldom GOOD. Levi is a relatively unknown commodity, but there is no reason to believe that he can't be better than the aforesaid trio. The main evidence against Levi seems to be that PA doesn't know anything about him. That's really weak, for several reasons. The main evidence against the other three is the entire season, or, in the cases of Anderson and however-its-spelled, last season as well. Draw your own conclusions, but I see nothing that would discourage me from starting Levi, even if I also see a case for starting someone else (Comrie).
