Weave

I legit thought the OP was going to have a totally different tone. 🤷‍♂️

I think it was pretty obvious. Sam didn’t fit KAs timeline and thus couldn’t be considered a core player and paid accordingly.

Blowing up the only two lines that really looked effective seems like a bad idea. But thats just me.

They are what their record says they are. And their record is pretty similar to the 1st 10 game starts of over half of the previous 14 seasons.

Not gonna lie, I do have some anxiety over what may be planned for November-January.

The next few games should start to set the pecking order. They need to demonstrate that they are the best of the bottom half teams as I expect struggling to close out against the established playoff teams will be the norm as the season tightens up.

Norri deserves a like.

Pretty sure I wasn’t referencing a win streak.

It only took me 3 hrs to see what you did here.

In Dylan’s case, some of the hand wringing was related to an all star break photo of him. He looked downright skinny. Not thin-for-hockey-player skinny. Just plain skinny. He looked like he NEEDED mass. It was the sort of image that provided credence that this roster is just not mature physically. I was hopefull that Cozens game would mature along with his body. Part of his struggles this year may be related to adjusting to that extra body weight.

I sure hope this is the last time they give you scars. You’ve earned beating this to the curb.

I swear I read somewhere that Cozens came into camp 10-15lbs heavier. Did I imagine that?

Bastard Panthers is an awesome band name. And a solid epithet for the hockey team.

We all knew Mitts had Tim Connolly hands. And he seemed to take at least as long as Tim Connolly to really show consistency with that super power.

???? To me it always represented an opportunity to be light hearted during heavy times.

And you don’t tell anyone how to fan? Deal.

If my employer didn’t have business with SpaceX I’d be 100% on board.

You don’t get to judge anyone. We are all fans in our own way. ***** off with that garbage.

*Up to* 2 assists scored, so not half, but less than 100% of the value of a goal.

Let’s not forget that we were about here last season. The first 5-10 games or so are a warm up. Practice heroes tend to look brighter than they really are. The next 10 games start to filter out the chafe as the serious teams get rolling. As always, let’s see what American Thanksgiving brings. Wins in October count the same, which is good, and They appear to be winning in repeatable ways right now. Can’t really read any more into it than that though. The grind is barely underway.

Dahlin was cursed. Exclamations of generational talent, comparisons to Denis Potvin. Next coming of Lidstrom stuff. His own fanbase cursed hime.

I don’t want to see more protected roster spots. I like the waiver drama. The biggest change I want to see is a fix to teams hiding players on IR for the playoffs.

Points are somewhat misleading. When you fall behind the biggest hurdle is how many teams you need to leapfrog. As long as they can stay within a couple of teams of the cut line there is reason for optimism. If it gets much more than that, you are probably done.

D-Lo is just a bit unhinged. Reminds me of Brad May in that way.
