Weave

I thought that was Paul Gaustad.

That tweet sounded to me more like, OK it's your turn, we won't meddle this time.

Yup. Between Jack being out and a cast of characters that have already given up, the on ice product probably won't be much different for the remainder of the season.

I agree with this. It sure seemed that the RK plan was in agreement with the KA plan. There was not tension between the two fo them. Ralph got fired because this whole thing became a bad joke, not because the organization wasn't on the same page.

You answered your own question. You need another Knox's running the show.

I couldn't pick a single player off that list. What an unlikeable team.

Yup, that is my concern.

Style is unimportant. The players need to be all in for a change. A coach that commands respect through his accomplishments and record is needed. No more benefit of the doubt for this group of core players. You've had 3 swings. OK, maybe we call Ralph a foul ball. Bottom line, it's time to stop blaming coaching.

This is too good a market to be the Atlanta Thrashers, yet here we are.......

The whole notion of a super spy does seem kind of silly without the Cold War backdrop, doesn't it?

Let's not forget that English is a second language for Risto. You guys are reading too much into it.

Sounds like it all went downhill when you showed up.

You complete me.

I saw the FB post that he was in the running. That is awesome!

The correct question is, did anyone see the game last night? And, if so, why?

I don't know that I have a least favorite. I haven't found any of them to be likeable at all. Rolston comes the closest I guess, but is it his fault that the GM went out and hired the least qualified person to coach the team? Should I really hate on Ron for being the lamb fed to the lions? A very, very few players have my respect for consistently doing their best during these trying times, but that is about the extent of my emotions, really. The rest can all be labeled as having my equal level of apathy. There needs to be an F 'em all choice.

Interesting Thompson put on the off wing.

Do we see Sam at center now?

As if I needed any additional incentive to not watch....

Damned if he said it, damned if he said the opposite. He's not (and he absolutely shouldn't) throwing any goalie, or any other player under the bus. And if he did throw them under the bus we would flame him for doing that (rightfully so). Look at how we reacted to RK throwing Skinner under the bus. Even though we have no insider info regarding what is going on we slammed RK for him slamming Skinner. But now we express outrage over KA not throwing goalies under the bus? So maybe he just shouldn't say anything at all? Wait... he already got called out for doing that. No win situation. This ship can't turn around fast enough.

Not so awesome update.... Apparently the covids and the relief checks have been putting a serious hurt on the kayak manufacturers and retailers. They had very little in stock and a ton of people looking to talk to a sales person. I had to put my name on a list and put down a deposit with no promises regarding delivery. Their expected shipment is weeks overdue with no word from the manufacturer as to when they might ship. No choice in color as the manufacturers are shipping whatever they have on hand and they are getting made with no concern regarding color. Word is most are showing up olive drab, which isn't the worst thing in the world. I guess plastic supply is an issue too. Hopefully this doesn't run into the opener for walleyes. It will affect early crappie season though.

And the irony is, 311 complained about the same when Liger (and myself, and others) used words and definitions that were similar in use and context but on the other side of the spectrum. So there is that too.

Not every question you ask has or deserves an answer. Like Ralph, I don't have answers. And like Ralph, I don't care.

I just sold my kayak yesterday. (I'm upgrading today). Guy that bought it said he tried to buy a used kayak all last Summer and couldn't because they were selling within minutes of being listed. I posted mine for sale yesterday AM, got in the shower, and came out with a message that he wanted to come look at it. It was out of my garage and down the road within 2hrs of my post. I felt like I was being greedy offering it for sale $50 less than I originally paid for it and I would have negotiated, but he snapped it up immediately with no negotiation. Apparently I could have sold it for more than I paid for it. It's got to be the Covids. Awesome for me is I am picking up a badass fishing kayak today. It is something I should feel comfortable putting in Erie or Ontario and going for a long troll.
