Dan Rosen quoting Cam Atkinson: "For whatever reason, it was like I didn't like hockey anymore." On Cam Atkinson, in a rut last season, in the All-Star Game representing the @BlueJacketsNHL this season:” I wonder if Cam was labeled as an unwanted sad sack by the fan base?

He didn't get a shift in OT for the Amerks this evening. He's done. Guy is just missing something. Cool "gotcha" bro.

Ellie isn't even NHL talent. Of course it's a significant step down.

There is no legend of Berglund, but we did lose a bonafide NHL player who had a responsible game, reasonable speed, and size enough to be effective against larger teams. It really is as simple as, we now have Ellie in our lineup. A significant step down. I guess if you want to characterize that observation as "legend of".

I don't discuss my manscaping.

You rang?

4th line isn’t going to be a role. It’s going to be nothing more than minutes played and who he’s on the ice against.

Hey!

After announcing that the next one is going to be in Dallas, where is the gif of Fonzy jumping the shark?

I think most of his problems are 1. physical strength and 2. makes rushed/bad decisions when pressured. Given that, I think you def can make a case that he isn't NHL ready. The AHL is tailor made to develop him through those issues. Having said that, playing against 4th liners would do wonders for his performance. Although, 4th liners aren't the scrubs they used to be when teams kept roster spots for tough guys.

Chicago deep dish pizza just went in the oven.....

Still have the 1st wildcard, no?

Tried to respond to two posts. I hate that the multiquote feature is gone. My response loses context without multiquote.

Kudos to Robin Lehner. He seems to have gotten his stuff back together. It couldn't have been easy to come in here and face his demons. I'd rather the good guys won, but kudos nonetheless.

Inky, is you or your brother at the game? Guy in the crowd could be you.

I think his role is going to have to evolve into the type of role Mike Grier had. And I think he still has the tools for it. I don't think he has the teammates tho.

He's reading Sabrespace.

I think I've read excepts from that book. Pretty sure, in fact.

I saw 2 tank years.

The Manning portion specifically.

Unbunch your Garanimals. That's exactly what I mean. He's got alot of growing as a player to do, and before he gets there we need another center.

We're all blocking you.

I'm not sure that would be a good thing if his head is on straight.

In defense of Edmonton, reportedly McDavid signed off on the trade before it was finalized. There shouldn't be hard feelings.

Center needs to be the priority in trade talks. Otherwise we're looking at center depth in 3-5 years. Hopefully Casey has it turned around before then.....
