We're drafting top 5

Needs to improve his pace, in the 3 games I have seen, he's looked okay and I think his dzone work is really solid.

His WJC toi for the 4 games thus far are: 23:36 was a 5-2 loss to Sweden, -1 with 2a 25:10 was a 2-1 win over the Swiss and +1 20:45 was a 4-2 loss to Slovakia and a -2 with 1a 24:52 was a 5-4 win over Kazakhstan with 1g 1a and +1

One was injured until recently and needs to eat about 10 garbage plates a day cuz he's not strong enough. Also, this pick should have been Mintyukov but idk, maybe in another 2-3 years if you're patient you get a useful middle 6 center. Patience is the key for Östlund. The other is an 18yr old playing in probably the 3rd best league in the world. A league where most rookies are 2 years older than him. So he's doing pretty good. Helenius has middle 6, 50pt winger written all over him imo. That would be a great pickup at 14 in that draft.

Hey look, a hockey game to ring in the new year. The 21-13-3 Stars, have a +23 goal differential and were just fined 100k for a cba practice violation because unlike the 14-19-4 Sabres, the Stars would literally rather get fined than cancel a practice. My guess is the palm 🌴 really help there. Anyways, happy new year. ✨️

Maxim Strbak just got the game winner for Slovakia.

UPL!

Go Bills!

Lines according to Lance Sabres' lineup in St. Louis: Zucker-Thompson-Tuch Quinn-Cozens-Peterka Benson-Kulich-Krebs Malenstyn-McLeod-Lafferty Dahlin-Byram Samuelsson-Power Bryson-Clifton UPL Jokiharju took warmup but wasn't involved in rushes.

Matthew Schaefer broke his collarbone. Probably won't hurt his draft stock too much but he's out 6 weeks.

2-3 more years

Both trades show Yzerman isn't that competent imo. But but but, you told me I was wrong about the Yzerplan!?!? How can they be thinking of doing a tear down? Guess I wasn't wrong, well at least about Detroit, I've been wrong about other stuff.

Or... the islanders and Blackhawks are bad hockey teams.

Having a hard time finding a player on the Wings roster I want.

Effort was certainly a problem during the streak. At least imo.

Did you see what happened when Dahlin went out? Team played some of its worst hockey of the year. Where was Tuch? I really like Alex Tuch, I bet ppl think I don't.

I'd go to whichever is closer. I've been to both in the last 6 months and didn't notice a difference. They worked pretty hard to make their wings the same. Personally, if you want to do other things like drink or hangout, east aurora. If you just want wings, I think North has a better setup. They get busy though. Be prepared to wait 30 mins or more if you get there at a peak time.

Lol. They certainly could have used OHL goal scoring leader Michael Misa. But... they left him home.

And the hats rain down

Remember, Zach Benson could be at the WJC right now because he's still eligible. He's just warming up.

Not true. "Post" implies past tense and it's more like ongoing trauma
