How do you miss that Tage?

That's a goal

Boston needs to start losing

Holy sht Tage Thompson did a thing?

I'll look for the guy in the Skinner jersey waiving his UB Associates Degree around

For some reason I was convinced this was for the Detroit game

Probably because our forward depth is awful

There are plenty of people around here that think that, don't kid yourself I think it's just that we've hit a skid, and Housley is playing it, as he feels, as safe as possible right now. This game is huge for us, we need to come out of the gates with a win

Pilut has been making some unbelievably stupid turnovers in our own end lately; it's not like he's benching Dahlin

Olofsson has 37 points in 40 games of his rookie AHL season, Tage had two combined for a total of 20 points in 46 games. Yes, Tage is younger, and yes Olofsson has much more experience, especially in men's leagues. But honestly, what about Thompson's game makes anyone think he's likely to succeed? He has a great shot that seldom hits the net...and that's it. He is a poor skater, poor situational awareness, and poor...everything else. Olofsson hast the shot but it's better, he has the smarts, and he's faster; he's not as big though. All in all, Olofsson just seems much more promising Edit: I'm starting my own bunker for Thompson. Just need a good name for it

Pittsburgh getting destroyed by NJ tonight is pretty good for us

He's made his places he'd re-sign pretty well known: New York or Florida. So, the Island?

He's only 29 and signed through next year too at a very cheap $4.5M/year

Yes that's it, I think development is a myth

So knowing the Amerks depth chart is key on knowing where Mitts should be? I don't think he should be in the AHL, period.

Alright so maybe he would have gotten more time. He may have learned more from that ice time, but I think you're just delaying the NHL rookie growing pains. He has access to so much more experience, training, and knowledge at this level; if we didn't go through this pain with him this year, we just would have done it next year, when we really should be competing. I'm glad we got him and Dahlin's rookie pains out of the way with on the same year Well shows how much I know about Rochester

CJ Smith was the top line center, no?

Mittelstadt was not going to learn anything from the AHL. In fact, he's probably gotten more playing time up here than he would have behind Smith down there.

Bishop, Nikushkin, letting Goligoski go...Jim Nill is not a good GM

I actually believe Gruden thinks this is how the draft works now

What lunatic buys AFC/NFC or conference championship gear? If your team wins the championship, then you buy that stuff. If your team loses the championship, at least you don't have a $60 reminder hanging in your closet about how much it sucked

I believe that award still goes to predicting team records based off of the NFL schedule release Holy sht, an actual trade in the Actual Trades thread

Yeah there's no way he could pull that off today. I thought the whole thing about 'possession' was pretty fascinating; a ton of people like Bundy practice the same crimes in the same manner for that reason: ultimate possession of something Also, the dude was on the wrong for some of the most heinous crimes in American history, and he casually stopped at Michigan to watch his alma matter (no chance that's spelled right) play a bowl game?? It's insane to think how casually he took his crimes to be. To just up and act like you're on vacation like that is absolutely absurd
