The fact it’s more often actively bad than even average is such a avenue for potential improvement. It’s at once maddening but also framed properly one of the greatest positives we are taking off clearly but there’s quite a bit of runway left to really, really launch this off

That’s what sh- you know what never mind

Finally a voice of reason

Nope tage is josh allin. say it with me you need to put aside the Ranger and become what you were born to be a “Tage is Josh Allin” Guy

Even more amazing, in a sense, is what just good goaltending can do. If Comrie could play like he did today (.917 sv%), good, on a consistent basis, we’d actually have a good goalie on our hands. Problem is he’s almost always sub 900. Not a coincidence that his stats today reflect everyone’s eye test. They often do

i try to keep this thread in my mind a lot.. - I didn't think we'd score like the 05-06 team as quickly as this season, argued against it

I don't think he sits Monday but maybe. edit you may not have been implying that, though if concussion symptoms are increasing as a game goes on, he very assuredly shouldn't be playing at all

damn you too?

When they make films about true stories, A-list actors play the common folk When they cast for Victor Hedman in a Hollywood movie, they'll cast Rasmus Dahlin

Rasmus Dahlin, paces over an 82 game frame: 20 goals, 70 assists, 90 points (tech. 91), 109 PIM, +33 A 90 point d-man. A lady byng...will not be in his future. But he will rack up over 100 penalty minutes inflicting pain on the other team as a rugged franchise D-man with a mean streak. The penalty minutes are fun because for a finesse player, it's reflective of detriment. Dahlin is simply depositing some value for later in an 82 game season. We got That guy on D

oh good this was the game he "wasn't likely" to play so, guess he was a bit ahead of schedule, probably healed even more by Monday edit - led the D in PP time. Looked like while easing him in they still looked to capitalize on the raw skill. did pay off with the assist

Hopefully just easing him back in? Would be balls if we lost him immediately again

"perception is reality. am I right, kid?'

turd punch bowl? GDTs after a win are always filled with exceptionally random "But I was told Curry couldn't shoot mmmmm?!!1" statements it's part of the fun

By virtue of his 🍎 today and owning the goals tie breaker, Dahlin back into 2nd in league scoring for defensemen and 1st for defensemen who actually play defence

Miss Tuch there no harm no foul though

Great W

Apologies if someone already made note of it: Thompson registered his 40th assist on Quinn’s goal, first time to that mark

His hair...

Yup. The endless keep ins along the line frequently create goals, and that’s before you even factor in the passes themselves. he’s just fun. The quarterback out there

Don’t know what this means, so: yes

It’s not the Okposo is a 4th liner thing again, though. (I’m the guy who’s always supporting that argument when you make it. Sigh. I digress) It was that a guy can get 15 mins not playing on, to use the term YOU introduced, the “Top 3 lines”. If you don’t believe in line designations re: playing time, why did you use the term top 9 then? logically, then, since we know you don’t necessarily buy into designations, you must be referring to the 3 centres who we know will be occupying those spots. Incorrect? so, no, not “oh god” thorny, just me pointing out that penciling him in to those lines, specifically, seemed an unsure thing at this time ya, 14-15 a night, I agree. cool cool as for “likely” being “not an option” for you: we are very different people. I don’t believe in absolutes like that. He could get traded. Who knows. I said likely.
