I don’t want the Pegulas to sell the team… Going forward, I just want them to stay out of hockey decisions and just write checks. Unless some decision is massively wrong. So much so that it requires a firing of a GM. Other than that stay out of hockey decisions. I also find nothing wrong with them being briefed through phone calls or zoom meetings or in person meetings about the state of the organization and hockey team. And they are more than welcome to give their opinion… With the understanding that those opinions may not be adhered to or followed. Because they are leaving the decisions 100% up to hockey people. ”but but but don’t you think their opinions will influence the direction of the teams decisions”. it could, unless the GM 100% agrees with their opinion as well. just because they are in agreement doesn’t mean that the GM is following exactly what the owners want because they said so. key word … moving forward …

They consider STH as full season, and mini pack holders. IF they release the numbers, you and a few others won’t believe the numbers, so there’s that. Unless of course the numbers embarrass the owners. Then you’ll believe it. Amirite? I would bet there won’t be more than a 10-15% drop in STH’ers. I’ve been a STH since 2004, and I won’t cancel mine. And I know 12 out of 14 other STH’ers I know who aren’t either. So there’s that.

I watched most games … in the background of doing other busy work around the house. Prior years i wouldn’t do that. 35% makes sense.

What do you mean? Nice try. I was honestly trying to recall the interviews that have been reported. Nothing more. I agree if Sullivan gets the boot, KA should interview him.

So we know … Greg Carvel Bruce Boudreau Rick Tocchet Don Granato Any other confirmed interviews?

Nice job Isles. Good to see the Pens go away early. Is Mike Sullivan on the hot seat?

I’ve eaten many varieties and brands of Veggie burgers. IMO, Morningstar, Quorn, Gardein, Beyond, and Impossible are among the best brands. Dr. Praeger's, Boca, and Incogmeato are not very good IMO.

See, I took it as “analytics has its place and is very useful and can be influential, but it won’t rule my decision making”.

So … a tank.

But but but he plays with a chip on his shoulder or something. He like, checks n stuff. He plays like he belongs on Boston. Yea! Boston should go after Kassian. Perfect fit. 😂

So just heard the DG interview. He sounds great! I am still of the mindset I want more. But can completely understand and be ok with giving him a shot as well.

You completely misinterpreted what I said. Soooo not surprised.

As an owner …. IF I took a “hands off let the hockey guys handle it” approach, you are damn right I’d want to know what’s going on with my investment. Thru phone calls, video calls AND in person meetings. And I’d have them come to me for those meetings unless I was in the area already. And again IF I was hands off, I would just want to listen and jib jab with the men and women I entrust with my investment. If nothing sounded massively outrageous and wrong, I’d be cool with it all.

That’s not what I was referring to. ie: other side. Nevermind. 👍🏼

I can see the other side of the argument too. Both are very valid IMO. Does a business have a right to ask personal medical info? Do you have the Flu shot because the flu can kill people. Do you have an STD because that can greatly harm or if left untreated, kill people if they contract it from you. Do you have a disease that can alter or degrade your job performance? Degraded job performance can hurt profits, and hurt or kill fellow workers. Taking anything for mental instability of any kind? Have you in the past? I just wonder when all this shakes out, if people who are fired for refusing the shot, or refuse to answer if they got the shot or any medical question because it’s personal medical business of theirs…I wonder if they will have a legal leg to stand on. Or do private businesses have all the right to ask AND get answered all of their questions. It’s gonna be interesting…. Crystal ball predictions mean nothing as of now. Kinda boils down to freedom, privacy and reasonable public safety and public health at large. After all the name calling and accusations fade away … Yep, it’s gonna be interesting. 😂 *mandatory popcorn eating gif*

Did your workplace demand proof of vaccination or are they giving everyone the benefit of the doubt that those who claim to be fully vaccinated, are. Seems like it’s hit or miss.

Those are reasonable wishes or expectations. Unfortunately as you and I both know… That will absolutely not be followed by everyone. Nor could it be enforced to any reasonable and effective degree.

Eichel (25% retained), Asplund, Quinn, 2022 unprotected 1st and protected (top 10) 2023 1st for McDavid OR Eichel, Olofsson, Cozens for McDavid.

Passive aggressive bullying or insult throwing, to try and force people to group think like you is lame and shallow. In some instances it even shows a persons insecurity of their own beliefs. Always backfires. People just itching for a fight so they can attempt to shame you. Obvious is obvious. I’m sure some of you see that. And I’m not just talking about the topic of Covid. If you want to wear a mask if you don’t want to wear a mask… As an adult that’s completely up to you. Comfort level and all. Until it’s no longer up to you like laws, mandates, policies etc. that prohibit certain actions/activities. I’ve long stopped caring about what other people think of my stance on almost any topic. Especially on a stage like a hockey forum 😂. Some want to wear a mask still. Ok great. I’m not gonna make a sad attempt at pressuring you to not wear one. And I would expect the same respect in return. 👍🏼 Individual comfort level. Everyone’s different.

I wouldn’t want Price, unless there’s salary retained. He’s just way too expensive for too long. I don’t like paying goaltenders at the level of “ludicrous”.

Ah it’s so nice to walk into most places without a mask today.

Who will be the coach? What will his system be? Will the lines have chemistry? Who will be traded? Who will be brought in? Who will be the goaltending duo? Will players miss significant time with injury? Will any have a significant goal scoring slump? Will any partake in slump busting? If I can get those answers, I can probably predict with any level of accuracy if any player will reach 20+ goals.

And that pretty much seals the fate of Minnesota
