I thought it was too many passes until they actually connected on all of them.

Lol we’re so jaded that we just expect them to either not connect on one of them or for the puck to be stolen

A playoff defence?

With respect   Bryson shouldn't be in the NHL, Samuelsson and Clifton are bottom pair plugs at best.  You can have 1 but not 2 of them on your club and be expects to be a playoff team 

They're the 4th, 6th, and 7th defensemen, and if it's a playoff team, they're trading for a rental for additional depth at the deadline. The lack of a true partner for Power to be the real #4, their ages/experience, and having less redundancy in puck-moving LHD are the larger issues. (As well as forwards who aren't great defensively, and a poor season from UPL.)

Now, why 7/8 Bryson already has an extension -- that's another thread that's already ongoing. And yes, he should be the 8 that gets waived/clears every season.

It's like TB, swapping:

Hedman - Moser
McDonagh - Samuelsson (Cernak)
JBD (Raddysh) - Clifton (Lilleberg)
(scratch: Bryson (Perbix)

If your top 3 play like top-3 overall picks and are all solid 2-way veterans, it's a serviceable regular season corps and you add someone for the playoffs.

Note: Cernak was drafted with a LA 2nd round pick traded with McNabb for Deslauriers and Fasching.

Jack Quinn finally showing signs of life. He's got a lot to prove and needs a good offseason. 

I’ll just be happy if he doesn’t get hurt working out 😂👍

Interesting assessment. Never thought of it that way. Sadly these guys are in their 60’s and rather talk about life 40+ years ago than actually talk about the game

Effectively this is the first full generation of the post-radio only broadcast style. RJ, Cole, Foley, Doc Emeric, among many others were either Radio-announcers or were direct protégés to them and modeled their calls to a degree off them. 
 

Most announcers nowadays have zero radio-only experience or if they do were meant purely as secondary broadcasts. The artistry of radio announcing going to TV was a very lucky combination of radio going way to TVs and teams keeping their announcers.
