FTR it was wrong of me to imply in any way that these six players specifically are the perpetrators, but that’s still not a good look when the lawyer is threatening a defamation suit before the players themselves even issue individual statements. Just because pulling a Johnny Depp worked for Johnny Depp doesn’t mean you need to do it too.
He obviously fell in love with the Scioto River.Drew Carey is more Cleveland than Columbus, but he supports all of Ohio.
Columbus is actually kinda nice. Might be the only place in Ohio that is, but people paint it like the worst parts of Detroit… when it is better than Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh..
OKJust FYI, I literally named two: Kyrou and Saad.
Tarasenko isn't good defensively either. In fact his defensive numbers were objectively horrid this year. Even Ken Hitchcock, who basically browbeat Mike Modano into a two-way player the whole time he was in Dallas, knew to just let Tarasenko do his thing.
Penalty box camera nemesis Brayden Schenn was also laughably bad defensively.
And it wasn't just the forwards. Justin Faulk was merely "okay" defensively. He's never been known for play in his own end anyway--his game is predicated on offense. He's basically a modern-day Ed Jovanovski. Bortuzzo has somehow stuck around despite being pretty meh defensively and abominable offensively. And somehow, inexplicably, Armstrong re-upped Nick Leddy for four years despite the fact that he's actually horrible at BOTH ends of the ice. I'm actually delighted about that signing.
Again, the Blues overall were bad defensively this year. They just kept getting timely scoring from everywhere in the lineup and Husso bailed their asses out after Binnington crashed and burned. The good defense came from O'Reilly (even then his numbers took a hit), Buchnevich, and, surprisingly, Perron.
I agree though, they are a grind-it-up team, absolutely. But there's a vast difference being a team that plays a grinding game and one that's actually good defensively. The two are not mutually exclusive. The Flyers just loooooove being "hard to play against" and post some of the worst defensive numbers in the league every year. The Avs are almost the complete opposite of a grinding team and are also one of the best defensive teams in hockey.
I’ve only vacationed in one Ohio city—Cincinnati—but I quite liked it there. The art district down on Ludlow is awesome, and the restaurants were good. Haven’t been anywhere else, want to try Cleveland one day just to see if it is indeed as horrible as my father and others make it out to be. Any time that city comes up in conversation he calls it “The Mistake by the Lake.”Drew Carey is more Cleveland than Columbus, but he supports all of Ohio.
Columbus is actually kinda nice. Might be the only place in Ohio that is, but people paint it like the worst parts of Detroit… when it is better than Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh..
Cinci has gotten a lot better in the last decade… still has a long ways to go, but not what it was 20-30 years ago. Columbus is light years ahead of Cinci.
Read one page and immediately had to leave. Those are some inbred comments.
Its crazy man. Some people dont think its a big deal. This is a huge deal.
I feel that. Except I’m cool with 3 more states between myself and the in-laws lol
Avs set the market for unproven 3 year deal for young goaltenders pushing for the starting job
I love the idea of the league's best goal scorer playing in a 5,000 seat college arena.
