Oh hey now… I thought this was ‘merica

It is, but you can't get on a plane in Russia (or anywhere) with those

Drouin is putting up at least 60 points if healthy. No doubt about it.

If he plays with MacKinnon and Rantanen that guy is going to put up 50 just being alive.

Oh hey now… I thought this was ‘merica

It is, the holdup is the U.S customs officers still gawking at his many firearms

 

[The Moops]

Flying with a firearm really isn't that crazy. You just have to follow the rules. Having said that... if he got caught with a full-auto AK and wasn't a SOT or FFL, that's a nice 10 year stint in Club Fed

This place is so nuts with the narratives and confirmation bias.

Manson adjusts something in his shorts and it spawns 100 posts on how he can't stay healthy, he sucks, should never have been re-signed, prevented them from keeping Kadri, and was the reason for their disappointing season last year.

It's actually f***ing insane. It's like people don't even read the text, use context, or have the ability to objectively look at things.

This sucks. We'll see how it goes with Peterson but Allard was awesome. By all accounts he helped the guys a ton and everyone speaks highly of him.

Insert joke about the Avs adding another former Dallas Stars player this off-season...

That line will bleed as much goals against as it generates.

Oh, Petersen played for Colorado College, huh.

"This place is so nuts with the narratives and confirmation bias."

Gee...... the wonders of social media, eh??

We're just a tiny example of how the rest of social media operates...

This place has been a primer for me on how easily humans can be talked into false narratives, if they're repeated often enough. I first started noticing it about 10 years ago here maybe and it's just gotten worse every year.

I think we're just still very young in the social media age, and we're still learning how to react to being so connected with each other. Message boards were like a microcosm of that before social media the way we know it now really took off.

Manson isn't looking all that injured....

Manson Skating

Dominated* for Colorado College

Moved to Allard thread

 

[Foppa2118]

This dude is making the team. To go along with a dogged work ethic and good faceoff ability, he's got some quickness up the middle which Bednar wants.

any update on Calum Ritchie shoulder injury recovery?

any update on Calum Ritchie shoulder injury recovery?

Think we're probably due for another update when rookie camp starts.

This was the last update I believe from mid July. Timeline has him fully healed sometime in September-October.

"Ritchie expects to be “fully recovered” in about three months."

”Four-to-six months is the timeline and I’m two months in now,” Ritchie said. “I’m hoping to be back for rookie camp. Just keep rehabbing it as much as I can and hopefully get there soon.”

Calum Ritchie is still digesting the reality of being a first-round NHL draft pick.

Easily the best university campus in Colorado.

thank u @Foppa2118

thank u @Foppa2118

I guess I should say the timeline was Septemeber-November if it's 4-6 months.

He seemed to think three months from that interview he'd be ready though. That would be five months out from surgery and be sometime in October, but he could probably skate before then and do non contact drills.

Curious to see what he's able to do at rookie camp and how his rehab has gone.

It’s really regulated getting firearms between countries there is zero chance even if it was a semi auto that he could get a gun from Russia into america. Body armor, sites, etc you’re going to prison and not passing go
