In hindsight, Rob Blake basically betting his rebuild on the acquisition of two total head cases wasn’t the best idea.

Also…Hillier? Really?

I don't really consider Five Guys as fast food. There is no drive thru, you have to park and go inside to order, and it takes several minutes to get your food after you order.

Their burgers and fries are the bomb, though. Worth it to go in and get it. But to me, they are more liken to a SmashBurger, or Red Robin

I definitely agree that Five Blokes fries are some of the best like ever, especially with Cajun seasoning on it. With that said, I still think Cherry Cricket has the best fries I've had though. It's like Five Blokes, but with more crisp.

You guys need fries at 5 guys? I find that 1200 calorie cheeseburger to be enough for a meal.

That's why you get a small cheeseburger and small fries because that is a medium to even large for the rest of the world lol.

The Caps Rangers game is a wild one

Great game, definitely the best of the season so far easily. I was entertained.

Will Smith with 0 points in his first 8 NHL games.

At what point do the Sharks consider sending him down to the AHL? He is playing on the 3rd line between Goodrow and Kunin. Even Ritchie was able to pot a goal before Smith.

Watching Sharks/Kings... We need these type of awesome fans who go to a Tuesday night game to cheer on their hapless franchise when we're getting our shit pushed in by Chicago fans every single time they come through Denver. Man that shit pisses me off.

If Blake was in a coma the past 2 years the Kings would've been a better team.

Rob Blake sucks ass as a GM

Completely rushed the Kings rebuild. Had multiple long-term pieces and traded them for immediate help. Now the team is stuck in no man's land.

Some Habs fans are ready to unload Newhook already

I was going to post about this, too. I was kind of excited to watch the Sharks play this year with a bunch of young talent. While they may not be good, at least they might be fun to watch. Then Celebrini got hurt and it looks like Smith is off to a terrible start. The team is just a terrible as it was last year.

Has anyone watched Smith play? Is he just overwhelmed out there?

I wouldn't say Smith has looked good, but he's also not looked as bad as the points stat would indicate. He's between two guys who may not hold up in a 4th line role on good teams, and the results are as expected there. Their on-ice shooting percentage is something like 3% despite actually having good offensive metrics. I don't think it is of huge concern right now.

On Newhook... he's disaster defensively and not producing offensively. Not exactly shocking people are getting testy. He's really struggling to get any space and in the NHL that is key for smaller frame players. They would do a lot of good for Newhook, but moving him to wing and making him the 2nd or ideally the 3rd best player on the line. I get Dach is not a great center either, but Newhook just doesn't have the goods at the position either. Forcing it won't help.
