2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

[TangoMcBride]

Yeah, I think you've gotta ship out Marchment and Dumba. Hopefully one of Stranges/Blumel can replace Marchment's production. Dumba is obviously addition by subtraction.

I have a feeling the hope is Blumel re-signs and that is the case.

Jonathan Toews $1M AAV

a lot of texas high school football weight rooms put that to shame. i really expected a lot more. i mean, what's there looks nice and all, but goodness it really shows how far behind hockey is compared to football

Jonathan Toews $1M AAV

Yup, I can see that too.

He's right up Jim Nill's alley for players he likes to go after.

Well, they have 20 dudes versus... 150 teenagers. When's the last time a high school football team had a sauna?

i mean sure, but that's kind of my point. high school facilities in football rival this professional setting. and that's not even talking college.

idk specifically about a sauna, but that didn't look much bigger than the ones you can buy from costco

 

[Frozen Failure]

It's a gym how nice does it need to be? Sure, it ain't NFL team facilities, or even top tier college ball facilities but the sheer amount of money and people going through those places kind of necessitate both some scale and nicety.

Here's the Rangers one:

Here's the Cowboys on a drone tour:

Yeah, hockey isn't big, but does it need to be big?

Putting Lyub's face on something you want people to click on is a wild decision

 

[TangoMcBride]

I appreciate how he translated Lybushkin's grunts when he was lifting weights.

It's a Russian language youtuber doing the tour? He also toured Nuke's house.

When you play games every second day you aren't in the gym.. football is a lazy ass sport that plays once a week.

A lot of Texas high school weight rooms are also overdone because dipshits care more about football than they do education.

My money is on JRob getting moved. His agent is going to point to Mikko’s contract and there’s no way Jim Nill pays 2 wingers that kind of money. JRob will be at peak value this off-season, perfect time to cash out.

 

[eartotheground]

wonder if we'll get word on roope's face today

wouldn't think it needs to be big, just doesn't look like enough stations for 23 guys. they all practice the same time, it'd stand to reason that if they're working out at the facility, they're likely going to do it at similar times.

maybe that's not the case, idk. but to @MrHeiskanen 's point, they probably aren't lifting a ton during the season anyway

Yeah I don't think they do much weight training, mobility and bike would be my guess. Most off days you are skating/practicing and cooling off on the bike. Most NHL guys are not muscular at all.
