Been meaning to ask you......what exactly is the main purpose of your predictions?

1. Being silly?
2. The one in one billionth of a chance to be correct?
3. Sarcasm? :sarcasm:
4. Your way of saying hello?

Enlighten me please. I just dont get it. Maybe the answer is all of the above, i dunno. Why not just a regular prediction?

That is a regular prediction.

Rozsival and Malik we're like +40 that year or something.

Rozsival played way over his head on those teams and did alright. He got booed.

Play way over your head and suck at it, though, and this fanbase rallies around you.

Really funny how that works.

Eye test!

Rozsival occasionally made some bad gafs and was another in the long line of "offensive defensemen who doesn't hit!" even though he wasn't really that big or an offensive defenseman. People remember the gafs, they don't remember when he played well.

Malik was a big guy who wasn't physical so of course he was hated from day 1. He's the kind of player that I wonder what advanced analytics would say about these days because I don't remember him being very good but could see him as one of those guys who actually turned play the other way quickly and was better defensively than people thought (I seem to remember he was good with the breakout passes).

That said I also seem to remember they basically were attached to Jagr at the hip and probably benefited hugely from playing with him all the time.

That's true, they did get a lot of time with Jagr.

Although, we did have pretty much no other NHL defenseman but those two until Tyutin came up. Then we acquired Redden...I guess. Then our top pair was Staal-Girardi. Man, this is why Hank has such a crazy GSAA.

Unbelievably underrated pairing

Vegas has this at 6.5. Surprisingly high, those picks better be behind Anderson.

We get right tonight. Not pretty, but the end result will punish the tank bros. 4-2 Rangers.

A guy that used to hang at Cafe 31 got interviewed one night in-between periods by Trautwig. I believe it was against the Flyers. When Trautwig asked him a question about the game, he went blank-faced and all he could muster up was. "I hate Marek Malik". To this day my i still laugh about it becuase it was so random and MSG didn't cut it out.

That same guy probably has a Girardi jersey and a Pionk jersey.

The fact that our right side has Chytil, Fast, Strome and Fogarty on it shows our enormous lack of winger depth in the organization, something that has to be addressed.
 
Rozy was trash without Jagr and he was soft. Malik was worse and even softer.
