Around the League 39: Will Kessel Sign in Winnipeg? The World Waits with Dogged Breath!

[hblueridgegal]

True or not..while TNT is more out of the box and more open to differing opinions especially by NHL standards, I can't believe that TNT isn't shutting him down.

By "making it up", I meant blowing it out of proportion.

Babcockmania is in full swing, baby!

Lulz.

Boomer Coach: *executes garden variety workplace power move*

Gen Z Player: *Fails to recognize power move* "AAAAAAAAAAAA What is even happening to me AAAAAAAA"

I'm going to enjoy him attempting the 2nd act of his career in this environment. I foree a "Long Drive by Castellanos" moment before the year is up and then out!

I’ve never liked Babcock but more than that I’m not sure his body of work backs him up as even being that good of a coach. Yeah he had success with team Canada but like… they’re team Canada. he had that one successful year with the ducks because of giguere and won one cup with that stacked wings team. I haven’t followed him like super close or whatever but I just don’t see someone worth bringing in baggage for

100%. If there was a burger made out of nothing … this would be it.

He asked about my family… I mean, what kind of game is that? What is he up to?

Asking a guy you meet to see his phone to get an idea of what type of person he is and leaving it at that is being awkward.

Putting those photos on a publicly viewable large device is a power move.

Yeah, wouldn't it be worse if he told he knows where your family goes to school etc.?

It sounds like he was doing one-on-ones with all the Blue Jacket players, asking about their families, off-season, etc.

And (I'm assuming) putting them on the big screen would be part of a "Hey, this is what's important, what you're playing for, etc. Hockey is hockey, but family first" kind of speech he'd give to the entire team together.

LOL. He probably thought he was being all kinder and gentler by doing it that way. "Hey, it's not like the old days when I'd walk up next to them at the urinal, and make steady eye contact as I fished my Schvantz out of my pants"

Atlanta Flashers for the wiiiiin

 

[HisIceness]

I'd say call them the Thrashers again but just revamp the colors and logo.

The old Jets were nothing special yet everyone was clamoring for that name to return, ditto the Nordique if they were to come back (lol).

So we could go with the Atlanta Northerners.

Just because Seattle missed on their opportunity doesn't mean Atlanta has to make the same mistake.

The Atlanta Phoenix. Works well for two reasons, they are born again from the ashes....and lets everyone know where they came from.

Some of you may think this is a joke, but this is actually a thing in Atlanta already:

 

[Chrispy]

Personally, I'd go with a better Atlanta legend: the Atlanta Mermen.

I mean, it was a joke. But the best jokes have some reality to them.

Like, why didn't Ken and Barbie have any kids? He came in a different box.

See, some reality makes it a great joke.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Atlanta half naked bird lovers seems like an odd and very long name.
Atlanta HNBLs? Now they are the people eaters.
