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

[cptjeff]

Would you want that guy to make the calls during a fast moving sporting event?
The answer is no, dont be so butt hurt

He's also been dressing funny lately, or should I not make fun if that because he had a stroke?

Maybe I'm just on xitter too much, where there are a bunch of toxic asses saying he's been replaced by a body double because he's recovered and is speaking normally again (well, as normally as a Senator who uses phrases like "circlejerk" and "grabbing the hog" in interviews can be). He'd do just fine calling a sporting event now, or as fine as any layman would. It would likely require bleeping, though.

As for attire, he's always dressed like a yinzer, even as Lieutenant Governor. I'm pretty sure that he bought his first suit after the election. Part of why working class PA likes him so much.

Speaking normally lol

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It's all just a distraction. They're going after his dress code because they want their fanbase to focus on that, instead of the upcoming government shutdown they're orchestrating because of infighting that they can't control.

We should consider Kessel on a 1y contract

Crushing..so often it's the good ones.

Laine seems to be serious about moving to the center.

Laine seems to be serious about moving to the center.

I like Laine, always have, would love to see him here with Aho. But I don't think this is gonna come remotely close to working out well for him or the team.

Probably not, but hey, it a no-lose situation for either side. If they still suck, well, it's Columbus. If he is able to elevate his game, they may be able to ease Fantilli in instead of feeding him to the wolves.

Kudos to Laine for trying it out. I do think that kind of thing develops a player and makes them better.

At the same time, if I were to write a list of all the NHL wingers who would be worst at transitioning to C, Laine would be near the top of that list. I'm skeptical, but I shouldn't doubt Laine as he has the talent.

Edit: LOL at 3 of us posting the same thought at the same time.

Won’t be beating this score

Puckdoku Game 88 - 9/9:

8 Uniqueness

Puckdoku

Guess NHL players based on team, season, and stats. Choose wisely, as you only get 9 shots to fill the board.

Is that pronounced “shitter”?

Yes.

With Vas out until thanksgiving and florida’s defenders too, can Buffalo/ Ottawa start well enough to hold them 2 back? If either or both start slow, they will miss a golden opportunity.

I think that both of them certainly are capable of a fast start. If anything will hold either of them back, however, it's goaltending. The Senators may be forced to cap dump somebody of decent value, as well, which will also have a negative impact.

We have a thread for this kind of talk. Would be nice if folks used it.

(Not coincidentally, I have that thread blocked.)

Yes, just like last year when Boston was all banged up and missed the playoffs because of their slow start....

I think so.....I thought that Fl was on the outs anyway with one of Buffalo or Ottawa slotting ahead (Sens I thought was better positioned).

Minnesota continues their cap mismanagement by giving Foligno 4 x 4. The zucc one was risky but okay. That foligno one won’t be good year 2

Hell it's not good in year 1, he's a 25pt player generally

I know DW and Dundon are seen as quite shrewd negotiators but these offers for Pinto, Zegras, and Drysdale are worse than shrewd.

Dundon and Waddell have historically paid their RFAs very well. It's UFA where they've been somewhat stingy about until this offseason.

Aho being the one outlier.
