I was more PO'd he left school. He would've been the 2nd line center behind Cooley the next year.

Will accept caffeine.
I was afraid the reference might've missed the mark. Thank you for proving my fears wrong, and for being a poster of culture.

So there's a guy named Ivan Ivan playing for the Avalanche.
How practical that must be. No more "His name was Steve, but I don't remember his last name..."
Yes you do. It's Steve Steve.
Or Leonard Leonard. Or Christian Christian. Or Bo Bo.

It's a bit of a shame that he doesn't play for the Rangers in New York, New York.So there's a guy named Ivan Ivan playing for the Avalanche.

If anyone is feeling bad about the Gaudreau contract, maybe you will get some comfort from Islanders waiving Engvall just one year after signing him to a 7 year deal with $3m AAV.
It could be worse.

so now they are going back to in-person? Which... it didn't make sense to stop in the first place so I guess this is better?
what a confusing league... players too injured to count against the cap get to play in the playoffs, sometimes a dirty play is a fine and sometimes it's fine, hockey in the desert cannot work which is why we're looking to expand back as soon as we can ... and on and on....

I think the plan always was for them to have an in-person part where the prospects are there, while the team personnel like GMs and scouts attend remotely.
No they are not going back to an in person draft. Just because they have a draft host, doesn't mean each team will be there in person. They're going to be like the NFL, teams are each in their war room at home, players go up on stage at the draft location.

Fun for the kids that fly there with their entire families and don't get picked.
I wonder if it also leads to fewer draft-day trades, the kind that make watching the draft fun.

Yeah and it'll be winter too, so he doesn't have to worry about the 110 degree heat the whole way
