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.

Or Bruce Bruce.

 

[Waiver Draft]

2025 NHL Draft’s Adam Benak might be small, but his skill level isn’t

At 5-foot-7, he’s one of the smallest players available, but he keeps producing, and people are taking notice.

Colorado 0-4, Nashville 0-3 so far. Winless seasons incoming?

CO losing Nichushkin and Landeskog has really killed their forward group. Their goaltending is also not great, nor are the Dmen, at least defensively.

Or Bruce Bruce.

When Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden sang with Samson he went by the name Bruce Bruce.

But everyone was claiming Nashville was going to be a powerhouse

But everyone was claiming Nashville was going to be a powerhouse

Adding a bunch of UFAs often causes a lot of problems to start, people massively underestimate the impact of chemistry, especially in today's league where its faster and more precise than ever before.

When you don't have full trust on exactly where your teammate is going to be, it slows down the decision making drastically, causing turnovers, incomplete passes and eventually more selfish and individual focused play throughout the game.

I am sure that Nashville will improve as the season goes on, but could be tough sledding for a while. I have never been as high on Stamkos as the mainstream, but Marchy is pretty good and should play a strong role for them eventually. They are a lot closer to Wild caliber though than a Dallas.

Came here to mention Beckman - maybe Iowa will pick him up!

Well... the big leagues have to claim him and then pass him back through waivers again... right?

My God....the Sharks' PP is absolutely brutal. Just painfully brutal.

Fiala is such a dummy. Takes a completely unnecessary penalty in the offensive zone late in the 3rd, which let the Sharks right back into the game. Just a stupid move which nearly led to a tie game.

He can score goals, but he is often clueless and a liability so many times.
