You know exactly what is going to happen with Torts. He is the modern day Keenan, except in a cap league.

You would think with the success of guys like Cooper and Bednar that teams would give more chances to guys from lower leagues, but nope, the opposite happens. It is astounding how many of the leagues coaches were fired by other teams, and in many cases not just once but multiple times.

Soft goal by Kuemper

Kuemper is trash - put in the wrong hander

Edit: i predict he will be yanked at some point
 
Chelios is right on point Kuemper is feeling the pressure and Vasilevskiy is smelling some blood.
 
Pretty good game 1. OT feels like it’s done in the first two minutes or it’s going double OT minimum.
 
Hedman never impresses me and that shit tastic effort on the GWG was laughable

way to overplay a shot block on f***ing compher and then just stand around with your dick in your hand

I mean the team is tailor made to cater to his abilities, they even have one of the best shutdown pairings in recent history behind him, and when he's on he's on but jesus christ is he overrated

Yeah, the last two goals he didn't do a damn thing to prevent them. He had a great view though.:nod:

It says a lot about how rare guys like Doughty and Hedman are. Makar is a lot like Karlsson, just absolutely gifted offensively. Two-way guys that control the ice on both sides are really hard to come by.

I've always thought the same too. Always thought he was extremely overrated defensively. Offensively, sure he puts up points cause of who he has to pass to but defensively he's average at best.
 
Hedman is pretty dang good defensively. He's not at Drew's level, but he's still a pretty big force back there. I think he is a bit overrated as well, but yeah, when he's on he's really good.

I can't help but think if Drew had a team like Tampa around him, he'd have multiple Norris. He'd be in the 70's every year.
 
Seems like half the time I watch Tampa this postseason it seems like they’re going through the motions. It’s understandable winning back to back and then making the finals in the 3rd year.

Also thought Sergachev didn’t look good, bad turnover in OT. Got out muscled by Helm early on, don’t like what I’ve seen from him.

A lot of my old pals from Florida are Tampa fans and Sergachev has been their whipping boy for a couple years now. They think its funny when I say LA fans really want him and would be willing to give up a big haul.

Can say that about almost any team in the league....half the boad here wants Kopitar gone, and 30 other teams fansbase would say yea...come here....I just chalk it up to the nature of fandom......seems like they are always going to be hardest on their own players.......unless you want to trade them, then they are the kings of the world lol

Given that he has a stake in Fenway Sports Group as a part-owner, I wonder if we'll ever see him get to raise a non-NBA championship trophy after a Red Sox or Penguins win. The owners and extended staff usually have the privilege of doing so, so I don't see why not. It would be pretty crazy to see, but also kind of cool as you mention.

He will lift the Premier League trophy… he loves a Liverpool shirt.

Not sure where to post or if already posted, but the Kings writer for the Athletic is no longer with them. Not sure if Athletic is cutting costs or what lead to it.
