Normally I wouldn't consider BOWING down to such a demand. Instead I'd even go BOWLING for other ways to push your buttons. Not that I'm some BOZO that chases BOGO offers or can't control their BOWELS.

And just to put a BOW on things, here's a free bit of trivia. Did you know that a BOWERY is actually a colonial Dutch plantation or farm?

Any nervous twitches yet? :D

I maintain he’s the worst defenceman I’ve ever seen make the NHL.

Thank you :laugh: Same. Like, I’m sure we can pull examples of guys who got a cup of coffee and were even worse, but I’ve never seen a worse NHL regular defenseman. I can’t think of a player I’d trust less as a teammate. Like, they almost had to cater the system to him, to account for his incredible propensity to fumble or turnover the puck.

I'm also going to have to go with "Who?"

Best I could come up with who this could possibly be referring to are Nick Jensen and Tomas Nosek. And like, for the most part they found themselves as solid bottom of the roster players on good teams? Good for them, but they'd still be bottom of the roster players on our bad team if they stuck around over the years.

Calle "ironhook" has carved out a bottom 6'r career with Nashville and now Toronto. He or Jensen being career nhl guys are the closest thing that could maybe be said about. But it's a stretch either way with both I agree.

You probably have to go back very far to yzerdays with the one guy they traded because they had feds and Stevie ahead of. He went to either Pittsburgh or Boston and had a great career if memory serves correctly.

Anybody here old enough, or at least FEEL old enough, to the point where we're seeing the name Bedard a lot and you look around at others complaining about it and you just know, "Yeah. Marketing 101"?

Yeah, It's through no fault of his own announcers can't go more than 3 seconds without mentioning his name... even during a game he isn't playing in! It's not like he's acting like a media whore. I can't hate on him too hard since he seems like a nice, grounded dude. I do have to at least wish jock itch or bed bugs on him because of who he plays for.

Sure but even with Jarnkrok it's not like the Wings gave up on him. They traded him as a young prospect in exchange for 4 goals and 11 points in 26 depressing games from David Legwand.

I just want to say that I said Logan Cooley was overrated as a prospect and I was f***ing wrong.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

He still can’t play defense worth a damn but he’s very exciting. Maybe a Trevor Zegras type?

Seconding this. Honestly, after Cooley I’m pretty comfortable green lighting the NTDP’s top center every year, unless there are truly glaring deficiencies.

In the coming years where Detroit is hopefully a playoff team, I really hope the draft team invest a lot of capital into the NTDP. Even their 2nd line guys seem to be solid middle six NHLers at worst.

Not so sure Jarnkrok fits the criteria of struggling here and finding success elsewhere. At the time we traded him away, we still had higher expectations for him than what he actually turned into

Sens score 5 and Stutzle who I have on my fantasy team only has 1 apple. Unacceptable
 
Kirby Dach out for the season with ACL/MCL tears. Ouch, poor kid. Wasn’t the quickest guy before this. Concerning for his future.
