Crosby is going to make him look decent and all sorts of fans around the league will bemoan their team not signing him.

I’m all for it. This actually gives me something to be interested in, in the NHL! I’ll root for the kid 100%.

It's early, but as of now it appears that Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy is the better man for the job than Brad Treliving.

It is nice to see some people appreciate what Craiger has done in year one.

I’m Jealous, he seems great.

I’m Jealous, he seems great.

Most of the guys on the hockey team when I was in school were good guys, despite what their reputation was around campus.

I am not surprised by the success of guys like Conroy, JF Houle (Laval's head coach in the AHL), and Chris Clark (Dir Player Personnel & AHL GM in Columbus).

One guy that I think may move up soon is Buffalo native Todd Marchant. He was the Anaheim Dir of Player Development for 12 years before moving to the Sharks last season in the same role.

"Spectacle"? Like the drunken dumbf***ery of people boozing it up in Nashville wasn't spectacle enough in 2023.

Hockey is in the dark ages. Imagine Beane drinking in the Bills headquarters while drafting.

"Hey boys, drink up! We're taking Bryan Bresee! Same initials as me!"

Feels like you've recreated Bill Guerin's trip to the podium in Nashville pretty accurately.

Didn't see it posted. Leg stuck and twisted kind of like Quinn.

Ugh. One of the few likeable players on that team

I find it exceptionally difficult to feel sympathy for any injured TBL player.

Even then, he's still on the Lightning and done some dirty things in his own right.

Jacob Trouba confirmed Captain.

I'm sure the USAHockey culture Guerin was part of at Nagano is going to go over well when his alcohol reddened face and sunken eyes blearily slur out the words to the Star Spangled Banner in the consolation game.

Is it wrong to be jealous of other teams for having real GMs?

Sure. Guerin is not that guy.

It was pretty clear that he broke both from how his leg bent and flopped.

Funny that Tampa gives a thorough anatomical breakdown while we were stuck with "somewhere between his bellybutton and big toes" on Quinn Hope no one slashes Sergachev's shins in the future due to this this opsec breach.

I'm kind of assuming Quinn has a similar injury considering the leg trapped under and twisting. Although he didn't require the stretcher.
