Around The NHL Part XXX

He’s dead to me.

Thought you meant Nylander cornrows for some reason, that's why I originally liked it.

Steven Fogarty signs with the Sabres organization.

There goes the cup.

Ah and so dies the Doc Emrick drinking game.

Speaking of which, Face the Music might be the best part of 2020 so far. Maybe second best after Laf.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but that Bill& Ted 3 did nothing for me. It was very predictable and unnecessary.

The Good of 2020

1. Family is healthy
2. Steady work and personal health (especially I got back into the country days before lockdown)
3. A track to run on close to where I live
4. Lafreniere
5. YouTube Editing Contributions
6. Rangers trading Staal
7. Figuring out why I've had zero success with women I like and doing something to improve


Obviously we can laugh and make #4 and #6 on my list the top two, but this is from a grownup POV.

Tierney posted a thing today about how McDavid is bad defensively mostly because he never, ever blocks shots and I'm honestly really ok with that.

I'm pretty sure Gretzky didn't either.

who is tierney?

Some analytics nerd. Probably the best one left that hasn't been scooped up by a pro team (for now).

It also keeps him on his feet which is what makes him the most dangerous player in hockey. It seems odd to ding a guy for blocking shots, which isn't even a good proxy for defense to begin with, when the value for him to counterattack exceeds him not blocking shots by like a bajillion.

If Lafreniere isn't above your family's health, what are you even doing here?

Well Tierney didn't criticize him, per se, he just posted a whole bunch of micro-stats and pointed out that blocking is the only thing he's bad at.

If that's the thing he's bad at, I can live with it.

He’s bad at blocking a shot because half the time when he is on the ice he has the puck on his stick lol.

unless of course he starts giving the puck away to just block a shot I don’t see him improving

Blackhawks announce they are rebuilding via letter.

The Rangers were honest with their fans and it paid off. Hopefully this is a trend moving forward and the Rangers spearheaded it.

Gorts on a clear path to legend status.

Everyone is copying Gorton

Could you imagine the Oilers at an arbitration hearing: “We would just like to point out that Mr. McDavid has the lowest shot blocking total in the league.”

Better to do it before your captain gets mad IMO.

I'm thinking back to the board room meeting with Bruins brass right before they traded Seguin.

"He's a star player, there's no doubt. But does he fit our culture?"

That guy should have been fired on the spot.

Unbelievable.

v different to send it after Toews and Kane publicly slam you. Nothing more than damage control. 0 points for bowman.
