100-0what’s our record with macdermid in the lineup
Haven’t had a chance to listen to this, but it came up on my YouTube feed and wanted to share.
Monday's episode which I missed since I was distracted by sports. Looks like Chris cost himself $1,000 in prize money with a non-strategic Final Jeopardy wager. [/petpeeve]

I would love to get Pospisil, I’ve had that pipe dream for a while, but they don’t really have any reason to trade a future RFA making 1m unless we weirdly overpay.Not a great faceoff guy (and maybe better as wing), but Martin Pospisil from Calgary is very speedy and had 200+ hits last year. Takes too many penalties and hasn’t been good this year, but he’d be an interesting name to look at if they’re selling.

You and my Dad need to watch Jeopardy together. He pauses the show before they get to their Final Jeopardy answers to tell us what all three wagers should be.
Is that Pierre McGuire? Or just one of the 123 bald guys in hockey that look just like him?
It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only weirdo who does that. Granted I suppose it might be difficult in the heat of the moment to do the mental math, but that's definitely something I would drill ahead of time if I knew I was going on the show. 1st place has the most limited option but 2nd and 3rd place can have some strategic wagers. I've gotten in arguments with friends who didn't understand that finishing in 2nd place with "$30,000" doesn't mean they go home with $30,000.
I was about to say there’s no way the one guy is Tom Fitzgerald and show the screenshot, and then it actually took me screenshotting it to realize that it clearly says Pierre McGuire and some other guy. I guess they host the podcast.No, Its Tom Fitzgerald. Says so on the thumbnail.
Could not be happier for him. Took a team friendly deal and is playing his nuts off now.
From The Athletic:
The NHL’s 9 most impressive bounce-back players this season
Jonas Siegenthaler, New Jersey Devils
There are several reasons why the Devils had such a disappointing season last year, and their underperforming blue line is high on the list. Damon Severson and Ryan Graves’ offseason departures stung and Dougie Hamilton’s season-ending injury was a major blow, but Siegenthaler and John Marino’s down years were the final blow to the back end’s stability.
Siegenthaler, who’d been an underrated shutdown defender during his first two seasons in New Jersey, struggled mightily in 2023-24. Corey Sznajder’s tracking data revealed he was becoming a turnover machine and allowing rush chances at appalling rates. The Devils were outscored by 10 goals during his five-on-five minutes last season.
The 27-year-old defender is back to his reliable old self again. Siegenthaler and his new partner Johnathan Kovacevic (who’s been one of the most pleasant surprises in the NHL since being acquired from the Canadiens) have been assigned the toughest matchups on New Jersey’s blue line and are crushing it — Siegenthaler’s 57 percent expected goal share is the best mark of his career and they’re outscoring opponents 17-8 at five-on-five.
Siegenthaler has been the Devils’ most valuable defenseman so far this year, according to Dom Luszczyszyn’s Game Score model. He’s been one of the quiet drivers behind New Jersey’s rise back up the standings.

I don't have the Athletic so not sure what is shown in the link, but according to NST Sieg's did not have a high giveaway rate last year. Much higher this year. Is that different then turnovers?

Evidently, Fitz is making the podcast rounds this week. Here's a clip from a completely separate podcast that got shared by Amanda. Nice stuff to hear about making Nico captain at a young age and his view on how Jack sees Nico.
