The amount of crying from fans over trading a 25 year old middle six winger when Celebrini is having the best 18 year old season since McDavid and Will Smith is on a 16 points in 17 games run has been hilarious. Absolutely zero perspective on what actually matters.
I'm almost 100% positive that Smith is just taking the right side OZ faceoffs. Celebrini was 13 for 22 tonight, I think, so not like he's avoiding the dot.
From Wings, it was Walman, 2nd for future considerations. To Edmonton, 1st, prospect.
They didn't lose their minds, they traded them for future considerations.
And seriously, if you watch games from around the league, I don't know, maybe everyone wouldn't agree, but I'd say Randy's still better than 75% or more of the play-by-play guys out there, flubs or not.
We all know Vlasic is bad at this point of his career, but the past few games he's looked on another level. I loved the Avalanche goal the other night--who the hell knows which one--where he got dragged chasing his man literally out of the Sharks' zone, past the blue line, and a second later someone scored down low. It would be bad enough if rookies were out there playing like this. How can Thompson not take his spot on Tuesday??
I think that's the system. Man to man down low means sometimes the D chases the puck to the top of the zone. Wingers need to stick to the point man if he's pinching and center needs to win his battle. Celebrini got manhandled by MacKinnon on his two low goals.
We won the Meier trade by not having to pay him 9 million a year through 2031. Also Mukhamadullin looks awesome.Weren’t you saying that 25 year old winger meant SJ won the Mier trade
I know I've had a running "this broadcast brought to you by Tahoe Blue" joke probably since Drew came back
Not insane at all. I went last night and watched him carefully...
