Got that new thread smell. Savior it, soon it'll be full of farts and bad takes.

 

[Konnan511]

Curious to see how Cossa does or if he gets much playing time with the 30 goalies on the roster.

Most starts as the Griffins starter. They already have informed us about that.

Was that before or after the recent signings? Do you have the article by chance? Thank you!

Danny Legend gave an interview. Talked a bit about a few women coaches added to the development camp, Pav paying a visit, and how Dan Watson followed the development plan and the team really picked up from a rough start to the season.

We don't mind your bad takes but there is a reason we limit your posts here (jokes of course )

Question for those who know about skating, I don't.
Is skating technique the same for women and man ?

Why are they signing some low end AHL guy? This is a weird GR depth move.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I hope they promote Kasper and Mazur, then demote Motte and re-sign Czarnik, Luff or Hirose. The kids definitely looked ready in the AHL playoffs.

No Czarnik please cause then Lalonde will play him the second we have an injury.

It's the AHL. You need depth at every position because of call ups. You need at the minimum 8D and 15 forwards.
It's an annual tradition for people to get worked up over the most innocuous, irrelevant AHL depth signings.

You realize you can’t have team full of only stars even at the AHL right?

Can’t speak to figure skating, but general skating and in hockey… it’s the same for both, yes.
