Landeskog Practicing w/Team

[flyfysher]

How many of us legit thought Gabe would be successfully playing at this level in the POs much less be a dynamic catalyst to supercharge the team on the ice? I never saw it coming like this.

Bunch of F’n hillbillies.

It's not exactly a brave take to claim that people not making $9M in a year can still have inspiring stories.

I watch hockey solely for it being a distraction from the BS in the world. That said, I'm still hyper-aware that I'm watching millionaire jocks play a game for billionaire owners and mass media empires.

None of which changes how great a story Landeskog has. I get that Dallas fans may appreciate that less than us. Duh. But regardless of loyalties it is a fantastic narrative.

If you put together all of the money that members of HFAvs are worth and this is including the money that @NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS owes @RoyIsALegend for the private shows, we probably have like $690.00 between us.

Honestly, I don't think anybody was 100% sure what Lando had in the tank. Not even Bednar. Because of LTIR his first SCP game was gonna be . . . his first game period. A few shifts with the Eagles against the Henderson Silvernights were encouraging but . . . that's not Round 1 with Dallas.

2025 Lando looks a lot like like 2019 Lando. Which is pretty amazing.

I 100% thought he'd return. I even thought he'd be good after a few games.

I did not think he'd be instantaneously that good though.

I did feel there was some chance he'd be faster and lighter having lost some bulk, assuming the injury was actually fully healed. It would only make sense for him to lean out a bit.

The only thing blown way out of portion here is this guy's idea of what Landeskog makes.

He was making $9m each of the past two seasons.

Why am i such an idiot.... wait, don't answer that.

Man, I really thought his structure was just a simple 7M straight across. Just actually looked at it.. man, I don't remember any of that from when he signed. Jesus.

Brings tears to my eyes.

The fact that they know his real dollar salary vs AAV better than many of us do just makes it even more petty and hilarious lol

I’d rather hear him than Eddie O.

Seriously... I'm reading what you wrote and thinking to myself... would you rather be hung by your nipples or your scrotum?

Seriously... people are paying money to watch this shit, why make them contemplate this stuff? Who does it benefit? I happen to believe there are some seriously machavelian people employed in the NHL.

At some point fans of this team simply deserve better. I'm not sure what it's going to take... but I'm willing to walk into Altitude's corporate office and take a dump on their floor once a week if others are willing to follow suit.

In the NHL there’s incompetence like the Sabres, Canucks and Oilers management. Then there’s evil like the VGK. And then there’s organizations like the Blues, Stars and Wild that you wanna smack down.
