And that’s the sound of Jarvis never drawing a penalty again

I thought "drawing a penalty" was when you caused someone to commit a penalty against you?
Get out of here with that logic shit

How long would it take for referees to say the same cliches in the interviews like most of the players?
- We have to play full 60 minutes
- We have a great team
- You just have stick to the gameplan/system
- The crowd was great
- Gotta get pucks on the ice and keep our eyes open
Etc.
I got to imagine the last one would take a while for the refs to use...

spittin chicklets had Bunting on "today". Weirdly it was an interview done after our first road trip in October.
Bunting is a good story of perseverance and overcoming not getting a lot of attention.
He fully embraces his playing style and having that punchable face.
He wasnt given an offer by Toronto this off-season. He had some other offers July 1st but the call from Rod to discuss his role helped with our offer. he wanted to go to the winner.
Bunting was interested in our playing style.
Volleyball was his 2nd favorite sport. he got a red card once for chirping a dude during a game.
Spitting Chicklets group of hosts had the same review of us they have had for a while. Good but not good enough.

I believe the exact context of the embracing his role was Biz asking him if he was always such a piece of shit on the ice and Bunting responding, uh yeah.

So Aho isn’t even in the skills competition, even though he’s won the accuracy shooting before and is pretty much as fast as everyone else there save McDavid? What a dumb f*** concept (for fans of anyone but Canadian teams and Colorado).

I'll probably check the skills out for the new gimmick they're going with. But it is funny they try to insist on having guys named to the All Star team because every team's fanbase needs a reason to watch, but then they switch up the Skills format to keep the majority of guys out of it. I guess the upside is the players will hopefully care a little more in this format and they are somewhat marketing some big time stars with it.
That’s ok….more rest and perhaps won’t get injured the way svetch did after the AS Game

- the need for ticket price increases
- sounds like a deal is in the making for an AHL team - summer announcement?
- PNC related stuff - on about the 20th set of plans for the renovations
- trade deadline line sounds like depth finds, if possible
- plans for reups remain at season's end including RBA although his could be sooner

Honestly I do think Aho is one of those NHLers who just tries to outwork players and outsmart them. He wasn't blessed with a Kucherov elite vision or a Stamkos elite shot, particularly imposing frame, or even elite skating. He thinks the game overall better than most NHLers and is more tenacious than most. Reminds me a touch of Crosby in that he does a lot of things well and also has a grinder kind of mentality, even though a lot of parts of his game are different. He fits the team perfectly as a 1C under Brind'Amour, as I don't think a lesser working but more skilled Aho would do as well as the focal point of the team's offense.
