It's Frederick County. Point of Rocks, MD. You go a county west into Washington County, which from me is only 10 minutes-ish, and it's for sure Western MD. I'm also 2 minutes from VA and 10 from WV.

got 2 friends who live in fredneck. was down there in june for one of their weddings.

LMAO the way they slowly said his name and there’s no video footage

I would be a millionaire if I got a dollar for every time someone was described a “tireless worker”

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Trade Georgie and select Raty

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Raty, Pinelli, Stenkoven

The dream is still alive!

"Weaponize cap space"
"Monetize assets"
"Under Gallant..."

 

[will1066]

On a programming note, anyone know why the league teamed with Sportsnet rather than TSN?

"Weaponize cap space"

Drury's trying to make this team like the expansion Golden Knights so Gallant can overachieve with them

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Taking a time out w Vegas pick?

 

[Thirty One]

TIME OUT!

Being tough to play against does not mean you have be a heavyweight fighter. Did you watch the playoffs? It means forechecking, hitting, creating space, going to the dirty areas and not playing perimeter hockey. Blais and Goodrow both do that. There is obviously a plan here and I'm sure Gallant and Drury have spoken many times as to the type of structure and team they envision.

The trade was a kick in the balls because when you combine it with Larry and the rest of them just whining about "grit" and Tom Wilson it felt like the organization threw Buch away, almost kind of blaming one of our best players for a season with bad coaching, bad depth players, locker room drama, teenagers who looked shellshocked half the time.

But independent of the price of the Goodrow contract/Blais trade those guys should be good gets, the Rangers were horrible at just winning puck battles. And it puts Kakko and Laf in a position to really show what they can do.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Opted to use a timeout? Can they do that?

 

[HonestGabe]

Vegas making a move here?

 

[will1066]

Zellwegger and Steenbergen bring a Hollywood flavor to today's proceedings

Money.

Yeah, it's nice out here. It's not quite Fredneck like it used to be. So many people have moved here in the last ~20 years as prices in Montgomery County, MD and NoVa have gotten ridiculous. I mean my house, I'd have to pay $800K-$1M for it in those places now, but in Frederick we were able to get it ten years ago for under $400K. My neighborhood is like 50% government workers, 30% other people who work random places in DC, then the rest wherever. I see half my neighborhood on the train in the morning.

Anyway, draft!

INTRIGUE

 

[Ail]

Strome for Reaves and 2nd.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

If Drury can some how select Raty he will make up for the last 24 hours.

Zellwegger is very good

 

[EdJovanovski]

Vegas making a move here?

I’d think so, the last pick was way off the board so you wouldn’t think their guy was taken. You’d think another team is surprised the guy they want is available and are moving up

The second paragraph is the most positive spin for sure, well said.
