I’ll tell you what. When I’m trying to fall asleep, nothing helps me more than railing a few lines of coke. That always does the trick.

Justice for Nuke.

Justice for Nuke.

Isn't coke suppose to make people not want to sleep and feel energetic and pumped up?

It's like some of those old video games where if you go far enough to the right of the screen you end up on the left. So if you do enough coke you actually get really good rest...because your heart explodes. It's a bit of a permanent solution to sleep issues.

Yes

Yes you can’t??

I wonder if one way Big Moose is working on his speed/quickness is to give up smoking?

And hopefully not skipping leg days at the gym, so he can stay up on his feet and not fall down 2x a shift.

That’s what the suits at Big Heroin want you to think.

Justice for Cocaine.

Are you trying to say neurodivergent? Apologies in advance if I'm misunderstanding but I don't know what "neodivergent" is.

Are you implying he's on the spectrum, or just saying he might suffer from something like, say, ADHD? Because I have severe ADHD and also a long track record of addiction in my family. And it's true that people with ADHD tend to have traits that can lead to addiction--me included--but that's still no excuse.

I've suffered some personal family tragedy of late that's taken me away from this discussion. So I'm not trying to resurrect anything but you asked a couple of questions and it appears I left them hanging. Sorry.

Yes I meant Neuro........ just typed it wrong.

And was expressing concerns that the job conditions associated with Nuke's profession might be dangerous to his health.

Rightly or wrongly reminiscent to me of how repeated concussions means you need to stop lacing 'em up before you damage your future health. Pat Lafontaine being one of my chief influencers.

So, what the f*** happened to the youtube series? Thought there were more episodes coming?

AFAIK he didn't give any interview after he got caught in the last playoffs so everything that he could say in that Youtube series is super outdated and isn't about the current situation anyway.

Does it make sense to do load management for Nichushkin and maybe give him spot work until 10 or 15 games left and then suit him up on a regular basis?

A year ago, it would be default to say he’s not worth anywhere close to 6.25 at that point. But it’s a new world and and the high end guys (minus Marner) will be making 12-15 million per year. By that new standard, Nichushkin’s 6.25 doesn’t seem so out of line. When he’s on the ice, he’s not half as impactful as the elite players, especially in the playoffs. When he’s on the ice, he’s far more valuable than that. But the risk is obvious.

Is a possible solution to shorten his run way and to minimize the pressures of a long season by giving him spot starts and then revving him up with 10 or so games left in the season? Where it was once the case that one might say, this isn’t getting full value of his contract, that no longer seems to be the case given the rapid ascent of salaries (even for less impactful players).

If the Avs terminate his contract, the fear is that he will be the bane of our existence.

Just need him to walk around with a fake cock with clean urine like they did with Vince in that one episode of Entourage.

You just know that the testing crew is eagerly waiting for the first big Avs win streak once Nuke is back, they'll know he will piss hot.

The testing crew once Nuke scores his first goal of the season.
