That's okay, if I started about Pumpkin Chunkin' you would probably have no idea what I meant either.

when I think about it, yeah maybe sorry for speaking euro, everybody.

PP We look good early. Surreal, isn't it?

Boys, get the puck into the o-zone and then shoot the puck at the net. This isn't hard. You don't need two forwards behind the net all the time. PP

Quite right

Yeah I had no idea either

What is motm? I don't speak Canadian.

End of 2nd. Wings lead 1-0.

And you're HERE! How strange. Maybe ChristopherReevesLegs was ... wrong?

BERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LGRW!

Crapping on Zadina is sooooo Zombo vs Mantha 2018

Green! PPG after giving them a great scoring chance!

It's an annual competition in America where people make giant slingshots, catapults, and air powered cannons to see who can launch a pumpkin the furthest. Good series of saves from Bernie

Are we back to offensive impotence? I see only 12 shots through 2 so far..

man of the match.. duh..

And soon over to the dreaded 2nd period

This team looks way more tougher.... And also is keeping it more simple. Easy plays, getting physical... Boy they look different... But wait & see cuz'.... Wings

Just thinking the same. They must have listened to Red Wings twitter

I'm suggesting that goalies are voodoo, and that they're way too hard to predict. I believe that Askarov's bust potential is MUCH higher than anyone else I'd rank in the top 10. That's why I personally wouldn't draft him with a top 5 pick. Like I said, I wouldn't take a goalie in the top half of the 1st round. I'm not suggesting we should take a player of need, the way you are with Byfield. If anything it's the opposite. I acknowledge that goaltending is a major need, but would rather acquire one later in the draft, or via trade / free agency... Nope, there's nothing at all to suggest that Lafreniere is anything more than your average top of the draft player... Nothing at all... Why are you hung up on Dahlin? He's almost a point per game defenseman as a 19 year old. We shouldn't be looking at how good players are on draft day, but how good they will be in their prime, but a defensemen playing his sophomore season, is what he is apparently... Maybe people did overhype Dahlin, but also... maybe they didn't. He still could be a generational defenseman, and better than Makar and Hughes and any other defenseman in the league in a couple years. I think in a few years we'll be looking back on the 2020 draft, and Lafreniere will be by far the best player of the draft. He'll be the top winger in the league, and it won't be close. I can't say I think Byfield will be the top center in the league. Maybe not even top 10. Even if that were to be the case in 2023, you'd probably say, "well a top 15 center in the league, is more valuable than the top winger in the league"... And that's where I think our biggest difference in opinion comes from. Elite wingers are no less important than centers. They can do everything centers can do on the ice, except take draws, and even the best faceoffs guys in the league are basically a 50/50 toss up on any draw. Wingers can drive play, shut down top players, be setup guys or trigger men. This gets back to why I believe Lafreniere could, if he wanted to, convert to center. Not saying he will or should, but he most definitely could. Not getting into that again though...
