You act like our team trains in the summer.

You two. Arguing over who's going to be more wrong.

Bro, go back a page. It's not YOUR hot take if I've already said it.

The Jedi scum who only take in ''younglings" to their epstein temple? "Anakin is too old to learn the ways of force" >Translation: this child is old enough and smart enough to not believe our ooby dooby magic talk fake ancient religion, and might resist being indoctrinated into our cult. Also Master Yoda likes them younger when theyre his size, if ya know what I mean. Would you want the catholic church sticking their nose into global politics? The Jedi do. And they don't even do it well - constant fighting amongst the trade federation, republic, and independent systems - despite their "peace keeping presence" They're just as useless as the UN. On the other hand Chancellor Palpatine immediately brought peace to the republic upon slaughtering these zealots and eliminating their parasitic influence. Did I mention he doesn't run a cult full of impressionable children taken away from their families like the jedi do? Did I also mention the jedi immediately engage in terrorist tactics once the empire takess over? Literally ISIS stuff. Mace Windu literally says to Yoda "The Sith wll run and hide as they always do" Then as soon as they lose their advantage Yoda and Obi Wan run and hide lol. The hypocrisy of the Jedi. They don't care about the welfare of the republic. Only themselves. Yoda walks with a cane for like 3 movies, then suddenly does a 720 degree backflip when threatened. Lies lies lies. Glory to the empire. Peace through victory. Refresh the page and it will work again ya dinks

Hate is good. Hate is democratic. Even the rich and the powerful cannot hate more than their slaves and subjects. Without hatred for slavery you cannot break your shackles. Without hate for injustice their can be no justice. Hate separates humans from animals. Animals cannot hate, but humans do. Humans can hate for decades and sometimes their entire lives. We can pass hate on to our children and keep hatred alive for centuries. Hate is abstract intellect. Only humans can hate people and things they have never seen or met. Only humans can hate concepts and processes. How can we know what love is if we refuse to recognize and understand hate? Love and hate are the two sides of the same coin. Without hate we are only half human. Only fools talk endlessly of love but forget to hate. Hate separates us from the weak and docile masses. One must learn to know hate and how to use it. Hate is a powerful weapon and source of strength. Hate is the most revolutionary force on the planet. Hate is what brings down entire empires. - Excerpt from his essay "HATE is GOOD" about Patrice Bergeron and the Bruins by esteemed thinker, author, and gift to all peoples, @number9

Its what sports is all about

Even if he's adequately "recovered" he still missed an entire offseason of training/conditioning/development. If you broke your leg and it took six weeks to heal you'd technically be "recovered" but I doubt you'd be out running 10Ks immediately afterward. Personally I'd prefer he start in GR and stay there until he's up to game speed. Once he's dominating, call him up. I don't see any reason to rush it considering we've got seven NHL caliber defensemen on the roster without him.

Compher is going to help this team a ton, but defensively as you've pointed out. His defensive metrics are exceptional. He can matchup against top lines and find success, which should help Larkin and Copp's lines significantly. The last two years Larkin has scored nearly a point per game despite being keyed on every single game (perhaps more than any other player in the league). Imagine how he'll score if he gets even a 10-15% decrease in quality of competition? Outside of Larkin our best defensive center last year was Suter (woof!). Compher is a great get, and he's going to be huge for us.
