We got rid of Brett Lebda. Notre Dame hasn’t forgotten or forgiven.

Put him in goal with regular skater gear.

As others have said, the clean look of the logo alone looks great. The Hockeytown logo was good during the 4 cups from 1997-2008 era but with the team in a rebuild mode and placing in the bottom half of the league it was not working. Kind of like a team’s fan base saying they are the greatest ever but have either never won a cup in either franchise’s existence or are in a longer cup drought than Detroit endured from 1955-1997.

I remember that Thornton dive all too well. There was a gif made of it that gave Franzen a lightsaber.
Here is a link

Pronman himself says he is VERY conservative with how he projects goalies. The guy definitely puts in his research time, imho.
A clarification for what he means by has a chance:
Have a chance: Probably not an impact guy but could play in the league and has the toolkit to have an outside chance to be a real player. Have a chance refers to probability to be a good player, not his probability to play NHL games.
From his explanation article:
I value goalie prospects very conservatively. In the past 10 years or so, I’ve only rated one goalie who I thought would be a top-tier player (Andrei Vasilevskiy) and only a handful who I’d project to be a starting goalie in the NHL.
FWIW, I am really digging the NHL coverage in the Athletic.

In saying that, you can be the best swimmer in the world and still drown. My grandfather was a great swimmer, but jumped in the water one evening (it'll be 20 years in a couple months), hit his head and drowned. I'm assuming something similar happened to Emery... I think everyone should know how to swim, but more importantly, any time you do go for a swim you should have reliable, able swimmers with you. Unfortunately my pop didn't. It's still unknown whether Ray did or not...
I agree wholeheartedly as a former swim lesson instructor and lifeguard. And as you say, even the best swimmers shouldn’t swim alone.
The Emery tragedy was felt locally as he was loved in this area when he tended the goal for the B-Sens.

Bernier is a decent goalie. In a tandem with Jimmy he should be fine. Hopefully he doesn’t have another Nelson Mandela moment in an interview.

Less cap space than his old hit, but imho the NMC/NTC or lack thereof will make the call for many folks. We need his offense.

Just a random thought... he had some snarl early on but the suspension of 5 games for a preseason headshot may have been more of a setback than many think due to his perceived lack of mental toughness.

Been too long since I’ve been on. Huge ups for the Star Blazers mention, I was also a huge Robotech fan back in the day. DBZ was just from my kids watching.
obligatory topic return: Mantha is gonna be beastly once he puts everything together. Good start to this season for the most part, but is Blashill going to sour that relationship the way he did with AA?

I saw Puempel a few times when he played in Binghamton for the Baby Sens. He was pretty meh as a player, imho,, but was popular with the fan base, FWIW.

This start has been a pleasant surprise. I just watched the highlights, and he boys were looking pretty good. Hank is in beast mode, but we have more than 1 line of players clicking, which bodes well.

If he offers his "introductory stats course" again, can we at least sticky it for everyone's benefit?

Maybe their twitter post got the Zetterbeard just a wee bit fired up.

Not a bad theory, though the trailer puts it to doubts. I was saying to friends Luke had gone to the dark side before the first new film because he wasn't in any of the posters or promos. Looking forward to the new film though.

Coyle 's play was dirty. Too much butt hurt over clean hits. Make him pay with another PP goal.
-
You have momentum, put your skates on their throats and crush them. Do NOT let them back into this game.

Zetterberg! Fear the beard. Great diving play by Daley to stop the rush towards our zone not too much earlier.

Great 2nd. Stay strong and bring it home in the 4rd. About time they gave Jimmy some multi-goal run support. Has he looked his average self between the pipes tonight in the first half of the game? I got home at 10:30 if the 2nd.
Has Blashill finally lost the team?

Population has gone down with the downturn in on-ice excellence, but things should pick up once the season starts.
