I seen all the 3v3 games. Dson away from losing several pucks, didn’t look like a 9th pick imo. He went after the loses hard, and I believe scored a couple. But I contributed it to nerves. I want to see him after several other games to voice hard option. I felt Augustine, James, Lombardi, and new Pellikka all looked the best. 

Well - Cat will be 29 and a UFA so he’ll have another opportunity to cash in.
Glad to have him on the Wings.

I watched all those 3v3 games. Augustine looked real sharp for 18. James and Kasper also. Pilikka(spelling) shows he can for sure can take charge.  I don’t recall, but he had a few assists. 

...and people wonder why so many have left this site

and this is new?

And to think I thought you had some good points. You are to deceitful for my liking. 

In the last 30 years three rookie defensemen have scored 50 points. Hughes, Makar and Seider.

I think this list has a pretty strong correlation to the most valuable player in the league list.  Mo coming in top 10 speaks volumes.  What an awesome draft pick.

The defense - everyone outside of Seider is utter garbage. They cannot handle a strong forecheck at all and routinely give up defensive zone turnovers. It's like they have no idea how to break the puck out of the zone once they obtain it. This leads to us getting hemmed in to our own zone for too much of the game. You'd think Blash would have a solution or change or remedy for this by now, he's been dealing with this same problem for 7 seasons. But it's just business as usual. When Babcock started losing D men and his blue line got weaker there was instantaneous action and change. He buttoned down the hatches everywhere and started playing the entire team in a more defensively oriented scheme to compensate for his crippled blue line. Fans griped about these changes and boring hockey, but it was probably exactly the right move given his circumstances. I have never seen any innovation like this from Blash for better or worse. He's just not a tactician in even the slightest regard. Like bro - you gotta try something new. Play trap hockey. Clog up the neutral zone. Do something.
I'd be knocking down Yzermans door to get somebody anybody off the waiver wire to help the defense. Give Oesterle a serious stint in the top4. Try Juolevi. Call up Sebrango. Just do. Leddy, Staal, DK are trash.
The goalies - thank God Blash had the brains to start Greiss last night. He's running a young goalie into the ground in Ned. It's beyond obvious but it took him 2 weeks plus to notice.
The forwards - dump and chase not working. How about drop passing? Drop passing not working. How about dump and chase? PP been a mess for years. What players has he developed in the last 7 years? Bertuzzi, the ultra confident individualist who marches to his own drum and could probably will himself to success anywhere? Raymond, the super high pick that was instantly an impact player? Svech, the dissapointment? Ras, the dissapointment? Zadina the dissapointment? Veleno, the dissapointment? AA, the dissapointment? Mantha, the dissapointment? 
Don't fire this guy tomorrow. Fire him now. 

True or not? If its true, its not a "s****y point".

It's not a left vs right thing. Trump and Biden both push the vaccine.
I've been preaching that you cannot have immunity from Covid (can't vax it away) for pages on here. I was saying this when the POTUS was still saying you would get immunity AND it would stop spread lol. Funny how the narratives shift.
If it does not give immunity or stop spread, then you simply have a flu booster that everyone will need to take till the end of time. If you want to take these boosters till the end of time great but folks who are not interested in this or worried about becoming sick (like myself) should have zero restrictions. Restrictions that try to compel them too jab. Just like with the flu vaccine.
 

Eventually kip will have had sex with EVERYONE here and then there'll be nothing left for us to do and Matt can finally shut this place down for good.

You're a liberal who lives in D.C.  You're good at screwing people I'm sure, but you're not working any man over.  

What names?  CNN fanboy.  Oh please.  Your "ample research" quote says it all.  Education my ass.  

1. Of course they did. Every host country does this.
2. Gun bans/restrictions don't stop bad guys from having guns and using them. Boycotting the Olympics will not change how China operates.
Gun bans/restrictions punish law abiding gun owners. Boycotting the Olympics punishes the athletes. 
Neither hurts the party its intended to and both punish innocent people.

Last we left off in mid NOV 2 coaches had covid and 40% of the leagues players were on track to have covid. And you needed x2 shots.
Since then:
the amount of coaches sidelined has skyrocketed the amount of players has skyrocketed Bertuzzi has had it and quickly fully recovered multiple games are being canceled due to infections Now they're recommending x4 shots lol.
It's almost like I wasn't blowing smoke up your ass all summer. Lets do it again shall we: You cannot vaccinate away an aerosol virus with animal reservoirs, healthy individuals have nothing to fear from covid or its variants, and your dumbass fear mongering is making a lot of pharma drug lords and their politicians rich.
The pharma companies still have no liability on their woefully untested experimental vaccine that doesn't work. Multiple 1st world countries have removed or restricted vaccines due to side effects. Yet the pharma companies don't have to release the results of their studied side effect testing for another 50 years lol but please get ANOTHER shot.
Ironically I'd say follow the science... because the science said from the beginning and continues to say this plan of action won't work. But to most of the vax tards follow the science means do what the TV man says.
At what point will you admit you've been had? Year 3? Year 5? Year 10? Dose x4? Dose x10? Dose x17? Until there are groundbreaking novel medical breakthroughs that cure the common cold for good, covid will last forever! and spread! in some variant or another. Here's the good news! You're survival rate is well over 99%, granted you aren't stupidly obese, have cancer, or are super old!
Everyone needs to go back to life as normal. Countries like Sweden have proven that masks and the plethora of other BS do nothing. You're just restricting your own life and feeding the machine with every booster.
Report me.

Kane could be a big help.

Yes, there will always be idiots.

Well to be fair, we can say this about ANYONE that’s not working out. 

Dont misunderstand. I am not anti-vax at all. I just don't like being told to "listen to science" and then treating people who have acquired immunity thru infection differently. It makes no sense. Science says vax or infection leads to immunity. That is what should be followed. A recovered CoVid 19 patient is not any more or any less likely to be reinfected or spread the illness than a vaccinated person. And they are just as protected from it as a vaccinated patient. That is what science says, but not policy. And that hypocrisy creates a distrust of the vaccine, which is harmful.

I'm 30 and not a professional athlete. I'm 157-162lbs at 5'8", so just UNDER "overweight". Best shape of my life. Lost 35lbs since January (was diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia, and said F that). 
Just had sinusplasty on 11/8. COVID on 11/11. Between the surgery recovery and the 'VID, the last four weeks have SUCKED. I still have massive congestion, loss of smell, and brain fog. Missed out on Thanksgiving. 
But I don't regret not getting vaccinated. Because if we knew that it was safe long-term, Pfizer and the others wouldn't still have immunity from lawsuits.
That just makes me feel uneasy, like they aren't actually 100% sure there won't be issues 10 years from now. And how could they??? There aren't 10-year longitudinal studies yet.
How many of these athletes got it only because they were essentially coerced? "Get it or you have to do all these extra steps and can't go to Canada."
The vaccine stops you from having severe symptoms... but so does being a professional athlete, with access to the best medicine money can buy, and being in elite physical shape.
Maybe an offensive or defensive lineman in the NFL is high risk, but I seriously don't understand the outrage towards athletes who don't want to get vaccinated. These guys have less risk than anyone.
And like Bertuzzi, I also got COVID from someone who was vaccinated. Someone who was adamant they couldn't possibly be sick with covid because they're vaccinated. Must be allergies. Then we were both ill with it.
 
Just dumb. Let people make their choices for their health. Not just physical, but mental health too. 

f*** OFF STEVEN.
This has literally killed what little enthusiasm I had for the off-season, the draft, FA, etc.
That douchbag better not ruin Seider.

i'm not sure what brings me more joy.... Raymond with his first career hattrick already, or chicago starting out 0-6 and getting heavily outscored
 

Down go the Hawks and Raymond with a hatty!  Nice game!
