Semin. Because our kids aren't salty enough.

Yeahhh. I know. It was more of a tongue in cheek thing to go along with all the people talking about why they don't want ------ to wear ------'s number.

Brian McGrattan once beat all the halo games on legendary using a broken guitar hero controller.

The wings have 7 numbers retired, with no one wearing 16 that's 8, the league retired #99, that's 10% of the possible numbers out of circulation. Is there a contingency plan for when all single and double digit numbers have been retired?

Brian McGrattan punches so hard he can make your blood bleed.

Brian McGrattan can speak french. In Russian.

I'm sorry?

If it was Brian McGrattan would've already won.

This thread had most of its responses from ba while back, another threads got derailed by Brian McGrattan jokes, so a new threads was opened for him.Its not a competition.

Every time someone spells Brian McGrattans name wrong, he rips an angels wings off. If there isn't an angel within his massive reach, he rips the wings off of birds... Brian McGrattan has 0 sets of bird wings, because his wing span is so long he's never out of striking distance to an angel.

Its not trolling when there's a valid argument for it... He's just ahead of the curve, the rest of us won't hate on them for about half a year into their first full NHL season. He's got the jump on us.

The skills to kill! themselves early because of the high volume of hits to the head they take.

You have to wonder if they went out and signed these goons because lucic is in their conference now.In which case, well see the dinosaurs in a few games against l.a.

I'm not freaking out, I'm discussing the guy.Which is the point of having a thread on him, no? And I don't really see anyone freaking out, there's some people being hyperbolic about him, and others being judgemental probably just because he's coming from the pens, but I don't see anyone freaking out. And you can't for sure say they're coincidences, I mean that's probably part of it, but when the wings were dropping like flies the training staff and strength&conditioning guys were the ones we all started asking about on here, and started talking about who all goes to Gary Roberts to train, etc... So its got to be partially on him, as that's part if his job description.

Its gotta be some combination of those three. Ha.

I was thinking more so about bodily injuries...Like Before letangs stroke he was out for a while because of His groin, his leg another time. Malkins out 3 separate times for a lower body injury, his knee the year before that. Downie, Goc, bortuzzo, ehroff, Bennet all missed decent amounts of time the last few years because of lower and upper body injuries that kept recurring. And the last time i remember sid was out it was for his wrist, iirc. I'm not going back to the concussions he kept getting, or any random virus/illness, just actual body injuries. I'm not saying the guys going to cause more injuries for us or that he's going to be bad here, I'm just saying I don't know anything good about him, and going off his product that's been on the ice the last few years he doesn't seem like he'd be a logical hire, or the best guy we could get for the job. And the penguins weren't the only team hit by mumps, wasn't there like 15 teams last year that had players with it? Nj had like half of their roster out with it at one point, Minny had a handful...

What?!? Strength and conditioning is definitely a factor for injuries, one could argue that its the most important one... And the management may be completely different, but I highly doubt the doctors/training staff/s&c coaches for the wings do something wildly different from that of the pens. Especially when talking about The quality of care, that isn't going to vary wildly from team to team...

No. Team doctors would be... But imagine our aging stars, already prone to injuries with a strength and conditioning team getting their bodies "ready" for the grind of the season. Like he has done with the penguins. one of the younger super star laden teams, and under him, they're **#1 in man games lost to injury. ** I'm not 100% sure they're #1 anymore, but they've consistently been amongst the leaders in man games lost in the last few years. Not a comforting thought.

Ha. If babs was still here, and Green did still sign with us he'd end up a $6,000,000 healthy scratch.

I thought That was the joke, that People Are just continuously taking seriously. Its kip. He's just being sarcastic saying all our prospects suck. The same way everyone rips on the scapegoats in Detroit... You pick out What you think his biggest flaw is and extrapolate it into something so ridiculously skewed that every time something bad happens its their fault. We love Our prospects unconditionally, then they become nhl regulars and we all turn on them, beg For them to be traded or waived, and then turn on Holland for not Trading them away for 6th&7th round picks. And the narrative after he keeps them instead of moving them for stale peanuts Is that Ken Holland is horrible at managing our assets. I could be wrong, but what seems more plausible, kip being a smart ass:, or him genuinely thinking all our prospects are garbage. it seems obvious when its laid out that way, right?

But he wasnt in the open market. Obviously if he was a ufa He would've gotten more, but he was an rfa an He signed A bridge deal that buys two ufa Years, with the two remaining rfa years. He didn't really leave money on the table, hell be making 5million/yr In his ufa years. That's about Market value for what he's done so far. His playoff performances also changes the Money, had he been scoring at the same Rate in there playoffs as he had during the regular season, he would've gotten more... He still has quite a bit to prove before he hits ufa.

If we could get rid Of two of Kindle q, or smith, then I'd absolutely go After Oduya, but I dont see that happening.Plus there's rumors that oduya turned down a substantial offer from buffalo or Edmonton(I can't recall which one it was ATM, but I'll look it up Later) so I doubt our better chances of competing for the cup, makes Him wanna come here. He'll probably end up waiting until training camps about to start, and if Chicago has made any moves to clear enough space to give him 1-3mill just for the year so he can try to go For the back to back cup Wins.

That just means that he'll make the same amount of Money whether he's playing in the nhl or ahl.One way deals don't mean you can only play in the nhl, they can still waived and if no one Claims him, then he'l be able to be assigned to the ahl. I haven't seen or Looked for how Money Scotts deal Is for, but I can guarantee if/when he gets sent down thereally won't be very much money if any at all Remaining on arizonas cap...

That would be amazing, but he has had quite a few injuries and concussions, so he may have already went through his peak because Of the wear and tear on his body over the years...He was the number one d man for Washington for a while back in the day, maybe him being back in the top four will reignite something in him. With danny dekeyser there to cover up for Him on the defensive side of things, he's in there right position to do so. I'm kind of worried we end up not using him right, or not playing him enough to get into the flow of the games.

I wanna see multiple 30 goal scorers, and I want at least one of our defenseman. I want Green to do it to shut up all the people who say he isn't even all that good offensively anymore.The people like that are the same ones who continuously tall trash aabout every thing the wings make. jealous bastards
