Mantha, Larkin, and athanasiou...Larkin's the smallest one, and he's already 6'1 and close to 200 pounds. And mantha is the slowest one, but hes not slow, once he gets going... If he works on his first couple steps, he could be a really good skater.

Size&stupid speed.Mmmhmmm

Haha. 59 minutes/per game or its not even close... But I agree. The kids don't seem as skilled or as driven, or anywhere near as impactful as hank and pav were when they first got here. Mostly pav, the first time I saw him play I thought he'd be the best player in the NHL. I was on the glass in 02' and he skated up the wing pulled the puck between his legs and made both defenseman and the center look like they didn't belong in the league... Maybe I'm just over romanticizing the past, but the only one I have any feeling of possible greatness.. But I could see with Nyquist if he suddenly becomes a center scoring 28+goals, which isn't out of the question. Z did it, but he just has that drive to want to be the best that I haven't really seen yet from Nyquist.

Scottie bauxman. So what about next generation players, does anyone think any of them have a chance? Nyquist/Tatar/danny d Kronwall would have to get better as he aged, and unless we find an elite partner for him real quick that's probably not gonna happen.

Duncan Keith's already 31. I kind of want him to just fall off all of the sudden. That'd be great.

I know this is tongue in cheek.But if we keep winning, we should probably try to start this. Like it can be the most ragtag parade ever, and just have signs that say poty, so no one will know what the hell were celebrating. It could be a thing.

Is flower power really what you want as kh's nickname? Really? PS. Matt Cooke hit the waiver wire... The waiver wire is now out with a lower body injury, MRI forthcoming.

That was kind of my thought process on it. The joke----> (That's your face, the joke landed there.)

Ha. Got destroyed the first three games, then came back and rectum.(I barely knew em) I think those two teams were so deep, it doesn't matter how you decide it, its kind of common sense at this point.

And look where that got him.

I liked this, then disliked it, just so I could like it again.

I heard if you say Scotty Bowman's name three times in the mirror of any hockey rink, And have a few million dollars laying around, hell come and win you a championship.

Yeah, but imagine him diving and choking all over pulkinnens stick...That sounded bad, But him feeding pulks would be nice. It'd take too much for someone his age though.

Because if they don't take back Weiss they'd have to eat a bunch of salary...And Weiss a a ntc that I doubt he'd waive to play for someone who used him so sparingly. That's my take on it anyway...

ROFL.I know you're joking, but the sun glasses he was wearing may have been blue blockers. I remember getting guff from you for saying people like him are the reason Canadians are stereotyped as being fifteen years behind american trends. Ha. I laughed hysterically hard at him. It was like he belonged in a night at the Roxbury.

I dont understand this post.You Call out kips "anti-Babcock bias" but in the end you more or less agree with his point. And as much as I like babs, you have to admit, he became very overrated, very fast.

We can't really afford to lose jimmy right now, if Mrazek gets hurt or stumbles we don't really have anyone to take over for him. We could always sign someone in free agency, but even then, who knows how Mcdavid is going to affect them next year. If he comes in and tears it up, and they're still in the thick of things around the deadline, Jimmy becomes a decent option for them, but trading for a goalie his age would do nothing but hurt them if it looks like they'll be in the rebuild for another five-ten years.

My thoughts are. Good call.

Phaneuf, in his car, wearing a silver club shirt blasting 90s techno...

I can't see Weiss waving his ntc to go and sit next to Babcock.

I just have that feeling that any guy we bring in to put up points from the back end is going to disappoint here.

For what they're probably going to get, yes.And you're one of the only people I've ever heard call oduya a bottom pairing d.

Ha. Thanks smart ass.So Holland will have one year left on his contract, so hell have to step down, accept the president of hockey ops job. Hire yzerman. then tell bowman to come and work with his old captain. Then we win a cup.

He's an amazing player, but that was really, really sh**ty...

How long is yzerman signed for in Tampa, and how does that match up with ken Hollands extension? Maybe Holland will be ready to move up to president of operations and well get yzerman to be gm?
