    DeAngelo actually has the voice and face for TV. I could see him with a broadcasting career after Fabbri literally goes through him tonight and destroys his career. Also Brendan Smith is a football big brain?

    I can't say I don't feel a lil inadequate with my 9 when compared to a .45... But what seals the deal for me though is my 9 holds 15+1. That Colt is only gonna hold 7+1. And I'm carrying hollow-points anyway. So you better hope you get the job done with those 8 shots. I got a whole nother 8 before I'm spent.

    .45's are too big to carry everyday. I use this lil guy Also, 9mm pierces through car doors and .45 ACP doesn't. So if you're in an urban environment it makes sense to use 9mm

    You must either have really long dangly balls or a really smol pp
  9. In retrospect he probably should have been called up to fill the void at center. Wings never gave him that opportunity. He went on to score 9 pts in 12 games for Nashville that season. IDK, like I said, Jarnkrok went on to have 9 pts in 12 games for Nashville. Legwand went on to have 11 in 21 games for us. Would Jarnkrok have done the same for us on a callup? I can't say, but he did fall back to earth during his next season in Nash

    Oh Michael I'm so happy you're home. We kept your office just the way you left it. I hope you don't mind but I moved your torture rack for the players to the garage, but I can have Stephen bring it back up to your office for you if you like. There's a hot n ready warming in the oven in case you get hungry and Michael... we really missed you, I'm so happy to have all my boys back under one roof.

    Grade The Offseason 2019: Yzerman's Opening Moves

    Overall I give the offseason a C so far I think it's important first to distinguish what our off-season goals were. IMO that was sticking to the plan that Holland started: 1. Continue the rebuild/retool 2. Maintain depth and don't rush the kids 3. Begin putting Yzerman's stamp on the franchise If the goal was to become competitive and accelerate the rebuild then I think this offseason is clearly an F. However, based on Yzerman's moves and comments, I think that was clearly not the goal. FREE AGENTS: B - In: Filppula, Nemeth, Pickard, Kaski, Out: Vanek, Kronwall, Frk, Witkowski, Megan, Sulak, A. Holmstrom, J. Chelios, Sadowy, Sateri, Rybar, Fippula should be a slight upgrade over Vanek. His position at 2C will also allow AA to return to the wing where he is better suited. Nemeth is likely the replacement for Kronwall. He won't produce as many points as Kronwall, but he may very well be an upgrade defensively as Kronwall's old broken knees were slowing him way down. Pickard will replace Sateri and Rybar, and should provide a veteran presence in GR for our possible future starter in Larsson. Kaski is a wild card. He could simply be Sulak's replacement, or he could excel and make the team. The departure and lack of replacement for Frk, Witkowski, Megan, Holmstrom, Chelios, and Sadowy, should give more kids the opportunity to assume bigger roles, whether that's as depth players in Detroit or core players in GR. I do think we low-key added by subtraction a little here. With our goals in mind, these tweaks to the roster are not amazing, but got the job done. For that reason I give free agency a B - STAFF: B - In: Verbeek, C. Yzerman, Flemming Out: Ferschweiler, Wright, Finley, Merkosky, Henderson, Dickson Ferschweiler came to us as an assistant coach with Blashill. As a Blash-boy his departure might be a sign that Blash is going to be on the hot-seat for the next two years? Yzerman has not replaced Ferschweiler. Chris Yzerman will likely be head of pro scouting under director Mark Howe. Replacing pro scouts Merkosky and Henderson (who IMO have done a terrible job the last few years) As of now, it seems like Verbeek, Draper, and Stevie himself will take over Wright's duties as director of amateur scouting. So far I do not believe anyone has been named director of amateur scouting. Though I've seen it rumored that that position may be Draper's. So far the only replacement for amateur scouts Finley and Dickson have been Brendan Flemming, who comes to us as a now former assistant coach at Harvard University. I am very pleased that Yzerman has brought in and installed his two right hand men in Verbeek and his brother Chris. I'm also glad to see a few of our older scouts, who've been here a longggg time, move on. Our pro scouting has been terrible lately and even some drafts like the 2017 draft were suspiciously awful. I believe our now former amateur scout Jeff Finley is quoted as saying something like he first looks for "big" players, and then if they have some skills he's all in on them. Glad we are purging these kind of guys. I like what tweeks Yzerman has done with the staff, but he's hasn't made any real big splashes or shrewd moves, done much of anything with our coaching, and hasn't replaced a lot of scouts yet. For these reasons I give a B - DRAFT: ? With this it's too soon to tell. I'm a huge fan of Seider, but I don't think we can grade a draft till years after its passed. PERSONAL EXPECTATIONS: D + This will be the obviously most subjective part of my grade. This offseason has been BORING. I recognize that Yzerman stuck to the plan and asked the fans to be patient, but I'm still disappointed by the lack of moves and creativity so far. I would like to have seen some trades like casting off some bad contracts, or acquiring picks, or anything really. But a lot of this season feels like exactly like what Holland would have done. He's stood amazingly pat so far. I'm hoping when his front office is settled he'll begin to address other things more aggressively. But for right now I'm giving a D +

    Mantha might be done for the year - what now

    Me in 3-4 years: Dodge Challenger with aftermarket headers and parts that gets 11 miles to the gallon. Diesel powered minibike in the trunk for when I need to get out of my roadboat, cause f*** walking. You'll pull up next to me in your g-ay little battery car and see me buying more Exon and BP stocks on my phone instead of watching the road. Full rack of BBQ ribs on the seat next to me in case I need a snack. Your electric acceleration won't do you any good as I burn rubber and cover your windshield with thick black smoke as I blaze off into another American night. That's the dream

    I was in one of the Tesla SUVs like a month ago (not the cybertruck) and it was super dope. Way better than the Sedan if you ask me. My stance on them is as soon as 51% of the cars on the road are electric I'll consider getting one. Till then I' poopin on the environment. Hopefully the price on those things comes down in the next 3 - 4. IDK if you get like tax breaks for them up there in liberal Canada or whatever, but here they're like 80K

    I'm LOLing at this incredible misfortune Did you know down here in the civilized world we have cars that don't even need gasoline anymore? If your Conestoga wagon can survive the trek I'll sell you these things called microwaves and cell phones. You can take them back to your desolate islands and trade them for shells or fish or whatever.

    Blash really is great with kids though. When I was at the fan meet and greet during the preseason this fall my son started crying and Blash picked him up right out of my hands, unbuttoned his shirt, and started breast-feeding him right there on the spot. Great guy.
