Nice liil passing play by Z and Mantha right there

K I'm here. Beer in hand. The comeback begins now.

Gotta go to the corner store to get a 40 or somethin, be back for the 3rd in 10

It's pretty good. Worth a try.

Caucasian. Something baltic. Facial structure looked Latvian. But her perfume said Estonian. Oh you meant the beef. Ribeye with heavy marbling, cooked rare as god intended. Jefferson's ocean aged

Maybe we should be alternating nights or something Only a couple messages from after the game ended it looks like. Sad I missed another rare win though! Couple of good friends wanted to go out with me tonight. They're not Wings fans, but still solid bros. Great night. Hit the town early for steaks and whiskey. Afterwards we go to the martini bar. Run into a group of classy chicks who were lookin fine and lookin to party. So we tie a few on with theses girls and everyones laughing and joking. Hitting it off. I can tell the cutest one, the blond one, is mirin' me too and laughing at all my jokes. As I open my phone to put in her address for our uber back to her place, I notice the alert from my red wings app: "11 minutes ago: Game Ended" so I checked the box score quick, saw the stats, and sure enough... so I proceeded to call the uber, then kissed m'lady on the cheek and excused myself to the bathroom. Instead of going to the bathroom though, I went out the back door, and caught the uber that I had actually called to take me home. As soon I got home I sat down at my pc to post this image from tonights stats: Told ya losers. Kids no good.

Exactly. He's gonna need to be an incredibly creative and high IQ player to live up to his draft pedigree. I'll tell you when I see it.

Not Taylor Hall things:

I've always heaped praise on him for this. He skates and back checks hard, never questioned his effort... he just doesn't always seem to know where to go... but that has improved a bit now, it's true. When he does find himself in the correct defensive position, his ability to steal the puck with his stick is actually really good, and that ability goes over-looked a lot I think. He just needs to put himself in situations to use that ability much more often. So nice try, but my opinions go unchanged. Next.

1. Disney pays little heed to canon. If it's not in the movies/shows, it's fair game for them. Regardless, here is the one appearance Sifo-Dyas has ever actually made. From the animated series The Clone Wars: Not only do they appear similar (white haired white guy) they have a noticeably similar accent and raspy voice. 2. I'd make the same argument as before. Get ready for them to break with canon. Even I didn't know this about clones, and I consider myself fairly well versed in the star wars universe. The general public won't even notice or care. And they could easily just insert "Kaminos developed new technology X that allows them to clone and extract midochlorians". Wouldn't be hard. 3. Ok, this could be true, maybe that species is just a rare and force powerful one, and Sifo-Dyas wants one for his own designs. Rest of the theory remains true. Could even be Yoda's offspring or something... 4. Star Wars is cool man

I'll give credit where credit is due. His passing ability and awareness looks improved. He doesn't look as lost as he once did. There's still nothing WOW about his game. No dynamic IT factor. And for a sniper I do expect goals and sniping. We really have yet to see that supposed great skill he has on display. Enjoy your moments in the sun. @mackel and I will be patient. Biding our time. Growing stronger. Watching. Waiting...

Are trolling me by doing exactly what the meme said you would do? I don't think he's been "really good" by any standard. There's been absolutely zero exciting elements to his game since he's been up. Got himself a few points playing with Fabbri, that's good, I like to see that. But I'm still hardly impressed by anything he does. That's Hudler out there.

Both. GDT is for HYPE posting Discord is for making fun of those in the GDT HYPE posting

C:\Program Files (x86)\Zadina\Good.trustme.exe Anytime one Zagina-posts you are inevitably met with this same cookie-cutter hollow reaction: "I don't understand this" "But his age" Followed by the evidence coping mechanisms: "His shot thou" "Showing signs" "More right than wrong" "Gaining confidence" "Look at last game (1 game)" No substance. No real examination. Just: "Trust me, Zadina man good" And in response, no matter how much I deep dive into Zadina's play and dissect his game, the argument always follows this trajectory: So forgive me if I don't write another long wall of text on the subject. I know I'm not gonna get any critical analysis in return. Those who have been in the Matrix for too long can't be brought back to the real world, and I understand and accept that now. It's all just so tiresome.

Believe Colorado is still the front runner thou

Now that the corner has been turned, the playoff hunt begins tonight HYPE

Since this thread is already derailed, and we've been discussing the Mandalorian here, and no one has clicked on the water cooler in years, I wanted to post this fan theory about the show. I think it could end up being a very accurate theory very soon. WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILERS TLDR: Werner Herzog's character "The Client" is actually long lost jedi Sifo-Dyas, and Baby Yoda is a clone of Jedi Master Yoda. Back story on Sifo-Dyas for you casuals: The character Sifo-Dyas is never actually seen in the movies, but he is discussed. When Obi-Wan visits the cloners on the planet Kamino in the prequels and discovers that their has been a clone army commissioned for The Republic (to no one's knowledge), he is told that Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas commissioned the army. However, to no knowledge of the cloners, Sifo-Dyas had commissioned this army under false pretenses, because Dyas had abandoned the Jedi council just like Count Dooku had years prior. It is reasonable to assume that Dyas had become a Sith in the employ of Darth Sidious, just like Dooku, because it fit right into Sidious's grand plan to raise a Republican army and use it to usurp the Jedi and the Republic. We've just never seen Dyas on screen, but he's been there serving the Empire behind the scenes, and he has survived the fall of the Empire as well. One blatant but overlooked clue to this: Dr. Pershing, the doctor accompanying the client (Sifo-Dyas) in the Mandalorian, literally had a Kamino Clone emblem on his uniform. Dyas would be a powerful Imperial with obvious ties to the Kamino clones and cloners just like this. Why do they want this baby Yoda so bad? Because IT IS Yoda. A clone of Yoda to be a exact. After all we know baby Yoda is force sensitive just like real Yoda. Sifo-Dyas would have had close access to Yoda to obtain his DNA and could have accomplished making a clone with his connections. But lost control of the clone when the Empire fell. Why does Sifo-Dyas need a Yoda clone? The most logical would be to bring back Darth Sidious. We all know Darth Sidious is back somehow in the movie coming out next week. It's painfully obvious in the last movie and in the trailers. They likely want to extract Yoda clones mitochlorians to use to bring Darth Sidious back to full power. And the time line makes sense. Disney has been hiding the true plot of the Mandalorian from us and just sending us on side quests. When you go see the movie next week this whole theory will all be reveled and the Manadalorian as basically a masterful set up story and lead in for the finale movie in this trilogy. BTW this last episode of the Manalorian was BY FAR the best so far. I thought. Bill Burr pulled it off too!

I imagine right now you feel a bit like the Wings, tumbling down the standings? I can read it in your posts. You have the posts of man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth... Do you believe in busts LGW? "No" Why not? "Because I don't like the idea that the Red Wings don't know what they're doing" I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it since the 2018 draft. That there's something wrong with Zadina. You don't know what it is. But it's there. Like a splinter in your mind. Driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me... Do you want to know what it is? Zadina busting is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very thread. You can see it when you look up from your phone, or when you turn on your computer. You can feel it when you click on the GDT. When you post lines. When you press the like button. The world has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Unfortunately no one can be told what Zadina busting looks like. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake up back in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in wonderland. And I show you how badly Zadina is going to bust... Remember. All I'm offering is the truth... nothing more.

Apply my point about the #10 pick to your point about Dahlin and Hughes then. I simply am pointing out that I'm not under any illusion that say the #7 or #10 may ACTUALLY be the best player in the draft. But if we knew that going into the draft then they wouldn't be the #7 or #10 pick! Drafting is gambling. I'm going to put my chips on the trick with the highest chance. Doesn't mean it will be the best hand at the table (we can't know for certain) but logic commands I should do it anyway. I'm not the prospect guru some ppl are, but this Lafren kid has been hyped for a long time. KR knowing about him since 14 doesn't surprise me at all. He's been hyped as future #1 for a while and keeps proving that's accurate. Byfield's season could be a one off for all I know. I definitely hyped him as the best Dman prospect in a long time. Don't think I was ever on the Ekblad train or anything. And I do prefer him much more than Hughes if you''re wondering. I think he's the #1 Dman in his age group. I prefer him to Makar even. Is Dahlin having a bad season??

B A S E D and zagina-pilled Thank you. Bring me back down to earth. Been riding the high of that much needed win and it's clouding my judgement.

It's a good point. They do this EVERYYYYYYYYY year. "Could the #2 actual be the #1????" But the majority of the time the consensus #1 does go #1... It''s as much a typical media narrative as hyping the consensus #1 is. Granted I DO think the race between Kakko and Hughes was closer last year than it is this year with Lafren and Byfield.

I still take Dahlin #1 everytime. Completely beside the point, I actually love the way he's playing this year. I dunno if I agree with your logic fully. And I think the argument you're making would better used with the conclusion that completely tanking isn't all that valuable of a strategy. Because of the lottery, and because guys at 2-3 spot often become very good or just as good, and because you could potentially find a Pettersson, or Pastranak, or Larkin, even farther the down the chart, you should still throw your weight into each and every season and not actually TRY to bottom out for the #1. That TRYING to tank could end up hurting you more than it helps after all things are considered. I don't necessarily think one should draft Lafren #1 because he will one day be far and away better than the rest of the draft class. One takes him because he's the safest pick. Draft is crap shoot, but this kid is probably the biggest lock to be a future NHLer. The farther you creep down the chart the more questions arise. Maybe Byfield will one day emerge as the best player in class, or maybe it's gonna be the guy taken @ #10. Either way, at the current time, I have more trust that Lafren will make the league and provide me good value than the #10 will. I think you can lump in more than just age, league, genetics, position, I think you can extend that to personality, habits, education, family history of drug/alcohol abuse, and on and on and on and on. My point being, there are so many different factors that could contribute to this persons rise or downfall that it's almost dumb to look. Almost. Drafting is gambling. For all I know Seider (my fav blue chip) develops a drug problem over the next few years and completely washes out, and Zadina (my least fav blue chip) matures into a hockey/gym freak like a Jagr. Lafren definitely feels like the safest pick to me @ #1, with Byfiield behind. After that it's a total crap shoot to me. Maybe Yzerman has a guy he really likes for various reasons not named Byfield or Lafren that he wants to take at #1. In that case I'll defer to to the expert, but from my POV right now Lafren is the best choice.

That old bassturd Kenny is up to something. I can smell it. Milstein represents a lot of good Russian players including Datsyuk List of Milsteins players

I've been seeing gifs of Lafrens moves since he was like 16 Byfield is nice and all, but it's Lafren time, and any argument otherwise is objectively wrong Before anyone says anything HOW COULD IT HURT US? IT COULDNT
