Don't think Mammoth(pre cursor to elephant) is too close to the Saber tooth tiger(predators). Plus Predators could be the Predator from the movies. Utah's nickname is the beehive state. The state animal is Elk, state bird is the Gull lots of yuck there. Based on this article https://everydaywanderer.com/what-is-utah-famous-for Zamboni - The magical machine that turns scratched-up ice into a smooth skating surface was invented in Utah. Given the state’s affinity for winter sports, from ice hockey to figure skating, it’s no surprise that such an invention would come from a place where ice is a canvas for athletic artistry.

just read this which is kind interesting https://www.thehockeybeast.com/nhl/wayne-gretzky-shares-the-most-awesome-story-about-what-brad-marchand-did-last-summer-he-even-calls-it-one-of-the-great-stories-hes-ever-heard-in-hockey/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR18ACz-BjBui0JBc6XVyWvlXRX1NlFGkyMWmnItCcMCYmvY80ECwD2o6ko_aem_AZUDszEqwFw8yGYMU5MY3_ZR2JGiQyexJM50_Y1w6hpJhu8B080piOHboWuRQI5wKBQHC_fUFhw2IvSYPMktYVyD From the article if you don't want to read or can't read "One of the great stories I’ve ever heard in hockey, and there are so many good stories because there are so many great people in it,” Gretzky said. ”But I was told by a friend that he went to training camp last year with the rookies for five days and practiced with them to teach them how to be a pro and what it’s like to be a Boston Bruin.”

would this be a tad better if this were to happen Jake Walman – Moritz Seider Jakob Chychrun – Simon Edvinsson Albert Johansson – Ben Chiaro Petry

The suggested D from article Jake Walman – Moritz Seider Jakob Chychrun – Jeff Petry Simon Edvinsson – Ben Chiarot ouch

Who are our bowling balls?

I have to agree with you despite the pain in doing so(still smarting over my potential divorce with Kane) I think the Bruins have a very strong leader in Marchand who learned with Bergeron like we used to have here. I am guessing if you step out of line he isn't afraid to correct your course. Yzerguy for 20 years taught what it was to be a Wing. Who would dare not give full effort when you watched him play through injuries etc. You were corrected if you didn't do it the "Red Wing Way" to Nick for 6 years team still strong still same culture to Hank for 6 years team starting to tilt down and not a lot of young blood coming in to learn the "Red Wing Way" imports(FA) more than folks driving down 96 from GR. to Larkin for the last 4 years team in garbage can needing to relearn the way hence the Perons/Kanes etc to mentor Larkin and teach the young ones coming up Has Larkin become a Marchand kind of presence now? He has had a glimpse on what is needed can he force the team to comply? He seemed IMHO to grow this year. We also had Scotty and Babs who both didn't give AF about being your buddy call it old school. Versus Blash and Festers which seem to be wanting to be buddies new school.

Marchand is delivering He is drilling anything on the ice not a Bruin which is inspiring the team to do the same. He is doing the normal Marchand activities to throw you off your game Involved with Bert on the winning goal in which was borderline penalty time Dug in at end when he missed the open net. Came out with puck for the slam dunk on the empty net. If you were paying attention that very nice looking older lady behind on the glass was flipping him off. Thats when you KNOW you are under EVERYONE'S skin when old ladies are shooting ya the bird. I think Marchand is stealing Toronto's soul and they are doomed

I would be happy with this roster going into the playoffs...or worlds

We were at our best when we had Swedes and Russians dominating the roster

Ghost will walk and that will help relieve a bit of D logjam I think What could Fabbri get you ? I am curious why Holl never got more time. He didn't seem to be as bad as Leafs fans made him to be or maybe I am just being nice? Sprong will walk dude will get overpaid Perron and Fischer stay with reasonable contracts Stammer is a Bolt guy don't see him here be nice but don't see it Petry been fun see ya or keep and he is #7 D?

I will disagree just on the last 4 words. Could mean the work towards the playoffs doesn't stop and I want to be part of it. Could mean the work to get back to better shape to help move this Orig 6 back to glory doesn't stop. He won't make real decision till July 1 unless he and Stevie agree to terms that benefit both.

Bouncing between Rags vs Caps and Cats vs Bolts After seeing Bobs ridiculous save followed by Big Cats save on TaJerk I think we need waaaay better goal tending if we want to get past the 1st round down the road Let's hope Cossa is that and more

Thats the name that keeps coming up on tank along with Mich. Brandsegg-Nugard

I think the quicker we get Mo and RayRay PAYDAY$ done it gives a clearer picture on what we have in the wallet. At year end they both said they want to be here so thats a positive. I am good with Ghost/Sprong walking. I am thinking Simon runs 2nd unit PP and Mo 1st. Goaltending is bit trickier perhaps Mr Y is hedging his bet to see how things go with a playoff run in GR? Lyon/Cossa and split them? Not sure what you do with Husso as you wouldn't go 3 deep with Cossa sitting in the 3rd spot as that wouldn't make sense and buying Husso out makes no sense. Going to be interesting to see how things play out. Am I reading this https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/redwings correctly? We have 4 million in dead cap ?

Watching this and thinking we would have gotten drilled.
