How else does a “no name” team become a team with a name, but having playoff success?
-
We can now shower, drink moonshine or blueberry shakes, whatever our preferred method of cleansing is and collectively forget we supported Boston. Blue Jackets, you have my allegiance.
-
There is one reason above all others to root against the Leafs, and that is, they have more Cups than Detroit. Sports is about who finishes with the most, so until we have more championships than Toronto, they remain our enemy.
-
I abandoned my thoughts too abruptly. Should Holland stay with the organization, they are then just adding additional experience and gray matter to the group. I think that is reason for measured confidence and optimism.
-
I wish the alternate universe where Holland remains the GM was accessible so we could compare his selections to Yzerman’s, but I’m left now to speculate madly about the disparity in quality.
-
Though unintelligible as it was, you can be certain his chirping carried more wit and timing than Hedman’s embarrassing remark.

In strictly isolated factoring, yes, but given applied variables accounting for the metrics that determine contingency for taxation itself, that conclusion is not always true. This explains the Keynesian/Hayekian polarization burdening our politics today. -
4/9 2019 Draft Lottery GDT - Red Wings vs The World - 8:00 PM ET (NBCSN)
Mckinley25 replied to Dabura's topic in General
What is the argument against a simple system where the order of picks are determined by standings and repeat top 3 or five selections (or whichever seems most appropriate) are forbidden? I can appreciate the efforts for parity, but true parity would be every team winning once across a 31 year cycle. The more an outcome is controlled the more likely it will converge with knowledge of the outcome. The individual and collective profit incentives appear at odds. -

I need to become an NHL analyst, I’ll only ask for 10% if their budget. -
Gustav Nyquist traded to Sharks for 2019 Second Round pick and 2020 3rd round conditional pick.

Seven figures apparently is still an insufficient amount to retain a healthy supply of character and humility. -
I don’t believe it would tarnish his legacy at all to be traded, but he is the caliber of player that you give what he asks of you. Unless he asks for another contract.

If the season ended today it would be the 40th overall pick. -

NHL.com reports the same information. It is listed as Florida’s 2nd rounder. -
Why is it more likely that Holland jumped at the first underwhelming offer, than Holland, knowing what was on the table and knowing where Nyquist was willing to go, made the trade with the best return available?
-
If you can’t be bothered to consult the evidence, on what grounds then do you occupy a position?

That is a really good song!!! -
2/12 Road to Predation / Red Pred Redemption GDT - Red Wings @ Predators - 8:00 PM ET

You don’t think Larkin will reach 30 this year? -
Is mediocre not the expectation for rounds 2-4? I would think if you land an NHL regular in those rounds it was successful. If you get a Nyquist it was above expectations.

2/2 Common Sens GDT - Red Wings @ Senators - 7:00 PM ET

We may for the sake of our libidos, endure a Twilight film, or Titanic, but no Leaf fans correct? We have our standards still even if we left our dignity at the cinema. -

I prefer Paine to Austen. -
I thought it was Robert Lang.
-
There are eight teams below the Wings in the standings, but only three points across that spread. Chicago is the only team with more games played than Detroit. The standings could look very different come the first of January.

12/27 Endurance GDT - Red Wings @ Penguins - 7:00 PM ET
Mckinley25 replied to Dabura's topic in General
I hope Nyquist isn’t traded. He’s fun to watch and his only weakness is disappearing in the playoffs which is irrelevant now. -

Great work by Ras to keep the puck moving even after he was knocked down. The character we drafted him for is paying dividends. -
12/22 Caturday Catinee GDT - Panthers @ Red Wings - 2:00 PM ET

I appreciate it, I don’t often have time to watch games but I always follow the GDTs for the updates and of course, second to none commentary.
