sweep the leg

Is he really playing at a discount price? Who offered him more? BC certainly wasn't willing to pay what we did.

Ngannou is the only one of the three you mentioned that I think he has a chance against. The other two guys can wrestle and are still very good strikers. Ngannou has the most power of the three, but is also the least technical and can't wrestle.

This is true. First couple seasons I could sell my season tickets at walk-up price. That doesn't fly anymore.

It would have to be a pretty crazy salary for it to blow up the nucleus of the team.

Gretzky was at 41 goals in game 37 the year he got 50 goals in 39 games. It's too bad we don't have that level of scoring in today's game. I think most of the scoring records are out of reach, unless something drastic happens in the game.

Serious question; have you seen any articles that called this trip a success? Anything I've seen has called the trip a disaster. Trudeau made me think of Michael in Arrested Development when he posed for pictures using the namaste hand gesture.

On a positive note, the first pp unit looks scary good. I also liked how physical Chiarot played. Imo that's what he needs to do to be effective when he's in the lineup.

Agreed on the top two lines. Scheifele's line was brutal on the shift that gave up the winning goal. Felt bad for Roslovic on the Preds 4th (I think) goal. He was in good position, but looked back to see where the dman was at the exact same time the pass was made to the guy in front of him.

Those guys have probably played better than Murray has this year.

I'm sure Vanek and Torts will become best friends...

Two weeks ago you were going to set up a kickstarter and advocating for us taking a cap penalty to make sure we got him. Now he's not worth buying dinner for?

I was at the Moose game today. Niku plays a very composed game. Very smooth out there, like an AHL version of Erik karlsson. Even has the nice flow like him...

Last year's fa class was really weak, which is how a guy like Mason can be considered near the top for his position. I'm assuming we were also the only team willing to pay him starter money. Kulikov was nowhere near the most wanted fa dman. I should point out though, again, that I called his resurgence and us signing him...

Only if they don't come to camp, I think. If we release him, he has to be neg listed. I may be speaking from my buttocks, but it sounds right...

Isn't Lamar Jackson, on Lions' neg list, a potential top 10 pick this year?

From what I remember we can neg list draft picks that go back to school after they're released.

Should have gotten it in orange to match his upcoming prison wardrobe.

If Muamba isn't the end game, there's no reason Okpo has to go b/c of this signing.

Why do you think that? Baines tore it up in college. Reaves was a basketball player trying to learn how to play football.

I'd love to see him here, but I think Muamba ends up in TO.

Don't know why Muamba would even consider it. He'd get picked up by somebody else immediately if the Riders cut him.

Probably would have grabbed a fa, but I bet it would have been one of the more inexpensive guys still waiting for a contract right now.

Any line with Crosby isn't a 4th line. Last game he was skating with Zach Aston-Reese & Bryan Rust and he still had three points. He makes players around him better. Laine certainly isn't at that level yet.

Wheeler and Scheif are both better than Laine right now. I'm not sure how anybody could disagree with that.
