    now he's reunited with Moose and Enzo

     

    Fraiser was some QUALITY entertainment back in the day & a ritual sitcom in my household.  Martin Crane was probably the most likeable / relatable character in the show.  RIP.

    Bah!  A fave from "old tv"....now a fave from "newer TV".

    Reg was so solid as Mayor Carcetti's right hand man on The Wire and in House of Cards, too.  I got crazy craving's for ribs everytime his character was on.  RIP.

    MacKinnon and mediocre don't belong in the same sentence. He's been one of the bright spots on a pretty lousy team since he was drafted.

    Different strokes for different folks.  He's a great player, don't get me wrong.   

    But I do think it's fair to ask if production has always matched skill level.   His best year statistically was his first.  Avs also won the division that year.  Since then, you're right, pretty lousy Avs team.  And in turn, just an "okay" Nathan MacKinnon??  A "pretty good" Nathan MacKinnon.  A mediocore Nathan MacKinnon?   

    At 20 G & 50 pts per season, given his talent, I don't think mediocre is that egregious.   It's just naturally high expectations for a 1st overall.   How would he describe his last few season's, leaving aside the team's play? 

    I've watched the Avs downfall pretty closely, being a diehard fan before the Jets returned and all...

    Same.  Im not a big gamble so I would play some slots mostly to unwind at night or if we were walking through a large casino to get somewhere else and felt like sitting down for a drink, we'd play some slots.  But when I go its not for casinos.  Tons to do in Vegas and surrounding area.

    Good to hear.  I arrive in LV for the first time in 48 hrs.  Think it'll tough to find somewhere to watch the Superbowl?  ;)

    I have to think Chevy wont stand pat.  Even if its just a 6/7 veteran.  Too many injuries on D to be comfortable right now.

    Agreed.  We're too good this year to rely on just the folks we have and hope it works out.

    Morrissey - Buff

    Enstrom - Myers

    Kulivov - Poolman

    If Kulikov's good to go this week, we're in decent shape short term.   What worries me, and I'm sure the Jets, 6-8 week injury gets pretty close to playoff time.  And this ain't Scheifele healing a shoulder, where you know player will stay in shape.

    I don't know, they're healthier now and can hang with anyone. If they start scoring, their defensive corps is awesome. They may also have the best group of centres in the league, if you think that Vermette is their 4th line centre.

    I'm not so sure.  They're old, slow.  How good is Ryan Miller these days?  Doesn't sound like Gibson's in good shape.  And he's their workhorse.

    I would have him 2nd, behind MacKinnon, but he's been great this year. Love the way he plays the game.

    So funny tidbit...  twitter peeps will likely know Wheeler's tagline of "nice guy, tries hard, love the game".   

    So, Friedman & Jeff Marek have got a new podcast, based on Elliot's 31 Thoughts articles.  Their last episode had Marc Savard on.  He mentioned how the "nice guy, tries hard, loves the game" line was a moniker those Bruins' teams had in reference to players who just weren't very good. 

    I wonder if the timeline matches.... Wheeler gets a rough ride from the vets in Beantown, gets traded, uses it as fuel for rest of his career.  Or just a coincidence?

    Motion presented:  Can we have a Canadian Politics thread a la the US Politics one ??

    It would leave this space free, for, as the thread suggests.... random news. 

    Seems to me the armchair politicos on here could have a more focused discussion on a dedicated thread.
