The #Bombers have added DBs Darnell Walker Jr. and Tre’ Hunter. Walker Jr played at Pittsburg State and Tulsa; Hunter at Louisiana-Monroe.
My bracket just so effed.....have no clue how Ottawa got by Boston. And Boston was AWFUL....they musta spent everything just getting in to playoffs. Yikes. I had Columbus, Boston and Montreal all going forward.....Christ.
I've got Rinne in my player pool. We've got bonuses for Goalie assists and SOs....so his one game that he had an SO and 2As, I had a solid little night....
Keith, IMO, is still the best D in the league.....Seabrook is a high-mileage guy right now due to concussion issues. Still a good hockey player, though! Both are great commodities for any team...
I actually JUST saw the Favreau Jungle Book last week, and enjoyed it. I'm a HUUUUUUGE fan of the 60s original, and this was definitely different...but enjoyable on its own. Walken as Louie was pretty cool. It's tough to follow the great Louie Prima, but Walken turning him into a sorta New York gangster -style thing was neat...
If you really enjoy the sport of hockey.....then you should enjoy the Oilers. That is some high end, fast paced hockey. I don't know if they're gonna get by the Sharks, and the Ducks are twice as hard....but man, this is a fun team to watch for as long as it'll last.
He hasn't been there long enough...I don't care how big a "star" you might be, you have to earn the right to speak up and he hasn't yet. It only comes with longevity. If anyone's gonna speak up, it's a vet. If there's a problem with coaching, or if Eichel had a personal problem, then it should go through a veteran leader....that's how these things work.
It'll never get that far...day 1 of Mini Camp, some new guy will impress and there'll be a post about "Well, this might be the year....got a replacement for Bruce Johnson now!!"
I think the point is more that you can't let it APPEAR like the kid is calling the shots. Whether the franchise guy does or doesn't have stroke isn't as important as the optics of a 20 year old punk American thinking he's bigger than the game.
Now, there's no question Bylsma sucks...he sucked as a player, he sucks as a coach....and I really don't think Tim Murray is much better.....having SAID that, when you start letting guys like Eichel call the shots, you have BIG problems...
Trust me, Flames fans thought they were winning the cup. Gaudreau better than McDavid and Monahan better than Draisaitl, etc etc. They are really the NHL version of Riders fans...
In fairness to Lapo and those screen passes, Dressler has had a lot of success with that over the years. Someone younger who can take on that role and have comparable success? I'm in...
