"Game manager" QBs have won Super Bowls.

And a number one center only plays 1/3 of the game.

Both of those statements are true. So, the entire NHLPA is granted free agency in a redraft. You have the first overall pick. You're taking a goalie?

Possibly, but probably not. I'm probably taking Crosby, because good goalies will still be around after all the other GMs take a center in the first round. It'd be a pretty good second round pick though, because there might only be 10 great goalies in the league.

Interesting. I probably wouldn't go goalie until round 7-8-9 myself. There's certainly numerous ways to do it.

You know his extension doesn't kick in until next year, right? He still has a $6.5 mil cap hit this year, but it's going to get worse.

Ok. Sure. I didn't mean literally.

It's been pretty damn rough this year and that's a big chunk of the payroll. Thinking long thoughts on our GM.

Obviously.

All I'm saying is, if he's not playing to his value at $6.5 mil, wait till his cap hit is $10.5 mil next year, then for 7 more after that as he declines over the course of that contract. Rangers fans know what I'm talking about.

They could have let him walk and signed a serviceable goaltender at half the price to use the cap savings elsewhere, but then they'd be chasing Bergevin out of town with pitchforks and torches.

I have to say that tonight’s drubbing at the hands of the Blues was the worst I’ve seen the Oilers play in just about a decade.  And I’ve watched a lot of Oilers hockey.

I've been distracting myself with football and the year's last gasps of decent golf weather from the horror show that the Habs have become. Happy to have not seen the 6-0 drubbing to the Leafs. My buddy tried to raze me about it the other day. All he got was a shrug.

The loss last night in Dallas was the fourth in a row. I'm not looking forward to the end of the football season.

Wow, last night the Habs looked like...Edmonton.  I hope the Oil can win tonight against the Leafs.

As usual, the Hurricanes are no good. Time to start thinking about who goes at trade deadline, and possible draft picks for next season.

I was joking with my brother that the Canadiens blew their monthly allotment of goals with that 10-1 game against Detroit. 

Bergevin took a so-so team that finished last year and made them worse. Habs miss Markov and Radulov. Price has been really hot-or-cold and the cold is freezing bad. You know your club's in trouble when Brendan Gallagher is leading the scoring.

  Edmonton has had a great three game road trip, probably the best the team has played all season.  

  It was great watching them rout the Jackets last night.  I don’t watch a lot of Columbus hockey, do Foligno and Dubinsky always play like such douches?

I was in and out of the game last night, but from what I did see it was one of the worst CBJ performances all year. The slot in front of Bob the Goalie looked wide open for business.

As far as Foligno and Dubinsky go, presumably you are referring to the fights at the end of the game. It was sort of an "I care" moment from Captain Foligno at the end of a butt kicking. Who knows what Dubinsky was thinking with Kassian? 

 

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

   Dubinsky will have 6-8 weeks to ponder that thought.  Kassian broke his orbital bone during that fight.   Ouch.

Splurge time.

My Leafs-fan buddy and I are going to the CBJ game Wednesday night. He's threatening $65 seats, so it might be a ramen-noodle Christmas this year. ... Will have to limit myself to just one of those $10 beers or whatever it's up to by now.

None-the-less, really looking forward to it.

It's the big trip to Nationwide tonight for Leafs v. CBJ.

Jackets are coming off two horrible performances against Edmonton and Boston. Toronto swamped Carolina 8-1 yesterday. Torts must be getting mellow in his old age. He let em have the day off after that shellacking by the Bruins. Ten years ago, Torts would have skated them into the ice.

It's a chunk of money for me, but I'm hoping for a decent game tonight.

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
