You weren't wrong. He never did get a 1C when he was in his prime and he scored 43 as a second year player, granted that team was stacked, but he still managed to score 40 with Derek Roy two years later. This is the first year he's ever failed to score at least 20 goals. His previous low was 20 goals in 38 games in the lockout year of 12-13. There have been years where he's only played 71 games and still scored 28 goals. If he had been able to play 80+ games this year he might have done it. 10 consecutive 20+ goal seasons is pretty damn good; I don't care who you are. He's tied for 117th all-time in goals per game with Sergei Fedorov who was a "pretty good" player. He's ahead of Jeff Carter, Patrick Kane, James Neal, Joe Pavelski, and yes, Phil Kessel.

The warrior part is a bit iffy. He did stand in front of the net and get the poop kicked out of him every night. He just refused to actually skate up ice in a timely fashion. Or backcheck. So, while I dislike using war references for a kids game(hockey and football players do not "go into battle" to play a (frank)ing kids game. That is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard and I groan every time I hear it), yeah, I'd say he was a "warrior".

Vanek took a beating.

My issue with him was when he was in a funk (Which was always 20+ games out of the year) he was god awful. Like he forgot how to play. Not even a typical cold streak. Like he didn't want to be on the ice. Then when was on, he was dominant

I love the chicken cajun pasta from Tully's. No mushrooms though

We used to end up at Tully's every time I come home now - my niece loves it there. It's decent enough I guess.

I leave for Buffalo in just over a month.

He's not one for misjudgments. Facepalming is a rarity.

Good chance if you thought some thing was gonna happen and then you see it's on his chart. You can with confidence, know that it will not happen and you can move on.

What color ones do you have Abercrombie or express or American Eagle
I love the express ones but the American Eagle ones are my favorite but they tear to easily if you fall and I always try to get one with a belt that's always a plus for me

American Eagle !

Huge fan of Loui ! When we don't get Stammer he's my first option to add. Won't cost any draftpicks or assets either like a Hoffman or any other player currently owned by another franchise. Wouldn't mind Okposo but anything more then 4M is an overpayment for him.

Not sure what contract Loui's looking for.

And I know people want Jack to man the point on the PP but Soupy-Risto would be nice, too.

I think Soupy is the only player we actually want to come back.. I mean, Goose is off that list, right? Right?

It's probably just the way the picture is faded, but the blue on that jersey looks like the same as the one they have now.
