HE realized shut out was over might as well give BB the GWG in first game.
Then WD puts the Sedins out again on empty net. Instead of shooting Hank passes. If he had Sutter or Bo's line someone is shooting. Plus don't they need the experience. What the hell does WD keep overplaying the Sedins at this time of the year - Nuck4U
longer answer.....they would retire if split.......I know that, you know it, everyone here knows it.....don't think Vegas doesn't know it too. Why pick someone you know will will not play for you? If the team lists are not disclosed, and they are in on the strategy........Even if one gets picked......they retire (not for long) as we give LV a 7th for the rights......
I agree, the scenario is out to lunch. I just want to buck a trend. Everyone can say the twins suck, they are an albatross. I'm just trying to come up with ideas to protect a player or two who might be a diamond in the rough, or a trade piece down the road. - WelfareWerewolf
So you have Bo-Boucher-Sven-Stech-Hutton on one unit, Goldy-BB-Tree-Edler and one Sedin?
Good luck telling guys who fought hard to keep you in the playoff hunt to take a seat during the power play in favour of kids with under 100 games experience - WhiteLie
I went to Home Depot recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented 'you're definitely going to crap yourself' road-kill chili. Tasty stuff, although hot to the point of being painful, which comes with a written guarantee from me that if you eat it, the next day both of your butt cheeks WILL fall off.
Here's the thing. I had awakened that morning, and even after two cups of coffee (and all of you know what I mean) nothing happened. No 'Watson's Movement. Despite the chilies swimming their way through my intestinal tract, I was unable to create the usual morning symphony referred to by my dear wife as 'thunder and lightning'.
Knowing that a time of reckoning HAD to come, yet not sure of just when, I bravely set off for Home Depot, my quest being paint and supplies to refinish the deck. Upon entering the store at first all seemed normal. I selected a cart and began pushing it about dropping items in for purchase. It wasn't until I was at the opposite end of the store from the toilets that the pain hit me.
Oh, don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm referring to that 'Uh, Oh, CRAP, gotta go' pain that always seems to hit us at the wrong time. The thing is, this pain was different. The chilies from the night before were staging a revolt. In a mad rush for freedom they bullied their way through the small intestines, forcing their way into the large intestines, and before I could take one step in the direction of the toilets which would bring sweet relief, it happened. The chilies fired a warning shot.
There I stood, alone in the paint and stain section, suddenly enveloped in a toxic cloud the likes of which has never before been recorded. I was afraid to move for fear that more of this vile odor might escape me. Slowly, oh so slowly, the pressure seemed to leave the lower part of my body, and I began to move up the aisle and out of it, just as a red apron clerk turned the corner and asked if I needed any help.
I don't know what made me do it, but I stopped to see what his reaction would be to the toxic non-visible fog that refused to dissipate.. Have you ever been torn in two different directions emotionally? Here's what I mean, and I'm sure some of you at least will be able to relate. I could've warned that poor clerk, but didn't. I simply watched as he walked into an invisible, and apparently indestructible, wall of odor so terrible that all he could do before gathering his senses and running, was to stand there blinking and waving his arms about his head as though trying to ward off angry bees. This, of course, made me feel terrible, but then made me laugh. ..........BIG mistake!!!!!
Here's the thing. When you laugh, it's hard to keep things 'clamped down', if you know what I mean. With each new guffaw an explosive issue burst forth from my nether region. Some were so loud and echoing that I was later told a few folks in other aisles had ducked, fearing that someone was robbing the store and firing off a shotgun.. Suddenly things were no longer funny. 'It' was coming, and I raced off through the store towards the toilet, laying down a cloud the whole way, praying that I'd make it before the grand explosion took place.
Luck was on my side. Just in the nick of time I got to the john, began the e inevitable 'Oh my God', floating above the toilet seat because my a** is burning SO BAD, purging. One poor fellow walked in while I was in the middle of what is the true meaning of 'Shock and Awe'.. He made a gagging sound, and disgustedly said, 'S**-of-a-b****!, did it smell that bad when you ate it?', then quickly left.
Once finished and I left the restroom, reacquired my partially filled cart intending to carry on with my shopping when a store employee approached me and said, 'Sir, you might want to step outside for a few minutes. It appears some prankster set off a stink bomb in the store. The manager is going to run the vent fans on high for a minute or two which ought to take care of the problem.'
My smirking of course set me off again, causing residual gases to escape me. The employee took one sniff, jumped back pulling his shirt up to cover his nose and, pointing at me in an accusing manner shouted, 'IT'S YOU!', then ran off returning moments later with the manager. I was unceremoniously escorted from the premises and asked none too kindly not to return.
Home again without my supplies, I realized that there was nothing to eat but leftover chili, so I consumed two more bowls. The next day I went to shop at Lowes. I can't say anymore about that because we are in court over the whole matter.. Jerks claim they're going to have to repaint the store. - VanHockeyGuy
Riggggggggggggght,
so then they doubled down on last year's 'tank' by signing Eriksson long-term, trading a 1st,2nd and 4th for a mediocre D-man and screamed playoffs right up until this year's deadline...
Gotcha.
Love how you Benning'ites apply revisionist arguments in an attempt to stay relevant. - Whiskey-Tango
Not a very fair claim.If you are going to call McCann a 1st rounder being traded,,,,then we traded him for a 3rd overall...
Shooting at an empty net garners experience? - Nighthawk
No protecting the lead. Come on. I know you are about earning it. But the season is over. It's learn and experiment time. Not watching Sedins over and over again. Especially on the road. Sheesh. Anyway at least WD stuck with BB on Bo's line in home state with family watching after signing. Must have been a direct order from JB and TL.

Of course i am about earning it. Experimenting is not always needed for everything & btw its not kindergarten its the pros.
Seriously dude your relentless going on is nauseating.
Nothing is never enough.
Take a page outta my book & be low key & relax a bit 😂😂🍺 - Nighthawk
I get you. Not worked up. Just pointing out. It's not about what's enough. It's about what's right and priorities. Glad the young guys found a way to bring their game. Cool.
Also if you are being true to your word you should tell off that ASL trolling if you want to stop nauseating. You realize you are just feeding him and his like fodder to take advantage when adding in negative personalizations. Even in a joking manner. They aren't chill about it. Not like you.

Heh ASL is ASL & if he trolls idc tbh. We all have a say here & almost anything goes. I do draw the line at getting personal. Thats a childish habit.

I'm all for integrating the youth, but this is still a professional franchise. The hockey world is very small and if you dont think news travels on how players are handled you are sadly mistaken. Players around the league respect the Sedins and other vets who have paid their dues, they would not be impressed to hear them get kicked off the power play for some rookies who combined have less than 100 games. That reputation (as with any bad reputation) is tough to shed and will follow the franchise long after.
Its very simple for us armchair GM's to plug/play players, trade them, be tough/cutthroat etc. but reality is they are still people and that, like any other organization, is difficult to manage.
