I don't know who's been using my coffee creamer every day (the bottle with my name on it).

But I sure hope they like soap and salt in their coffee.

That sucks. I never use the common refrigerator. People are pigs and thieves.

How in the world do the Ducks have a -10 goal differential and yet are in 2nd place in the Pacific. For reference the Flyers are -16.

Elliott and Neuvirth are going back. Neuvirth for his kid, Elliott to be medically evaluated.

The Flyers don’t tank. They do things the correct way.

Hasn’t anyone seen the sign in the locker room?

It has been removed. It was deemed to "Unyielding" and was stand-offish to Alumni

Wild want to attach a bad contract tied to another player in a deal. Willing to take less.

Wondering who they consider bad contract they only have a handful of players signed with term. Suter parise 7 more years. Zucker Dumba 5 years. Neidereter 4 years.

So who is a bad contract they want to be rid of and what are they willing to give with them to take ?

Honestly, second chances can be a beautiful thing. It would be a second chance for both him and the team the let him down royally in his one period of play. Also, it is not a good idea to start Stolie back to back if we plan to continue to rely on him. Plus let’s think of our other option, we have seen Neuvy in 2 games, flashback; okay, Lyon will be fine, thanks.

Edit: It is also great that the Flyers gave Neuvy time off for a once in a lifetime family event. Elliott going sounds slightly worrisome.

Sounds like a plan! I think if they try to “tank” they would be a bubble PO team. 😂🤣🤮

There have been tidbits dropped the last few weeks from the media hub in Toronto that the Flyers weren't to happy with the picks that Hextall made in the first round. Kypreos was the first one to directly mention it today and use Hextall by name. The team didn't feel like the picks were being optimized, that he had picked decent prospects but had let better players pass him by.

Last week there was a mention (Chris Johnson I think, can't quite remember though)about whether it was in a GMs favour to draft college players and Europeans and pass on CHL players to enable a longer development time and whether using that tactic in the first round could cost you a job.

Bob Mackenzie wasn't very high on Frost in his review of the Canadian WJ team and someone remarked that they didn't know if he could play at that level of competition.

Just a few things I'm hearing and food for thought.

I like it

A little tired of hearing how great the system is when they aren't helping the on-ice product, tbh -- if you're gonna lose, no need to lose with deadweight. Young players have to get a chance when you're where they are

Young players do get a chance. All the time.

Honestly there really isn't anyone on the Wild that I'm willing to take on a garbage contract with.

O'Brien comes to mind. What other picks could they really be miffed about? Provy and Sanhiem we're the right picks. TK was a good pick. Rubstov? It's not like there was a lot to choose from there.

Who of that list outside Parise suter would be considered a garbage contract? Neidereter is an average one but wouldn't hurt anyone and is still a good player. And dumba is a great young d man. Zucker was 30/30 last year.

Now, If true, are legitimate things that the organization could of put out instead he was mean to the Alumni and took away pizza and wings as post game meals.

I actually dont consider anything outside Parise suter a bad contract and those 2 were forced courtesy of his new boss. We would of had them otherwise. And the Weber contract while were at it.

Idk. I imagine they would like to get out of either of those contracts now if they could.
