hey, like 20 somethin years ago, don't put me in the grave yet, I need to see another Cup

I'm guessing the hope in another year or two is to have a top line of Lafreniere/Zib/Kakko

and a second line of Panarin/?Chytil?/Kravtsov

That would be some good drafting

they do

oh man, the classic Odd Couple episodes are the best, Oscar is a sportswriter he sometimes covers hockey games

Oscar's wife Blanch (Bea Arthur) was hit in the head with a puck during a Ranger game (he took there for their honeymoon) - how can you not like this?

How (frank)ing old are you?

I know you weren't asking my age, but I'm 43 and I've seen every single Honeymooners episode. Watch them with father/brothers every xmas and New years Eve! Best show ever!

Assuming Chytil pans out, yes. Aside from all the stuff Ive said previously about the use of his size and being tougher to play against, for him to fit into that role he has to open up his vision a bit more. I like that hes a shoot first kind of guy, but as a center, its equally (maybe moreso) important to be able see your line mates out there and know when to pass and shoot.

Yup, he has some things to work on and I hope he can be the #2 center.

I see Buch as the odd man out unless he has some sort of monster seasons going forward

I never watched it, not because I don't like it, I don't know if I would, just was never on when I was watching tv.

one thing about Buch, he was playing the best hockey of his career leading up to the pause in March

they played those last 12 games he may have added another 12-14 points the way he was going

If things look to fall apart with Strome and they cant agree on something... as a plan C or D... Id be ok to throw caution to the wind and move Chytil to 2C and maybe make a trade for Barbashev for 3C.

I think a Kreider, Barbashev, Buchnevich line could be a nice physical line.

Its a good and bad thing because, we want Kakko to develop into our top RW and get that chance that Buch has right now. Some would argue that Buch is benefiting, like Strome is from Panarin, from playing with Zib. Then we have to decide what to do with Kravtsov, because his ceiling is expected to be higher than Buch.

- jimbro83

Yeah, but if you have Kakko and Kravtsov who should hopefully both be better, you can't put Buch as a 3rd liner. I don't see him staying if both those guys are better

do you remember the old Honeymooners episode where Kramden yells at Alice

"all your life you've been complaining WHEN IS MY SHIP GONNA COME IN, WHEN IS MY SHIP GONNA COME IN? WELL HERE IT IS THE QUEEN MARY!"

Lafreniere is the Queen Mary
- jimbro83

One of my favorites is when a Mambo dance instructor moves into the building (Carlos) and starts giving Mambo lessons to the woman in the apartment building. Ralph goes nuts because Alice is learning how to Mombo. During his tirade he looks at one of the elder woman in the building and shouts, “and Mrs. Manicotti, at your age”.
One of the funniest shows ever😂😂

Wasn't Mrs. Manicotti the one who taught him all the opera songs when he went on the name that tune show?

Who wrote Swanee river? Hummana Hummana....Ed Norton?

That's a good family tradition! I used to put an 8 hour vhs tape in and record the New Year's shows. It took me years to get the Norton sleepwalking one. Classic!

I DVR them off of TV Land now and watch them with my son. He loves the "silly guy". Art Carney was a genius. They all were really.

One episode Ill always remember is Fortune the parrot.

- jimbro83

Not gonna lie, I think Quinn is a fine coach but I dont think he has the experience to win in the playoffs. I selfishly want Florida to keep blowing goats and for Coach Q to get fired so we can hire him.

He hasn't even been given the chance during a normal season. Give it a little more time, it's not like when they hired Trottier.
