Ullmark is a good goalie who would help the Oilers IMO. I never said he was great, multiple times I said good.

"I’m not or haven’t argued that having great goaltending and a great defenseman do not help, I’m actually arguing for the Oilers to mimic it."

Then you stated ullmark is good.

How can the Oilers mimic the rangers great goaltending, with the good ullmark.

I very much agree though, oilers need a guy that makes big saves at the right times...

You're right boss, unless they clone the Rangers goalie the Oilers have no shot. Mimic Drurys approach, not specific players. How is this a conversation?

Ullmark would be a huge improvement to that team. They are getting horrible goaltending from 2 dinosaurs. Ullmark never really had good defenses here and still put up above average #'s. All he would need to do for them is stay healthy.

Alex Tuch, Henri Jokiharju, Peyton Krebs and Anders Bjork are absent from Sabres practice.

Okposo and Fitzgerald also absent after being placed in COVID protocol yesterday.

Resign Malcom and trade for P.k. floor met, Michkov/Bedard are that much closer. Pysyk all but guarantees you 20th place.

Definitely, drury has been outstanding all 34 games as gm.

Every team should abandon years worth of planning to do exactly what Drury has done.

This conversation is now done.

I know a lot of people will disagree but all things considered, I really do think Ovechkin will go down as the best hockey player ever.

The fact he might be playing his best hockey ever right now only adds to it.

For as long as he has been playing, as physical he has been, the dominance he has shown as a goal-scorer in the modern NHL and the sheer awesomeness of the goals he has scored over the years, I honestly believe he is the best goal-scorer ever in the very least.

Dude is a (frank)ing beast. He is playing 10 years younger than he is. If the NHL can pull off full seasons for the next 5 years, he will be the first to score 900 easy. If he plays as long as Jagr did, he could even get to 1,000.

Yeah, he is an all time great. I love his offensive game, and when he committed to playing a little defense, the caps won the cup. I still will always see that gif of him with the "controller disconnecting". All time top gif for me.

"Tell Victor that Ramon - -the fellow he met about a week ago? - -tell him that Ramon went to the clinic today, and I found out that I have, um (whispers) herpes simplex 10, and I think Victor should go check himself out with his physician to make sure everything is fine before things start falling off on the man."

I was just talking to a sibling yesterday about how well this movie has held up. Still really funny, 35 years later.
