Thompson > ROR

No it’s actually this now

Both teams won the trade. Well done to both GMs. Well done to Mr. Pegula (yes mr.) If he actually forced us to keep Tage.

Tallness fooled him. He was ready for another one-time and TT wristed 5 hole. Goal scorers goal as they say.
- lacaprup


Watched the replay and it looks like Tage beat him blocker side on the 2nd goal.

Definitely a save you would hope your goaltender makes from that distance.

Couple thoughts on non-1st liners:
Asplund is having an OK game. 2 good chances from Mitts

Bryson is not terrible? Still not sure about this one.

- lacaprup

Bryson good speed, offensive minded, but takes too many risky chances with puck and he’s too small. Just my opinion

Man it must suck to be the guys saying

"Goalie should have saved that"

Instead of

"Tage Thompson is turning into a goal scorer"

Wow, he said snow was white, I should thank him.
- BeadyEyedDouche


Never asked for a thank you, just made a valid point that was coined “not unreasonable” by Iacarup and then brought up as “not a hot take” by Sbroads.

I am on here conversing on a message board about hockey topics, at least until you came in and nuked a blog for no reason due to your personal vendetta against me

However, I got maternity pictures to go take and don’t have time to argue with you.

Wow. Big save. Hell yeah, Toke, I never doubted you for a second. Don't backread around when you let in the 3rd.

It was the best I could tell from slo-mo and the player tracking they had on it during the intermission highlights.

I’d like to see Krebs/Cozens/Mitts for a few shifts. I’d rather see Mitts as a top 6 winger than a bottom 6 center

I disagree. He and Asplund have something going today. Don't be surprised if they get a goal.

Man it must suck not knowing two things can actually be true.

I was the one of the very few whom always defended Tage too, so this is extremely rich.

Okay, now I’m done for the day.

What did our picks turn into? Did we ever get anything for Sobotka?

Pittsburgh Steelers just hired Brian Flores as "Senior Defensive Assistant".

They will trade for a QB this off-season. Watch out Cincinnati. Flores and Tomlin with a fresh QB?

They should give Seattle every draft pick they can for Wilson. If they do, that's my Super Bowl favorite next year.

Hard to believe it should only be 1-1, according to my sources.

You know how it works in fantasy hockey, after the big names you just toss in garbage to get the trade approved.

I don't believe Sobotka played in the NHL again after the season where Kucherov cheapshotted him.

You know the Sabres drafted Ryan Johnson with the 1st round pick.

As for who they drafted with the 2nd round pick...

The 1st round pick is Ryan Johnson playing Defense for the U of Minnesota. Theres a 2nd from 2021 also
