DeAngelo spearing Perry in the groin last night.

I don't know if I should be happy about it or sad about it.

Equating a player's back giving up on him to a guy's finger being broken is just the sort of hysteria the media wants to you believe. They are not even in the same hemisphere. O'Reilly will be fine.

In a perfect world where the leafs are top 4 deep, yes.
But the dont leafs dont have that luxury, so he'll be up in the top 4. Which is fine, so far hes been alright.

Oh and many hockey talking heads have also said this.

I'm very interested in seeing how the B's and Leafers approach McJesus this week.

Try to match lines ??

Go best on best OR

just let anyone but McJesus try and beat you... because right now the guy is as hot as the Sun.

I'm sorry - I've seen whackos - and to be fair it's largely on Twitter as opposed to actually accredited sites - making this false equivalency between Foligno and ROR and it's irritating to me.

On a similar note - and I say this in the context of this message not as a reply to the other because I don't want you to think I'm attacking you - which talking heads have said that McCabe is a 5/6 on a better D?

The reason I ask that is that by all accounts and measures, he's a top-4 D. He's basically Muzzin-lite - he's physically a bit smaller, but when you compare their year-over-year progression - Muzzin has put up more points on average, but McCabe has blocked more shots, hits about the same for their 28/29 year old seasons, and McCabe has more Takeaways and fewer Giveaways.

Largely it's this: McCabe is a, and has been in a, defensively responsible position for most of his career. Muzzin did play with Doughty and did have offensive opportunities afforded to him (I think he was a faster skater in his mid-twenties). But in terms of how they approach the defensive shut-down role, it's not that dissimilar and Muzzin and McCabe both provide that at a top-4 level.

Don't believe my BS, here's what JFresh posted: https://twitter.com/JFres...30274547181076481?lang=en

He's not elite and there are absolutely better top-4 options out there, but he qualifies as top-4 on almost any team in the NHL regardless of their contender status or not.

I stupidly let my dirty laundry pile up in the laundry room.

Finally ran out of clean underwear in the dresser, so went down to the basement to grab a pair of running shorts with a built in liner to wear, and to (finally) throw a load of laundry in the washer.

Apparently Mrs. Wedgie became so frustrated by my mountain of dirty laundry, she washed it for me.

I've learned something from this experience, but it's not what my wife hoped I would learn.

I don't think enough has been made of the fact AM leads all forwards in blocked shots. That is amazing.
