Happy Gilmore is a replacement level skater, no way he's getting 3rd line minutes


edit: I didn't even catch Jimmy Two Times

Gilmore’s shot is Marc Andre Bergeron like in both accuracy and power.
BINGO!

The only way I see the Isles taking this series if it goes long.
Prediction is Isles in 6
Varly in net the whole series.

If I recall, that group traveled around a lot of arenas and was pretty fun and respectful. They were just trying to get some visibility to the fact that Quebec wanted their team back.

remember the NO HABS NO ad? that game was weird af because the quebecers were indeed mad respectful with the exception of a few guys popping poop, but we were all like (frank) these people singing "so gay" when they did the ole song lol

Hopefully we don’t revisit this comment and it has substance.

I'd argue that Rickety Cricket is more versatile. He can be a priest or a street rat, and everything in between

Bortuzzo is going to get eaten alive, he's awful. Aho probably would too, but at least he can move the puck a little.

He actually started off pretty well here, but he's regressed to the mean and it's pretty bad. Reilly has actually been really great though. I have no idea if Mayfield is expected to be back at any point in the playoffs or not, but he'd be a big upgrade over Bortuzzo.
