Imagine the illiterate suggesting someone write a book. Someone on here said something about irony a short while ago…

And you are?? Who??

Sorry Jan. While you introduced the topic, to me it was an afterthought. I think you meant how would the players and the game be impacted.

To all others, get over yourselves and have respect for Jan. I have my own thoughts politically, but there is zero reason for it to spill into this forum. Also you don’t have to have the last word. Let it rest. That’s all.

Y’all got some bold ass statements

People seem to forget, of the last 16 years.. 12 of them were run by the same group of people. Those people spent a lot of time and money to encourage division amongst the people. There was a time when you didnt have to agree but discussion could be had. No longer. You’ve been conditioned to use phrases and terms to separate people even further. Most popularly the word facist, thrown around so liberally with no understanding. See as a grandson of holocaust survivors, and a son to parents who escaped the Soviet Union, I know what that means. Unfortunately many of those people are gone and people say this without any context, its just a word to them with no actual meaning.

What would it take to get Brady Tkachuk? Thinking Laf, Gabe, plus at least a first, but don’t think that would be enough.

Throw in Louis Domingue and a 7th round draft pick. Done.

See, the thing is, the people on your side will agree and the people on the other side will not. Trying to reason does not work. Zero reason to fight about this here.

This is not necessarily directed towards you, but everybody.

Deal in a second. Which makes me think it wouldn’t work.

There was an interview like 30 years ago with a former KGB agent Yuri Bezmonov, quite interesting.

Anyhoo...

Predictions for tomorrow's game?
Unfortunately, my national pride would get in the way of me making a realistic guess, so I'm just going to ask the question.

USA wins 5-3 in a highly entertaining game. Crosby gets injured late in the contest by one of the Tkachuk boys and ends Canada's hope for a comeback......

Now that’s a prediction.

JT Miller gets at least one point
Fox has a bad game/doesnt have an impact

USA 4-3

Honestly very excited to see tonights game! I don't want to see players get hurt on either side at all --- I just view it as a likely outcome when guys are going at maximum effort with emotions running wild.
If the refs let them play, I don't see the USA losing despite the game being in Montreal.

USA! USA! USA!

Interesting debate about this. If it's true that he's not going to re-sign in Carolina, do you trade for him before the deadline (or his rights) at the end of the season, or do you wait until he's UFA and throw everything you can at him. I say wait until he's UFA as I think it would take too many assets to get him beforehand.

Im not trading, either way its gonna cost around 13m to resign him, Id take my chances and wait til the offseason.

I can't picture Carolina trading him even though it hasn't worked out so far. Seems crazy

When the trade happened, everyone was saying how Necas isnt Rantanen and wont put up the numbers and Rantanen would be a monster in Carolina. Well, so far everyone was wrong heavily there.

Maybe it's Carolina and not Raantanen. They just love throwing the puck at the net from everywhere

Our favorite whipping boy is in the lineup today

Go KK!!!!
