no, the point is with that kind of talent it isn't unthinkable he could actually do a great job at center, but ideally Hughes will acquire an already established 2nd line center who will be able to compliment Demidov and let him do his thing without having to worry about any additional responsibilities.

So..he could be, just don’t bank on it?

the only answer I ever think about to that is "try to take over the world" lololll


it's Friday and I'm working from home, which isn't too shabby. you?

i'm working at the office but even though it's the end of the month i don't think it's gonna be as hectic as usual. we really rocked and rolled this month. yesterday i got a ton of poop done here.

this was my department's biggest month in the 14 months i've been in it. and it wasn't close.

noice. being busy and getting poop done is good, I find it's definitely more motivating than barely having anything to do.

people keep stopping by telling us how well we've done this month.

the days take forever when it's slow, yeah. but for the last few days of the month i'll take it if i can get it compared to how it usually goes.

yeah, it's all a question of balance, being too busy isn't great either, especially if you're working with incompetent people lol.

we have our share of incompetence here. but in my new department it seems like mostly okay people. these are all the money people i work with now so it's different than when i was in logistics working with the truck drivers and the dispatchers and stuff.

i'm kind of surprised they still let me dress like a slob. i'm wearing a flannel shirt, jeans, and a phillies hat right now. in the summer i do wear polo shirts though. so i look a little more professional when it's hot out lol.

and when you pop that collar, it's to let others know you really mean business.

"collar popping douchebags" is the new "jofa wearing wussy", which was all the rage to call people at the dek hockey rink (i never really knew why).

I guess the jofa thing had to do with the stererotype that European players are pussies lol.

i think so but they also seemed a lot cooler in the summer cause they weren't even tight around the cranium.

i was a goalie so i was safe from that kind of name calling.

Bruh, what are you, a rockstar?

Habs are lucky that the teams competing against them (except the Sens) are all slowing down as well.

In their last 10 games:

Habs: 3-3-4
Islanders: 4-3-3
Rangers: 3-6-1
Jackets: 2-7-1
Red Wings: 3-7-0

It went from "Everybody wants that last spot" to "Does anybody actually want that spot" very fast.

yeah, the way the habs have been playing in their last couple of games has been depressing, hopefully they'll get their poop together starting with tonight, which won't be easy. oy vey.

but they're still in it!

going to the hockey store was always super cool. we only had 2 around here at the time. center ice and then i forget the other one. i think it might have been called cooper's.

you would save as much money as you could and go in for a new helmet and maybe a big jersey that you could fit your chest protector under and you'd still be in there looking at stuff for 2 hours. you'd leave with just that helmet and that jersey but it was still so cool looking at everything else too.

What a (frank)ing idiot.

meh, it's a hockey discussion, you can get in the details, or not lol.

Demidov at center isn't that much of a stretch, that's all.
