Yeah we should just load up with more 5'10 D with big hearts.

Wait what? You want smaller players?

Thanks Carol.


If Tryamkin doesn't get #88 from Schmidt, will he run home to mommy?

This is what I don't like about the guy. His agent's a pr!ck as well.

I have been since my multi year ban.

You said Benning's "big" defensemen haven't worked out.

I disagreed they all haven't worked out, saying Sbisa isn't "big" like Edler isn't "big". Guddy sucked, Sbisa sucked (again, not "big"), Myers is fine for now, Tryamkin deserves a shot just like any other prospect. Chara would be okay, I wouldn't want him as he's slow, but he's not terrible.

So how did you get it that I just want smaller defensemen on the team?

That was the sort of sh*t that would get me banned.

And we haven’t seen Hank the Tank in years...I’m surprised New Yorker remembers him....hmm🤷‍♂️

He should be given an opportunity to prove himself in Utica.
I have about as much faith in Tryamkin as a player as I do Loui Erickson....zilch.

I'm 6'1". I 'm a soccer player, and run, so I'm slighter for my height – about 165/170.

Haha, I was a lurker back then

You can see all the IP addresses, you know the truths

I remember when Hank the Tank (i think that was his name?) would always post Ek's crazy bio in the blogs to egg him on

"I went to school for journalism from 1986-1990. Right before the internet boom hit. In school they taught us what we were supposed to do in the world of old media. Our job was to be a mirror. Our job was to use our access to show the general public what was going on. We were also supposed to be the watchdog for the society. Placed there to keep those in power honest."

Classic. I wish I had the quote from the story about when he turned down Shania Twain for a date...

GergesWilliams "Malkin Wants to be The MAN" is also one of my favs

Close, I don't trust people who are under 6', are you sure you didn't stretch the tape a bit?

Thanks Carol.

Good question!
I'm going with "yes".

That's why I wouldn't give a "prospect" a one year deal. What does that tell the others?

I probably chased him away. Or you coddled me too much and he left in disgust.

You’re too polite and a very reasonable poster, Hank could get a few posters riled up, and had no mercy for lazy bloggers, like Matt Berry

Well, lucky for you I'm not under 6' then! Since I'm actually over 6', I've never had to lie about my height

I think you’re right, good memory, it’s been years since he’s been around.
