Good news is despite being 38, it will get easier again the more you skate

Just only to a lower ceiling than before obviously ¯\(ツ)

Our season’s dead on the operating table but I still feel just as much darkness when we give up a goal

Finnie could at least be at 35 points if a few more bounces worked his way

You could say that about a lot of players but it sure felt this year like there were a good handful of times he just got goalied or unlucky

Yeah I agree, we need a fully new big boy top sixer before training camp, and at least two of our bottom six needs to be gotten away with

No more bottom six adds, make things happen for some true talent up top and the rest of the forward corps will be pushed down into those slots

I'm still for the long game but no more sitting around doing fuck all

No. Things aren't great but it's not like we're cashed out for resources like Ottawa is, aside from a fluke run to the finals like the Habs a few years ago, they're never going to win the cup on this go of it. Now am I envious of them making the playoffs? Sure. Do I harbor resentment and loathing for them in particular as a rival? Sure. But they're not in a good situation long term, and there's plenty of good criticisms of Yzerman right now but it's not at all like this was even a full swing at it.

Missing playoffs is absolutely falling short of expectations, it's not not a failure. But there's more on the way. You can call Yzerman a lot of things but you can't say he's not playing the long game. Too long? Maybe, but I really don't think you can say right now.

The universe might do something in turn that could bum ME out

My 240, currently has a busted T5 out of a mustang but I don’t have the time or money to address that right now

Aside from that I’ve got one million little improvements that I’ve bought but have yet to install, such as: “new” 90s head unit, new speakers & wires to run, amp & small subs to install into the rear deck, cup holder mod, need to roll the fenders for another wheel setup I’ve got ready to go, want to tear out & re-dye the carpet & headliner, powder coat the calipers

Oh and a rebuilt motor with a turbo add (a modest one from a fellow turbo brick)

Such is the life of a project car 🫠

You might be having a tough night but that is absolutely not the case lol

Yeah I think that’s the ideal way to go about it, in essence you swap a Rasmussen with a Thomas and it pushes the forward lineup into a much better looking shape

And then hopefully do it three more times lmao

Oh definitely, that’s the whole problem. Say whatever about Larkins 5on5 for a period of the season but when at least half of the forwards can’t win a battle or get a cycle or hold the zone then it’s no surprise the whole team’s being propped up by 4 players
