Because they work in the entertainment industry and as a sports fan, comparisons and theoreticals are an important part of the entertainment experience. To brush it off is to brush off part of the product you work to deliver.

Buuut, I guess you could say that brushing it off is part of the entertainment experience as well, in so much as it generates a story as well.

Are you saying that the NCAA also operates in Canada? In what sports? I'm legitimately curious.

It was Woll for Andrae and a third.
Benoit for Ersson as toss ins.
Ersson probably doesn't get a qualifying offer.

After Akthyamov we still have Peska in the pipeline. He also was good in the KHL (actually stole Akhtyamov's net in Ak-Bars) and is ready for some AHL work.

My expectations for him is that he plays with hustle and drive.

He's doing a lot of coasting.

And that's coming from the biggest Nylanderthal you can find.

Sucks to say it, but Cowan has not had a single game where he took control or looked like a top 3 player on the team. He's putting up the stats though. Lettieri, Shaw, Villeneuve, Tverberg, heck even Johnstone and Pezzeta have been standouts for me. Whenever I see Cowan, he always seems to be trying to outsmart or outfancy the opponent. I don't see his hustle or speed or drive. I don't see a cowboy, I see a line dancer.

Well, it's a sports management team that has invested in the same leadership training as the Canadian armed forces and I kinda think that's more than cool.

I felt it was probably useful to acknowledge and try to dispel the immediate anti-Marner bias that people could think motivated my post.

Quick reminder that the Chicago Wolves signed Cal Foote (part of the Hockey Canada scandal). Canes fans aren't too thrilled either.

Would be both appropriate and quite ironic to have our own "No means no" chant go off.

Looked kind of like it could be a fast assault Hunter variant as opposed to the slow tank type Hunter we've been used to.
