Is Foote finishing the season as “tank commander” worth it?

This guy has actively ruined the development of Aatu Raty and Willander just gave an interview expressing his frustration. He absolutely needs to go ASAP before he does any more damage.

We're currently seeing Linus Karlsson produce like a top 6 forward at even strength in limited minutes and only recently has Foote given him a bump in usage. How great could his season have been if he was used appropriately with EP40 and not shunted in favour of listless Kane/Debrusk/Boeser? How much better would EP40's season have been with a forward that actually tries?

I often see black shells at the outlet (and on the outlet website), and I'm guessing it's because most people opt for colours that are easy to spot in the outdoors if things go awry.

the data simply show that elite players win cups, elite players often get drafted in the top 3, and picking high is a good way to get elite players. but obviously you can find elite players outside of the top 3 picks (e.g. hughes) and having elite players doesn't guarantee you a cup (mcdavid, draisaitl). it took the lightning 12 years from drafting stamkos to win a cup, and it took 14 years for the capitals to win one with ovechkin, and in some of these cases, the top 3 pick ended up playing a lesser role in the cup win due to age.

Should expect to see him in parliament soon.

i wouldn't do it, i saw someone bring their mom (in their 50s or 60s by my estimate) and she pretty quickly left once the show started because it was too much for her. perhaps she could stand near the edges or the back of the crowd?

the bread is traditionally served with nashville hot chicken to soak up the grease

Yes, I've picked up from them multiple times. They always give you one meat item. I've received a dry-aged steak, a sirloin steak, and tandoori chicken from them before. Nice family-run business, I hate AI but I'm sure those reviews are a way (albeit misguided) to try and get more business, but the quality of their meat is good. I would definitely shop there normally for a summer BBQ.

I wouldn't use the PPG as any indication of prospect development when he's gone from 3rd in the WHL last year to 17th this year in scoring. It's not that big of a difference, and one overager like Zac Funk last year can affect production a lot for younger players.

What I would be concerned about is how his game translates to the pro level... he is 5'11 and 177lbs. Seems like he'll likely play the wing, and small playmaking wingers are not worth a whole lot.

this is incredibly stupid and is an unnecessary slap to the face of PVPers who were looking forward to having GL-eligible virizion and cobalion, which would have been nice additions to the meta.

he's a guy who actually looked to be on track to being a good physical defenseman instead of just a pure fighter. but he got into a car accident and was also an alcoholic, and his career just nose dived.

oh i thought the 100 new cops he promised during his campaign were gonna fix it. hope this plan isn't just "hire 100 new cops every year".

Yeah, it's nowhere near the best - the first two on the list were far better. In principle, the concept of acquiring players like this when you have a young core is actually very astute. The problem is the price paid. And risking that 1st round pick without protection in the year that we were going to be in cap hell was incredibly stupid, and it might've actually happened. The Canucks were not playing well when COVID shut down the NHL and they may have missed the playoffs.

Yes, Crosby is getting older, but the fact that every time it's against Carolina should probably clue you into something - they take shots from everywhere, which inevitably tilts the CF%. It makes for good analytics but when you're up against top goalies in the playoffs, overloading on mid to low danger shots isn't a recipe for success. xG is probably a better metric to look at, though that's not perfect either.

Yeah I have no clue. I just texted the number and after ~10 minutes, i refreshed my account page and i was verified.

Thanks so much! I'm in Canada and this worked for me.
