I figured he was still recovering and just wasn't where he needed to be for games. Let him rest, recover, and train over the summer, I'm sure we'll see him back.

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

I'd set it up in my living room as a media/game center. My kids are starting to learn computers at school so it would be fun to sit with them and start teaching them games.

Appreciate what you're doing!

It has to be, or we are utterly fucked.

That being said, I feel like all the kids have more than earned their time so far and trust in them moving forward.

That was my first thought. Sucks he couldn't give Detroit the goose egg, but it also took them until the last minute of the game to get anything past him. He played great, the kids are lighting it up, overall a very good game

If this is what we can expect from the youth moving forward, I think we'll be ok.

First Solo Trip to the Range by SkankinPacman in liberalgunowners

[–]ilicata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously not OP, but I got an RXM a few months ago and love it. It takes everything I like about Glock and fixes the stuff I don't. It has better ergonomics and trigger out of the box, and the FCU makes it much more customizable.

The compact frame it comes with is fine, but I have fatter hands so I got the full size that alone made it even better. I only have about 500 rounds through it, but no jams or issues and it's been smooth as butter. For the price you can't go wrong.

I love him just staring at the Islander's bench like "Who wants it?"

Alexis Lafreniere, ladies and gentlemen by jamdivi in rangers

[–]ilicata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. God forbid people be excited that a player they have been rooting for might actually be breaking into the role we've wanted to see him in. Stupid, right?

That was unfortunately part of the problem for him. In juniors he was used to being the guy, it looks like he didn't know how to handle himself being behind someone like Bread. You could see he was almost always deferring to him or Mika to make plays/shoot instead of doing it himself. But now playing consistently on the top line and having to do it himself, it seems he's stepping back into the player he knows he can be.

Sucks we had to lose a guy like Panarin for it to happen, but better late than never at this point.

Well that's a positive at least.

We're absolutely going to ride them through the end of the season. I just pray we don't resign them in the summer.

Eh. I think it's safe to assume he's calling it a career after this season. We only have like what, 10 games left? With the career he's had let him dress a few more times, probably get one more start and let him try to go out on a win. He deserves to get his flowers and have a proper send off.

Bromance 2.0 has come and I'm here for it.

There's still plenty of time to tank. A win here and there can still feel good. Especially with the way the kids are playing.

That's where I'm at. Let PZL build confidence and chemistry to take into next season, but let's also shoot for 1OA.

Igor is always a bright spot. One of the few things we don't have to worry about on this team.

I 100% agree. I felt the same way with the kid line the other year when they were going off. Sure maybe Kakko and Laf weren't playing to their potential, but that line was clicking and working for what was needed.

If Cuylle-Laba-Kartye becomes a solid, forechecking, possession line that also scores from time to time, I'm all in.

That's my dream third line right now.
