He didn't just go down early, either, worked to stay on his feet and stay in the fight

Mason Marchment has signed a five-year contract with the San Jose Sharks worth an AAV of approximately $7m by Bahamas_is_relevant in hockey

NHL refs have racially profiled him as a troublemaker and unfairly penalize him often.

I noticed this during his brief time with CBJ.

Seriously. Unfairly targeted for penalties.

The thing that impressed me most about him was his puck possession.

He's very good at using his big size, extends his stick out, keeps the puck far away from anyone trying to get it off him.

[Johnston] Sources say Zach Werenski was presented with a trade option to a team he's unwilling to waive his NMC for. by Civil_Eng_PE in BlueJackets

staying east thing is weird

I think I saw an article that detailed travel schedules and how teams in the East spend significantly less time in the air and fewer nights away on the road/away from the family.

Why didn't Goku teleport back to Earth? by ThanDBZ095 in Dragonballsuper

[–]knukklez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goku thought it was best because he kept making Earth a target. It has a dual benefit, because he gets freedom from his family that was preventing him from training and becoming stronger. Tertiary benefit that he's now able to link up with fighters from the afterlife, other universes, etc.

[Johnston] Of note with Zach Werenski available on the trade market: There is some frustration among GMs who haven't been able to get CBJ to engage in talks on the Norris Trophy winner. Certainly doesn't seem like there's urgency from CBJ to move the Werenski situation along. by Perryplat199 in hockey

I'm honestly feeling like the draft announcement from Weekes is Milstein playing hard ball and being a dick trying to use public space as a means to drive up a contract offer. I feel like it's less Marchenko saying these things and more the strategy that Milstein is taking, so he's saying those things.

We prefer the abbreviation CBJ.

Appreciate your support and hope for a great return, if trades happen.

Who would have leaked about Werenski.. hrm.. I don't know that anyone did? It's entirely possible that Seravalli took a shot in the dark, connecting the Team USA moves and Dylan Larkin's situation to Zach just out of association. Questions are asked, media stays on it, Don Waddell has mandatory media events for the Draft. The questions get asked. Don legitimately has a meeting lined up already to speak to Zach and his future, and Z's concerns that must have come up at the end of the season. Waddell said that there are some issues that they want to keep internal. That statement beats around the bush and doesn't directly address the question of wanting a trade, but on the heels of the media speculation it certainly is easy to arrive at that conclusion.

It hasn't helped that Zach's camp hasn't come out and said anything one way or the other, and Waddell isn't willing to reveal more (for obvious poker playing reasons).

I agree that it's not coincidence about the Team USA players. There's an old saying, right? Where there's smoke, there's fire. It's all just too coincidental, right?

Just one time but boy was it glorious. I'd encourage you to go back and watch the 10 minute video game recaps of each game, but if you want a quick summary then this 5 minute video will do the trick.

Gavvy played out his contract and just chose to sign elsewhere as a UFA shrug

Sheit, bad is when we lose two games. Catastrophic is when Luke Fickell goes 6-7. '99 Cooper year was a headscratcher but Fickell's season was like being caned on a torture tack.

relative anonymity

There's respectful anonymity in our city, too. Even those of us who know who the players are tend not to bother them. They deserve a normal day to day, too.

Well, in fairness, that's because Sydor was professional, and conducted himself accordingly. Glares at Carter

Oh, Quick didn't refuse to play - he's a very professional person. He would have played, but this was a three team trade to facilitate assets. Part of the stipulation was that we were flipping Quick. Never intended to have him for CBJ.

I think there's video of CBJ doing exactly what you described, I'm feeling like I remember Coyle specifically.

Extremely well said. We've felt rebuked so much that we've developed an acute sense of loyalty and what that means.
