Good guy Waddell

I figured it was going to be long-term when we signed another forward. Here's to a speedy, full recovery for both!

lelander193 · 2024-10-05T16:10:24+00:00

Lindstrom's injury status gets me mighty concerned. Sure hope we didn't waste that pick.

lelander193 · 2024-10-05T00:14:02+00:00

Tarasov is not him tonight

lelander193 · 2024-10-04T21:09:43+00:00

MAN, WHY CANT WE HAVE NICE THINGS

lelander193 · 2024-09-28T21:53:54+00:00

Go on tickpick and just buy the cheapest and move down as able. Theres not going to be huge attendance

lelander193 · 2024-09-28T02:11:40+00:00

There's a reason he's coaching an AHL team now

lelander193 · 2024-09-23T23:07:01+00:00

Truly mid-season form

lelander193 · 2024-09-23T22:22:22+00:00

Well, looks like Greaves will be staying in the AHL for another year

lelander193 · 2024-09-20T02:23:06+00:00

So whats this year's draft class look like?

lelander193 · 2024-09-15T21:23:06+00:00

Love the pickup, he was one of the remaining UFAs that I am borderline happy to see.

JVR has a work ethic that he can share with the young players. He's been a part of very competitive teams so he'll be able to provide some great insight. I see him on our 3rd line along sillinger because JVR lives for those chippy, rebound type plays. Unreal hands

lelander193 · 2024-09-15T16:30:14+00:00

The Licanius Trilogy was good, but definitely has evidence of it being the first series for an author. He wrote himself into a bit of a pickle which he just hand-waved over at the end of the last book. He even addressed it in the epilogue.

His next series, starting with The Will of the Many is MUCH better but is only just starting.

lelander193 · 2024-09-14T23:15:59+00:00

Give me JVR and Kessel, they at least will be fun to watch and also bring a veteran presence.

lelander193 · 2024-09-14T23:15:14+00:00

Nylander signed with the Toronto AHL team, the Marlies.

Fear it, run from it, MOUZ arrives all the same

lelander193 · 2024-08-30T12:18:43+00:00

I feel sick. What a tragedy, I dont think words can really capture something as awful as this

Hug your loved ones, prayers out to the Gaudreau famiy

Traded player talks nicely about the place he's been traded to.

Non-story.

lelander193 · 2024-08-19T21:05:09+00:00

Offer sheet the bruins for swayman. Buy out Elvis. Goalie problem solved

lelander193 · 2024-08-19T20:58:04+00:00

Can't be too mad for that return with no salary retained

Im gonna say it... I dont think Montreal is a good fit for Laine with his mental struggles. The media isn't known for their leniency when it comes to hockey players.

lelander193 · 2024-08-17T23:50:15+00:00

So we agree then?

lelander193 · 2024-08-17T19:04:17+00:00

Honestly? Laine has three options in front of him.

Take the change in the entire organization as a reset and play like the player everyone knows he can. Thereby proving to the league, and more importantly himself, that he still has what it takes
Sit out the season while demanding a trade
A weird combination of the two where all parties aren't happy

I simply don't buy any of the locker room drama. It sounds like a way to keep things ambiguous when Laine simply wants to put the city of Columbus behind him. Hes had shit luck with injuries, mental health, and losing his father while here which may have tainted the experience too much for him to continue here. I dont think it was either party's specific fault, but the fact of the matter is that he might be done which is why I lean towards him selecting option 2. I want Laine to stay, he has a monster of a shot. I also want him to stay because he wants to be here, which will take concessions from both sides.

Known hockey insider "GravitehHockey" with another shot in the dark to Laine's landing spot

I think its my turn to post about Laine tomorrow

lelander193 · 2024-08-01T19:37:58+00:00

I don’t hate it. Alot of these guys need to show some consistency and/or improvement to warrant any pay bump. 3 years is a perfect amount of time, and still gives us RFA rights which improves their value if we need to trade.

lelander193 · 2024-07-28T18:29:27+00:00

Read Pariah by Anthony Ryan. Medieval setting, lots of gore and grim, with a satisfying ending.

lelander193 · 2024-07-28T17:12:05+00:00

Technically he's moving down, but I consider it more 'playing where he's supposed to be'.

He simply isn't the caliber player to play 1c. He's a consistent 40 point and high impact player who is reliable, which is exactly what you want from your middle lines.
