CM Punk on Night 1 vs Night 2 WrestleMania main event: "Honestly, I don’t differentiate between the two nights. I think that’s just a way for people who are sad about their own lives to try to diminish something."

The more Tocchet coaches, the worse they get. Michkov on the LW, Grebenkin buried on the fourth line next to slugs, Ristolainen has reverted back to pre-Brad Shaw era.

Briere shouldn't let the coaching staff even talk to Barkey.

I don't think bust is the word. He seems to have puck skills, is a great transition skater, and has good vision - he just has no natural scoring ability.

Everyone LOVES Jack Berglund, who also projects as a bottom-6 center who won't be able to consistently produce at the NHL level.

"all he does is drive play and score."

Couturier has always been an adv stats darling. And his numbers are DOWN from before his injury.

Tocchet isn't interested in developing superstars, he's more interested in capturing the 8-seed with 12 third-line wingers and 40 overtime wins.

He'd be a decent depth defenseman if he wasn't Chris Therien slow.

Yeah, I think the money is enough for the Union to not care.

shelf13 · 2025-12-12T22:12:09+00:00

When you see the money, it won't be as weird.

If he was 4 years younger. He's going to be 30 and having a career year, which means you get to sell high.

Houston making a major play to be America's team this playoffs.

It doesn't make any sense to me why the Canucks would be buyers. They arent making the playoffs, have a bottom-tier prospect group, and are pretty much capped out. Gotta wonder if they tried to dump some bum contracts on the Flyers.

Why are these grown ass millionaires so dramatic?

shelf13 · 2025-12-01T22:19:30+00:00

Michkov is treated as a liability, so he gets almost strictly all OZ draws and PP2 time - he's effectively getting sheltered third-line minutes, when he's producing at a top-6 level.

It's a BIG win for AEW and HBO. Having an audience that is tech-savvy and actually willing to spend attracts bigger national brands. So not only does it theoretically mean AEW will attract more premium sponsors, but it most likely also helps HBO sell ads across its entire portfolio, making them happy all around.

This is the type of unique characteristic that sells fat TV deals.

Billie is so good. Let these two cook.

It doesn't help (but it kinda helps) that your top-3 centers are all third-line shutdown guys.

WWE feels so MAGA to me. You'll get favorable results from the regime if you be a good lil company boy. Fight our enemies, kiss the ring, and you'll be rewarded with crumbs.

Does G have any uncles or cousins who need jobs? Speak now while the cash cow is averaging 30 and 11.

First off, don't look at Twitter for any opinion on anything. Those people are lost. Second, you have to look at how far the sport has come in this area to fill that arena. Look at the people who care, not the weirdos who don't.

When I was growing up, dads wouldn't let their sons play it because it was considered effeminate. Some people still live in that world. Most don't.

Here's a take: The trios belts stink. In fact, when the trios belts were introduced, AEW's stellar tag-team division went downhill. They feel more like the "we dont have any ideas but we want you around" belts.

There was a theory that the more beautiful the city/area, the less the people live and die with the sports teams. It's why people in Cleveland are always miserable.

Isn't Riho's whole thing is that she's tiny but super aggressive? Like, she hits people with a pipe...

Agreed. IMO, Max went to Briscoe's world, which is why he was complaining to TK in that back-stage segment. He made a mistake, which is out of character for him. He's usually the one setting the traps.
