It's no joke that I like Mrazek, or Athanasiou or Mursak or Pullkinen. But I joke about how ridiculous it is. That said, Mrazek wins that series. I don't understand why Carolina though Freddie Andersen was the answer. I wonder if its time to move on from Rod Brindamour. Mrazek wins that series - or...

Where’s Nill’s cup and place in the HOF?

Several Wings prospects are key contributors

AND Mike Richards, Happy Hudler and Jerid Stohl. Mike Richards gets a pass. Who wouldn’t snort coke off of Erin Andrews ass? Didn't know Richards was with her at one time. She's married to Jared Stoll now. I could have that wrong then. Wasn’t Stoll also on the Kings when they won the cup?

Colorado forward Nichushkin suspended for 6 months and put in the players drug program. Second time in less than a year. Left the team last year in the playoffs for "personal reasons". https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/colorado-avalanche-s-valeri-nichushkin-placed-in-stage-3-of-nhl-nhlpa-player-assi...

The Avalanche losing Valeri Nichushkin for the rest of the playoffs and into next season because of substance abuse is crazy. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I can't imagine it coming at a worse time for them considering he was tied with Zach Hyman at 9 goals for the most in the playoffs. Landeskog ...

I'm a little surprised Vancouver is leading Edmonton 2-1. Having said that, once again secondary scoring disappeared for Edmonton and it's the top line + Bouchard that generates all offense. Too early to get excited though -- McDavid/Draisaitl are over 2 points per game and can still turn this seri...

I think Letourneau will rise, but right now he is slated to go much later than 15. I fully support taking a big swing at him there. He has elite potential. I feel the same way about Hage. I like Chernysov, Basha & Ritchie a lot too. I don’t want Greentree, Jiricek or Helenius. Except for Eiserma...

COVID is also lingering here as well with all the prospects. How many are behind 1+ yr in development, or will never peak out due to that missed year. Not to mention the lack of in person scouting, etc. Not saying its an excuse, but it does throw a guesstimate factor into the equation for everyone ...

Hronek: First 24 games-: 23 points Next 57 games (inc. Playoffs): 25 points (4 Assists in his last 19 GP) And he wants $8M x 8!!!!!!! :lol: Holl & Petry combined made 10.75 mil last year for 28 points. Of course we only paid them about 5.7 of that. This team probably makes the playoffs with Hro...
