I’m still curious as to how the Russian defensemen will hold up. A major reason that Russia has been disappointing in Olympic tournaments is because after Gonchar/Zubov retired, they haven’t really had another talented defenseman to fill in. It’s why I won’t pencil in a gold for their team just yet.

This GNX was the third one off the line and that’s admittedly cool but doesn’t warrant the price of, like, a house.

On the other hand, this will mean the only affordable housing for young Torontonians will be in North Bay, so fuck that.

I can see it.

The owners could do some political lobbying with other affluent friends to help the-hahahahaha sorry, I couldn’t finish that hypothetical without laughing at how much of a pipedream it is.

Reports are that the team site managers are not included in the unionization efforts, but that “their needs are being considered.” Considering they’re the most vulnerable and exploited employees—and the union acknowledges them as employees, albeit part-time—they should be at the forefront of it.

As a Colombian, I am totally rooting for a Russia/Colombia/Egypt/Saudi Arabia draw.

This isn’t the first time Milstein has done this. He put out a “Free Alexei Marchenko” tweet when he didn’t even represent him (Kinja isn’t letting me hyperlink text, so source here: https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2017/1/31/14465266/dan-milstein-sticks-his-nose-where-it-doesnt-belong-criticizes-red-wings-scratching-…

New York just has to try not to win too many games this year, or it’ll be tougher to find the one skill position long-term replacement they need most of all: quarterback.

Lauren, have you bought your Rasmus Dahlin jersey in preparation for a Red Wings first overall pick? Bring me that Swedish defenseman savior!

I’m surprised that Lovullo had Ray come in, rather than someone like Patrick Corbin, who has come out of the pen in the past, and is likely not going to make a rotation start. Unless they’re going to hand the ball to Ray despite short rest, in which case... *shrug*

They’re fine bottom six players, mind you. Helm is a good two-way player who can chip in on the penalty kill and Abdelkader is much of the same. Good role guys, but not worth contracts of 4 yr/$3.25m and 7 yr/$4.25m respectively.

Even Cygnet body panels are priced at Aston levels!

Honest question: can you convert a Scion iQ into a Cygnet clone easily in North America?

And if you have seen the ticket prices, it may accomplish the opposite. It might instead push fans to Columbus or Buffalo for cheaper games.
