  1. I haven't been following this "scandal" closely - what are they compelled to comply with?
  2. yes, I think benn is the type to take a reasonable salary to help win cups. no team is going to give him top value now, so might as well take enough to make it worth it and allow some money for younger talent
  3. definitely talk for another time, but I don't think there is a cap issue, yet. I believe the overall cap goes up pretty significantly next year (or the following, without looking it up). anyway, the bigger question is can we absorb him in the lineup at the rate he's going to demand without any playoff results? he's now got goals in b2b games, maybe he shuts us all up on that point, or it will be a negotiation point moving forward. this team cannot afford passengers when it comes time for playoffs. not saying he is, but so far he's proven little more than that
  4. anyway, as long as there is a game to play, it ain't over. pulling for another CAR win tonight to give the Stars a little encouragement. wouldn't it be funny if in a week from now we're all talking about a CAR-DAL final?
  5. *white supremacists felt unsafe....
  6. oh man, TACO is gonna be what does it? after all this? TACO? hahahahahha.
  7. you think he has an internal monologue?
  8. newsflash: people are fucking idiots
  9. wait, let me go do some crimes first!
  10. bummer, for them. perhaps think twice about injuring one of our players on purpose and then trying to do it again when he returns. karma be a bitch. maybe if we keep knocking players out we'll eventually win by attrition. win the next, see what happens after that. all we can do.
  11. With little to no hyperbole, biggest period of the season. Let's fucking go!
  12. That was a bullshit call. Don't put that one on benn
  13. Channeling my inner Oilers fan: Hyman is faking it and should man up 🙄
  14. I think that is severely shortchanging how this team was purposely built. If you look at the last half dozen or so champs, many of them were teams built like us (STL, VGK, FLA) where they had very even team depth and maybe a sprinkling of superstars. I almost included TBL, but really with Kucherov, Stamkos, and Vasi on those teams, it's hard to argue they weren't top heavy. but part of the reason teams like EDM and COL (and to an extent teams like TOR) find it hard to break through is they rely too much on their top talent. when those guys aren't going, neither is the team. we've been purposely built to not have a drop off in production with the loss of any one player. it's what made WPG so dangerous and why FLA will likely find themselves back in the finals. hopefully our glut of high-end, but not overly star-studded lineup can finally start producing like we know they can. I don't care if it's 5v5 or on the PP (and trust me, neither do the players), we need all of our lines chipping in or we're toast. My bet is if we get points from 3 or more lines tonight, we will win handily.
  15. because there has never been one like this in the US and there never would have been unless a certain dotard was in charge.
  16. hey, Robo can't start a goal streak until he has one, which he got last game. but yeah, we need cohesion and line-by-line pressure. and stay out of the box.
  17. hoo buddy, little do you know I am full of both.
