    If he was bleeding, why couldn’t they use the same rule/concept as high sticking and give him a double minor?  Could they not also give him a misconduct for that non hockey play?

    Because hockey has a lot of stupid fucking rules.

  2. Decided to google "2021 NHL draft grades..."

    Dallas Stars

    Forward Wyatt Johnston was a reach at 23rd overall, though he didn't play last year because the OHL season was canceled. It's possible there is growth in his game yet to be shown.

    Regardless, Dallas made up for that choice with its later selections. Logan Stankoven at 47th overall was the steal of the draft. He has incredible, dynamic skill and could become a scoring second line forward in the NHL. He could have gone as high as 15th overall. There's also a lot to like about Ayrton Martino and Conner Roulette, both wingers with NHL upside, in the middle rounds.

    Grade: B+

    Wyatt Johnston will probably never become a high-end scoring center, but he may be a Selke Award winner one day. With how successful the Tampa Bay Lightning was with a third line centered by two-way dynamo Yanni Gourde, it’s always good to look for those players in the draft. Having said that, selecting him at 23rd overall is reaching a bit since he was ranked to go in the middle of the second round.

    There were picks throughout their draft that I liked. I have been a fan of Logan Stankoven all season, and to see him go in the second was a complete surprise, so a big win for the Stars there. Artem Grushnikov is a bruising defensive defenceman that already has a solid defensive hockey IQ, and Connor Roulette, Jack Bar, and Francesco Arcuri are picks with intriguing potential. Apart from the questionable first-round pick, their 2021 Draft class was pretty solid.

    Grade: A

    A few of us have picked on Otter for seemingly lackadaisical focus and/or letting in the occasional softy but he made a game-saving stop on Stephenson last night in the waning mins.

    Speaking of, WTF were Miro and Harley doing on that play?

    Oh, and one other thing the Broncos fucked up worse than their uniforms is their QB depth chart.  

    Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson, Ben DiNucci.

    I haven't rewatched 30 Rock in a while, but from what I remember it maintained it's fastball for the longest.

    I just binged it, which is what motivated the thread.

    I thought the last two seasons were terrible.  The story lines were usually stupid, and they took Jack's edge away and had him explore his feelings, which was never hit.

    That pay ain't shit! Hell, the guys playing in the UFL make more than that. Also, Elks must be desperate to sign him. 

    Edmonton was the worst team in the CFL last season.  

    (Kinda embarrassed that I know that.)
