Always are

I mean it was super obvious
I was shocked it got push back

Are you insane?

Do you know how math works?

Line 1 and 2 = top 6.
Line 3 and 4 = bottom 6.

Kapanen is, as you said, "a solid third line guy all day long", i.e. bottom 6.

I was first btw

Yeah, your wife is constantly complaining about that.

As Tanaka said in You Only Live Twice, men come first, women come second, which was varied by Austin Powers to "or sometimes not at all"

Marty said it yesterday.

Missed that

You snooze, you lose.

What did I lose again?

What did I lose again?

Hopefully Wehave's access card

While not ideal, it’s also not the worst option. He’s a predictable responsible player with a finishing touch, that leaves the playmaking to Demidov while he handles the rest of the little things.

+ youthful enthusiasm of a kid line to start the season … should catch teams by surprise, which buys HuGo 20-25GP or US Thanksgiving to re-examine where slow starters stand wrt to tanking for Penn State boy

Worthwhile strategy..

Well they did start with Dach & Laine, but it wasn’t working. All the credit to Kapanen, he earned it, but things will change during the season.

 

[Habsy]

He's already better defensively than Dach and Newhook. Likely the reasoning. Especially if Laine ends up on that line.

"Solid 3rd line guy all day long"

Who said that, I wonder?

That second line is going to get crushed.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Anderson should be on 3rd instead of Gallagher
