Just realized there has been a Czech purge. Yzerman has gotten rid of Hronek, Vrana, Zadina and Kubalik since February.

So do you think Yzerman is enquiring about Patrick Kane now?

So do I. I don’t get the shocked Sens fans that they didn’t get enough.

The Wings can choose between their own or Boston's first-round pick, which is from the Bertuzzi trade and top-10 protected. DeBrincat's resume shows his scoring prowess: 41 goals each in 2018-19 and 2021-22; 32 goals in 50 games in 2020-21 (the pandemic-shortened season); at least 20 goals in five of six NHL seasons. He has 187 goals and 373 points in 450 games. He has 11 goals and 30 points in 23 career games against the Wings.

No retention on Kubalik, i believe. I bet the Wings were pushing as hard as the Sens were for him to be imciuded.

Per Buddha. sebrango, a 4th rounder, and either boston's first or our first, whichever is lower.

Grand Canyon University? Does Wilson take a mule down to Phantom Ranch to get to class?

Skenes has a skeevy moustache.

Easy for Harris to be patient, he just got here. We on the other hand have been suffering for almost a decade.

Oh for god’s sake. Clark, boo.

Yeah I was i wanting Crews by slight margin but I’m now less nervous about skipping down to Jenkins or Clark at #3.

Skenes to the Pirates.

Story in today’s Washington Post on weather analytics for baseball. https://wapo.st/3D47OJZ For every 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degree Fahrenheit) increase in temperature, the number of home runs in a game increases by 1.96 percent, according to a study published in April that analyzed home run and weather data from more than 100,000 MLB games between 1962 and 2019. The study found that more than 500 home runs since 2010 can be linked to climate warming, and that the phenomenon could account for an additional 130 to 467 home runs per year by the end of the century, depending on how much the planet warms. A Washington Post analysis of MLB data supports the notion that balls fly farther in the summer months. Since 2006, the average number of home runs per game climbed from 2.10 in April and May to 2.20 in June, July and August. The average distance of “barreled” flyballs showed a similar trend, increasing from 387 feet in April and May to 390.6 feet in June, July and August. “Barreled” balls — well-struck balls that meet certain exit velocity and launch-angle criteria — were chosen because they are all hit similarly, helping to isolate the effects of external factors such as temperature. So far in 2023, the average distance of barreled flyballs increased from 385.5 feet in April and May to 387.3 feet in June and early July, while the average home runs per game climbed from 2.30 in April and May to 2.34 in June and early July.

I’d also stick Daniella Bruce into a tv role instead of the radio. Three people on a radio broadcast, even though Daniella is only called on occasionally, is too busy.

Gania also called Mize’s no hitter in Erie

Maybe worse is that I had to watch the Jays broadcast. They did a stellar job of containing their excitement.

No-hitter!!

At least I didn’t type have been heild hitler!

2 outs, 1 to go! Not as exciting as a solo no hitter but still would be cool.

With Foley’s help, the Jays have been held hitler through 8.
