1-6 in ncaa finals games.

if yaxel cant play, it might be a bridge too far. but he didnt really play tonight and they slaughtered the 4th best team in the kenpom era...

yeah, but does he try hard and play two way hockey as a 17 year old? that's what's REALLY important.

i would love that to be true, but he was just here and didnt do squat.

7th rounders are just luck. the second round misses are huge. if, in fact, they end up being misses. still time for a few of them. but not much time. how's brady cleveland doing? kiiskanen? neiderbach?

i dont know, but soderblom didnt do jack here and now that he's in pittsburgh he's playing physical and scoring. sooooo....

look, nothing will happen to steve yzerman until steve yzerman decides he's had enough. and then he'll just move upstairs to some fancy role with no responsibility but plenty of salary. but then what happens? do they make draper the gm? the guy who has done so amazingly well drafting? horcoff? lidstrom? bring back shanahan? heck, why not make fedorov the gm, he used to play here. nothing will change until illitch decides to move on from the red wing old boy network, which is extremely doubtful.

everyone bags on late stage kenny holland, and its well deserved, but how about yzerman's drafts? outside of round one, what have they got? nothing. not one pick has made any difference and most have never seen an nhl arena without a ticket. plenty of 2nd and 3rd round picks from 2019 and 2020 have made the nhl, here, only albert johannson as a bottom pair defenseman. they had SIX second round picks in 2019 and 2020 and only johannson has made the nhl, 7 years later. you can talk about kenny all you want, but those two draft classes should have AT LEAST provided more depth pieces than that.

the same nate danielson with a whopping 3 goals in 18 games in grand rapids?

so where is superstar lucas raymond?

basketball players make so much money so early, there's less incentive. football players get cut immediately. baseball players make league minimum for 3 years, then have their salaries controlled by arbitration which is judged mostly by their performance for another 3 years. hockey players make less money and are locked into their contracts for at least 3 years as a rookie.

theyre not taking a hit now because of the product, why would they give up the revenue? people go see teams when theyre winning, not because they love to see well played basketball. and your last part is the real truth. players arent going to suddenly be available more if they schedule less games, they'll take more time off. the salaries are so high that they dont need to play. theyre guaranteed. plus these guys are their own brand names now, they lose out if they get injured, what's the best way not to get injured? dont play. the teams have invested so much money in them they the teams dont want them injured either. the teams want them ready for the playoffs, when they make more coin. as long as they can make the playoffs, they dont care. the regular season games dont matter. i dont know how you change that. its not like that in baseball for the most part. its not like that in hockey. they both play huge regular seasons. nfl isnt comparable. why is the nba different? why do nba players beg out of games so regularly why hockey and baseball players dont? why do nba teams allow it - and likely encourage it - and other leagues dont?

do steve kerr and the players want to take a pay cut to make up for that missed revenue?

why would anyone pay to watch this slop?

The knicks - without kat - beat the bulls by 40. the great josh giddey had more turnovers than made baskets.

well cade is actually hurt, unlike a lot of stars on other teams who just sit out certain games.

that's the initial question the court will address. if they stop the analysis there and rule that the government cannot amend the law in thia fashion, they are likely to get an 8-1 or 9-0 decision.

an amazing athlete.

Lord, grant me the confidence of Caris Lavert.

lawyers answer "perhaps" questions all the time at oral argument. especially at the supreme court. i understand what youre saying, but this particular administration cannot - and should not - be trusted on this issue. or any issue, really. in fact, if the SG had argued ONLY that the EO should be applied as a way to end "birth tourism" then they might have had a better chance. but they didnt. they went for the full "ark should be overturned" type analysis.

come on now, were building a team that contends for the final playoff spot every year! who wouldnt want that kind of mediocrity?

why do you do this to yourself? The sign outside LCA should read "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."

Maybe. The government is seeking only prospective relief, meaning that the EO is looking to end birthright citizenship for a particular class of persons moving forward. as you state. However, when the SG was asked at oral argument whether the administration would seek to apply its order retroactively, the SG refused to say that it would not. In other words, the government did not commit that it would not look to rescind the citizenship of US citizens who were naturalized under old laws. As Justice Sotomayor noted, the US has done this before when it rescinded citizenship for american indians. Given the cruel nature of this administration in regards to non-white immigrants, and the bipolar nature of donald trump, i dont think you can say with any certainty he would not look to deport as many brown people as his government agents could get their hands on. And if you disagree, why dont you ask stephen miller what he thinks.

where's michael talley when you need him?

i'll be interested to see how teams guard wemby in the playoffs. i suspect they'll just try to beat the **** out him.
