that's been coming for the entire third period.

aljo and edvinsson cant get off the ice because they cant get the damn puck out of their own zone without icing it.

the mute button was made for stacey king.

so michigan and usc reportedly stand alone in opposing the private equity deal. surprised that osu isnt with them. psu could probably use the money to buy a new coach and pay off the old one. so is michigan finally getting their revenge on tony pettiti for his conor stallions actions? lol.

mbn, finnie, and appleton are making a big difference in how the forwards press. young legs help a lot.

i was surprised they outshot florida. the panthers fell behind and then did their panther-thing of pressure. seemed like they had the puck a lot but couldnt do anything with it. regardless, a good win. especially without raymond.

thia might be the latest in the season the red wings have been in first place in a decade. lol.

the same staff that brought you tarasenko, gustafsson, and motte? slow your roll jason... 🙂

jt compher and andrew copp on pp2 seems less than ideal.

good work from mbn and finnie gets them a couple great chances.

once florida gets that forecheck going, theyre hard to stop.

sabres responding tonight.

yes.

what a snipe from Kane.

michigan-usc doing 2 million less than georgia auburn is a bigger disappointment. it would be nice if either michigan or usc were good....or if it was a competitive game...

go home 84, youre drunk.

if youre out of it, you trade him.

what if theyre out of it at the deadline? dont you deal him then? i would.

if they trade skubal they are most likely going to lose the trade because skubal is already a great player and most prospects - now matter how highly they are ranked - do not pan out. otoh, there is a very good chance that skubal gets injured again and/or declines from this peak soon (and will still likely outperform any prospect package). only the tigers know their budget. do they want to spend 25% of it on one player? if you held a gun to my head, i'd say they dont trade him, cant re-sign him, and he walks. but that next year will be very fun when he pitches.

interesting that ohio state hasnt joined them in opposition. at least not publicly.

they shouldnt be counting on jackson jobe to be anything. i'm not saying he wont bounce back, but his trajectory now is more likely to be average-ish casey mize than the all world spin doctor he was touted to be.

can we deal sasser to new orleans for an unprotected first?

is he just a bad negotiator? is he overvaluing tigers' prospects? underselling others? he's young enough to think seasons like this and players like skubal happen all the time, i guess. being proud of trading **** and getting **** in return all the while blowing the biggest division lead in history is something that they should be embarassed about, not proud of. not throwing it back in people's faces.

i mean in regards to the whole team. in game one your boy aj was complete ****. a total disaster that cost them multiple goals. game two was chairot and seider screwing up and costing goals. in game three asp was god awful, directly led to the two goals and almost gave up two more with his mistakes. as you note, chairot isnt perfect and shouldnt be on the first line, but NONE OF THEM should be on the first pair! only edvinsson and seider should be on the first pair. but then we'd have the worst second pair in the nhl and the worst third pair in the ahl! chairot brings something aljo and asp and wallinder and buium and tuomisto dont: he's physical and he stands up for his teammates. we seem to agree on that much. but aljo is not first pair material. not right now and likely not ever. that's why i was sad to see them miss out on dobson, but montreal had multiple first rounders to trade and we...did not.

poor from asp today. left edvinsson out to dry a couple times, bailed out by talbot a few times.
