better than four other teams in the east. all of whom are trying to tank this year (except for the bulls who are just bad).

asp looked like stamkos or panarin against detroit. what a great shot. cossa was great in game one and **** in game two.

almost all those linemen are seniors. well, except the 3* kids they decided to play at right tackle and center.

the browns cant take garrett's cap hit AND watson's guaranteed money cap hit. their books are going to be amazingly effed up. otoh, they ****ed up enormously signing watson for that much guaranteed money and they are basically screwed for the next three years until he's off the books. they cant cut him. also otoh, the browns need to get rid of anything of value and get picks. theyre done for the next two or three seasons.

not so sure. there are obviously significant elements within the donor base that dislike harbaugh. i can see there being an institutional aversion to bringing another harbaugh in. and the natural reaction from "untested assistant coach" (which moore is) is to go to "tested head coach". and we also dont know who will be available or who the next hot prospect will be.

there's no excuse for the oline to be this bad. no excuse for them not to know how to use orji. they just came into this year thinking they were going to run last year's offense without multiple nfl draft picks and a first round nfl qb. again, moore is al avila. he was there when the hall of fame coach/gm left so he got hired. as if coaching pixie dust will rub off. and now were stuck. theyre going to lose all the rest of their games except northwestern, they'll lose recruits, and the cycle will begin. next year will be a "prove it" year and they wont prove it. but they wont fire him because "he needs time to put his plan into place". so the program will degrade and the next coach will come in with nothing. only this time there isnt a harbaugh available to save them.

once jj declared there were not any qbs left in the portal. most of those things are worked out well ahead of time. well before the portal "opens."

harbaugh's departure hamstrung an administration that is bereft of the ability to think outside the box. moore was available, cheap, and required no effort to hire. he's michigan's Al Avila. if moore is 5-7 with a loss to michigan state and an embarassment at osu, does he stay? i think so because there is no way they fire him after one season.

we won a national championship, are you ok with that?

is it more than sherrone moore's?

Indiana got a new coach who actually knows how to coach and look at them now. michigan will muddle along with moore for a couple years and watch the program crater.

they'll be lucky if they only lose 7. i know the harbaugh decision put moore in a bad space, but everything about this offseason and this INseason have told me he is in way over his head. there is no reason to watch them this season, they may not even make it to a bowl game. we'll see if they give him the resources to load up in the portal next year. theyre going to lose all their good players. let's see how mad the alumni get after ohio state beats them 50-0. i'm not even trying to be funny, theyre going to beat michigan so bad.

seider has taken a step forward this year. he's regained his physical nature and he's taking a lot more offensive initiative. he's bringing the puck into the o zone and not just dumping it in. edvinsson and seider can hopefully grow into a physical defensive pairing.

a much needed win, even if they were outshot by almost double.

whomp whomp. 😞

1-1! kasper with his first assist. 🙂

theyre getting worked early in nashville. nashville was due for a win.

of course there will be collective bargaining. i wonder if one of the terms will be you have to go to x amount of classes per year? maybe....if x = 0....

i think there is a flu bug going through the team. larkin was almost a scratch and then played. he looked off. kasper was called up under "emergency circumstances". whatever that means. i think it means half the team is sick.

Kasper called up.

true. i choose to continue to overestimate! although, to be fair to stevie, i think seider and raymond have turned out better than all those guys. but it remains to be seen if they can keep it up.

true! (but they were embarassed twice...)

look, i'm down on them after their last 4 games but its because they wont PLAY the talent, not that they dont HAVE the talent. you dont think seider is an all star?

that says more about prospect rating than yzerman, dont you think? or do you long for a return to late stage kenny holland? dennis cholowski, anyone?

yeah, but you said they should have been a playoff team in 2-3 years... and yzerman has been here for really 4 years. they were a tiebreaker away last year.
