Maybe it is just me but I feel like Larkin has looked.....pretty bad the last few weeks from what I've seen? Routinely losing his assignment in the defensive zone, things like that. I don't know if he's hurt or what but at the very least the team seems like they can win without him playing his best so that's good.
I feel like the wings largely have been sitting ASP late even when he seems to be having a stronger game. I don't know if they're managing his workload since I don't think he's ever played this many games especially against heavier competition or if it is just purely a lack of trust. It seems like they just roll Seider - Edvinsson then Johansson with one of them for late stages of games.
Always a fun time when the racism wing fights with the antisemitism wing. Imagine being on the same side of these people and thinking you aren't human scum.
No thanks on Arthur Smith. In my eyes he seems like someone who thinks they're a lot smarter than they are and he seems like he gets obsessed with random JAGs instead of feeding his top talent (which once again feels like he thinks he knows better than everyone else). Maybe I'm off since I'm probably coming from a fantasy football slant but I've never been a fan of the guy.
It looks like the most he ever PK'ed was 13 total minutes back in 08-09.....I'm honestly surprised he racked up that much time in a single season. I legit assumed he just never did it.
A private equity company (or even companies maybe?) are buying up rinks all over the US too. Messing with pricing, making facilities worse, forcing people to buy their insurance, etc. Sad to see where the game is going down here too.
Tkachuk's "I'm suddenly looking away from you and not engaging" act was honestly super bizarre, I feel like he was baiting the punch then got super mad when Stanley obliged 😂
