I don't disagree that PP QB is a big need for the team, and truthfully I don't hate that they're developing Drysdale to see if he can do it. I just wish Michkov was being given the same leniency and opportunity, Bobby Brink isn't going to be on the next great Flyers powerplay.
There's nuance to the comparison for sure, but it's still one player that's given opportunity to develop and another being told he has to earn it. If they're of equal importance to the future, why is the standard different?
Also yes, I think York has been way better this year.
Sure but if you're going to do a meritocracy it has to be for everyone. Drysdale gets unearned PP1 time because they're developing him, MM "has to earn it". If dogging it on a backcheck is a non starter, then everyone should miss a shift for it. Most of them have done it at some point.
Nothing about last year was impressive to you?
He just doesn't make enough wow saves to make up for the should've hads.
Feels like the latter no? Deslauriers getting two games in a row feels unlikely otherwise
It's especially irritating on a home stand, I get it when you're traveling out west
It's just so fucking irritating because this is everything we were skeptical of when it came to Tocchet.
Devonta Smith or Ricky Pearsall
Completely agree, the desire from those in league circles to have it be a war of attrition that everyone has to endure instead of a showcase of the best teams in the league playing at the highest level holds the product back.
The worst part is that "well officiated" just means there's nothing controversial, hey didn't call anything that's a hold on either team but the shaft of your stick grazes a helmet and that's an automatic 2
Which one did you go with?
Quinn Hughes for Roope Hintz
It’s in everyone’s self-interest to build alternatives to Elon Musk’s unhinged harassment website
I’d encourage everyone to go out of their way try do at least *one thing* to help build up your communities and elevate other people on here
He's just so poised with the puck, it stands out
Haha I wasn't insinuating otherwise, more of like an ooooo fancy. Not my best gifwork...
