NYR isnt getting Yurov from Minny, so swap him with Stramel and then continue the exercise

If they can do this to find a dog, they can do this to find anyone. That’s terrifying.

As promised, a season full of bullshit warrants a bullshit shirt and hat.

Honoured to play β€˜A Familiar Voice’ 😌 in IRON LUNG! The biggest congratulations to Mark & Amy for this absolutely Herculean effort - the success could not be more deserved.

Here’s to many more such (very indie, very human made, very passion-fueled) successes ❀️πŸ”₯.

NYI would be best to put him in a bottom pair role imo*

27.01.2026 14:36 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

depending on the system you guys are running, he might be fine in a middle pair but youd be best in a bottom pair role. either way i doubt you guys sign him after this year so its just a guy to help you guys get through the season from the sound of it

Soucy will be fine for you guys as long as you put him on the bottom pair and dont expect a ton from him. hes basically the definition of a good soldier and is a FA at the end of this season.

its true though. NYR fans have been glazing Gorton as if he never missed and is doing so much better in MTL when he had plenty of misses for NYR and isnt the one making the decisions in MTL. so it might be PR but it is a reminder for everyone trying to say we should have kept Gorts

they were always going to get pennies on the dollar for a guy with full control over where he goes (if anywhere) on year two of a downward trend. NYR will be lucky to get the Marchand package from a team in the hunt

false, they should have traded his pouty ass before they extended him 6 years ago when COL wanted to trade for him

i should clarify that when i hear people say "tear it down" i think literally, selling everyone and do what teams like CHI and SJ have done. thats why i made the distinction. i think the team is currently in the middle of trying to retool and should keep going, its more how to do it smartly imo

im convinced that a lot of folks that are saying this are saying it with the belief that Fox and Igor would stay and that it would mean Drury goes.

ICE agent mid-air as he slips on ice and about to fall on his ass, nearly parallel to the ground. Two photographers enjoy the moment.

The Vincent D'Onofrio pig post:

Pigs can't look up.
But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.I want 2b treated that kindly and see the stars for the first time.

I’m a huge fan of Godmachine’s work, and his attitude to commissions only reaffirms it. Artists, know your worth 🀘

if that were the case then Fox would have made it.

thats fair enough. my counter is that i think i would rather both. let Rempe and the big guys run around on the 4th line and let Berard use some of that speed and grit and scoring touch on the 3rd line. get the top 6 scoring, 3rd line can add some points and be gritty, and the 4th can run amok
