Ashlie in NC

We do not blame 4th liners.
We do not blame 3rd pair D-men.
We do not blame backup goalies.
We do not blame rookies.

We blame coaches, stars, captains, and anyone making over $5 million who does nothing.

Works like a charm!

And if that’s not available, one Alka-Seltzer in a Coke does it for me every time!

Wow. What a great stat!

Exactly. Can only go up from here.

That's a damn strong forward group, that's bound to get stronger this season with GMET.

SUPER cool! Can't wait to see the pics!

Two & Twin is redundant. Doh.
"They have two boys." or "They have twin boys."

You know what I mean...

So some of our very closest friends are named Ehlers. They are STM and have two twin boys... and you guessed it, their favorite player just signed to the Canes.

I know it's silly, but I'm so happy for them RN. They are for sure gonna be the first family to buy those Ehlers jerseys!

Raise up, fam.

Friedman just posted too!

WE DID IT! EHLERS TO CANES! (At this point, I'm most excited to break the narrative!)

Given that him in Carolina has been an open secret for a while, this makes sense to me.

Who knows but it’s my attempt at rationalizing and finding a believable narrative.

Last thought before I go to bed: perhaps the wait for and Ehlers decision is to avoid tampering talk. I can see both the quiet, modest Dane wanting no part in drama & the FO too.

@hmof2.bsky.social made an excellent point abt his agent which I also think is likely.

My 2 cents.

No! Isn’t it bad luck to be a sponsor for them?

Well there’s another reason for me to root for the Avs as my Western team.

Me, with the Ehlers situation.

I, too, am starting to sip on this. Letting go of the long-held hope and expectation that he’d be a Cane. Getting used to this IDGAF flavor.

Yep.

I've been Googling this. It's not super common, but more so than I expected. (Yay!) Would love an expert or person of color to share insights. For me, this is an exciting thing, as I look at it from the perspective of new generations of kids & representation.

Touche.

I mean, I realllllly liked Walker paired with Slavin. He's not flashy so he's often overlooked, but he is solid and has earned a shot there IMO.

We were paying Dimitry Orlov $7.75 million I do not care how much we’re paying K’Andre Miller

Wow, huh, so that's an interesting thing to ponder. I can honestly say that right now, I like every one of our guys.

The memes write themselves, don't they? 😂

Great points.

I think like a mama, so I'm most disappointed for Morrow. I feel like we didn't exactly help him along here + don't feel great about his chances for development in NY.

But... 'tis hockey. Onward we go. Pretty happy to have gained KAM.

If Cory says it, I respect it.
So this puts me at ease about losing Morrow.

Okay, losing Morrow to the Rags is like, not cool at all. I guess if we HAVE to see one of our guys in their sweater, he hurts least but I still don't really like this.

Meh. #raiseup

Hot damn. No lies. This'll be fun.

Ah. Gotcha.
