Skinner looks like he’s fighting the puck tonight.

And strangely it happens. ANA and CBJ each had better odds.

Crap; hard to read. You asked.

Anyone notice ESPN/Weeks announced CBJ at 3 before Bill Daily did? Happened just as they went to commercial before announcing the top three draft picks order. Only the top three picks didn’t go chalk. 1-2-3 became 3-1-2 … and Bedard goes to Chicago market, not Anaheim or Columbus, … how fortunate for the league …

Schloss sees some serious minute eaters (Pyke, Pehrson). That leaves four slots. Figure Zmolek is one. That leaves three. Based on age and accolades, Wiebe. Now two for Benoit, Livanavage, and Komzak. (And that's just seven D.) Strathmann creates a log jam for minutes. If he's talking a USHL season to focus on defense and come in 2024, yes please.

Schloss thinks ... older ...

Someone check on @bale31 ...

Why is EDM having any success? Evander Kane and Zach Hyman. Dirty areas. That and an ice-presence D in Ekholm. SEA looks like they're playing a full-attack 2-1-2 or dare I say torpedo with the constant two-man pressure.

No. Poaching. No. Tampering. Do unto others as you would have ... I see good options in the portal (and pipeline). I can't figure out what they are looking for in an 8D. Are they looking for a "suit". Are they looking for insurance if Zmolek's hip isn't right? Are they looking "rental" (one year) or investment. About all I can say about 8D is it's more important to finalize than a theoretical 16F.

Tear it down; use the parts to establish a credible defense. But they won't. They'll take one more kick next season. They'll wait until both Matthews and Marner are UFA. And they'll have $33+M in three guys (about $40M in four) and have no supporting cast ... again. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/mapleleafs

Bast, Wellens, Duluth. Meh. Rather talk about an 8th D and a 16th F if that's the route Bubs et al plans.

Small town "Dollah G" rock! Pull up to door, walk in to ice cream cooler by door, Klondike bar! Back on the road.

Pipeline ...

Clearly happenstance ...

Yes, and McIntosh played on Alvarez's Rose Bowl teams. After that McIntosh worked for Alvarex in Athletics. McIntosh learned from Alvarez. https://apnews.com/article/seattle-seahawks-wisconsin-college-football-nfl-sports-88b2c788eb774d0abb76a0d4e3dbb6b4

Correct. When Augie finally realized they didn't have the gusto for DI they went with the NSIC/hockey model ala UMD/BSU/SCSU/MSU-M.

You had the answer before the question.

Bob is finally playing like a $7 million goalie ... what's that ... he makes WHAT? Bob should be doing this at minimum.

North Dakota Yoda says about Alvarez and Wisconsin ...

If he wasn't healthy, if he had the effects of a lingering injury, the alternative to sit him is play him and risk worse injury and longer recovery. Damned if ya do, ...

PORTAL LEADS TO PUNCHES? Report: Lobby encounter ends in swing or shove That's the real head and subhead.

Can ya tell me who and which team?
