The Sicatoka

Sat May 21 the Avs and Blues get the entire stage. Something must be going on in Amilie in Tampa because that's the series that skipped a day (and is going back to back days, 22/23).

OK, so Monday begins with more unsubstantiated rumors about a former player, rumors dealt with before. To repeat, AGAIN, ... Bring substance, proof, a link, a press report, something. Those make a moderator's job easy. Otherwise you are perpetuating a rumor and putting yourself and this forum in jeopardy (think: libel) and leave no choice but to remove such posts. @jimdahl for information

Which works out well for Zane because the Wild are looking at a $12+M cap hit for Suter and Parise. No way they can afford Flower and Talbot.

Patty V of the MVFC on line one ...

First the glacier at CC went away, and now down goes Mariucci! Olympic ice is melting away ...

Ty Farmer: A New Hope (for @geaux_sioux and his fish bowl dream).

Quick reference, right now: Higher seeds leading series: COL v NAS 4-0 (COL advances) TOR v TBL 3-2 CAR v BOS 3-2 FLA v WAS 3-2 CGY v DAL 3-2 Lower seeds leading series: STL v MIN 3-2 LAK v EDM 3-2 PIT v NYR 3-2 COL done in four; everyone else going at least six. And NAS has to decide what to do with Forsberg ... https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/predators

We're off my notions completely with two "rentals". I still believe Kleven is gone after 2022-23. The best case becomes Johnson, Bast, Frisch plays a Covid season, and Moore stays and four unknowns (freshmen and portals). My worst case becomes ... Johnson, Bast, and six unknowns (freshmen and portals).

... and a fish bowl ... amIright @geaux_sioux?

We'll find one if it keeps PK minutes off key guys (meaning offensively on the back end).

Neuroscience and Economics ... talk about peas and lug nuts. Not sure how those go together. Is he coming for grad classes at Med School, or MBA, ... or both.

More ridiculous than a 1C/5A scenario? CC this year with 3C/0A. Would they go 1C/2A (Senden, Hain, Frisch) and would that be some sort of tell to 2023-24 season? Would they go 1C/3A (above plus Jamernik) and would that be a different tell? Would they go 1C/5A like 2016? (And which five? Hain and Frisch are the gimmes.) Oh the many questions of the off season ...

I'm also tracking "UND" (Forbort, Stecher, Jost, Oshie). Two D, so double those points to make four D. Two F, so triple those points to make six F. (0+4)*2 = 8 (0+4)*3 = 12 Total = 20 <-- they're doing worse than me! ...

Quick reference, right now: Higher seeds leading series: COL v NAS 4-0 (COL advances) TOR v TBL 3-2 CAR v BOS 3-2 Lower seeds leading series: STL v MIN 3-2 LAK v EDM 3-2 PIT v NYR 3-1 (1) FLA and (WC2) WAS tied 2-2 (1) CGY and (WC1) DAL tied 2-2

Does that machine fill them, ... or make them?

Indeed. Skokna, Mitchell, Ziebarth, Smith, Pride seems one injury away from being short-handed. Hoosman adds the missing depth, with some good skills.
