1984Echoes

But it certainly seems reasonable. It probably is less than what Ukraine is claiming, but at least a little more than the Russian numbers (simply because of verification lag...). Also, how many Russian soldiers have surrendered? I don't know who to trust with a good number there but... those guys ae no longer in the war either...

That should cap it off. It's about everything we had to trade of value. I like even getting just an extra 4th rounder simply because it allows some maneuverability in the draft to trade a couple picks to move up and get a player we really want... if the need/ opportunity arises. That's probably Namest's trade value, a 4th rounder. But the draft flexibility is the most important issue to me at this point...

Couple bigger guys if they're healthy... 3rd or 4th liners... I like that 2nd rounder in 2023 as well... That's the clincher.

Germany is working its way slowly, ever so slowly, away from its dependence on Russian oil & gas: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/20/germany-gas-deal-qatar-end-energy-dependency-on-russia

If so... good for us.

This part is true though. And Putin certainly straightened that out really quick...

I think the complaint on the 2% was a cover. Trump is an isolationist and truly wants out of NATO, International agreements/ conflicts/ etc... At least that's my opinion...

That's why I said mood... To hear pop greatness (songwriting and clever musical hooks); it's Beatles without peers. To straight up rock, that's Zeppelin. I was born in 1964 and didn't really begin to appreciate music until I was around 12. They were both essentially before my time. But the Beatles swamped the airwaves, as did Zeppelin. When comparing apples with oranges... It depends on whether you feel like eating an apple at the moment... or an orange.

Speaking of which... It's more interesting to listen to his songs as performed by other artists than it is to listen to his own renditions of his songs... And that's a very long list...

Which still doesn't put him very high on the must-listen-to list...

Prove it. Otherwise you're as full of hot air as your idol Trump.

No way. It's between the Beatles and Zep, depending on mood. On some days it's the Beatles. On others Led Zeppelin. The Stones have some really classic songs that are must-listen-to. But so do the Beatles & Zep and to me I listen to almost everything from my top two. I have a 100 favorite Zep songs and 150 favorite Beatles songs... Maybe not that many, but something like that... Dylan? Nice songwriter... but I don't really listen to him, at all. Not zero, but close to it. There are way too many other interesting bands, and way way way more interesting (not even close) than Bob Dylan, even from the same era: The Velvet Underground, Hendrix, The Doors, The Who, Cream, The Small Faces... I'd rather listen to The Yardbirds as well... It's a long, long, long list before I get to Bob Dylan. But that's just me.

The Vax status complicates things, but, we'll see.... If an overpay offer doesn't come until this offseason... I can live with that too...

That would definitely be helpful!

Bullpen.

Plus one more.

Plus one.

Damn. What's his contract? We could trade Greiss for a mid-to-late-round pick. And then pick Mrazek up just to throw at the backup spot. Give him a chance to try and get his mojo back.

I've been against that because I truly believe in Bertuzzi... But I've come around to this (your) way of thinking. If we are offered a heavy overpay... how can Stevie Y say no?

A whole lot more.

He completely rejiggered his swing over the winter. Let's see what happens. He's been falling flat on his face so far in the minors... Not saying it's his last chance... but he was scuffling so bad I don't think he was too much longer for Detroit's farm system... Let's see if he can improve upon that.

Trump wouldn't have done shit with Putin invading Ukraine except cheer him on. He's nothing but a boot-licking full-of-hot-air (actually, horseshit) gasbag that would have bent over for Vladimir. A scumbag fascist, an enemy of Democracy. That's what Trump and his Putin-loving supporters are.

And what will the Red Wings roster look like for this Game? Who will be gone? What rabbit(s) will Stevie Y pull out of his hat? Or, if no rabbits, do we get to see Berggren and/ or McIsaac or Sebrango for quite a few games the rest of the season...?

There's some dystopia included but it doesn't really set the mood as much as the situations/ the action/ and the jazzy music floating over, through and all around those two.
