did he steal those toys from his 15 year old "friends?"

normally i would assume keith gave is supporting mcclellan because mclellan is giving him information, but gave is retired, right? maybe larkin talks to him still. he's right to call out yzerman. its just the same stuff we've all been saying for the last couple of years, but some of us (me) gave yzerman a long leash until this year's collapse finally pushed everyone over rhe edge. what did we say last year: why is rasmussen still on this team? kane was "fine", but is he a guy busting his ass every night? compher is everyone's whipping boy. copp has disappeared. jvr and appleton are depth passengers. they have been very conservative.

keith gave coming out strong!

raymond is small and young. larkin is old and has been injured quite a bit in his career. it could just be bad luck and not because yzerman doesnt know what he's doing.

them being injured makes more sense. but then that is a problem because its two years in a row they've both been hurt at the end of the year. bad luck? or too small? who would stoney have gotten that info from? yzerman is notoriously tight lipped. if its true, it tells you everyone else sees him as a 3C just like a lot of draft experts did when he came out.

derozan was a sign and trade but that's kind of a free agent signing. ben wallace? carlos boozer?

the subaru driving population in chicago will be devastated.

lol. the university that brought you the bill belichick disaster decide to hire another pro guy to lead a college team. not sure what's going at unc.

time to bump billy donovan upstairs. that would be the easieat thing to do, so that's likely what the bulls will do.

bottom line is that having six picks in round 2 in 2019 and 2020 have netted you almost nothing. that should be the foundation of depth for this squad or dealt to provide depth. the time for blaming kenny is running out.

he's been drafting all work ethic players since kasper. kasper, mbn, bear, genborg. they OVERDRAFT that "type" of player. bringing in chairot was to get that type of player. edvinsson and seider are huge and both are physical. faulk is huge. he has been trying to accumulate big physical players. i'm not sure that's the ultimate problem. extending ras seemed like a decent idea at the time because he was ao cheap and coming off the best two months of his career. didnt work out. copp males sense as line 2/3c. compher makes no sense and never did. at the end of the day, line one has to be better. raymond, larkin, debrincat, and to a lesser extent kane are your offensive skill players and they have let the team down in march/april two years in a row (except debrincat). and the fact that they need to rely on kane so much just tells you how desperate they are for high end offensive talent. kasper, asp, and danielson were drafted to be those types of players and provide that offense and they havent done it yet. raymond and larkin are paid to be those players and they havent done **** down the stretch. look at those two for the reason the team cant score in a whorehouse with a thousand dollar bill tied to their faces.

bingo

buff, in shape luka didnt last very long...

cossa's been crap in grand rapids. be better. that's what he has to do.

i want a book of 84lives posts put into haiku form.
