you wouldnt trade cossa for quinn hughes? youre drunk. its always good to have as many great players as possible, including goalie if you can. but you do not need a great goalie to win a stanley cup. ask chris osgood. or igor shesterkin. or connor hellebuyck.

would you have included cossa in a hughes trade? what about rasmus andersson?

fortunately, the red wings are blessed with two goalie prospects. what they lack is a young, second line defenseman. so go get one that wont cost you your second best player (edvinsson). also, goalies are notoriously fickle. dont assume cossa will be ken dryden. he could be devin levi.

my daughter gets bombarded from u of c too. i tell her not to bother. nyu, amherst, tulane. all sorts of places she'll never get into send her stuff in order to get her to apply simply so they can reject her and improve their stats. its almost as garbage a manuever as the "early decision" bull**** they pull now. i cant stand trump, but part of me smiled a bit when he went after the universities. theyve forgotten a lot of their mission: educate. so much now seems to be about money to pay the administrators and the assistant to the assistant provost for diversity in the dental school. that and the RIDICULOUS amenities they provide. i've never seen so many climbing walls and hot tubs in my life! is this a university or a 4 year summer camp? /rant

i dont think those schools will survive. last year's high school class was the biggest in history, apres ca, le deluge. the demographic cliff is here. michigan will be fine. but central, and northern and schools like that will find themselves without students. those who can will end up at michigan, state, amd western. my oldest is a junior and looking at schools. my youngest will likely have it much easier because there will be fewer kids applying.

brandon ingram? i'd take duren over him for the all star team.

or you could offer up cossa for a player who might help you get over the hump in a winnable east, like rasmus anderson or justin tuch... /ducks (and i dont think calgary or buffalo would do that trade without picks, but just sayin...)

maybe. Those southern schools are giving a lot of tuition discounts to northern kids. alabama takes a lot of kids from chicago by offering them in-state tuition. that means a lot when places like michigan and wisconsin are charging unbelieveable amounts for out of state tuition. when i went to illinois law school out of state in 1998, tuition was $18k per year. its now over $60k. michigan all in out of state is almost $90k for undergrad. illinois in state is almost $40k and they give you nothing. suddenly $20k from alabama or lsu doesnt look so bad... applications are up all over the place too. the common app makes it much easier to apply to multiple schools.

they have one shooter on the whole team.

youre so obsessed with michigan.

football and men's basketball are profitable (at michigan). every other sport is not. that's the problem now for the schools. how do i pay for women's sports?

no.

the wings are one team that should never mess with their uniforms. tigers too.

dont worry hongbit, michigan's money train - and usc's - will keep on rolling just fine. lsu already has a $30 million budget. the money game will continue, no "clearinghouse" will stop it or even slow it down.

suck it, leafs.

as someone who has been to orlando for work quite often, i disagree with that assessment.

i've been saying this for a while, but how long until they challenge all ghe eligibility rules? do they even need to be enrolled in school? cant they go to the nba and then come back? its truly minor league sports. as cardale jones once eloquently put it: " they aint there to play school."

ok, you're wrong too.

no, i dont think teams "get up" for the pistons. and i dont think there is any evidence that they do. its a throwaway excuse line from greg kelser. the same man who would get irrationally excited when the pistons cut the lead to 28.

welp, carolina has been a bad matchup for detroit for a while.

i think youre dead wrong and there is no evidence for that.

sure, because that was the two iconic franchises in league history who also happened to be competing for championships. if you think fans in other cities view the pistons in the same regard, you need to get out more.

that sounds like the kind of homer comment i have come to expect from kelser.

the pistons should attempt yo play hard before the 4th quarter. also, cant win em all. especially when you give crunch time minutes to CARIS LAVERT.
