  1. Seems like Twitter is down right now but Plante had a natural hat trick (and a five minute major for boarding!) last night, he leads the NCAA with 26 points in 15 games so far this season (13 goals, 13 assists). https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldogs-hockey/max-plante-gets-hat-trick-to-lead-umd-to-victory Bear seems to be heating up after getting his groove back, 2 goals and an assist for him last night.
  2. No it does not, before this season Cossa was a better prospect than Wallstedt based on their body of AHL work to date. Wallstedt has largely looked not good before this season from what I've seen. I don't see much value in making sweeping generalizations about drafting or development based on either the past AHL seasons or 7 NHL games this season. Is it possible that Wallstedt ends up being better than Cossa? Ya for sure, and he's looked good so far this season. But goalies are strange and it is 7 whole games.
  3. Cossa was up and down at the back half of the last AHL season, so it was tough to give him any sort of guarantee in the NHL this season especially with Talbot being old/an injury risk. Fans especially seem to want the team to make the playoffs so it would have been a pretty volatile tandem with that in mind. Goalies usually take time, I'm not personally worried with his timeline so far especially with him playing very well in Grand Rapids so far this season. Askarov was a better prospect than him and drafted a season earlier, and he's just having his NHL breakout right now. I suspect we'll see Cossa at points this season honestly but I'm personally not concerned he isn't in the NHL at the moment. If he keeps up his play I don't see how they don't give him a look some time this season.
  4. Wow I must really not pay close attention to the NBA, I thought the Lowe proposal was some sort of joke I didn't get, and then I got to the Mitchell trade. I had no idea NBA teams were including that many first round picks in single trades, wild!
  5. Gibson used to be really good on some bad Ducks teams so I was hoping he'd be used to a sub-par defense in front of him. I do think he's having a lot of bad puck luck but he also isn't making many big saves and certainly isn't stealing any games. It's a shame he doesn't seem to have a ton left in the tank but I appreciate the swing by the Wings, there weren't many options out there. I turned the game off when they went down 2-0 last night, they looked really bad.
  6. I hope Eddie can make the NHL just because he seems like he'd be fun to watch at the very least
  7. Not a big Craig Button fan myself honestly.
  8. It does help when only 1 team in the Atlantic has a positive goal differential and it is only +3
  9. I don't blame anyone for expecting a collapse but I'm just trying to enjoy the wins while I can! Hopefully something is different with a full season of Toddfather.
  10. My guess is bigger + working on playing center in the AHL against adults, but I think he's a winger in the NHL anyways. I'd love for him to get a shot now on the wing to see if his creativity could spark some more offense for the Wings but I have no idea what the plan is really. He's looked pretty good in Grand Rapids so far to me.
  11. This line looked good in preseason edit: total brainfart Finnie wasn't with them (I think it was Lombardi?), look upon my post with shame
  12. I wish I could give this more than one reaction! I thought I was taking crazy pills talking with Leafs fans.
  13. The hater in me is loving this season from the Leafs so far. I had a couple buddies who were acting like they were Cup bound with the moves they made.
  14. 600 career points for Larkin as he gets an empty net goal to ice the game
  15. Finnie from Danielson on the power play! The future is bright!
  16. never mind that's offsides, cmon finnie, this is brutal because he could have easily straddled the line with the route he took
  17. Nooooooo they're challenging it for offsides we need the rule of cool Huh it looked fine to me but tough with the angle and the puck in the air
  18. DANIELSON AGAIN!!! Steals the puck and dekes Daccord for his second!
  19. Danielson first of his career! He was first in on the forecheck then got to the front of the net, shot from ASP went in off his shin. 2-1 Wings after Raymond tied it up.
  20. I wasn't sure if there was a way to keep it from appearing in the Unread Content search in addition to hiding that on the front page. The real answer is I should just ignore it but I read the post preview and can't help myself but click in sometimes!
  21. If you figure it out please let me know. I thought blocking certain users would help but you still see their avatar and when they post, plus when people quote.
  22. I was making a joke reference to him turning a blind eye to his video coach sexually assaulting his players. I'm personally unwilling to give Q the benefit of any doubt, he's always been this way.
