Lotto luck smile upon us so we can draft Michael Misa...he is EXACTLY what we need. Heck..even Caleb Desnoyers would work. Grab Finnie's Kamloops running mate Behm in the 2nd rd...or maybe spend some draft capital to move back into the 1st round to grad LD KaShawn Aitcheson..a Dman with some skill and a physical edge
In my 20s I had a lot of people tell me I looked like Gibby. It's tough to see him struggling because he was my doppelganger of sorts.
In my late 30's people started telling me I looked like David Wells. That was wake up call to drop a few...dozen..pounds
Per the Free Press...Gibby is stepping away from broadcasting to focus on his health. It's a shame.. At times he was difficult (not ancient **** Clark counting down to New Years difficult tho) to listen to, but I enjoyed hearing his perspective
Damn...Junior Bridgeman died.. One of the key pieces in the trade that brought Kareem to LA. Quality sixth man who's business acumen built a billion dollar net worth
Marco Kasper is making a case to be the 2C we've searched for since Filppula left for FA. Steven Weiss...Frans Nielsen..Copp...Compher...none of them lived up to their billing. Kasper could be the man
Those were some tough, tough years for hockey in Detroit...every time they started making headway they'd do something stupid ...like trading Mike Foligno or Murray Craven (for one year of a shot Daryl Sittler) or signing Rogie Vachon as a FA...a move that eventually cost them 1st round picks in 1980 and 1981 and then flipping picks with Minnesota so they could draft Brian Bellows while we got the pick that became Craven and the drugged out Don Murdoch who played a half a season in Detroit.
It was a never ending nightmare that didn't start to abate until Yzerman hit town and the drafting improved
Hate to be contrarian...but I think it's a wee bit early to say definitively what you have with either player or how they could fit together going forward. They're both talented players...good teams keep talented players. Plus...you have 144 minutes of basketball across the 3-4-5, that's a lot of minutes to spread around.
Duren has gotten better defensively this year..he's not Stew at the rim, but who is? I like what he brings to the table offensively ....he's got a decent handle and can pass the ball, plus he's got an undeniable chemistry with Cade.
