In the early 70s thirty plus year old Ringo Starr had a hit with a song built around the chorus "you're 16, you're beautiful and you're mine". If we're going to talk about the morality of the times...

Debrincat is pretty physical..especially for his size. He stepped to Seider during his Ottawa season. Of course MO just laughed at him...but Debrincat isn't a shrinking violet

Watching last night I honestly didn't know if Kasper was even playing for most of the 1st period. Top line can't disappear if we hope to win

Gotta love an athletic big...

Duren goes off...18 pts 11 rebounds and 6(!) blocks. He's def taken a step fwd this year

I have metal in both arms from an open reduction of a lft humerus fx and a distal bicep tendon rupture in my rt arm..over a decade of nerve damage in both. The nerves...they're such...bastards

The sMax Clark era begins...

Prior to the calf injury...didn't Ausar kinda stumble when he was heading to the basket? That calf might have been an ongoing issue during the game

Ken Szotkiewicz? Or maybe Phil Mankowski...or some other Polish guy

The thing I like about Holland is that he isn't afraid to shoot the ball. The thing I dislike about Holland is he likes to shoot the ball...

Stevie def needs to add at the deadline. Question is who and for how much?

Duren can get to the basket ...would love to see him drive from the high post..easy dunk if no help comes. Dish to the open wing if it does

That alley oop he threw from beyond the ar was amazing

They get all of his 4.75 million...they were only getting $1million in cap relief from him being in the minors. Yzerman has something like 11 million in cap space

Kane got lucky...caught up ice not exactly going hard to get back...Anaheim misses two chances and he gets the breakaway. At least he buried it

Kane largely floated out there today..seen enough of him as well

Bengals cut DT Sheldon Rankins. There's a low cost vet to add interior depth...

Wrestler/actor Kevin Nash said it best "the 15 year old dog in the park is never a great dane"

A waaay long time ago...like 72 or so they had a one on one tournament that they showed at half time of the weekly national games. Bob Lanier won it. https://youtu.be/J3GmOlCQCN0?si=pE7GfEfozTW7437w

I go back a bit...the all star game post NBA/ABA merger in 1977 was awesome. You got to see guys like Dr J and Gervin going against guys like Kareem and Elvin Hayes for the 1st time. That a game from almost 50 years ago is the only all star game I have a clear recollection of says something about the All Star game. Four nations has been fun...but the rest of the laegue's all star formats are lacking. Baseball is OK, but interleague play kinda ruined the mystique of hat one. Football's "all star" game is pretty much dead. Are these games even worth doing these days?

Zabel is viewed as a guy who can ...with some development.. start at C and at the very least fill a role anywhere on the line as a reserve early on. Is that 1st round value? Some say yes...some say no. I would prefer to see and edge or a DT...but won't quibble over an IOL, whether it's Zabel or someone else. Now watch Holmes go out and draft a WR or another CB

I think we take one of three players if we stay put. Grey Zabel, Jack Sawyer or Derrick Harmon

What was really odd about Hamelin was the effect he had on the Tiger's offense the season he was here. I recall the offense being noticeably better after he signed. Why wouldn't you bring him back?

IIRC...There was a conflict or maybe a ceiling leak at the Dome...I think that's the Uof D court they're playing on

Larkin scores!! 2-1 USA
