It's all those peanuts he ate...

Speaking of which, there's room on the Dodgers bandwagon.

I’ll be cheering for the Tigers and the Phillies. Fuck the Dodgers.

#91, who I think might be Sprong, reminds me of Mason Raymond.

Why?

Looking like a Green camp/preseason.


This is the complete opposite of how they ran the preseason last year. The Canucks came out of the gate screaming hot for once last season. Stumbled the seasons before with running AHL lines to the end. This is the most barren of NHL talent we've seen so far this season.

Here's hoping it doesnt matter once the real games start...

Yeah not a fan of the pre-season approach. I was so happy last year when they got down to business so much earlier.

Doesn’t mean you can’t have roster battles, just play at least a line or two of nhlers. Should also be working on who plays with debrusk, petey, new D pairings, alternatives for third line that won’t be together till Josh is back, etc.

Why?

Skating and stick handling styles, plus he appears to be easily pushed off the puck

“The Bruins have bungled this Swayman situation so badly it's almost comical.”

What a POS organization.

In pre-seasons where they did this in recent years, we always played teams with way more NHLers in the line up. That is a pretty good indication of dragging it on too late... plus they always had poor starts after then later when they got hot mid season, it was too late.

As long as they're practicing with their lineup they expect will start the season, having them throw a mostly AHL lineup save for the last game is fine. The problem with Green and co were that they didn't have a regular lineup until AFTER pre-season was over and didn't practice much with them and they couldn't get chemistry. Not to mention that they were constantly changing lines and making getting chemistry an exercise in futility
