PK stinks. He adds nothing, but thinks he's someone...he also wants to be an Inside the NBA type, but he's dealing with a square man in Steve Levy or an ass sucker in Buccigross...plus cardboard Messier...

Non-Penguins NHL Games 2023-24

Ref is coming down the wall on the weak side of the play. A good goalie generally won't give up a rebound on a shot into the middle of the chest and the body language is such that you expect the puck to be caught. The direction that it bounces out of Bobrovsky's grasp would be right "behind" the tw...

After all the work Silovs did to keep Vancouver in this one...it's too bad that float-y nothing shot gets through... Oilers actually sacked up though, give them credit. It was pretty one-sided in terms of quality chances... Vancouver regressed to their form in Nashville series with that one, pretty ...

AHL is indeed #2 in the signing category...split up though as "NHL signing from THEIR affiliate" vs "NHL signing from unaffiliated club", it's actually 12 vs 19. The higher total being the unaffiliated route. No on the DEL...but the Czechs are interesting, not high on numbers, but high on efficiency...

Indeed. The nature of the MHL (Rus.

Sure...if you pursue that kind of thing - then ok, rage-bate yourself to your heart's content...but that's not what happened, right?

No on Swiss A (NLA). The relationship between the junior leagues is a little bit interesting actually...perhaps the weakness of the Q has created a situation where it's actually a bit under-scouted at this point... As you'll see below, the QMJHL is actually #2 in the "where were you in your draft ye...

I'm not sure that the emasculation of men thing is just "gay people" stuff... I think it's more the stereotyping of all/many things masculine as toxic...
