WBS signing.

Not for the squad? He could come in handy when playing the Caps.

GMJR already talked him up the other day. He's obsessed with some mythical element that we apparently miss.

It's been our downfall since 2017.

Uh. Hi. Yes. What is a Radim Zohorna?

It's like a big giraffe really...

He's a meaty fella...like 6'6", 230 or so...he plays center in the top Czech League. He's actually pretty close to "getting it" from the looks of it...he knows what to do, he just doesn't quite understand the timing of it. Good wheels for his size. Hands are decent, but I'd like to see him take more to the interior, or at least set up some sort of give n' go scenario...not a killer, but not shy either. He's better than Plotnikov already.

My guess, he starts out slow in the AHL. Catches like 10 points in 14 games at the end of the season. Doesn't get qualified. Goes back to Czech.

He really probably needs just a year of real good NA development before you can really tell if he's gonna get it or not...but this is a tough spot (with and without covid)...he's not terrible, he's just not quite ripe...

I forgot we signed Ceci. Day ruined.

If you had remembered they traded for matheson, your day should have already been previously ruined.

Simon and Johnson are gone...

Simon and Johnson are gone...

And just like that, things are trending upwards.

Seems like I forgot they even restarted the season.

Speaking of Johnson’s, what the **** happened to Adam Johnson? Gone? What an underwhelming signing that ended up being.

Postby **MR25** » Mon Dec 28, 2020 7:55 pm

He went to Europe

Penguin 50th anniversary movie on now. I never get tired of watching it.

I mean, not really... 4 pts in 13 NHL games...useful for three AHL years...good egg...

Nah, the 2019-2020 season ended in March. Not sure what you're talking about

That’s what I thought. Still confused why Horny isn’t an option for a reverse retro jersey.

Oh look, all of sudden the Habs are hot ****.

Postby **King Colby** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 10:32 am

Why would the habs be 65% but Vancouver only 47%

Postby **Trip McNeely** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:27 am

Seems like whoever came up with that really, really likes Canadian teams this year. It’s laughable to think the Pens and the Isles only have a 40 percent chance of making the playoffs

Postby **dodint** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:40 am

How many teams are going from each division? Four? With a Canadian-only division maybe that messes with the numbers. If you toss out Ottawa that's 4/6 making it so that could be why the numbers are so high.

Postby **Gaucho** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:52 am

No need to toss them out, 4 of 7 obviously gives you better odds than 4 of 8.

Postby **dodint** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 11:54 am

They're trash, tho.

Postby **Gaucho** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 12:30 pm

Oh, no doubt.
