Whew...grab some drinks, boys...maybe take a shift off...teabag a bucket of cold water or something...

It's a nice Friday afternoon and we're cornering the market on 4th liners...no need to be so ornery...

Jim goes to PF Changs

Because I know you're talking about me without outwardly saying it. You do this all the **** time.

Take that **** back to LGP, you miserable ****.

Ha, no I really don't. That's hysterical though.

I might talk about people making moronic comments, but I rarely look at who is saying what... so unless you are admitting that you make moronic comments "all the time" and therefore my comments are directed at you "all the time"... You know, admitting your problems is the first step.

Any who is whining like a miserable four stars? Thinking that everything is about them? That's you.

When are you going to stop calling me "Barney"?
When you stop being a "Barney", Barney.

"...which is me. I'm the coach. No, just kidding, it's Mike Sullivan...also a 4th liner..."

It has been a while since we had a crash course in what's an energy player vs what's a defensive player vs what's a two-way player...these are not the same things.

Jordan Staal = two-way player, now probably just a defensive player
Teodors Blugers = defensive player
Evan Rodrigues = energy player
Tyler Kennedy = energy player
Brandon Tanev = defensive player, albeit energetic

Postby **King Colby** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:47 pm

Lafferty displayed some moments of offensive skill last season that makes me think he could be more than a ham n egger energy guy. Tanev can be the third component of a 3rd scoring line if the other two guys are... well different than anyone on this roster.

From what I've gathered Jankowski falls into "defensive player" but maybe still has some offensive upside that can be tapped into if his shooting % moves back toward his average, is that fair?

He really fought the puck this year...I'm gonna go back and watch a couple games (well, I'll probably have time for about 40 of them because these are his times during Bubble Bobble...

0:00
0:00
10:05
10:04
9:19
7:29
zero
zilch
nada
7:10

and before the break: 5:56, 10:25, 10:13...

So we'll see...he had an ok shot I thought as a rookie...but I think he went to the Brandon Sutter school of passing...

I've seen that name out there, but I'd be lying if I said I knew who Josh Currie is...I'll watch some tape...him I might not get to til Sunday or Monday depending on how my evening goes...

Postby **MR25** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 3:59 pm

Sounds more like an A signing. I think he's scored 20+ in the past 4 seasons in the A.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 4:02 pm

Definitely an A signing. Dude has 21 games of NHL experience. Also correct on the goal scoring in the A

Give me Jumbo

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 4:10 pm

Pass on Jumbo

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 4:32 pm

I don't know if this is out there or not...but I think he's probably more of a trade deadline signing...I think he's gonna play the season out in Switzerland and then kind of judge things from there...

Obviously, that's not a lock...but he came up in a conversation I was having a couple weeks ago and that was the word...

Postby **meow** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 4:57 pm

You guys know what I’d do if we got Jumbo

I thought Rutherford said he'd wait a couple of days to sign any UFAs? I guess he forgot...

Postby **Jim** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 5:03 pm

Thornton and resign Marleau...

Not directing this at anyone specifically, because we want to avoid getting panties in a bunch and feeling getting hurt... Millennial whiny ass dodints... but people need to stop listening to what Rutherford says. He talks, a lot, but doesn't actually say anything.

(yeah, that one was directed squarely at you. (not you DigitalGypsy66))
