Would really like to see Archibald get a spot in the lineup one of these nights. Especially against a team where his speed would be beneficial.

The best player in the world vs. the second best player in the world.

Now it's Murray and DeSmith.

Going forward we'll likely find a veteran backup...McIlhenney, Hutchinson, Ward with retention maybe, etc. unless DeSmith proves capable...seems good in first years...All-Rookie Team at UNH, All-Rookie Team in the American League...

I love that 'Nermal' is catching.

We have three great young goalies, but no veterans. Someone will probably be brought in

If you remove McDavid, the Oil might be the slowest team in the league

this year...

Reaves shrugs while being hugged by dummy Nurse...haha

Dumb fight, Nurse. Just embarrass yourself against a man-child

Postby **columbia** » Tue Oct 24, 2017 7:26 pm

Unfun fight

Ok, I'm going to try and update something small. Nothing should go down, just a heads up if you see a color change.

Rust has to simplify a bit
