Love the Xhekaj take. More defence men should emulated Brent Burns over Al MacInnes.

Do you really think Trump cares if some hockey fans boo the anthem? If anything, he’d be happy with it. Helps him reinforce his nationalism with his MAGA base.

Caufield-Suzki-Slafkovsky
Dach-Malkin-Laine

Then when Demidov arrives, the 3rd line becomes:
Roy-Dach-Newhook (who many thought were going to be the 2nd line this year). Demidov goes into the top 6 with Malkin, making his transition easier.

No.

Belleville losing the Bulls was a real shame. Hopefully they are a top priority for the expansion.

Current: Richie Faulkner.
All-time: Eddie Van Halen.

Do you think Dach will round into form in the second half, or are we talking about next year before he’s ready to be a factor in the top six?

How do you feel about the constant line juggling lately? I’d like to see the first line put back together and Dach & Newhook on the second line with a placeholder for Laine.

“Blunt reality”. Good one.

Hoping this is less toxic than X, but we’ll see.
