When does Boston play next? It seems like they haven’t played in a week. Fugging Boston. Them sitting at W10 is really grinding my gears. 

Tomorrow, Edmonton. Then 2 games with Detroit. Hopefully Oilers take ‘em down.

Interesting that NJ is showing Vanacek in net tonight for the Devils facing Montreal at home. Can't confirm, but they're going to start their #2 goalie against the Canes tomorrow?

The Detroit had Boston down 2-0 through half the game and lost 3-2. But, Boston was at home and Detroit was called for twice as many penalties as Boston, although what I saw was at least 3 uncalled penalties on Marchand thru the 1st 2 periods.

NHL officiating is an all-time worst this year.

NHL wants to give Marchand his send off this year. Svech should break his face.

The thing about Boston too is with the metrics. Boston is not that good outside of Ulmark. 

Someone should find a way to track bad penalties in every NHL game and name it the Zebra Effect™️

Subtract that from the gap between your expected vs actual wins/goals stats, and you have the teams' It Factor™️

Wouldn’t be hard, but would require watching every game every night. Could be worth monetizing.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
