Haphazard maybe. I don’t think it’s laziness. I think he’s just trying not to do what he did last year and physically burn(no pun intended) out by the end of the season. 

Agreed he's almost 39 years old he's averaging almost 3 less mpg, this season (understandable seeing we want him good to go for the playoffs) and the fact that our second and third pairing (especially now that chat and Orlov have chemistry) would be #1 pairs in half the NHL.

Last night's game in Philadelphia, on ESPN+ with who-the-fug-ever those announcers were might have been the worst game, from a broadcast perspective, I've ever had to endure.

Having to sit through that was like being forced to watch a Panther game from the owner's box.... with him in it.

Watching that game and hearing the announcers was as bad as the network NFL announcers continuing to tell us to give Young a chance and, for all intents and purposes, begging viewers to keep the channel tuned in so they can make their ad revenue, regardless how bad the product is.

Having to listen to those announcers last night was like having to listen to Frank Reich telling everyone every week, "Trust the process."

Obviously you’ve never heard an ESPN hockey game with Leah Hextall doing the playcall. A sing songy irritating voice like scratching on a chalkboard. I had to mute it.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      ESPN’s Benjamin Solak on Panthers LT

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
