All reports are indiciating theres not enough time to get him a Visa to play in Canada for games 81 and 82. So, hoping he gets to suit up in the playoffs. Maybe if the Canes get up 3-0 on the Devils?

The hipcheck in this highlight reel is just disgusting, as is the way he can move like that at 6'4", 216.

Glad he's signed, but hard to imagine Rod playing him in the playoffs with no regular season ice time.  I'd love to be wrong about that.

They are going to play him in regular season games. At worst he will play a game or two with the Wolves. The plan is for him to play a game or two and then be ready for the playoffs. Make no mistake,he will see ice time in the playoffs. He's big, fast, can score and plays with a mean streak while being defensively sound. Meaning he's a Brindamour type of player.

It moved.

After watching that video, the thought of Nikishin blasting Tom Wilson into oblivion makes me happy.

I showed my new boss- a Rags fan- that video and he asks who it is. When I told him he said "Fug me. You guys are winning it all this year".

      OTA's

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.

      The running back situation....

      Hinging on Brooks to be our spark...be good if it happens... but not holding my breath....RB next draft. Morgan gambled...it would be a 2 year payoff if thing happened.

      Only way Canales is fired is if we are attrocious everywhere....  defense /special teams and offense..  There are enough "questions" on if BY9 is the guy that ownership wouldn't fire the coach for "just" mid qb play.  Especially with as talented a roster that has played "well enough" to win some tough football games and hang in there against the top tier of the NFL ...(mostly).   Now total team suckage..yeah .. but I don't see that happening.
