He's talking as if they're locked in a playoff spot and playing the young guys is a load management strategy.
He was a legacy hire in Colorado. His kids played for Kelowna. He's in a situation where he has no skin in the game and actually has to prove his worth and he can't do it.
There's just so much potential for insanity. Imagine ol Johnny the Garbage Man from Blackpool hitting a Paul Skenes fastball into the upper deck. For Johnny- Top 5 lifetime achievement.
For Paul Skenes- Personal rock bottom.
I can appreciate a player seizing that opportunity If they're playing/living there. It just sucks that it's at another program's expense when the potential is there to have more competition.
I just feel so bad for a team like Czechia at the WBC. They're out there with an Electrician for a pitcher and a Tax Accountant in centre field and getting demolished.
Then you have Italy;
Jac Caglianone top Royals prospect. Last name checks out
Kyle Teel top White Sox Prospect- Likes pasta?
I mean, Belarus was always the fallback for banned Russian athletes and then they got banned..
So Kirill Kaprizov will lead Uzbekistan to Olympic glory in 2030! You heard it here first 😉
Something similar happened in hockey at the 2018 Olympics. The South Korean team had Americans and Canadians who were living there at the time on their roster.
I think Kazakhstan grants citizenship to North Americans playing for the KHL team.
Vinnie Pasquantino embracing his ancestry 🤣
The Royals front office had a great time last night. Jac Caglianone looks legit!
Being 26 years old and on his 5th org. in 5 years sums up his ability pretty good.
Why do most people assume that any player over 6'3 is:
A.) A physical player
B.) An Enforcer
C.) Effective and competent in both A and B
An oversized AHLer looking completely and totally lost out on the ice the entire game for the possibility of a 10 second rag-dolling with Ridley Greig?
No thanks.
Won something that good you pissed yourself eh?
About 15 years ago, one of the BPs here hosted UFC and Wrestling PPVs, $25 a "ticket". They served pizzas all night, you were on the hook for your own drinks/menu items. It sold out like crazy. Turns out the franchisee was pirating the PPVs and using these events to cook the books. 🤣
In my area, the reception for it was awful for a long time so people just don't bother with it. The people that do have it fall into 3 categories:
Got it as part of some shitty promo when they bought a vehicle.
Professional drivers
Boomers with RVs and Cottages
Because he's under the age of 60 🤣
He's a 30 Point Middle 6 forward. Teams can find that in their farm system or in the free agency market for $2-4 million AAV. The Canucks were lucky to avoid taking a crap contract back.
Teams should follow the KHL when it comes to paying players- Duffel Bags of Cash every Friday, distributed by the owners personal enforcers.
The same thing happened to me with Right Guard! It disappeared from stores completely. My wife came in clutch and stocked up from Amazon. The stockpile is almost gone and it's no longer on Amazon.🫠
Martin Van Buren is the hottest President. 185 years and counting.
100% agree! This teardown will probably go into next offseason. I think there's a certain level of drop-off to be expected, but it's within reason.
That feeling goes away when its established from the get-go that the team is going to be awful and not competitive due to a rebuild.
This year the roof was 90+ points WildCard 2 the floor was 80 points no playoffs. And they're significantly worse than either of those.
Guillaume Brisebois- Has had more chances than Kelloggs has cornflakes.
We'll see a reflection of that in the offers made- conditions on picks, prospects in a similar situation, etc. He'll net solid return but it won't be the king's ransom.
I think a change of scenery returns EP40 to form. Between the injuries, JT Miller feud, inconsistentcy, and Org just being total shitshow, there's too much hanging over him. He'll spend the rest of his days here looking over his shoulder.
David used Cigarettes on Mega Garchomp Z!
Mega Garchomp Z is no longer fucked!
Definitely some volatility in the trade market right now. It's just bizarre to see people gushing over Myers and devastated at the thought of losing him like he's some culture builder. The guy got paid $36 Million to serve pizzas and act as a pylon.
I can't believe we're back at a place where folks are using "Good in the room" to rationalize having shitty players.
I can say with confidence that absolutely nobody in the organization is going to look back and point to Tyler Myers as the catalyst for any future success.
