Still here. Barely.

@EdLawDude I don’t see Nebraska, Michigan, or Georgia giving a “yes” vote to Texas Tech.

So regardless of “couldn’t”, The SEC and B1G “wouldn’t” add Texas Tech.

This is how bad the Sorsby / Texas Tech thing is….

Michigan and Ohio State fans uniting.

[Michigan Metal 〽️ @Metaleka_]

You know what,

@RossBjorkAD just give Ohio State their wins back.

I hate you guys,

but tattoos are minimal compared to spending over $100k on bets for your own sports team.

[JD @JonDrouin]

@JeffVeillette I know they took the so called best year, but yeah. Give me the two combinations of Orr-Chelios and Robinson-Lidstrom going up against elite forwards in a seven game series.

[JD @JonDrouin]

@JeffVeillette I think we are on the same page at Goalie. Hasek is my undisputed #1. Roy is #2, Parent at 3 works for me.

[JD @JonDrouin]

@JeffVeillette I hate Patrick Roy but he’s number 2 in a lot of years over Brodeur. And the defense is cherry picking counting stats. Give me Larry Robinson or Nick Lidstrom (or Chris Chelios) over pretty much everyone except Orr.

@KevinS55978750 @BigGreenPines80 @JFreshHockey Serious question. If he sits out a year and is suspended by the team… does the contract year rollover? If he sat for five years does he really become a free agent?

[JD @JonDrouin]

@LockedOnDevils The general consensus seems to be he’s roughly the 18th to 24th best center. That’s an “average to below average” 1C. But definitely a 1C. He would be an elite 2C. But yeah, there are absurd trade proposals on every side.

[JD @JonDrouin]

@SeanPBali Yzerman does not owe Larkin anything or to accept the list. Once Yzerman has a deal he likes with any team, he asks Larkin, will you waive it for this single team.

Larkin has every right to say no. But then he waits longer.

Rinse, repeat.

@ATRightMovies

[JD @JonDrouin]

@JWMediaDC Why?

(I like both schools but aside from nearness to Atlanta, I see more positives with UNC over GT, and also getting into state of NC instead of GA).

[JD @JonDrouin]

@SeanPBali IIRC Drouin asked for a trade while in the minors. His holdout was an annoyance. If Larkin held out at training camp or gave a Dec 25 deadline…. That will have a massive impact on the team. Could get ugly if he’s not moved quickly.

[JD @JonDrouin]

@SeanPBali I have no comment on the Drouin trade.

@HawkEmDownChris Mark “The Bird” Fidrych

[JD @JonDrouin]

@BeerBaron4life …because he is perfect

[JD @JonDrouin]

@TouchTheBanner The fact that he had (3) separate Hall of Fame Careers is mind blowing.

[JD @JonDrouin]

@BeerBaron4life I was never good at those. Unless the object was to get a depressing ending.

[JD @JonDrouin]

@tsnmike @maburach And most people won’t care. Gamblers will still bet. Office pools will still happen. There is really no need for major power conference schools to be playing the 295th ranked school. Unless it’s an exhibition.
