Dion Phaneuf was incredibly good on the #Sens during that ECF run ngl.
Him and @MarcMethot3 laying down the thunder on a nightly basis must’ve been a terrifying sight for the opposing team.
Pierre Dorion turned an unwinnable situation with Alex DeBrincat into:
-Vladimir Tarasenko (Cup champ, 4X all star, multi 30 goal scorer)
-Dominik Kubalik (former 30 goal scorer, consistent 20 goal scorer)
&
-A first and fourth round pick + prospect Donovan Sebrango
For someone who had no leverage whatsoever throughout this fiasco, this is outstanding work by the #Sens GM.
Ottawa not only has gotten stronger and more efficient throughout their forward corps for cheaper, they as well haven’t tied themselves to any new longterm contracts, paving the way for Jake Sanderson to get his bag before next off-season.
Say what you will about PD, he turned an unwinnable situation into a win somehow. That’s great management. Kudos to him.
A Little League baseball organization in New Jersey has implemented a new rule:
Any parent that argues with an umpire has to volunteer as an umpire for three games before being allowed back as a spectator.
That is a FANTASTIC rule 👏

who art in Kanata
Hallowed be thy games (in hand)
Thy deadline come
Trades will be done
By buyers as well as sellers
Give us this day our top-4 D
And forgive us our Zaitsevs
As we forgive those who Stepan against us
Lead us not into Parayko
But deliver us from Myers
