Man Jude Bellingham is a BEAST out there.

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

oh my god, soccer players, STAND UP.

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@BigBadBsMemes The Campbell lore alone would be the death of them.

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@BOSBruinsHC Brad: the gif that keeps on giving.

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@Frisbob From what I can tell, he was probably correct. A team made an offer to Mintyukov, who didn't sign it (that's what pending offer sheet meant in his original tweet I think). Mintyukov wanted to stay in Anaheim so he used the offer sheet as leverage to get a deal done.

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@bearmandrysdale @heyashtweeted yep!

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@_katecarr @etoilesvol oh look, PP has slotted Minty in there with the offer/offer sheet, so they're conditionally up to six now!

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@etoilesvol @_katecarr they have prospects, but none who are signed to an NHL contract/eligible to play NHL games right now. I'm sure they could fix that before September, but right now? FIVE. FIVE DMEN.

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@_katecarr @etoilesvol and one of 'em is on a two-way!

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@DR3Wheels I think someone needs to check on the r/anaheimducks subreddit, they were already crashing out in epic fashion, and now this?

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

I need to know who dropped the offer sheet, so I can send that team a fruit basket. That's way over what the estimates were.

Hearing Pavel Mintyukov and the Anaheim Ducks are getting an extension done.

It will be in the Brandt Clarke range, which is 5 x $7.4M

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@_katecarr @FlyersNation girl they have FIVE rostered defensemen right now, that's absolutely bonkers. this has not been a good weekend for Verbeek

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@Flyers_Clips I can't tell if this is strategic arb or classic 'let us battle to the death over $300k AAV" arb, and frankly it's a little concerning.

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

oh, boy.

@StubbyMuffin truly the start of a beautiful relationship.🥹

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@briedidntask yeah this made me chuckle, this one's very funny

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@bucksnoopy I get the feeling they're also skimming over their "grammar checking" use, where that's shorthand for "using AI to write my sentences with correct grammar."

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

This is true and common, but also, in more than a few of these cases, can we have a higher standard for jokes, please? Like, just saying something dumb and/or wrong isn't really a joke. It has to actually be funny. If it's not, people are just going to think you're an idiot.

[ei 🪸 @mc71esbian]

a lot of u on hockeytwt will believe a woman is an idiot before u let urselves consider she is joking #examinethis please

I know in my heart he's going to drag this out to the last second of the last minute of the seventh day, but god, it's annoying.

[Dyl, Not Dill @dyl_notdill]

Good morning Flyers fans, we are on day 3 of 7 in the Leo Carlsson offer sheet saga.

Pat Verbeek so far is not a man of his word

[sKate @blockersidehigh]

@etoilesvol no, like I'm chewing my fingernails over here
