@Smitty1915 @TuskedUp I think they'll trade for center depth during the season. As you alluded to, they've got 5 guys who can play the position, but with injuries I'd love one more option. I'm interested to see what they add at Hershey in terms of vets.

@Smitty1915 @chrisjenksSSD I mean "like' in that sentence is plain wrong. I think you mean you can stand them more than U of A. ;)

[Carl Putnam @CarlPutnam]

@Smitty1915 @chrisjenksSSD As is your right. Now if you told me you were pulling for the Penguins...

[Carl Putnam @CarlPutnam]

@chrisjenksSSD @Smitty1915 No question. I have different feelings about El Tri than I do about U of A. And Sark plays a brand of football that is watchable.

@Smitty1915 @chrisjenksSSD Normally I might agree, but Tuchel's brand of dreadfully boring soccer needs to die at altitude.

I am psyched that Game Changers has done so well too. It just don't get how at this point someone, especially in hockey, can be so unaware of the Yarros phenomenon. Probably speaks to how fractured our society has become and a few other things.

The Empyrean series already did this. And it's written by a hockey fan to boot.

If anything can bring back lining up at the bookstore at midnight to get the first copies …

For those who endured Saturday’s fiasco but couldn’t make it back for Sunday’s continuation, their trip to Bristol Motor Speedway amounted to watching a Tim McGraw concert and some damp fireworks... courtesy of a relentless downpour.

@Mike_Rooney @KUBaseball @ASU_Baseball Bummed I missed you. We were just down the road at a sold out Farrington watching ASU softball.

I need everyone to realize how unique this is.

This is also just the fourth time since 99-00 that a major conference has had two teams play a winner take all game on the last game of regular season.

@UnleashTheFury Probably hanging out with Makenzie Blackwood throwing darts at pictures of Hockey Canada brain trust.

@CraigSMorgan @CoyotesAvs12 @LukeLapinski I think of Luke and smile every time Big Willy Style scores. I smile even wider when looking at the NHL standings.

@jeffmetcalfe And staying out of jail & enriching himself. He's finally the mafia don Roy Cohn taught him to be.

@ScottyHockey They've already has a pro team in Rio Rancho before. Not sure why this was worded this way. It should be "...coming back to New Mexico."

[Carl Putnam @CarlPutnam]

@B_Murdock1320 @CraigSMorgan What Brett said. Not a great night if you like smart, disciplined hockey. Both teams doing a lit of dumb stuff.

🔱 1 passing touchdown

Arizona State legend.

@Smitty1915 I'm starting to really get concerned about Elias. And given my dislike of the Dbacks I'm really not happy today.
