@NHLRussell This is a terrible chart. How can the Canadians be boring with so many last minute victories? And the Islanders are the beacon of fun? This just proves the data sample is too small.

@BrianRaftery @ringer I really enjoyed your podcast series. Thanks for a fun listen that brings back memories of those times (good and bad) and is thought provoking and inspiring.

@mayorNHL Does he play like Dad? What’s the scouting report on him? Looked him up on Elite Prospects and I’m not sure I found the right player but either way it didn’t have a lot on him yet (assuming he’s still very young).

@SeanFennessey I think “Miracle” could have been a contender for great sports movie. Incredible Russell performance, and a hockey movie that is well shot which is hard to do.

We're two and a half hours in and we're only halfway there. Never again.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@NHLRussell I think we draft the talent, but the development is lacking. We put everyone into a defensive structure responsible box.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@kingsofthepod @mayorNHL @LAKings @DennisTFP That’s fantastic! Thank you for the update.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@KingsMenPodcast I couldn’t agree more.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@KingsMenPodcast Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well, I hope you get some relief/answers/etc as soon as possible!

Which fictional TV coach would you rather have (and why)?:

Coach Taylor (Friday Night Lights) or Coach Lasso (Ted Lasso, duh)

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@Eddieonfox Sorry to hear that Eddie… it’s certainly not the way you dreamed it coming to an end I would imagine but I hope that with your podcast, and other interests in life, this is a chance to start something new and exciting.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@TheBannermenPod This is hyperbole, no? I mean, don’t you want someone who will literally try anything to get the best from their team? You can’t say GMRB wasn’t diligent in trying to get the best from this player, and not trying to give him every opportunity possible.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@KingsMenPodcast It was hard NOT to notice him yesterday. Every time he was on the ice he made an impact. I felt the same way (to a slightly lesser degree) about Wright and Greentree too.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@Stackingcake32 @TheBannermenPod Except that a player plays a system. Last year was a first time head coach trying to change everything about the system. The former doesn’t reflect the latter.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@TheBannermenPod That’s a fair consideration. But we added a 2nd round pick this year by trading back in the 1st, so in some ways we haven’t lost much. I don’t know much about next years draft in comparison to this years but it doesn’t feel like we lost much for potentially high upside.

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@NHLRussell 2nd of the draft. 1st for us!

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@TheBannermenPod That’s how I felt about Cole Hudson being taken by Caps

[The Don @dstroyerofmoons]

@mayorNHL Villardi 2.0? Even if not, I love the pick.
