I watch hockey.

@AStanovich68 Yeah LA Kings make no sense, they filled their roster after dropping by the retirement home earlier in July. You gotta be 33 or older to be added to that roster. They are heading toward a full-blown rebuild.

@moneyjumpin @HockeyyInsiderr 😂

@daniels_bukola Best heavyweights:

1. Usyk (might be recency biasy, but he has unbelievable technique and stamina)
2. Lewis
3. Holyfield
4. Vitali Klitschko

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@Bowiiii @daniels_bukola Lewis is 1 year older than Tyson. Tyson was beating booze bags early on, it was their strategy. Lewis won Vitali Klitschko (who was unbelievably hard nosed), Tyson, Rahman in the rematch, Holyfield, Briggs, Mercer, Morrison, Bruno. Lewis fought all the best and won.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@daniels_bukola Casuals don't know this, but Lewis is 1 year older than Tyson. The "Tyson would have won in his prime" is utter rubbish. Lewis was a the better boxer and is one of the greates heavyweights ever. Tyson is outside Top 5.

@ZarahnStuart @6ErikJohnson @NHL @NHLFlyers That lockerroom cancer shtick people spread is 100 % assinine. He was loved in Montreal lockerroom and he loved it there. He didn't love CBJ, but then again, many don't.

@NoContextBrits ... dick in the stall

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@Brandon266946 @IsleStotle @Ajsoti Look deeper into his analytics or talk with analysts than myself, they'll agree those were his best years.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@_JordanDecker CBJ is a notoriously difficult place to produce points, they've NEVER had a player crack 90. 21-22 & 22-23 Laine was their most productive player, outpacing Gaudreau in 22-23. It's not a team you score a lot in. Fantilli has all the potential to be a point per game player.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@Brandon266946 @IsleStotle @Ajsoti Goals count even if they aren't 5v5. Back then Hellebuyck was not even playing that much btw.

The year he scored 30 goals, was his streakiest year ever. His best years analytically, were 21-22 and 22-23, when he was scoring a point-per-game in CBJ, outscoring Gaudreau in 22-23.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

I think we will be seeing a Patrik Laine signing within a week and it won't be a PTO.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@Brandon266946 @IsleStotle @Ajsoti What are you on about? Laine has a Goals For of 640 and Goals Against of 489.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@tml037 @FutureCanes Hockey players wanna play. Nobody in the lockerroom wants to get paid without doing anything. That's loser mentality and you will never make it anywhere close to NHL with that kind of a mindset.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@ICdave I've seen this clip so many times, can't believe it's been 10 years.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@Brandon266946 @IsleStotle @Ajsoti Well, 30 NHL teams would've. Plenty of offensive stars in NHL who don't play a lick of defense, the GMs aren't thinking about that. They are thinking if it's possible to get a healthy Laine.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@IsleStotle @Ajsoti @Brandon266946

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@Brandon266946 @IsleStotle @Ajsoti Patrik Kane hasn't played a single minute of defense or "2 way hockey" in his career. would you have takes him 5 years ago?

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@BigCeaz @alergictocheese damn, was hoping to stream it

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@NHLRumourReport This is the important part "I don’t believe the Islanders were willing, or are willing, to offer Laine anything more than a [PTO]".
=> He is speculating, telling his uneducated opinion, he has no source or clue.

[Mike @mmmthatsright3]

@heyimfabz How do you know that no team has offered him anything? He might have turned it down or he might still be thinking about his destination. You don't think Tarasenko or Tolvanen have gotten offers? They are also without a team.
