@spbucher @jpolly22 yes, they are

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@spbucher @jpolly22 The exact same. They could have used them out there in the last 4 mins when they completely collapsed. But let's not make this about something else. MIN was never getting past CO, and especially not without Ek. Congrats? or are you a Kraken fan now?

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@spbucher @jpolly22 You started by saying "worthless" so as long as we can walk that back, I'm content.

I think if we're talking about youth, juniors, college, you're right. But this conversation was about a few generational-best-of-the-best, NHL players, in their prime. No rules apply.

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@spbucher @jpolly22 "after 22 mins" turned into after "after 25" quickly there. Perhaps 34 min last night was too much. But elite d men average 25-29 mins a night, going back to Bobby Orr. You want your best defensemen out there as much as possible. The gap between Makar and Hughes is thin.

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@spbucher @jpolly22 He took MIN from 2.7 gpg to 3.5. PP from 20% to 28%. +33 goal differential since he joined them. Averages 28 min a night. First playoff series win for MIN in 11 yrs. He's second in playoff scoring. Gold medal this year. "Worthless" is a word that should never be used near Hughes.

@paulhockey16 @hailey_salvian Which is more than Calgary has. I’ll take it.

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@paulhockey16 @hailey_salvian Perron is a veteran rental. Kubalik a flyer. Both shrt term deals. The CGY/Tkachuk situation has changed since those signings. And ultimately because his game is one of kind, you have to want him on your team. I think DET is prob done for now, but you never know.

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@paulhockey16 @hailey_salvian I agree that it's unlikely. But I disagree slightly in that I think DETs Cap can actually accommodate him, even with those young deals needed in the next 2-4 yrs. Vrana is another name I could see being in the package back to CGY as well. Overall not likely but fun to imagine.

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@paulhockey16 @hailey_salvian Fair point...I suspended a small bit of reality I suppose by forgetting thats a thing still. I'd rather he stays in DET but he's a valuable piece in this hypothetical equation.

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@MatthewBerryTMR 55 pts needed, full ppr. Opponent done. I have Hurts and Goedert going and one open slot for OBJ, M Sanders, S Michel or D Carter. Who you starting? #help

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

It’s a joke that Michigan isn’t #1. An absolute joke. But we all knew there is an SEC bias. And to be honest Id rather take out both Georgia and Bama. But it still doesn’t mean it wasn’t rigged. Bama looked like trash against Auburn. No way they should have jumped Mich

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@Castellani2014 Spot on! Well said.

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@BigZCards So which one is your favorite?

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@spbucher @NHLBlackhawks Thanks for the hot take here yuh Krak head. How's the goalie and captain situation in Denver going to play out this week?

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@NHL @Sportsnet Has to be "The Magic Man" at 171 @DetroitRedWings

[Scott Cooley @scottycooley]

@spbucher Are you Sean?
