@TaggReturns@m_bultman You're absolutely right, I don't remember them because I wasn't alive yet. But I don't think you do either, because you're referring to Yzerman and he was after the Dead Wings era.
@TaggReturns@m_bultman@FriedgeHNIC My favorite rebuttal is "Yzerman was here for 14 years before winning a cup." Larkin has been here for 11 years and they haven't made the playoffs since his rookie year. Yzerman's made the playoffs 12 of 14yrs before winning the cup. Don't blame the captain, blame the GM.
@nolanbianchi Clarification: asked to go to a team with a pro scouting department that the GM actually listens to, instead of one who’s GM thinks he’s a God and can do no wrong. #FuckTheYzerplan
DAMN! Wait till you're in your mid-30's, then you'll have a gambling, drinking, and golfing problem. (And 90% of the time, it's all 3 of those at the same time.)
NEWS: Texas Tech and QB Brendan Sorsby announced today that Sorsby will take an immediate indefinite leave of absence from the football program to enter a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction.
@DetroitOnLion Immediate draft grades are my favorite.
Analyst: "i graded a C"
Q: "why?"
A: "i had someone higher on my board than who they took"
Q: "what's your experience?"
A: "a writer from another state"
Q: "so you did a ton of research on the drafting teams needs?"
A: "but my board"
Congrats to @espn. You guys are killing it tonight. And by killing it, I mean you’re absolute trash because the draft is actually 3 picks ahead of what you’re showing.
I hate when my side hustle (waking up at 4:15am for my job) gets in the way of my main hustle (watching playoff hockey uninterrupted then getting a good night of sleep)
As @Rosenrasande was first to report in Sweden, the #Canucks have indeed fired GM Patrik Allvin. Decision was made following the team’s final game last night.
Every time I update Twitter and see that @PierreVLeBrun or @KevinWeekes tweeted something, I hope to read, “The Red Wings have parted ways with GM Steve Yzerman.”
NEW for @TheAthletic,
The veteran Lightning aren’t ready to pass the baton to the young Habs, Montreal having a chance to send quite a message with an upset series win.
But a poll of coaches and team execs across the NHL certainly still believes strongly in Tampa’s chances to come out of the East.
Looking forward to covering this series! ⤵️
