Sometimes I go back into GDT's from a few years ago just to remind myself what the lineup was like back then. I usually need Pepto-Bismol afterwards.

Don't know where else to put this but here's a heads up on Westgate's new parking policy: Westgate Entertainment District : Parking

TLDR version: $10 to park at Westgate on event days (starting a few hours before the start time and ending 30 minutes after) but you get a $10 voucher to use at many of the restaurants and shops at Westgate.

Smart move.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Interested to see if that parking policy affects the South side of Tanger. Those of us who scramble to make games on time wouldn't find the voucher an incentive, unless if that voucher doesn't have to be used that day.

Disclosure: I've never paid to park at Westgate. If I feel like parking close I park in the Renaissance garage. Premium egress to the 101 south.

That's a good point and I didn't think about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was only valid for that day, but it could be used after the game instead of before it instead, perhaps. Of course, that personally wouldn't have helped me back when I had season tickets and was living in Mesa because I worked at 7 or 8 the next morning (call center job, hours were based on assuming DST, hence Arizona workers had their work hours change by an hour when DST started or ended) so I didn't necessarily want to stick around after a game.

Disagree. Roenick was the best we ever had but the guys behind him aren't in the same class imo. The other one maybe if Kolanos didn't get his brains scrambled. I'm talking 4 deep now and overall talent. We have a 24 year old 30 goal scorer, a consistent 50 point 2-way, a 22 year old 2-way with lots of growth potential and a 20 year old #3 overall pick that's dominated at ever level except the NHL.

96-97
Roenick 72GP 29g 69P
Janney 77GP 53P
Ronning 69GP 19G 51P

They all topped 50pts the next year as well.

Ronning and Janney were both legitimate 2C options. Neither Galchenyuk or Stepan are as good as Roenick. Stepan is definitely better than Janney. Give me Ronning over Dvorak until Dvorak shows more. Corkum was better than peak Richardson.

Could our current group surpass that? Yeah, if everything goes exceptionally. Have they? No.

Definitely beats weed-whacking.....

Production quality was pretty good in that video.

"There's a coyote in all of us." Is that the marketing slogan for this season?

I'm pretty sure it's "Our Pack".

That's a really smart video by the marketing team. Integrating the boom in youth hockey here and tying it to the team is a great thing to get more kids excited about hockey. I'd like to see them air that on TV

This season is arguably more impressive as that's pretty close to the low end of the DPE scoring levels.

Him saying that doesn't really surprise me so far based on what has happened. Good for them making a push for those spots!

 

[Mosby]

I like the separation. Gotta think the guys in Group B all go next cut.

 

[TheLegend]

Tocchet wants to be down to his roster plus 3-4 extras with two pre season games remaining.

 

[SpaceCoyote]

Don't know if I heard this, is Nick Merkley injured? Just noticing he is not in the lineups but he was on the training camp roster.

EDIT: Found it, still rehabing from knee surgery. Wonder what his time table is.

Hasn't he been injured every years since like the year before his draft year? You see clips of his play and get excited then realize he's out again.

 

[moosemeister]

It’s rare when he’s healthy

Michael Bunting was waived this morning.

 

[Mosby]

Should clear I think. He's gotta get through waivers to get to the A.

Sort of figured that. Funny I didn’t see any official notice though. He was on the list posted by the NHL beat guy in Montreal.

good

I'm sure those in the other teams who decides this not is affected by our comments here, but I think the right plan should be to only talk warmly about players on waivers if you hope someone will grab them.
