So many people are mentally 3 decades behind the modern NHL when it comes to what matters. Maybe in about 20 years they'll catch up to what was obvious to us in 2010 and realize that size isn't everything.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why Frost/Ghosts mistakes matter so much that they should sit but Stewart/Thompson/Haggs don't matter at all and people shouldn't complain about them.

Excited for those future Pink Whitney commercials?
“Chris, what are you even doing here? This is a SKILLS competition.”
“I scored 64 points in the NHL one season.”
“Oh....really? Cheers, Chris.”
“Cheers, pal.”
I wouldn't mind watching Biz and Stewart just pound the shit out of each other for a tv spot.
As long as it's real and not staged.

I think there was some report a few months back that they got along well or something minor like that.

Well yeah. Just like we have to keep Hagg cause he's lindbloms buddy.
We should probably try acquiring all the Strome brothers too.

I saw ‘mature, physical’ players do horrible in the playoffs like Grant, Hagg, and Thompson. Why not see what you have when a change is needed?

Infinity times. They will never stop doing this shit. We are f***ed. You just have to see it as comedy rather than tragedy.

Did I ask for any of these back?
But Frost and Bunaman weren't ready last summer, so it's a waste of time to argue about which players would have failed, the fact that the veterans failed doesn't mean things would have been better with raw rookies who weren't playoff ready. Farabee wasn't ready either. That's how things roll sometimes.
I hope Frost is getting stronger and plays a better NHL game this year, his offensive skills are unquestioned, but he has to do more than figure skate to make it in the NHL.
Farabee also needs to get stronger, he tries and goes to the dirty areas, but trying isn't enough, you have to put up some resistance.
There's no such thing as "flag" hockey.

I'm not either. I'm not jumping ship - I'm just on a seven-year emotional sabbatical with six years remaining.
