Oleksiak looks Marv from Home Alone.

I searched Twitter and the only mention I could find of it was a certain miserable O&B.net poster referring to Darren Pang on a podcast. Even that sounded like second hand info.

On a positive side, I found him and got him Muted before we ever crossed paths there.

Rev?

Rev?

I figured he'd be in Trump's cabinet by now.

Ovie is so much cooler than Crosby it's ridiculous. The NHL should have rigged it so Washington won 3 Cups and not the Pens.

This thead from 2006 was bumped on the prospects board the other day. Almost all the posts are from 12 years ago so it's kinda fun to read through.


Steals from the '05 draft

From The Athletic, keys to Calgary's turnaround:

What’s going on with the Flames blueline is really incredible. For context, this could be the first time in 35 years that Calgary will get at least 50 games each from two rookie defencemen aged 22 or younger. The last time? Al MacInnis, 20, and Jamie Macoun, 22, back in 1983-84. Before that, it was Charlie Bourgeois, 22, and Steve Konroyd, 20, in 1981-82.
This not-seen-in-a-long-time embracing of youth began when Rasmus Andersson, 22, and Juuso Valimaki, 20 opened the season as the third pairing. They were both fixtures in the lineup until Valimaki suffered a lower-body injury. No problem. In stepped Oliver Kylington, 21, who has taken over for Valimaki and has already played 10 games alongside Andersson and played well.

....

The days of old, slow guys on the third pairing are behind us.
There is a youth movement going on and it’s working. The young guys are proving capable and are providing Calgary with quality minutes, while at the same time growing and developing their games to make them even more formidable in the future.

Love that, because I love Calgary, but also because anytime something like that happens around the league, it is great for us, because it provides a precedence for other teams to follow - we have the young horses in the stable and on the way to hit the ground running with this kind of thing. Juicy as ****.

I like it because it shows how quick the turnaround can be, it doesn't have to happen at glacial speed as we were told around here. Calgary was a like lot us -- a mediocre team with some nice pieces, looking for a coach.

This is generally what happens in sports, you have a new coach with a couple kids outperforming expectations.

I assume that others have done the same as me and figured that Anderson is having his standard "raw stats look ugly but he's playing well behind an atrocious Ottawa defense" but apparently the advanced stats say he's in serious decline. So...

I can't believe I'm saying this but re-signing Elliott might be one of our best options for a veteran caddy.

I cant believe you are either.

Wooo Frenchman recalled, I am so pulling for him to succeed after coming over from the KHL

 

[kudymen]

Ooh Thornton with a dumb punch during the play.. uncalled I believe

Devils down by two early in the game. I should be happy, but the combination of yesterday's loss vs CBJ and the fact that one of those goals was scored by Atkinson... Ew.
