So far so good.
Would have looked a lot better if this story didn’t come out the morning after getting our ass clapped by the lightning
He gonna re-sign?
Looking like you’re going to miss again so…
So I’m guessing if this all goes well, we’ll let Schwartz and Tolvanen walk and resign mcmann
To what end?
I am very happy to have been completely and utterly wrong. He has been so active.
I am also hoping this is not a flash in a pan. Players tend to play harder when traded to ensure their spot in the starting lineup, so hopefully this continues.
Like sure, the guy is scoring goals and that’s what this lineup needed… but I’ve seen this song and dance before with defensive head coaches. Sign a new FA, he gets the hot hand on a new team, then he starts getting into the defensive systems and has the offense coached out of him.
