  1. yeah, I hate seeing shit like this. it was going to be a monumental task to 3-peat. with Barkov out and Tkachuk out for much of the season. I don't see it happening. but who knows!?
  2. At his core epstein was a pimp. My guess is he catered to all fetishes, but became known bc he catered to the illegal ones too. My hunch is people like Gates were paying to get their rocks off, but probably didn't cross that threshold. I could be wrong, and wouldn't really care. Have no reason to defend the man. If he did wrong, he should pay. Period
  3. How the fuck do you say his first name? Every way I've tried i sounds like I'm having a stroke
  4. or does it suck? that it the question
  5. i mean wtf anymore. lol. sigh. fart.
  6. Fun little comeback win for the stars over the wild. It was looking bleak after they took control after the first. Stars battled back with multiple goals from Johnston and the winner from Hryckowian. 5-2 in this one and 3-0 to start the preseason is at least a good eye test. My guess is Hryckowian will stay up while he captain recovers, but his absence gives someone an opportunity for the start of the season, at least.
  7. I read this 10 times and it hurt my brain every time.
  8. WE are supposed to. did you think that actually applied to him?
  9. rewatched this movie recently and that scene in particular is so funny and cringe. I don't know how they did it with straight faces. BON-JOR-NO
  10. so alpha. so manly.
  11. it wasn't out of the blue. it was in the last game. probably got speared with the end of stick. but sure, just run our captain out bc he gets hurt. cool fandom. lol
  12. they hired a black man for something? let's see if they manage to kill him like the last guy they hired
  13. they'd at least be kinder.... I'll show myself out
  14. I dunno but I think they need to lower the thresholds for herd immunity bc these people should have died a while ago
  15. I'm guessing you didn't watch the musical act. sounded like someone strangling a cat while slamming it in a piano.
  16. again, I think the fact we made so few moves is testament to where this team is now. we shall see!
  17. that's the expanded roster for camp. most of those players will play elsewhere this season.
  18. I still subscribe to theory the rapture already happened and we're what's left
  19. wow, so he can read. color me surprised
  20. serious question: do you watch hockey outside of the Stars? Glen Gulutzan has been a head coach before and has been an assistant coach running the PP with the Oilers for the last almost decade. I think he's going to be quite good, personally. I was sure they were going to bring Neil Graham all the way up, but making him an assistant right now makes sense. as far as the roster, I think there is a reason we are considered one of the contenders again this season. for reference, here is our opening night roster last season (and who is not on the roster this season) Forwards (12) Oskar Bäck, Jamie Benn, Colin Blackwell, Mavrik Bourque, Evgenii Dadonov, Matt Duchene, Roope Hintz, Wyatt Johnston, Mason Marchment, Jason Robertson, Tyler Seguin, Logan Stankoven, Sam Steel Defensemen (7) Mathew Dumba, Thomas Harley, Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, Nils Lundkvist, Ilya Lyubushkin, Brendan Smith Goaltenders (2) Casey DeSmith, Jake Oettinger Additions: Nathan Bastian, Lian Bichsel, Radek Faksa, Vladislav Kolyachonok, Mikko Rantanen Obviously Rantanen, Bichsel, and Faksa are known commodities at this point and Rantanen (Stankoven) and Bichsel (Dumba) are massive upgrades over the players they replaced. Faksa and Bastian are both depth players and aren't expected to score a ton, which makes Marchment really the only uneven loss that I see (Dadonov disappeared most games so I don't think he'll be all that missed). But I assume the brass expect the rest of the roster to pick up his 47 points - and leave his PIMs at the door. Rantanen can make up those points on his own. I think the fact that Nill didn't make more moves shows how nearly solidified this roster is. The real question mark for me is Lundkvist - the previous coaches didn't trust him for some reason. If he can be 75% of the first round prospect he is supposed to be, he'll be a massive upgrade both in his puck pursuit but in scoring as well. We need more goals from the blueline this season.
