    Definitely uneven to this point.  Tied for division lead, I believe, but have had some games where they haven't looked very good and given up a lot of goals.  But I guess that's today's NHL.  It's become a high scoring league.

    The biggest issue is the defense. There are a couple of very underwhelming d-men who have to be addressed, or this team is destined for an early round exit in the playoffs.

  2. The offense will certainly be more potent with Duchene around. I imagine he slots in on the Seguin line, since they really need a playmaker to catalyze that group. The bigger problem here is that the defense isn't any better. Harley was a great add at the end of last season, and hopefully that play carries over to this year. We spent a 1st on Lundkvist for a reason, so he needs to be trusted to play big minutes. Hakanpaa is slow and a liability, as is Suter. It is really going to depend on how much we play those two, and how much we trust Harley and Lundkvist. 

     

    Also, Oettinger can't play as many games as he did last year. He was simply worn out by the Vegas series. Wedge has to play at least 25 games this year to give Oetter a break.

    Schools--Administrators and politicians making the money--not those on the front lines (teachers)--while you seem to be listening to FOX NEWS nonstop--teachers in Texas have been working IN SCHOOLS since August-During COVID outbreaks and quarantines I have been here at work. Unlike Barry--I don't have personal things that need to be taken care of during the work day--which stinks, because I always think I want a day off--but I'd end up working harder at the house than if I was at the school. LOL. 

    39th in the nation for average salaries in Texas, and yet we have grandstanding plebs who think vouchers are the way. Their representatives have created the education problem in Texas, but they blame teachers (and the plebs believe it).

    I don't keep up with much hockey, but I do remember and know  the announcers from back in the day.  I stand with Don. This younger generation is pathetic.  https://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/11/11/don-cherry-addresses-firing-i-speak-the-truth-and-i-walk-the-walk/23858634/ . 

     

    I gotta say, as fun as he is, his hockey takes are way out of touch now. He doesn't understand how the game is changing from brawny, dump and chase brawlers, to smaller skilled guys with tons of speed. SN should have retired him 5 years ago

  5. No way I see Holland with double digit wins. Injuries and inconsistent play has me very hesitant. Perez I have a little more faith in.

     

    Gallo's production I think ties directly to Hamilton's health. Hambone said this last week that knee was sore. The OF has question marks. Was the end of the season Choo here to stay? DeShields is your defacto CF, as much by lack of competition as having a lock on the job. Left field can be serviceable or a black hole.

     

    Moreland should be trade bait. Lefty heavy lineup. Log jam at 1B and DH. I'd see what kind of OF help he could bring.

     

    If Darvish gets to 10 it'll be a late season run at it.

     

    I think Mazara gets the chance in LF this year before Gallo does. Mazara doesn't have the huge holes in his swing that Gallo does, plus more speed and a natural outfielder

     

    Also, if Delino suffers any lengthy slump, look for them to call up Brinson to take that spot, unless James Jones absolutely wows everyone
