mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
IMO, that seems to be a bigger knock on the pro scouting team than it is Dubas given how little time he had in the org prior to free agency. Feels like we need to clean house in scouting aside from the new guys he brought in in August. To note, this isn't me saying that Dubas is free of blame, espe...

I would try to keep Marner if I were Toronto. Quite young and a superstar.
As mikey said. Drop JT instead. Unless you get a shitload of assets for Marner...
Edit: I would want something like a Makar or Rasmus Dahlin ++ in return for Marner... and I don't think I would get that.

I actually thought Sweden had a good chance to win it. The crumbling in the last period was sad to see.

The referees have let quite much go. For example a club swing.
Pens should have the same PP conversion as the Swedish team

I prefer the fourth line to be fast and play hard, but still being able to handle the puck better than meow. In theory, Reaves was that, so I thought it was a great player to add. But with a slightly too high price tag trade wise. I know that fast, tough and great puck handling is like a wet dream f...

Like we have said the last two seasons. It feels good to have a backup that is better than meow. Unfortunately, it is a prerequisite when Jarry is your starter. He is great, but can't stay healthy.

I am quite sure that more Ukrainians have died due to Russian occupation so far, than those that have died in battle and explosions. And it is not even close. Additionally, Russia has kidnapped 100 000+ children to brainwash and make Russian... Appeasing Putin would mean that they abandon all Ukrain...

The Ukrainians seem to prefer to risque their lives on the battlefield instead of being tortured, r***d and killed in Russian facilitites. Consequently, they are motivated and have so far show that they are capable fighters and tacticians. I think that the human cost for NATO could be almost zero, s...

I admit that I have drunk Ukrainian cool-aid, but I think that they are currently winning. Their goal has not been to recapture territory but to destroy the Russian military. It seems like Russia is low on active manpower, ammunition and armored vehicles. They will have to draft much more citizens t...

Analphabets without skills, that will cost the taxpayers much more money than they put into the system, not so much. It depends on how you want to categorize this.

As a libertarian, I am generally supportive of open borders and free migration. The problem is that open borders are incompatible with a welfare state. If immigrants have no ability to make financial demands upon me (whether directly or indirectly through taxation), then I don't care how many come ...

I know that it is expected to leave a tip, but I am not sure if I would dare to point it out when someone offers to pay. Especially not during an early date where you try to get to know each other.

You guys should really read "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber. It is a bit too long and repetitive, but has several interesting points. For example that people can make a shitload of money without doing much work, but still feel sad because their jobs are unnecessary or even detrimental to the society.

USA was the better team, but Sweden was luckier during the shoot-out.
This shows why it almost doesn't matter how you play during the group stage as long as you advance. Sweden played well during the group stage but still had to face the US team...

Exactemundo. This trade is a win even if Karlsson plays like his worst for Sharks...Not much to not like. Our four worst contracts and a 1st for a 100 point defenseman... that's the net of it.

The team is one year older but I think it is better the upcoming season since we have a better backup goalie. At worst, we have both CdS and Nedeljkovic to choose from, even though I believe that the latter will prove that he is the backup
