COMMUNITY SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
I wouldn’t wanting to be driving a Tesla right now, some unhinged lunatic on left might want to blow it up , all because the head guy is exposing fraud, waste, and trying to keep USA from going belly up by creating a more efficiently run Federal gooberment. Which, btw , Biden did nothing about in four years to reign in the
$35 trillion in debt. And rising at rate of $1 trillion a month. The stock market knows what is coming. That is for sure. And it has nothing to do with White house policies at all. The writing is on the wall. Time to tighten the belt, or go bust. Funny thing, that should be a rallying point for both parties. I guess the Democrats would rather embrace the country going broke, not eliminate waste or fraud. Why do you think that is ? Because they are ones behind most of the fraud in the first place. As Elon has discovered from one Senator funneling money to his wife’s illegal fund, and a Blue democrat agency funneling money to international terrorist group. The party is over people, the train has left the station. It’s not to late to get aboard, or get run over. Which is it ?

I missed number 5, I answered England he did retire from the NHL and from hockey . The question was who retired from the NHL. Vadim Shipachyov is still playing in the KHL so the “correct answer” is Shipachyov but it is a bit of a tricky answer since he never really retired.
Otherwise I got the other 9 right.

9/10, without cheating (looking up). Yes, I’m an OG as well.

Has anybody noticed the uptick in Pav’s hits and overall physicality? Couple shoving matches against LA including one with the 6’2′ 200 lb. Kempe. Think a maiden fight is on the horizon.

Addressing the sentiment that this team is not good enough to make it out of round one without a favorable matchup:
Top six teams in the standings:
Goals:
WPG: 227
DAL: 219
COL: 218
VGK: 212
EDM: 207
LAK: 176
Goals against:
WPG: 151
DAL:165
LAK: 165
VGK: 172
EDM: 188
COL: 189
One can see the VGK are 4th in both but except for Winnipeg the margins are pretty middling. The Jets do not match up all that well with the Golden Knights historically including losing to us this year in Winnipeg. Everybody knows Hellebuyck is not good in the playoffs, at least so far. Yes, Dallas especially with the addition of Rantanen has a bolstered lineup. How well you defend in the playoffs is the bottom line though. You cover guys like Rantanen, tying him up more often than not.

VGK ranked fifth overall in stats:

Being healthy and dialed in for the playoffs. Defend first, score second.

VGK the franchise off to a strong start. Flyers surprisingly successful, in fact won the Cup in year #7.
