Also this is a hilariously incorrect statement

Forget Leino? Hodgson?

Bobrovsky currently?
- sbroads24

Actually saw a cool comparison between WAR numbers and an Age Curve, projecting the top 15 worst contracts on the books. Skinner didn't even make the list.

The cap was also less.

Leino was unplayable

Skinner is still a very good top 6 winger who the coach hates
- sbroads24

Skinners is way worse IMO. He was a top 10 highest contract in the league when signed. And we are stuck with him for a long long time

you have no idea what the facts are, have no idea how it works in the District of Columbia and seem intent upon foisting a conspiracy on shoulders of the democratic mayor
- Michael Pachla

intent? that's laughable.

Skinner is definitely a good player. The thing with skinner is ..... he’s a robin. He need a Batman to carry him.

Eichel is a great Batman for skinner
- Sabretooth9

He doesn't need batman, he just needs someone better than Halle Berry's Catwoman.

I cant do superhero metaphors. He needs not Lazar. Just put him with Staal

He doesn't need an Eichel, give him a Boone Jenner or a gasp Eric Staal instead of Curtis Lazar or Vlad Sobotka
- Stripes77

I agree with you about staal. I’m just saying he needs a better Batman. Larry and erod aren’t it.

Lazar. I’m not sure about. I don’t remember skinner playing with him

intent? that's laughable.

what exactly did you mean by this?

"We both know which party was to gain from allowing that to happen. I'll leave it at that."

I think the best part is the BLM people complaining about lack of police enforcement at the time of all of it happening.

The cops were severely out numbered by the rioters. If they actually tried to enforce any laws / rules ..... they couldn’t been beaten up or killed.

So again. BLM people are unreasonable.

If I was a cop in that situation. I would’ve done the same thing they did.

careful now. mike might tell you you're intent on something.

i think anne hathaway may have been the best catwoman--tv or movie

I mean its more open ended than saying someone is "intent on foisting a conspiracy"

why don't you just say what you want to say instead of leaving it open ended...what are you afraid of?

That's not even close....

I have no intent. I don’t vote nor care about politics.

If I’m a cop and I’m severely out numbered. I’m being nice and not getting in the way.

Cops are also trained to works in groups. If there are 2 guys fighting let’s say. You need 4 cops to actually break up the fight.

I’m using common sense

That's not even close....

jeff skinner scored as many goals in 2019-20 (40) than leino did his entire career

do you know that the D.C. national guard is federally controlled?

I’m not talking about the national guard.


I’m saying the front line cops that let the rioters into the capital.

Paul Hamilton
@pham1717
New lines. Hall Eichel Thompson. Olofsson Staal Reinhart. Rieder Eakin Okposo. Skinner Lazar Sheahan.


WTF
- Stripes77

Well that’s ridiculous with Skinner
It’s also early in Camp & line juggling is gonna happen

I think it’s more about seeing how Tage looks in the top6 than it is about Skinner moving down
It also makes sense bc Skinner & Staal have been paired together, so they’re also getting a look at Olofsson at LW2 with Staal

And let’s say this top6 sticks....
I’d say it’s fairly safe to assume that Cozens makes the roster still- and he & Skinner get paired up on “line3”

- Michael Pachla

Skinner was on a different contract. He scored 14 goals under current one. Irrelevant

I’m not talking about the national guard.

- Sabretooth9

yes...the cops were severely outnumbered...why the decision was made not to plan for potential trouble with reinforcements is to be determined...the mayor said she didn't want a national guard presence, however there are some 30 other agencies including the maryland and virginia state police available as well...what happened is still unknown

Who gives a (frank)!
Biden WON, relax, enjoy your victory in all three (3) governing bodies.

Immense amount of pressure on Joe to rectify every wrong.
Make it happen Joe!

You are correct. When outnumbered cops will retreat. There is no point in fighting a losing battle , being killed then getting our guns taken to be used further.

DC leadership failed those cops.

DC mayor did not request enough help ahead of time and the national guard she did request she only let them come unarmed and un-uniformed

- Michael Pachla

Leinos contract was half the price/time

Republican governor larry hogan:

Hogan said he was in the middle of a videoconference with the Japanese ambassador to the United States when his chief of staff came in to tell him that “the U.S. Capitol was under attack.” Hogan said he immediately excused himself from the videoconference and convened an emergency meeting to mobilize state troopers and the National Guard.

Hogan said he received a call in the middle of that meeting from Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, the No. 2 House Democrat. Hogan said Hoyer told him that he was with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and New York Sen. Charles Schumer “in an undisclosed bunker they’d been spirited off to."

Hogan also said Hoyer told him that the U.S. Capitol Police were "overwhelmed." The governor said Hoyer “was pleading with us” to send the National Guard, but Hogan said he had not received authorization.

“He was yelling across the room to Schumer who, and they were back and forth saying, ‘We do have the authorization,’ and I’m saying: ‘I’m telling you, we do not have the authorization.’”

It was an hour and a half after speaking with Hoyer that Hogan said he heard from Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy, who Hogan said asked: “Can you come as soon as possible?”

Hogan said he told him: “Yeah, we've been waiting. We're ready.”

“I can't tell you what was going on on the other end, on the decision-making process. There's been lots of speculation in the media about that, but I'm not privy to what was going on inside the White House or inside the Pentagon,” Hogan said.

Mike, seriously, you have 5 or so posts on this page alone. Looks to me like you are actively driving a good portion of the political discussion. If it wasn't so, this post wouldn't exist.
