Apparently Washington is looking for offensive players and Max fits the bill in more ways than one

Also from him on reddit bsky.app/profile/spid...

Hockey is too small time to catch the attention of them

So far the story has been transposed to the screen quite cleanly. It's kept the pacing of the books while meeting the demands of episodic tv. Sure there's a few small moments I wish I got to see on screen and it's not a direct copy of the books, but so far I can't say any of that has made it worse

(I say this only half sarcastically) The "Lou move vs Dubas move" discourse really ran good cover for Shanahan being in charge of some bad moves

The only team that spent less on salary in the last 5 years was the Arizona Coyotes and they were relocated so I don't think they count. They might have ticked up with Dahlin's money on the books but the fact is they don't spend close to the cap and they say they're competing but don't spend like it

I guess Jarmo has extensive experience running a team on a budget with no results to show for it so maybe the Pegula's will love him

I don't actually know if he can either. He flashed actual shutdown for the Leafs last playoffs, maybe he can do it on a national team if there's 9 other guys who can score.
I was just projecting the most painful way to lose gold as a Leafs fan

He'll slide into a shut down role and ice the McDavid line all tournament while someone else does the scoring

hello darkness my old friend

The fact you remember that is wild (and still use it is wilder)

Crazy how young they look. And Nylander when he was still rocking #29

A little disappointing that both adaptations of some of my favourite series (PJO and His Dark Materials) decided to randomly shoehorn Lin Manuel in for some reason

Yes I'm two years late to watch season 1 don't mind me
