    The funny thing was McConaughey was the guy who came in completely unassuming and a little unsure (it was his first film), and he was so charming and cool that everyone simply loved the dude…Linklater kept finding ways to get him more scenes as a result.  He wound up having the kind of career Andrews could only dream of having.  

    Shawn Andrews should have a beer with Dunkelman, the guy who quit as American Idol co-host.

    Really seems like a LOT of Ranger fans have soured on Panarin...he's averaged about 31 G and 74 A per 82 GP as a Ranger in the regular season, but now has that dreaded "Doesn't do sh!t in the playoffs" rep.  Not that I mind that one bit...    

    A rep that he has earned. It's bad when you don't score points, but when you're invisible?  That's a hard $11M pill to swallow.

  3. I wear daily contacts and they are expensive but convenient. To work on the laptop I wear the contacts and reading glasses. I used to be able to work with just contacts but age won't allow it anymore.

    The problem is his age and price…and the fact he becomes a UFA after next season.  Hard to think that he won’t get around $10 million AAV from someone…for what will be Age 31 and beyond seasons.  If the Devils window was nearing the end I might understand more of a push to get him, but I don’t think they need make a move like this just yet. 

    Yep, I understand the concern, especially for the length of contract if the Devils end up being the team that trades for him and starts negotiating an extension.

  5. If there's a chance to get Connor Hellebuyck ..... that's the kind of deal we might look back on and say .... thank god we did that. I respect smelly's opinion on this one. 

    It's not Schmid who makes this a hard decision. It's Vitek. He had a good season, and it seems hardly fair for him to be sent packing. His playoff performance set off alarm bells, however.  

  6. The Bratt question is a tough one. On the one hand he did not play well in the postseason and on the other, the team doesn’t have a tremendous amount of scoring forward depth. I do believe he cost himself some money this spring but he’s still going to get a healthy contract from somebody.

    In the post game Ruff said, 
    "If you look at how we played and what we gave up, I don't think we should point the finger at the goaltender."

    5 goals on 15 shots. Lol. Anyway, Ruff pulled Akira for less. Just sayin'. Maybe he sees VV as the 1A so he doesn't want to disrespect him. 🤔

     I wouldn’t read too much into that comment. Lindy was just saying that the skaters were terrible and that the game was unwinnable with their performance. Someone asked him a question about when he pulled Vitek (suggesting it was about two goals too late) and Lindy pretty much said it didn’t matter. Anyway, I think we would all be shocked to see Vitek. Benching him is a layup.

    Lafreniere was supposed to be a lot better, but I honestly blame the Rangers and their team construction that has hampered his development.

    I tend to agree with you. Is it a coincidence that Kakko AND Lafreniere have been underwhelming? I'm suspicious.

    These playoffs feel like 2006 all over again: beating the Rangers in the 1st, Hurricanes coming up in round 2 and even Brind'Amour is there. Hopefully the result is different this year.

    My recommendation is don't have a Game 2 like Devils-Carolina in 2006. Devastating. That's the NHL playoffs. Disaster always looms.
