Merry Christmas! or Happy Holidays, if you prefer. Sam Steel is a prototype Bottom 6 guy who is playing as a Top 6 guy. He is always the weak link on any scoring line. This is not a knock against Sam Steel, because great teams need checkers and penalty killers, too and not everyone can do it all. I would love to see Jim Nill find an upgrade so that Gulutzan can reshuffle the lines. It doesn’t have to be another Rantanen, just a guy who can be enough of a scoring threat to complement guys like Rantanen, Robo, and Johnston.
/quote Among the 50 goalies to play at least 10 games this year, /quote <- I think you missed a page. Which is unfortunate because that's where Binnington is as the only starting goalie that far down the list. Let's all point and laugh.
The best Christmas song, regardless of location, is Mele Kalikimaka. It's fun to say. Fun to sing along with once you get the hang of it. And pretty much any version is enjoyable (I've yet to hear a rendition I didn't like). Try singing it at a party this holiday season!
First time I saw TSO I expected a rock concert. Which it was, mostly. I mean, there were guys on fork lifts playing electric guitars.
But the audience was made up of old ladies and children and.....very surreal! That was more than 20 years ago and now I guess it's a full on extravaganza. I showed my daughter some vids to ask if she was interested in seeing a show and she said "that's waaaay too much going on".
Many thanks for the work you produce. My favorite read of the day.
And, enjoy the holidays!
I always do! Usually. Sometimes.
You gave us all a gift with that bit about draft day hats. Enjoy your Christmas break, RT (and my fellow Stars Thoughts readers)!
Thanks, Angela!

I am pretty confident that they are looking to upgrade at the wing before the deadline.

Oh dear, poor Jordan Binnington. I am ever so sorry for hurting him with this omission.
(Also thank you, fixed it)

It is very fun to sing. A little repetitive, but not bad for a short rendition.
Christmas Eve Sarajevo is my go to Christmas song bc nothing says Christmas like a symphonic metal instrumental.
That reminds me of the time I saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra in the Tacoma Dome. It was very surreal.

Yeah, that’s a good description. Just so much HAPPENING everywhere. Worth seeing once, for the experience.
Thank you Robert and I hope you and your family have a safe and happy holidays!
Your coverage fills what would otherwise be a very large void.
Thanks, Michael!
