Harbingers

Oh so they are basically the Yips.

Idk what “the twisties” are but I don’t think she did anything wrong(resulting in injury) on that vault besides not stick her landing. I’ll have to go give it a rewatch.

Grubauer or bust.. nope apparently Freddy Andersen.

Mrazek to the leafs apparently. 3 years 3.8AAV.

Where is my Paa getting resigned news?!

Ya I figured we wouldn’t be keeping him.

NFL should make it mandatory. Been saying this all along. You want to play/coach/train etc. you get the vaccine. If not, you opt out. The mutations are only going to get worse.

Ya I don’t think Dougie is coming back and it sounds like we are going to be stuck with Tony Deangelo or what ever his name is.

Honestly, she should be on a plane back to her family right now. If she’s this convinced about her mental status i’d put her on suicide watch(they probably already have) but ultimately the US team should put her on a flight home since she won’t be competing. No point in having her stay in Japan. There has to be something else behind the scenes though. She keeps worrying about injury after she didn’t stick one landing. It could be as mild as a case of the yips. At the extreme I wouldn’t be surprised if we see her retire.

I think it runs deeper than that. I think she lost a huge amount of confidence after that first day and tried way too hard to blame herself when she probably just could have gone out there and had fun. I haven’t seen much of gymnastics besides the highlights but there was no fugging way anyone was beating the Russians. The only negative I take from it is it gives the US team an excuse. Which now she will have to shoulder, all the blame from within’ and without. I hope she does well in the singles if she competes but she’s painted herself into a corner on that too.

Ya, they were already on the cusp at the end of last season. I expect a full push from their young core this season.

Last day before FA, if dougie doesn’t sign I doubt we’ll see him back. Don hinted they wouldn’t wait. We’ll see.

Now that players can benefit from their NIL(or what ever it’s called) I believe we are going to see all the big schools align into one conference and negotiate much more akin to an NFL deal while nearly every other school is going to drop off the radar nationally. NCAA gotta protect them profits somehow.

Oh ffs.

He’s an RFA no arbitration next year so he should be here through the Aho contract at least.

Svech, Foegs, LaJoie + 2 others got their Qualifying Offer today. Foegs is eligible for arbitration. https://www.canescountry.com/2021/7/26/22594758/carolina-hurricanes-extend-qualifying-offers-five-players-svechnikov-foegele-lajoie-korshkov-wells

I still we are trying to go gangbusters for a top dollar goalie, we still got a few days left in trade territory. Waddell has never given me anything to doubt besides getting rid of Ned but we are still in the middle of that saga. But we have no pieces we’d want to trade now. I’d love for us to go after Grubauer. Get Mrazek to take a team friendly deal, get grubauer on a win now short term deal. Unfortunately Colorado will probably lock him up in the next day or two and they are basically team wise in the same boat as us. So we have little incentive over them. Removing Ned from the equation due to sample size Gurbauer and Mrazek are the two best goalies in FA this year. That doesn’t bode well for us on either front.

Isn’t basically anyone who is anyone moving to the SEC? I heard rumors Ohio state and Michigan are moving there too. It would make things interesting cause no more near perfect records for the top teams if they all have to compete against each other.

Ya that’s pretty awful.

https://www.wralsportsfan.com/waddell-we-ve-let-dougie-know-and-have-been-very-open-about-what-we-think-the-value-is/19789576/ Full presser. Sounds like Waddell thinks Dougie is coming back. Probably won’t have Svech signed until late august by the sounds of it. Don says he isn’t worried. It’s just a matter of getting FA done first. Just listened to the goalie part of the clip again. It really sounds like we are trying to get a high dollar vet that will only be around for a season or three, with probably Mrazek or Bernier backing up. I feel like we might not even end up signing Bernier.

I love the sports like you said that we don’t get to see. Frankly I don’t give a crap about track(besides relays, though I do like “throw” field sports though), gymnastics, Basketball, baseball, soccer… all the “Major” sports. Over hyped, I often find myself rooting against the US to enjoy the challenge of an underdog athlete/team. I love the little known ones, fencing, taekwondo, rowing, canoe, archery, *****, etc And don’t even get me started on boxing. It’s probably the singularly best thing about the summer olympics cause no world champs/pros are going to risk losing a match so it’s all semi-pro’s and amateurs truly embodying what the sport is suppose to be like. Im more of a Winter Olympics person myself though in the end. I watch them religiously. Summer to me is outside of boxing, if I catch it cool, if not I’ll see a replay sometime soon. edit: apparently s k e e t is censored. That’s a first in a while.

Defensive and OL gel are my biggest questions. Can’t even begin to get into whether Darnold will have success if our OL isn’t solid.

Awesome dude!
