A 3210 point system would be better than what we have now, but we could get all of its benefits with an even simpler system: base the standings on regulation record, and break ties using post-regulation games. Can only gain ground with regulation wins, can only lose ground with regulation losses.

He looked a bit better today especially with the puck but it was not a great showing by him. He really seems like he needs another year in junior.

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 21/09/2025
Not a great look from Sennecke on that goal (same from a few others on that play). If Sennecke wants to stick he has to be better at stopping the progression from D men from the point

Bit of a seeing eye shot from Nesterenko there but the release came from an interesting angle which definitely helped fool the goalie along with the screens

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 21/09/2025
I’m very curious to see how Sennecke looks today. He had a really rough rookie faceoff where I think he really needs a good showing tonight to have a chance to make the opening day roster

Yzerman & Verbeek were working on this trade for a while; retention was a sticking point. Really like this for Detroit. 2nd + 4th is a fine bet on a #1 goalie, in my mind. Sources indicate that 1st + Anton Johansson was the ask earlier this year, happy that didn't happen. #LGRW

That Gibson trade is an interesting one. I think it’s an underwhelming return when you look at how long the Gibson trade saga has gone on, but also from a value perspective I think it’s about right when you consider the 6.4 mil in space in 26-27 that the Ducks get from this.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

With that Terry rumor on the other site, my view based on the latest tweet is that Terry was discussed as part of a package for a bigger player, but that does not mean he’s actively being shopped, just means that he is not untouchable. IMO there are few players on the team that are untouchable

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 12/06/2025
Mid round for mid round will likely end up being a wash for all intents and purposes so the Ducks get Kreider, while the Rangers get full cap relief and Terrance. Kreider will help the Ducks and won’t have long term cap implications, but I do question if Verbeek knows how to leverage his cap space

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 11/06/2025
With it likely being Terrance and a pick, I am fine with the Kreider acquisition

Jake Rudolph @jake.crashthepond.com · 10/06/2025
Marner to the Ducks would truly be a perfect fit for the franchise. Verbeek should move heaven and earth to make it happen if he is serious about his make the playoff statement and that means spending north of 14 mil if necessary.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Joe Biden was old and not fully competent and his staff covered it up. Big scandal. Donald Trump was accused by his top donor and former top ‘Special Government Employee’ of being a pedophile. So are his staff covering that up? Isn’t that, y’know, a bigger scandal?

Trying to remove the disappointment of the Quenneville news and focus on the Ducks roster, the news that Thompson and Clune have been let go is good news for the young D men. Thompson was a large issue for the coaching staff and PK
