Pretty much. Don't overdo it, but generally, it's allowed now.

Feels like the wild west

So is swearing all good now that this is no longer CDC? Ive seen a lot of F bombs dropped lately

This was a mega important summer for him and he poo poo’d the bed.

Not sure you can make up for lost ground now.  Too bad as I had high hopes.

At work so I cant watch the game (yet). Will watch the recorded game soon but I saw this on twitter.  That Erne guy is a punk (Desharnais too)

Aint nothing wrong w PDG in the top 6 if his line is productive

good guy PDG

thankgod these two have turned out into viable NHL players.  I was really hoping Woo would be knocking on the door

Wowee Tocchett ripped Joshua. Just now he’s talking to the strength&conditioning coaches?  Yikes man.  Trade bait? 

Hoping we see Aman Bluegar Studnicka tonight. IMO tocchett wants his 4th line to play a big match up role.  tonight would be a good first test.  

I know it’s preseason but dear lord please give me something positive I beg you

Tocchett saying complimentary things about my boy Aman. Top 3 “best in shape guys at camp”

I also liked Studnicka's game tonight. His "high danger Corsi" at 5-on-5 was 5 for and only 1 against, tied with Suter for the best on the team.

 

But I did not think Aman and Joshua were good and, frankly, I think both those guys were over-rated last year. I like Studnicka with Suter or with Bluegar.

 

 

Im betting Bluegar will line up w Suter/Garland.  

And for a small team NA is 6’2” DJ is 6’3” and when they are on they are easily the team’s best grinders.  You forget both played their first full NHL season last year. Let them develop bc they have some chemistry and attributes this team sorely needs.

Top 9 you can just roll. 4th is your energy, hard hard to play against grinding line.  

Podz to AHL to start 

Id like to see Studnicka keep playing, pref on a line with Aman/Joshua.  

@RWJC how did Studnicka/Woo/Aman look today?

I'm not saying that Studs has no chance.  Maybe since he had such a great summer he makes the team.  He's younger than I thought and I was lumping him in with guys like Dries and PDG who are both 29

I know exactly what you mean.  The odds are against him but that’s partly why Im rooting for him. And he seems like such a good kid.  

Drance saying Studnicka has been a standout over 2 days. Playing his arse off and scoring some nice goals.  Based on what Ive heard he is a lot like Podz-good kid that works hard.  Im rooting for him.

Love this opportunity for two guys that put their head down and nose to the grindstone all of last year: Bains and Karlsson. If one of them makes the big club, it would be just awesome to see and a great motivation for all the other Abby forwards that we have. 

From an athlete’s point of view, its nice to have a coaching staff basically say “here is where we see you in the NHL”. Even if the odds are stacked against them, it’s a good motivational/development strategy.  

Good on Tocchett and staff 

hope we get more video content tomorrow

Fun movie. A simple but heartfelt story.  Sat in DBOX seats which was fun (the pavement rumble was cool).  I really liked Blomkamp’s use of different/new camera angles. Hope he gets to keep making theatre releases.

I love how the Goalies are divvied up. 
 

In group 1, Tolopilo and Ty Young are learning from Demko, who is one of the best of the best when he’s healthy, facing off against some of the best on the team. Group two has Silovs, DeSmith and Martin, which is essentially the battle for the backup job against guys who are fighting for spots on the team and in the top 6. In group 3 you have Sawchenko and Lemieux with a player group of AHL veterans, even tho they are in the ECHL this year. 

Feeling a bit TERRITORIAL all of a sudden

im not arguing that god is even in human form, why could it be so hard to believe god is flawed though?

Because it leads to incoherent outcomes Dank.  Like I said, a flawed God couldnt be the source of morality.   God’s commands are what supposedly grounds all of morality.  Instead of the problem of evil you end up with the problem of morality!  That’s a major problem dude.

you are asking the wrong person about scripture im  not an expert, no where close... but in my minds eyes "god" is flawed just like us, however they/ it /what have been around forever Im not entirely convinced its a human like being that created this place... but i dont deny its possibility... EP explanation of the afterlife is the most plausible thing i have heard about the subject, but i do not necessarily agree with them either... im sure i could poke holes in it if i tried, but this isnt the afterlife thread its the god thread

The objection is logical in nature Dank.  Sure, scripture informs some of it (God being a perfect being for example) but the problem of evil has more to do with logical coherence.  

If for example, we operate with your definition of God being flawed (rather than a perfect being), how can God be the source of morality? It is reasonable to suppose that whether we should morally do A or believe B because what ultimately grounds said obligations is flawed. Arguably, the consequences for ethics would be disastrous. But I dont think that would be acceptable for religious folk.  So, we modify some of the o.g premises to fix that incoherence and round and round we go.
