So happy we have Kadri on our team. Amazing ambassador for the sport.

I'll admit I didn't know too much about Kadri. Always thought he was just another rat ala Marchand. But he seems like such a great community guy and very well spoken. As good as we want the player to be on the ice, it's just as important he's as good off.

"This is believed to be the first time in history that the Cup has entered a mosque."

That's amazing, but also tragic.

1A 1B and 2B made perfect sense to me.
Looking forward to the 1A, 1B, 2F, 7C getting added to the game takes, Bingo.

Is it ? How often does the Stanley cup enter churches and what is the percentage of Muslim players in the nhl?

I would argue the reason is that Muslim’s are under represented in the nhl compared to their population %- why is that tragic? Sure not perfect but seems like blowing an issue up

The line number + letter system is perfectly reasonable.

You've never head of a 1a/1b goalie tandem? Or did that also set you off on a rant?

Tre confirmed that they thought they had a deal to offload a contract prior to the deal moving Monahan to Montreal which ended up going away. Didn't specify the player, so it could have been another team in a deal for Monahan or a different Flame altogether.

Kadri probably didn’t want to wait any longer

The number after 1 is 2, always has been, always will be.

That's great, this isn't about numbering the lines though. It refers to a player who is better than the traditional talent level for that line, which speaks to the depth within a team.

1A/1B goalie tandem example as explained earlier.

So referring to Lindholm and Kadri as 1A/1B and Backlund a 2B means we effectively have 2 "1st line centres" in terms of abilities, and Backlund is a good but not ideal 2nd line centre. As a result, Kadri pushing Backlund down to the 3rd line is a very good thing for this team's depth.

But I'm sure you get the concept and are just being obtuse on purpose.
