That is from the clip where Mr Bean's car gets destroyed by a tank. Car = core?

It is a BoA game, which is always a big deal, and this one is at home. It is always worth it to go for a win against the Oilers.

I think some people really over think the whole "risk an injury" angle.
- Injuries really do not happen that often and even if they did, there is still more than half of the season left for him to recover and contribute in the playoffs.
- If the other team is getting Andersson with an extension they are thinking about a 9 year plan, not in days, weeks, or months. The trade would probably still go through.

Also, until the call is officially made, it hasn't happened. From a coaching standpoint, Andersson is one of your best players so you should keep playing him until he is not on your roster anymore. Until the paperwork is done there is always something that could cancel the trade, so you keep playing Andersson until a trade is finalized.

Keep in mind that sometimes players end up getting traded mid-game. It doesn't always follow a formula of sitting a player until the paperwork goes through.

Perhaps car as in Motor City. Detroit

Gio is with the Leafs.

The Leafs are watching their dream of acquiring Andersson get destroyed by a tank.... A shark tank?

If Conroy expected the trade to go through at any time on Sunday, he would not allow Rasmus to take the ice. Doesn't matter what the coach thinks. There is no guarantee he will be traded with a sign and trade; if he's a rental, any significant injury tonight would absolutely torpedo his value.

Only happy memories for Ras in Detroit.

It has felt way better cheering for the team to win the last 2 games than for the tank prior.

I don't think I can keep cheering for losses all year. We are also not too far out from playoffs. If the tank happens it happens, but I am not going to waste so much energy cheering for a top pick. I also doubt we are going to blow things up while we are 3 points out of a playoff spot.

There are so many teams worse than us. I also find it very hard to not cheer for Wolf, and the other younger players to win.

Cheer the wins (especially against the oilers and knights), embrace the losses

Conroy is done swimming in the Shark Tank and has found the player(s) he likes

Conroy is peeing in your pool.

Not sure if anyone else caught this but on the Coleman goal, the camera panned to the flames bench. There was a lot of celebrating with the boys celebrating and high fiving each other. Andersson was sitting on bench and subdued. Could be something, could be nothing.

Bradly Nadeau was scratched last night in Carolina. Again, could be a coaches decision with a young player. Could be something else. Hard not to try to connect dots with everything going on, especially with the hurricanes being in on Hughes.

Do we have an offer and CC is looking for a better one?
