I would prefer to leave both of them exposed, honestly. But they need to protect a third guy.

Honest.
Tim Horton’s is still living off a brilliant marketing campaign to establish themselves as part of the Canadian identity. For whatever reason people haven’t clued in that the restaurant is trash yet.

No idea why people still eat or drink coffee there.

Oh man, in a long list of things I dislike about Neal his dentures are up there. Why did he choose the biggest and brightest? Not to mention the overbite. You think you’d get that fixed a little if youre going full remodel.

To my eyes, hes still too easy to knock down or take the puck from in the corners.

His bread and butter seems to be net front and a quick strike.
I agree. He's losing board battles on JG + Mony's line tonight, and the puck is leaving the offensive zone, which could have been prevented if he was a touch faster or a had a little more upper body strength. There was one sequence tonight after an O-zone faceoff where Mony drew it to him, and he had body position, but Mangi was out-muscled and we lost possession of the puck.

With his shot that he likes to use, I see his role as more of a sniper, and I feel that Johnny's line needs a puck retriever that is willing to throw some hits so the line doesn't get pushed around.

It's cheap and they're conditioned.

They upgraded their eggs to an actual cooked egg and not some powdered pre cooked warmed in the bread oven thing, that thats a positive. And I've been drinking their dark roast for years now because it doesn't kill my stomach like the reg brew does. Its cheap. Thats why Tim's has staying power.

Atta boy Valimaki, way to sacrifice the body to block one of the hardest shots in the league

They tried to open here in Indianapolis. But the franchisee picked the most ghetto areas. So they closed.

Flames are still shaking off the penalty. It gave MTL some emotional momentum.
