He’s just misunderstood

You expect the game to be played a certain way and when it isn't you get upset. You expect changes to be made, and see the need for it yet nothing happens and you get frustrated. What's there to misunderstand?

Shots fired!!

The Panther on the latest Worst Seats pod called his shot.  He said that Ogz would never best Nojo's stats (58 pts in one season, and six 40 pt seasons).  Can't say that I disagree, i was just surprised to hear that from the perennially diplomatic and Wild friendly Panther.

Initially I thought Ogz ceiling was Nino, then downgraded to a no-hit Foligno, re-calibrating once again to playoff Trenin.

Panther's consistently taken a hard line in defending ya boy MoJo.  Time and time again, he (and Russo) like to point out that in the national hockey league, if there's a guy who's better than him then they would waive/bury in the AHL but there wasnt.

Also, MoJo has routinely demonstrated he can still score points.  Back-to-back 30+ point seasons has demonstrated that the guy can play at the level.

Using the super-outdated and missing context '$100k/pt' reference, MoJo has hit above his contract point, and there's not a guy available at <$2M you can get that will bring 30 points to your lineup.  And he's here on an $800k contract.

Frankly, I don't care this season...we have the cap room available.  The only thing blocking the next-gen is going to be their play and skillsets.  We can afford the callups and pressbox time up and down the lineup.  We can afford to have BoGo/MoJo sit in the box with Russo & Panther this season, so if they aint its because the next-gen guys havent played themselves into ice time.

Just perusing the schedule as we're getting close. Jeez, October's got 3 b2bs and one of them is a 3/4. 

I wonder if we should be doing a wellness check on ODC and Protec. Perhaps Protec's cousin No Jo knows how he's doing? 

I can assure you Protec peruses.

Never know. He might be in old Mexico prowlin around as Protectomundo. Perhaps he's in Poland going by Protecski? Might even be in Patagonia prancing about on a plateau, pussy-foot'n, and posting from his phone. I wouldn't know, but you could guess that's what he's doing, not duck hunting or playing beer league. 👍

In my mind, he's been on a long hard trip to mother Russia and is known as Protecov. He's got a little bar with many different kinds of vodka. Think of the scenes in Rocky 4. I'm sure that helmet is hanging over the bar somewhere!

Panther totally missed Russo’s point in that episode. Russo was saying Oggie is better than NoJo right now

That’s pathetic for a top-6 forward! Guarantee Oggie gets 30+ playing top-6 (with other good top-6 guys) and not have a negative +/- while actually battling in the corners and against the boards.

Calen Addison put up 29 points in 62 games.  If you extrapolate that to a full 82 game season, and double up his TOI to 32 minutes/game, he's a PPG player.  If you move him up to top-6 winger he's gonna be a 100+ point player.

How is it possible that all 32 GM's in the league don't realize this?!
