Let’s start with the facts.
To describe the Los Angeles offense as anemic is an understatement...
A2Y’s Trade Deadline Day Mandate
Good morning Kenny. We’re not in the business of making demands here at A2Y. Yes we have expectations, but none of us would “demand” you do anything other than commit your very soul to keeping our team competitive, every year, for the Cup that belongs to us.
Now, that doesn’t mean we don’t have wishes. And when I say “we”, I mean “I”. Clarifying that for you...
Red Wings overnight report: wanting to make a deal is one thing, and actually making one is another
As the Globe and Mail’s Eric Duhatschek suggests, the dearth of substantiated trade talk around this year’s trade deadline, which will hit at 3 PM EST today, may very well suggest that in this year of supercharged “parity” in the standings and uncertainty regarding the CBA to come, we’re more likely to actually witness 20-30 deals go down which could change the fortunes...
