Parents that insist on trying to give their child a completely unique name on a planet with 7.5 billion people deserve endless ridicule.

Especially when their grand plan is nothing more than adding vowels to make the spelling different without actually changing the pronunciation. Congratufuckinglations on condemning your crotch fruit to spell out their name to every single person they meet.

So I've spent the week at the Western Canadian Championships here in Penticton and Makar from Brooks Bandits, draft elligable this year, has been head and shoulders the best player here, in a tournament for 20 year olds. Sure, it's Junior A, but I've been very impressed with his skating and puck sense.

He's going in the top 10 most likely so this isn't news

BSH did a super deep dive into the year that wasn't for Ghost Bear

TL/DR: Murphy's Law year. Terrible puck luck and the benchings were understandable but may have done more harm than good. He's very offensively minded, to the point where he can still be something of a liability with play coming back against him. Being paired up with AMac did him absolutely no favors.

I think either way, we will just have to see how Ghost bounces back. Personally, I think the skill is there for a 2nd D, offensive specialist, whatever you want to call it, and still the potential for top D. When someone has a bad season like that that, a summer off can really help refocus as well. So either way, most players are bound to have a bad season at some point (as you pointed out, not all his fault), so I will be very happy if he got his bad season out of the way, learned from it, and the Flyers got the 2nd pick of the draft.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Of all those names I found Kyler to be most offensive. Like, Kyle or Tyler, just fuckin pick one.

Those vessels of the parents unfulfilled hopes and dreams must have the middle names that can only be pronounced by a two stroke engine and hinges of a barn door.

Future 2017 first round pick Kailer Yamamoto is even more shameful because they couldn't even give him a normally spelled Kyler.
