Colorado had their 3 of their top guys on IR, they will play tonight.

Good. 3 top guys inserted into the lineup rarely works/gels for a game or two.

Tyson fight about to start! Last time you'll see Iron Mike in the ring! 58 years old!


Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul (https://v3.bestsolaris.com/boxingstreams1/mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul/)


Oh well, father time wins..  :'(  lol Paul could of knocked him out anytime after the 2nd round. Paul wins by unanimous decision.

Yeah I was hoping Tyson would get inside on him one time and catch him with the uppercut.  Too slow, and Jakes size & youth was easy to stay away from him.
I don't doubt Jake has been seriously training, but few professional fighters(much less a social media star) could handle a Tyson uppercut to the chin.  Was hoping Tyson would catch him with one.
Most boring fight I've witnessed in .....ever?

Oh, and NICE win by the Caps.  Very well played.  MacKinnon and the Avs stars were all invisible - Mac usually destroys the Caps.
McMike - dayum...i mean....DAYUM.  Kid looks like a superstar, and he seams so much faster.
And can we just call Chychrun....Chicklets from now on?  since he's missing one.

Eller looked solid.  Vranna Scored.  Mangiapane was in the play all over the place.
I think with Eller at 3C, it gives Mangi and Vranna both more room to do what THEY do better.  Eller can be the responsible one, Vranna and Mangi can free wheel more.
.....Lappy gonna be watching a lot if that line looks that good all the time - AND they got a lot more ice time with a responsible C
Vranna is still suspect, but I believe he is more of a goal scorer and Lappy is more overall playmaker.

And if Vrana starts to regress toward some kind of unfortunate mean, Lapierre can be tried out at wing.  It might have been said McMichael was some sort of overall playmaker through last season - and look at this season!   


And if worse comes to worst, Miroshnichenko is probably next up from Hershey.

Same. He'd of took his head off if he got him in the first couple rounds. Just didn't have much gas after that..

I didn’t see any of it. But one comment this morning was Tyson looked like a father boxing his son. Not taking any hits but not giving any either.
Title: Re: GDT #16 Caps at Avalanche @ 9pm
Post by: Mickstix on Saturday November 16, 2024, 10:08:37 PM Eastern
I think there was a clause in the contract or something. Once Mike was tired (round 3 - eight) his legs were wobbly and Paul didn't really try and hit him. It wasn't pretty. lol
