The shark tank is so electric during playoff time. Also speaking French is very very hard. Reading the necklace

French is very easy if you know it early on imo

If Vegas gets outbid for Eichel (could happen) they should honestly consider trading for Strome as he could be a good rebound story in between Pacioretty and Stone

Dylan as honestly I feel he could be a nice add. I know hes struggled in Chicago but he could rebound in Vegas

Now that all depends on whether or not Vegas gets outbid for Eichel but if it happens hes a good backup plan.

Plus wont have to give up Krebs lul

English is quite a difficult language - it’s so complex and a lot of nuances. That’s why a lot of English dubs translate so poorly or sound like weird sentences (not talking about the quality of Voice Actors or whatever).

And there is a ton of slang that is picked up where you live and changes quite literally from each city/ province/ state.

English is considered one of the harder languages to learn.

It’s built from multiple languages for example - which makes it harder and easier for some.

It depends on which you learn first, I learned French first and it took a while for my English to catch up even though i used it kinda frequently

Really? I think the opposite tbh.

1. The genders are completely arbitrary. No logic behind a masculine or feminine word. It's le bureau (the desk) and la table (the table).
2. There are so many verb tenses and even in the same tenses the variations make no sense --
-Je suis
Tu es
Il est
Nous sommes
Vous êtes
Ils sont

Though some words are lexically close, lots of words were borrowed between the two languages.

I don’t feel like Lindholm gets the love he deserves either.

Elias Lindholm with Carolina: 188 points (in 374 games)
Elias Lindholm with Calgary: 188 points (in 215 games).
