Solo, you may have lost your Subban, but you'll find your Weber.
I'll trade you. You can be free of Quenneville.
Not worth my time. Trading shit for shit isnt worth it.
Damn, sorry to hear that man. Was it out of nowhere or had you guys been rocky already? Sucks either way, damn
Yeo has a better chance of getting fired, Quenneville is there forever.
Nah hes on the hot seat now. Firing his buddies was a shot at him.

George Parros is named head of NHL Player Safety.
Me personally, I would have gone with Todd Bertuzzi.

That sucks man, was it mutual or something worse? Way back my ex and I broke up after I found out she was still seeing her old boyfriend on the side. Not happy times.

Sorry to hear that Solo 
I found out Naylor is off the TSN Toronto morning show now. I thought "Landsberg in the Morning" was a joke until they actually ran ads for it. They never really gelled together anyways.

We learned this week that Waite has in his contract that the coach CANNOT talk to Price, period (source : Martin Lemay and Rejean Tremblay both reported the same thing on the radio)
Therrien said he basically didn't say a word to Price at all during his last season here. Even after that 10-0 defeat where Price looked at Therrien when he got pulled out of the game, Therrien was not allowed to talk to him to explain the decision (which wasn't even his decision, it was Waite's).
This is absolutely insane

Predators superstar Vernon Fiddler has retired

ESPN asked players for one rule change they would make if they were commissioner
tl;dr is many want to go to the Olympics

Oh boy...
Back in the day taking out the red line was supposed to eliminate the trap because it would make it harder to defend against stretch passes and create more space. Now he wants it back in to regroup and build speed. Kids probably too young to remember how it was. How about you just get rid of fucking traps? Illegal defence, two minutes.
And then you have geniuses like this guy:
Go thrill yourself with chess.
I have no fucking clue where the hell Stephane Waite is. For all I care he could be hanging by his neck in his fucking closet.
I love how Max Domi just shoots for the moon.

Yeah I didn't get this at all. As a way to slow to game down to maybe mitigate the severity of injuries? Sure. But not to increase scoring. I think back when they got rid of the two line pass scoring did go up for a season or two, it did eventually come back down.

Not going to the Olympics is the first smart thing Bettman's done in years.
But down to the same levels as pre-lockout?
The two line pass is and always was a stupid idea.
This. Fuck the olympics.

I know I read it somewhere but I figured I might as well check. I averaged the goals per team per game averages from 93-94 to lockout and lockout to 16-17. The difference is 0.0025 goals more after the rule change (2.81 goals in the dead puck era, 2.8125 after the lockout) according to hockey-reference anyways. Pretty close: that 0.025 will show up as an extra goal in three games for the entire season for the entire league. But not exactly the same levels 😉
He used to scout for the Bruins. I wouldn't be surprised if that's a job requirement over there.
Have you listened to Travis Green at all? I find him pretty articulate and I'm pretty happy he got head coach. I think he'll be a huge improvement over Willie D.

Remember he likes taco bell and cares about the kids hahaha
That's a bit insincere to the conversation imo. Including 93-94 etc, when scoring was still very high, distorts the data

Scoring has been better in recent years than pre-lockout levels, but not by much. Last season saw an uptick, though.
Stars prospects allowing 14 goals in two games make me believe they're all ready to make the jump to the NHL Roster, I wouldn't even notice the difference
Also before I forget, thank you all for the messages/posts this past week, just to give you guys an update I obviously haven't gotten out of the hole yet as I reckon it'll take time and hard work, which I'm more than willing to put in because honestly I hate feeling like this, but these past few days I have felt considerably less shit than last week so baby steps I guess...

Apparently it's break up season ��
Sorry to hear that Solo
Aw dude I'm sorry to hear that
Thanks guys. Nothing scandalous like she was cheating or anything. She did the breaking up but it's quasi mutual, if that makes any sense? One of those things that is simultaneously surprising and yet not surprising at all.
Basically it amounts to our relationship changing a lot. The first 1.5 years it was all hot and heavy, and over the past 1.5 years it's kind of morphed into more of a platonic friends-with-benefits thing. Like, we'll still kiss and have sex, but it's not like it was when we couldn't keep our hands off each other. To quote Michel Therrien, we "lost da passion". I guess it is something I've been acutely aware of and bothered by, but we love each other so much and are so compatible in every other way that I guess we both willfully turned a blind eye to it. She finally decided it wasn't how she wanted to live the rest of her life. And if I'm being honest with myself, I don't find myself attracted to her strongly in the romantic way I used to.
It still hurts like hell though. We've lived together for 2.5 years, we have 2 dogs together, and I'd always pictured marrying her. So in one fell swoop I'm losing my girlfriend, my best friend, and my family (as the dogs will both go with her). And starting over again at 34 isn't something I pictured for myself.

WE LOVE YOU STARS ARE MAKING THE PLAYOFFS
There is a lie in this post, which one is it

That's fair enough - my logic was to use the large drop of the 93-94 season from the 92-93 season (-0.39) as a starting point of the continuing trend. Omitting that year leads to 2.767 pre-lockout to 2.8125. So the league isn't exactly there yet but it is getting close. It roughly works out to an extra goal every 22 games which isn't too bad in comparison.
Last season had an increase of an added goal every 16ish games versus the one before for reference (+0.06 on the average) and I know at least I felt that effect. Hopefully the trend continues with a full season of smaller goalie pants.
Keep at it Pikma
Its the part about us loving the Stars. We dont.
