Phaneuf's rating is accurate, guys.

 

[lupinko]

Well it IS EA Vancouver.... (right?)

No.

Spoiler

EA Burnaby

Burnaby: And you thought there was nothing to do in Richmond.

All cities surrounding Vancouver are equally boring.

Go to the amazing Burnaby shopping mall thing and get accustomed by stupid kids

Metrotown? also not sure you really wanted to put the word "accustomed" there...

Also, Burnaby isn't THAT bad, I go to school&work there....



Do we know when the WC team ratings come out?

 

[Socreges]

Burnaby is fine. It just doesn't have any good bars or clubs or random live music joints. Plenty of karaoke clubs and bubble tea hangouts, though.

Neither does Vancouver.

Sorry, 'Accosted'.

There are some good ones. At least they're legitimate options. Burnaby has practically nothing. I can't even think of a single club.

Victoria actually has some decent spots. Mostly thanks to UVic supplying the hotties.

You need to look at the individual stats under rating. You could have someone rated 88 but they have a bunch of points in stats like Fighting, Toughness, Stamina, etc

While that person rated 86 may have high numbers in shooting and passing.

Like Kessel for example is a horrible 2 way player, has no toughness, etc. So that will lower his rating.

 

[Red_Man]

The Philadelphia Flyers have created an internship position in the name of Jessica Ghawi

Pretty cool, and classy of the Flyers organization.

Most top end offensive players are horrible defensively. Look at the Sedins. They're so lazy with their backcheck they make Samuelsson look like Datysuk.

What does that have to do with my point?

Something for you to think about when you're crying because they aren't both 98.

Sounds like something someone from Burnaby would say.

Nope. Went to school and have worked there, though. But New West, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby... they're all soulless.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Surrey has soul.

... It just sold it for a nickelbag of meth though is all.

Larry Brooks Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie

PA also has proposed that NHL establish a limit on non-player spending by teams

Oh well that's just fucking stupid.

 

[Plinko]

Oh well that's just fucking stupid.

And that's only one of the stupid things they proposed.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Oh well that's just fucking stupid.

I'm thinking that's a throwaway demand. Something they can give up and not care too much about.

 

[FOOTE]

The Blues have released the ticket plan that I want to buy, but I won't do it until the CBA is approved.

 

[Merguson]

Actual NHL news to post!!!

Nashville Predators sign Scott Hannan to a $1 million, 1 year deal!!!

My research paper has concluded that M. Night Shyamalan is a racist, shit-eating piece of turd.

Ryan Miller is the best goalie in the Eastern Conference...

Wooo!!!!!!!

The flood gates are about to open!

 

[Osorio]

The Devils signed Stefan Matteau to a 3 year entry level contract.

And you guys thought we weren't gonna replace Parise.

I want to laugh, but that would be rude.

 

[KernelPanic]

You did replace Parise, you signed Bobby Butler

Good luck with that one.

Western Conference.

Calgary Flames (Offense: 4, Defense: 4.5, Goalies: 4.5): Miikka Kiprusoff (87), Jay Bouwmeester (86), Mike Cammalleri/Mark Giordano/Jarome Iginla (85)

Seems about right! Good job EA.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

How is our D a 4.5 overall out of 5? Our D should have went down while our goaltending and offense should have at least been above that.

and Luongo at an 89. LOL

 

[Red_Man]

How does EA decide the lines for a team? Do they just put the highest numbers together? I don't understand why they have Desharnais as our 3rd line C when he's going to be our 1st line C.....

 

[Osorio]

You did replace Parise, you signed Bobby Butler

Good luck with that one.

I might be an optimist but I expect some decent numbers. It sounds like his main problem is that he's a floater, doesn't forecheck, backcheck, doesn't fight on the boards.

He signed a 1 year 2 way contract. He knows if he wants to see NHL time, especially on the Devils, he's gonna have to step up his game defensively. Or score goals.

Unless he gave up on hockey altogether.

 

[Red_Man]

Bourque - 84
Pacioretty - 84
Gionta - 83

 

[Osorio]

How is Gionta doing in Montreal? I didn't really think much about him until his brother started playing his heart out in the playoffs.

I still remember looking forward to our matchups against Boston because he'd always go after Chara :lol

 

[Red_Man]

He was our leading scorer for the 2 seasons before this past one when he had his season ending injury. Love him on the team, but I think he's too quiet to have the C. At first I thought it was a good idea, but I'd prefer giving it to a guy like Gorges at this point. He's served very well in his role though, one of our best SO players as well.

How's Judas aka Scott Gomez?

 

[TUSR]

Daniel Sedin (91), Henrik Sedin (90)



mmm

Henrik has played 7x consecutive 82 game seasons. With .83744 PPG

Daniel has played 4x 82 game seasons in the same period .835855 PPG

Even last season IIRC Henrik had more PPG than Daniel.

I don't know who you're talking about.

Maybe they forgot Lidstrom retired?

Pretty much.



Derek Roy = Patrick Kane? EA PLS

 

[Red_Man]

Montreal Canadiens Executive vice president and general manager, Marc Bergevin, announced Friday the contract extension of Trevor Timmins as director of amateur scouting.

 

[Razorskin]

Fuck yes, more good drafting in our future.

How's Judas aka Scott Gomez?

Does anyone know who he's talking about?

 

[KingHenrik30]

Ryan Miller is the best goalie in the Eastern Conference...

So obvious...

Uniform Monitor Ranks the Flyers Jerseys as the best uniforms in all of North American Sports

1. Philadelphia Flyers

Flyers: In the name of full disclosure, I am not a Flyers fan -- matter of fact, they're my least favorite team in sports -- but dang if those orange and black getups don't sing like Kate Smith in the Spectrum before a playoff game. They're paradoxically straight out of the 1970s and timeless all at once. Kudos, you dirty creeps. Might this be the only thing you win for another century.

Everyone loves to hate the Flyers, but there's no denying how cool these throwback uniforms are.

I do love our jerseys. Got the Briere winter classic. So amazing.
