Being that far at the bottom makes it real hard to ever want to burn another team for being bad again.

Except for Dallas.
And Minnesota.






























And Detroit.

Also the absolute best Wild games to go to are a Jets @ Wild. Holy shit those Canadians really get into it.

Welcome. Our teams sure have developed a rivalry quickly. I know a lot of people who head south for thee weekend to see them take on the Wild. I think, barring the burning tire fire that are the Avs, all the teams in the Central are going to be tough this season.

Come back when you’ve developed a solid dislike of the Winnipeg Jets and their fans.

Don't worry, I'm sure the Jets will help him out on that as the season goes on. 😉

Saw the Domi stuff.

Not a fan. And though this may be weird to many, when I find out shit about famous people or people in power, whose products I may consume (be it music, games, sports, novels, etc) I can easily drop them/their products.

So with that said, DeAngelo having posted a #MAGA is fucking with me. It was during inauguration but still. We'll see.

Obviously I don't know how everyone feels. We've got a ton of ppl just shying away from revealing anything in either direction. It's just weird to me to see it in the NHL even though it was inevitable. What irks me is seeing more tolerance or flat out acceptance and almost no resistance. Dunno what I expected. Would like to keep it all separate but some guys are starting to speak out. Would like to see some speak out in the opposite direction. Or not know, as hypocritical as that can sound.

Anyway, hockey soon!

edit: Ah fuck, DeAngelo retweeted some shit about "this is why you stand for the anthem" 2 weeks ago. I won't delve into this here any further but the signs are pointing in the wrong direction. Trade to Flyers, bring up Pionk =P

edit 2: I kept digging. It goes deeper. Pure Trumpet. FUCK. Nope. We traded step for this POS.

Watch him bring back Neil 😑 or trade for Brouwer 😫

PAP wouldn't be bad or even old man Iginla. Put him on a line with some speedy guys like Pageau and Dzingel on wing 🤔

Maybe they pick up Matt Read but that contract lol.

I remember they asked for him in the rumored Bishop trade but Philly said no, so they went to Tampa for Conacher ugh 😣😣

Told now the League has completed its process for BOTH Hossa and Lupul...Results will come from the Clubs.

so basically... we're not going to hear about it again lol
Click to expand...

So what the hell does that mean? The league doesn't bother to reveal the result and leaves it up to the team to do so?

What type of forward are the SNES looking for? I'm thinking they may grab Phillip Di Giuseppe from waivers.

Looks like it...

Somebody will eventually find out though, I would think. Whether that is capfriendly or someone like James Mirtle or Chris Johnston who covers the team.

Hate to link a chambers article but here’s Duchene talking further about the shooting

Avalanche center Matt Duchene, a country music fan and amateur performer, attended a previous Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas and had friends on the stage Sunday night when a gunman opened fire on the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

“It was horrible,” Duchene said after practice Monday. “I have my whole political stance on that whole thing (gun control) and I’m not going to fall in the trap of talking about it, but to strike that close — I have a lot of friends in the industry, and the opener for (Jason) Aldean was a guy (Jake Owen) I’ve gotten to know a little bit, and his crew a little bit. I messaged them this morning, just wishing them all the best.”

Duchene, who has performed on stage with Owen, was with a large group of friends from Denver and his native Canada at the big festival two years ago, near the time when the Avalanche was playing a preseason game against the Los Angeles Kings at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

“It so easily could be all of us. It’s scary,” Duchene said. “It’s got to be a wake-up call now. This can’t keep happening.”

Another Wild fan?

I used to have a partner a while back but he left. I could use an ally when I try to pick on 19 & 21. He has good jabs back and most of the time I dont know what to do.

Just rip on Landesgoon constantly and everything'll go swimingly.

Guys,

I got Club 500 seasons tickets to the Vancouver Canucks.

Please give me an easy to read summary of the NHL going into 2018.

Best,

your pal.
Click to expand...

Well, I dont know anything about your Euro football aside from them having some relegation and development systems.

NHL has no relegation. 31 teams are always in the league. Sometimes teams move (Hello, Winnipeg) or new ones are made (Hello, Vegas) but thats it. Every year there is a draft where all 18+ year old players are eligible to be drafted by teams in roughly reverse order standings. Worst teams get best picks. But there is a lottery that sometimes throws it all out of whack but that isnt often.

Draft is done to make things roughly equal. Bad teams get best chances at best players to improve, Best teams get least amount of options because theyre already good. But its not an exact science. Even if a team has the best chances at the best players, sometimes the players just dont develop and its a wasted pick.

The Canucks are a team that were good about 8-10 years ago riding on the success of the Sedin brothers. Really good Twins that had freaky psychic powers. Also had a good supporting cast. Since then, their management has been horrendous. They trade away good players for shit, they used to draft shit players every year, and as a whole were just bad.

Now theyve got a few good young players but they are definitely not good enough to carry the team yet (maybe ever, who knows) so this season will likely suck ass.

Canucks also overpay free agents that arent good anymore. Trade away their best goalies for no reason, who then go to their new teams and play really well, while the Canucks goalies suck.

Canucks fans are crazy. They destroyed their own city when they lost the championship years ago. Stay on their good side or you probably wont like what happens after. That said, the team sucks so...youre in a bit of a pickle.

If Boeser makes the team, he is a great young player to watch. From one of the best development areas in North America, went to one of the best development colleges ever, and is an electrifying player. Hes just young and will have growing pains.

Good luck!

By all means, take him.

And MacDonald while we're at it. He's available for a song.
Hopefully.

Yeah, DeAngelo is a real fuckface, but, like, Dolan gave over $300k to Trump, so what can you do?

Fortunately, I'm a lifelong Golden Knights fan.
