  1. Hypothetically speaking, if we made the playoffs, would Hughes be eligible for the playoffs?
  2. At this point I'm not even that worried about Edmonton any more. No matter how many high end players they end up with, they always $&!# the bed. The more likely scenario is actually the one that scares me most. That Colorado ends up with him.
  3. Beautiful assists, obviously, but what I think I find even more encouraging is that he rifled that shot like a bullet. Nice to see his shot is improving.
  4. Was suspended from Twitter for telling someone to "Learn to code" xD

     

    Martyrdom achieved.

      is there a dirty connotation to that?

      Glad I don't feel the need too tell the world what I had for lunch.  I'm not a big fan of social media.

      well when you tweet those things to trump

      you have to appreciate how sensitive he is

      and how much twitter appreciates what he has done for their product

      so yeah, they'll be quick to protect him

  5. Good. But of course the greatest evil in the world is "Murica", and since the evil rednecks have officially recognized Guaido as President of Venezuela, it's obviously a great injustice of some sort. Better to leave the people eating dogs in their socialist hellhole I suppose. As long as we can feel good about ourselves and ramble on about the evils of colonialism and whatnot, while simultaneously reaping the benefits of it.
  6. So I just came here to check on Tryamkin and see how he's doing.... Wow. You people have destroyed this thread. All of you.
  7. I wish we could merge Goldobin and Virtanen into one player.

      I wish Virt could turn into a young Gordie Howe.

      @Shift-4 Virtanen has been a stud in his own zone and on the back check.

      Agreed.
      But he still isn't at Hansen level

  8. There's no way Petey and Boeser are separated, unless something unexpected happens. They just play well together and compliment each other extremely well. What we need is a top 6 LW that can cause some havoc and create space for Petey and Boes, as well as one more top 6 winger to play with Horvat and create a bit more space for him. Ideally that would be Virtanen, but at this point his offensive game is still too one dimensional to do it at a consistent level.
  9. I'm actually interested to see what Gaudette could do on Horvat's wing. Gaudette seems pretty much NHL ready to me, and his play in Utica indicates as much. As long as we have both Sutter and Beagle to fill in the 3 and 4 C slots, I think it's worth a look.
  10. That's a way down the line though, and I imagine that Madden will be knocking on the NHL door by the start of the 2020 season, by which point our 3 Cs will be pretty well established. I'd just hate to see him stuck on the 4th line. All questions for later I suppose.
  11. In addition to us being set in the position, it's difficult for me to see someone of Madden's size making it as a center in the NHL. Yeah, I know....Pettersson. But that would give us two pretty slight centers going forward. I really do think that if Madden makes it, it'll be on the wing. He might be better served on the wing as well. If he stays at center, he's always going to have somewhat of an offensive ceiling playing behind Petey and Bo. If he plays the wing, that could put him in a top 6 position.
  12. Since we're probably pretty much set at center with EP, Bo and Gaudette, do you think his game would transfer well to the wing?
  13. Don't forget Juolevi and Dahlen.
  14. Just a side note. Boeser is a highly underrated playmaker. Easy to discard this fact while he's in a funk, but he's far more than just a finisher.
  15. I still can't spell "Baertschi" without googling it first.

      I like the ae over the umlaut A for Baertschi, but I prefer the umlaut for Ozil>>> Oezil.

      It's either Baer or Bear Cheese for me.

  16. Serious question. I've been wanting to get into the works of H.P. Lovecraft for a while now, as his type of horror/sci-fi really appeals to me, but I've recently read that the guy was a terrible racist and anti-semite, and that his views did bleed into his work, thus making the separation of the man and the work exceedingly difficult. Wondering how to proceed.

     

    Thoughts?

      Thanks for the input, guys. I think I'll start digging into his work a little more now.

  17. Dave Pratt is an idiot wrapped in a dumbass, soaked in the juices of a thousand morons.

      I would ask what he said but I don't need to because he's already said enough.

      @Where's Wellwood How he's trying to stir things up with Edler. He's just been rambling on and on in the mornings about how if Edler really wanted to be here he would have already signed and that he's causing a problem.

  18. No precedent was set that night. Players know they can take liberties with our guys and get away with it, which is what happened tonight. And that's what's going to happen next time as well, until somebody on our team actually grows a pair and sets the damn precedent.
  19. Seems as though the outrage over the lack of response to the takedown of Pettersson in October was justified, as people continue to take liberties. And, surprise surprise, no response yet again. Disgusted. Absolutely disgusted.
  20. Odd request, but if a mod could give me a temporary ban....Say 24/48 hours, I'd appreciate it. Feel I'm going to say something I might regret later on. Absolutely fuming right now.

      I find it weird that I don't feel particularly angry, just a bit annoyed and mildly devastated (although if it's true that Pettersson isn't that badly hurt, it takes some of the sting off it).

       

      I have no damn idea how Kotkaniemi didn't receive a penalty for it. That being said, it felt more like an instantaneous, stupid decision rather than an attempt to injure. People sending death threats to the guy are way off base.
