Isnt that the ultimate fantasy though? Believing enough that a leafs player and team will succeed, to choose them in the first place?

Theres gotta be some responsibility for the other guy too...i mean it was a nasty play, but the guy might as well have headbutted spezzas knee. Dropping down to the ice when you have a cluster of players around you....you are lucky its a knee/elbow and not a skate.

Please no. Sedins are good people loved by BC. The last thing i wanna see is the the troglodytes drag them through the inevitable online filth if they dont win a cup in their second year.

Its too bad. I really thought after the vegas series, that the nucks were just about to hit contender status. I felt Benning was finally “in charge of his team”, none of that retool crap. I liked green as well, thought he was coming into his own with a young team. Even this offseason, dropped dead weight, brought in two who seem like some of the better players so far this year in EL and Garland. What a dumpster fire of a season so far.

Wont change anything if the players play like they have been. Does Pettersson do anything anymore? Seems like Garland is the only one playing with any heart. Honestly i dont know. I dont get to watch games, but at this point i dont even watch highlights unless they win or maybe if its close. They rarely win, and they lose biiiiig so i cant remember the last time i got to....

I realize this. Theres also the maidens of the spear, spear wives...i did say it was in the books did i not? It also has literally next to nothing to do with the core story.

My buddy and i learned how to read Jordans books efficiently. You can pretty much omit most of the description paragraphs with skimming. Any chapter with a trolloc skull on the first page is an action chapter. You can pretty much skim all, what we called, the “girl chapters” with nynaeve egwene elayne until late into Lord of Chaos. Up until that point its a lot of whinging and fear of forkroot. When i reread the series i usually start at shadow rising. You should finish the series though. The last three or four books are fantastic, especially the last. The whole book is one big last battle where all prophecies come together.

Dunno if you read the books, but they changed a lot of stuff for no reason. So far they havent force changed anyone into the lgtbq diversity slot but my bet is on the whole aiel nation. Before anyone has a conniption, there is literally no main character that fits into an lgbtq role due to their relationships being very crucial to the story that was written. Thats not to say that its not in the books to some extent. Its just that there arent any main characters, or even supporting characters that were lgbtq.

I thought the canucks would actually be good this year. I cant blame benning. He made changes in the off season that, on paper, improved the team drastically. I like green but never bum gardener. Somethings gotta change though, and you cant trade a whole team. Gotta do what you gotta do.

“Mental warfare”? Clench those butt cheeks Torts....you are the next contestant on “Allegation nation”!

Very nice to see vegas mortgaging their future to get, what very well could be, a Jack Eichel that “had a good career and put up some 40 pt seasons, but was never really the same after the surgery....”

Didnt his mommy go on a rant on twitter about his playing time the year before last? Nothing like seeing a twit being a twat for the rest of the world to witness. I mean, it used to be harder to figure out the village idiots. Nowadays they advertise it all over the internet.

They should name it the Sierra Madre.

Are you trying to spell generous or genius? I have a hard time taking any topic seriously, when you cant even take two seconds to google the correct spelling for the key word in the title. Im just going to assume you put the same effort into whatever brain shart you splattered into what is likely a big run on sentence wall of text, and save myself some brain cells by not bothering to “read” it.

Marlies? Here i was expecting him on the leafs 4th line on a three year deal at 3 per. They must not have cap space. Ah who am i kidding. Of course they dont have cap space........but if they did......

Omg. So many ads and webpage reloads. You should be ashamed for linking that god awful mess that redirects you to another god awful mess of ads and cookies. At least we know YOU are evil.

@Provost my point being, if the idea is to make the midseason games more interesting, promote the idea that losing games not only hurts your chances at getting a high pick, but winning games still gets you closer to the playoffs. As it stands, for some teams theres an obvious conflict of interest. Players dont want to lose, but you cant honestly tell me arizona is actively trying to win. I hardly think its a good idea to institute a silly circus act tournament. What happens if an elite player for a bubble team gets injured? So much for that playoff race. Injury/insurance issues aside, a lot of players are playing for bonuses so your bounty system is already flawed, not to mention the teams most likely to win are bubble teams anyway. What happens if the standings are like when the kings or blues won the cup? Kings barely made it in the playoffs and steamrolled to the cup. The blues went on a huge tear as well. Im sorry if you think my “rant wasnt on topic”.

Change the way the lottery works first. Instead of last place getting best odds at #1, give them to the teams that barely missed the playoffs to get them over the hump. That way teams cant outright tank and are forced to make strong business/personnel decisions on their roster. Its getting pretty ridiculous that teams like arizona and buffalo are gifted high draft picks year after year, yet they seem to get worse instead of better. Its no coincidence that the good teams are consistently good, albeit with a bad year or two. Good drafting and development is how you win and stay competitive for long periods of time. Edmonton and buffalo are living proof that first overalls and strings of top five picks mean very little.

Monahan and a 7th? Monahan and a 6th? Monahan and a 5th? Monahan and a 6th and 7th? ”You have not met our needs very well. Perhaps you should look at our trading block.” Monahan, a 5th, 7th, and a 7th in 2028?

Yes.

Jovo had oatmeal between the ears.

I know. Im just saying, if i was gm, i would need to be getting a pretty good price to take on a potential jeff skinner/10 mill in ltir money. Definately no where near the multiple firsts + prospects people are talking about. (Pretty funny that the sabres already have skinner, and that they were the ones that signed him to that abomination of a contract. )

Honestly, i would be extremely hesitant to give up anything for eichel. Sabres being a dumpster fire aside, eichels attitude during the whole situation, his contract, and the uncertainty on his injury just gives me the no feeling. I wouldn’t be surprised if rehab/surgery leaves him a shell of his former self, and he never struck me as that great of a player when he was healthy. Certainly not worth his c(R)ap hit imo. * good gawd 10 mill for five more seasons. Let someone else take that risk, especially at buffalos rumored asking price.

Brodeur was a product of playing in front of a very strict trap team for the majority of his career. I question how “good” he actually was compared to some of the other greats on the list.

Wouldnt his iconic number be 6x6, or even 36 million?
