  1. Just now, King Heffy said:

    Green was a bit reason for the top players struggling.  He destroyed their confidence, and then added in a bad system and terrible lineup selection.  Boudreau is the first NHL coach that our core have played under, I would expect improvement now that the cancer has been removed from the room.

    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.

  2. 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....

    Uhmmmm, Moiraine and Siuan were pillow friends. Elaida was a pillow friend with a minor character as well. Pillow friends in WoT was a hidden way of showing lgbtq tendencies.  When you get down to it and really analyze the books, there is quite a bit of eluding to lgbtq tendencies. ( by referencing lgbtq, I mainly mean gay, but wouldn't surprise me if there was some Transgebder stuff too, but I don't remember it.)

    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.

    I did long ago. Never finished it. Gave up around book 10. Got tired of descriptions of dresses and what's her face tugging on her braid...

    They could have added 1 or 2 characters for representation but to make the small village that were dark haired and fair skinned people except one ginger (who isn't even a real ginger actor..) a complete smorgasboard annoys me. 

    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.

    I watched the first 3 episodes. So far...no. But they sure did have forced racial diversity, a rushed plot/story and poor writing. 

    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.

  6. @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”. 

     

  7. 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.

    I wonder how many times they’ve tried to flip Monahan for Horvat in the last year? 

    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?

    Yeah I am NOT saying VAN should be trading for Eichel but the Habs may consider it. 

    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. )

  10. 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.
