  1. real life footage of our team out tanking the competition.
  2. here we see the best center the vancouver grizzlies ever had, playing amongst the greats... i watched this game or one of them with MJ anyways and Big country got 30 points... we lost that game, like most games but it was always fun to watch.
  3. really hope Chicago loses vs Anaheim and their next game vs Arizona in OT of course...

     

    San Jose beats Florida

     

    and the Canucks lose to both New York teams

     

    and Anaheim beats Pitts....

     

     

     

    That would make the standings very close for 26th to 30th

     

    the injuries of the bottom feeding teams are either pretty healthy or royally pooched.... Nucks, Mtl and Columbus are beat up... and should continue losing, but anaheim, San Jose Arizona , and Chicago could surprise and win a few games... Our tank likely depends on when and what demkoe we get when he returns...

  4. LOL... sand groper... glad to see that everywhere people live, they are proud of where they live
  5. tocchet is a great tank commander, hughes and petterson have some of the lowest ice time in the game
  6. these refs better not call the game fair now that we are tanking
  7. He likely missed outon 300 nhl points and maybe 80ish pro points by playing across seas... the proffesional goal record includes playoffs and regular season from other leagues... also if he chose to spend his offseason playing in the KHL instead of the czech league his numbers would be higher, but he chose to spend his time playing for his homeland... the guy was a legendary workhorse in 1990-1991 he played 109 games, 95/96 103 games when he was 40 he played 101 games that year.. and had another couple seasons where he got within 3 or 4 games of breaking a 100 games. im not sure but 109 games might be a record as well...
  8. in before someone bashes him for scoring 256 goals in 532 games in the european leagues, even though his goal scoring rate was almost identical from the NHL. 0.43 GPG NHL vs 0.48 GPG other leagues. Congrats on beating a gretzky record for most goals scored all time!
  9. Come on DeNiro, Gary Bettman clearly stated that NHL teams do not tank this is simply not true...
  10. its up to the coaches and scouts to estimate what OELs value is and make a decision if his value is above 3.75m a year then it might be wise to keep him... if not then we can think of other options. if you must find a way to trade him you go with that option... even at 50% retained its less more cap savings then buying him out. at 3.75m I would love having OEL.... he is a very good pp2 defender... although i believe pp2 time is the least valuable time of all special teams. I would much rather spend cap on a pk specialist then a pp2 specialist
  11. i have watch most of these episodes but haven't seen this one... some of the seasons were great. Drew carey was not meant for that job.... Aisha Tyler is hands down better. sorry for going off track.... im going to find this episode
  12. you're acting like bo cant be replaced on the PK.. just a reminder our PK was much better with players like beagle and the one who shall not be named
  13. No... bo was the number one center this year... and have you seen the point totals of their top players? Bo is going down, down, down
  14. no im talking about stephen Fry... the fact that jordan peterson enters the same debate has nothing to do with my point... but yes he also denounces pc shame culture
  15. also having views on gay marriage is a protected law in canada and the usa... kicking him out would be much more controversial and may just destroy the NHL in a few short days... surely he would have been sued and lost, surely. and if they continued this act we might see a new NHL competitor, the world is 75% religious after all
  16. Steven Fry believes that people taking issue and raising concern for a small sample of people is the reason that the right is gaining more power. He believes PC behavior is a failure and only promotes and advertises far right political views. he calls that PC behavior is not a smart way of handling these topics. (which i have given evidence from a scientific report, that shaming only solidifies their views and ostracizes people from society.) https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/longing-nostalgia/201705/why-shaming-doesnt-work https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/06/us/pandemic-shaming-wellness-trnd/index.html#:~:text=The thing about shaming is that it doesn't,People don't like being told what to do. I will say it again, you are hurting the pride movement by fighting over spilled milk. Not only that, you are hurting the NHL
  17. call it whatever you want... you can assume anything you want... but there is no proof of your statements. The fact that this is even a issue is the fact that you think that mandatory inclusion of a political movement is a expected outcome, makes you part of the the Far, Far left in political views. an openly gay, liberal man, Stephen Fry denounces political correctness. here is a 3 minute video on him talking about political correctness and how it alienates people, and casts harm and vicious trial and purgatory without due process. who argues with jordan peterson but does not agree with everything he says
  18. The thing is with these controversies, is that they are not suprising to have happened... 1 player chooses not to participate out of 700 1 team out of 32 representing 20 players out of 700 presumably avoids a similar controversy of provorov and pulls the players participation in the event, but still has the event... these are expected outcomes and should not be news worthy.
  19. Gary Bettman on pride night controversies: NHL must respect individual choice... i found his article to have the most in depth coverage and have the most important quotes from bettman but also Burke... https://theathletic.com/4156028/2023/02/04/gary-bettman-flyers-rangers-pride-nhl/ here is tortorella defending Provorov and how they came up with a plan days before the event together and how they were going to handle it. https://nypost.com/2023/01/19/nhl-stands-by-diversity-effort-despite-ivan-provorov-incident/ here is the second best article covering bettmans statements which leaves out many statements. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/bettman-confirms-toronto-will-host-2024-all-star-game-responds-to-provorov-controversy/ here are some tidbits from the athletic that i think are important... Brian Burke on Provorov controversy. Earlier this week, NHL executive Brian Burke said it was “extremely disappointing” to see Provorov decline to wear the Pride jersey and the Rangers incident. Burke emerged as a leading advocate for LGBTQ+ awareness in hockey more than a decade ago after his son Brendan came out publicly. The Burke family helped to launch the advocacy group You Can Play, which became a voice to combat homophobia in sports. “I would view this as a much bigger setback if I didn’t view it as ‘we’re still going the right way,’” Burke said in an interview with The Athletic. “In other words: As disappointed as I am, it’s important that people realize these are setbacks of a minor nature, in my view, in terms of where we are, versus where we were 12 years ago. “And I don’t think anyone should lose sight of that.” Bettman on Provorov controversy. “Whether you choose to embrace and make a statement on behalf of a cause affirmatively, if you choose not to do that, doesn’t necessarily make you a bigot,” Bettman said Saturday. “I’m sure you don’t endorse every single charity that solicits you, and you don’t participate in every social cause. You pick and choose the ones that are important to you. The ones you don’t choose to do don’t necessarily make you bigoted, misogynistic or homophobic or racist.” At the time of the Provorov incident, Bettman said “when you look at all of our players and the commitments that they’ve made to social causes and making our game welcoming and inclusive, let’s focus on the 700 that embrace it and not one or two that may have some issues for their own personal reasons.” “We’re trying to be open, welcoming and inclusive,” Bettman said Saturday. “And within parameters being welcoming and diverse and inclusive requires, to a line, which gets drawn in each case, that you’re tolerant, to a point, of various views.”
  20. hoo boy... keith sure put on some weight in the last 20 years
