  1. Falcons getting lucky with that penalty.
  2. Where's the guy who said the playoff system needs to be changed?
  3. I wonder if the refs have to do a bag skate if they actually work a game professionally.  We'd have better officiating from the Zamboni driver.

  4. RIP Minus button :(

      An idea for further updates, maybe the mods have the authority to limit the users that abuse it?

       

      I've seen that the biggest problem is when a person is minused, they will click on the persons who minused thems account and minus their recent posts. And then a minus war occurs. (Sorry for the $&!#ty explanation).

      That happens but in my experience it's pretty obvious when that happens and I just plus the recipient  to try to balance it out.

  5. I'm no fan of No Show Joe but Kadri really crossed a line there.  You just don't mess with a guy's beard.

      maybe he'll shave that road kill looking thing now. But a new low for Kadri for sure. I'm just glad it wasn't Burrows.

      Never mess with another man's beard.

      Gotta admit though, when Kadri is at peak SOB-edness, he's a very effective player. I'd HATE to play a playoff series against him.

  6. 4 is perfect. Any more and you run the risk of lowering the importance of regular season games. Nothing's broken here Every single game today has been outstanding so far and I expect the rubber match tonight to be no exception.
  7. Even just sourcing yourself and paying someone for assembly will get you better results: My current build. Kept drives and OS from old build, everything else brand new. Runs everything at max settings for 1080p 60 fps..
  8. There's a lot to Juolevi that reminds me of Luc Bourdon (RIP). Really solid defensively, good hockey sense, makes a good outlet pass and a great partner for a more offensive-minded guy. Bourdon also went immediately before a guy who went on to produce a lot of points, while Luc stayed in junior and had to refine his craft further in the AHL. A ton of people would complain that we should have drafted Kopitar. Sadly, Luc passed away just as he was starting to show why we drafted him at the spot we did. We've shied from taking defensemen in the first round since Bourdon, which isn't the best way to build a balanced team. As a fan base, we can learn from Luc's time with us and accept that defensemen who play his game often have to go through a longer process to become polished NHLers. OJ may never be a big point producer, but he'll be a stabilizing influence on the back end who can be relied on in any situation. That's a hell of a hockey player and a good use of the pick.
  9. Really depends how much he fills out during the summer. I'm not going to be worried about him regardless of where he plays. I trust Benning and Green to make that decision appropriately.
  10. I like Gadjovich better with Horvat and Virt with Pettersson Gadjovich-Horvat-Boeser Dahlen-Pettersson-Virtanen Ericksson-Gaudette-Lind Gaunce-Sutter-McEwan Lots of interchangeable parts but that's how I see our lineup in a couple of years with no major additions at forward. Baer and Granlund get moved for picks once these kids are cracking the lineup. I think we're stuck with Loui. I like Pettersson better at center but if we bring in another top 6 guy through trade/UFA he can easily slide up.
  11. Also, our PP kinda sucks right now. Adding a guy who can make things happen with the man advantage doesn't sound too terrible to me.
  12. Respect for eating a little bit of crow. Even better now that Gadjovich is turning out to be a gem as well to fill that need!
  13. Really tempted to bring up the pages of people whining about the pick. If I remember correctly, there was a definite minority of us who were pleased with the selection.
  14. Serious question here: When's the last time we had a guy playing for Canada in the WJHC who wasn't a first rounder? As a bonus, Gadjovich is a major contributor so far in the tournament. Edit. Looks like Mike Peca was the most recent one unless I'm missing someone.
  15. It's just a slap in the face to the school that invested in you and got you to that point though. Just strikes me as something a team-first guy wouldn't do.
  16. I still like both the Virt and the Juolevi picks and think they both could have been considered the BPA at that spot.
  17. Guaranteed top 4 is good enough for me. Dahlin would be nice but I trust Benning to make the right call no matter what our spot is. Really hoping we can pick up a late 1st at the deadline Remember how frustrated people were that we only got the 5th overall pick? I'd take Pettersson over any of his draft class right now.
  18. He was quietly effective. You don't play that amount of minutes with the D Finland has unless your coach likes how you're playing.
  19. Having these 2 guys potentially in the top 6 will help immensely with team toughness. Gadjovich may need to work on his skating a bit, but his defensive game is very impressive. He was all over the ice and a standout for Team Canada today.
  20. Congrats on the win! We've had so many tight games over the last 3 years (two separate games being decided by half a point) you deserve to finally steamroll me. Definitely returning next year.
