      Gotta play the odds and hope for a loss and the 8th spot.  Better lottery odds and it will give JB one more player in the pool to choose from.

       

      One loss won't hurt the culture in the locker room.

      For Calder purposes though, I do want Petey to score a hat trick on Binnington. But if we lose 4-3, I won't complain

      EP40 could score an own goal tonight and he'd still easily win the Calder.  He's a near ppg rookie with an incredible future ahead of him.

  2. Don't you hate it when you're squeezing your way to the bus doors to get off and even when you ask loudly, the people standing right next to the doors don't keep them open for you, and you end up missing your stop, and having to hike uphill back to where you wanted to get off.

  4. I think the TSN Plays of the Year was rigged. For at least 7 hours, the votes were stuck at 37,771 for Hank, and 35,686 for Tatar. Even if you add votes, which I did, and you go back later you'll see 37,771 vs 35,686. Of course, the fan base whose player is currently winning feels less incentive to keep voting. Therefore, more Detroit fans vote and since it maintained the 37,771 vs 35,686 score for at least 7 hours, they kept voting at a high rate, which I couldn't see. The results th...

      This was rigged last year. One of the Datsyuk plays was losing and all of a sudden gained about twenty thousand votes in the last twenty minutes. Ended up a Datsyuk v Datsyuk final...

  5. Finally got around to watching Gravity and Captain Phillips. Captain Phillips is way better.

      Theatrically, Gravity is much better, in 3D on the big screen it's unreal. Story wise tho my man Capt Phill wins without a doubt.

      I like Gravity's sountrack but definitely liked Capt. Philips more.

      I loved Gravity the first time I saw it in theaters. I haven't seen it a second time yet, though. Captain Phillips was good too. That end scene was perfect.

  6. If we keep all Miller, Lack, and Markstrom on the roster all season, how do we split the games? 50, 20,10?

      Isn't there time for one to be sent down before the final roster is set?

      Waive Miller and pray that someone claims him.

    4. Mr.DirtyDangles

      Mr.DirtyDangles

      Miller will play 60 or more guaranteed. He has the fitness desire and experience, Lack will start 20 if he is lucky

  7. So who's better, no bias? Gudbranson or Larsson?

      Better by enough to justify the price or not even close?

       

      Hall>>>>>>>McCann, 2nd Rnd pick

    3. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      Larsson is much better but Hall is an elite winger, maybe top 5 for his position. Larsson, although playing a more important position, probably wouldn't rank in the top 20. He's a complimentary piece in a top 2 pairing. In fact, Juolevi could turn out similar to Larsson.

    4. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      I was reading Larsson's eliteprospects description while checking his point production the last few years, and thought to myself, "Sounds like Juolevi".

  9. Just a reminder that John Madden (Tyler's dad) took the Cup to Trump on his day with it after winning it with the Hawks. Always left a bad taste in my mouth, even since Tyler was drafted.

      you shouldn't be allowed to lift it unless you've won it or a family member of someone who has won it. That's my take on it anyway.. it means less if you see idiots like this goofball lifting it. Or Def Leppard, was it, sitting it upside down..

      Well that didn't last long. Every Canadian team so far has won Game 2 after losing Game 1. Comes down to Calgary to make it 5.

      Kesler's play to delay the the game at the end of game 1 was such a dick move but it was so funny.

  13. How odd is it if the Sedins end their careers with 0 fights? 

     

    Do many players with lengthy careers have 0 fighting majors?

      That was an after whistle fight. It started after a hit on henrik against Chicago (I think) and retaliated. The whistle blew before the fight started so it never counted as a real fight.

      I could see then season working out okay if the SF and Final had 2-3 episodes per match, but with the stagiare being shown as well, there aren't enough episodes. I really want to see the rest of the E10 animated too. If they end the season at the Autumn Leaf Viewing, it'll be even more rushed.

      @Brad Marchand: If that's true, then that makes sense. Though then we shouldn't have brought him up just to sit in the press box earlier this season. Of course, Biega did really good, so all is well.

  17. The record for longest losing streak in the NHL is 17 games by the 74-75 Capitals and 92-93 Sharks. Could the Oilers break the record?

    3. Apple Juice

      Apple Juice

      It's possible... They play the Sharks and Ducks twice in the next 4 games, then the Rangers, Coyotes, and the Sharks again.... Knowing the Sharks, they'll choke and let them win one of the two early ones. They just seem to love losing to bad teams

    4. iLLmAtlc

      iLLmAtlc

      no way. i don't have the stat but i feel like it's really hard to sweep home&home, the hawks' streak ended like that, and oilers have 2 chances at it.

  18. Imagine Dragons' message to Canada was generic as hell. Even the way they generalized it as 'Canada'. I mean, a Canadian band playing in the US wouldn't just say 'Thank you USA!' They'd for sure specify. 'Thank you Dallas, New York, Boston, wherever'.

      I thought the boy band that played at last years Grey Cup was much, much worse. But yeah, these guys were certainly nothing to write home about again. Then again, half time Grey Cup entertainment has been pretty bad for a while now.

  19. I remember a goal the Canucks scored where we kept firing shots and missing the net, repeatedly getting it immediately back to the point until we scored on maybe the third shot. Anybody remember who it was against?
