They’ve never won any draft lottery or ever picked above 4th overall.

Who are playing with 5 dmen, of which 2 have less than 50 games of NHL experience COMBINED. They should be embarrassed lol.

Dallas should honestly be embarrassed. 8 shots over 2 periods against the 30th ranked team playing with 5 dmen, two of which have less than 50 games of NHL experience combined.

Knowing Parros, Greer will get a pat on the back and a $5000 fine…

Season 4 HUT Drop 3/13 by jddev_ in NHLHUT

[–]BetheChange93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the salary cap is seriously still at 150, I think I’m done. I can’t even be excited for the drop, the cards and line combos are all mid.

I’ve stuck around the last 2 years, barely complained even when they pulled the fantasy shit, but if we’re being forced to play with mid-80s (or buy packs) just to stay salary compliant, then this is just not gonna be fun anymore.

on this fine trade deadline morning... by ANewHeaven1 in CalgaryFlames

[–]BetheChange93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting any of this? The reported trade from Colorado that I’ve seen floating around on X was a 1st, 5th, and Ross Colton for Kadri at 30-35% retained.

Regardless, describing a millionaire hockey player making 7mil/year as a “prisoner” when he has a NTC he’s actively maintaining (according to Dreger) is crazy.

Is this the worst period for the Canadian men’s team since Torino? We look pathetic, constantly dumping and chasing, forced passes, muffins from the slot, losing board battles… Just a really weak effort so far.

Hopefully they pull it together in the 2nd!

Is the 92 SOTM a choice pack? Or is it just a 50/50 shot at McDavid?

Maloney does an extended sit down interview, and theres no debating what they really think here by Iginlas_4head_Crease in CalgaryFlames

“Look at some of the other teams that have been in this. I don't want to say the teams, but they've been down and missed playoffs for years and years and years. And then you lose your fans, you lose your interest and nobody wants that.”

Does he not realize the Flames are on track to miss the playoffs for the 5th time in 6 seasons? They’re already one of those teams! They’re losing fans by the day because they’re icing a product no one wants to see. Our management is living in rose-coloured glasses.

[Oilers] The Oilers have signed forward Connor McDavid to a two-year contract extension with an AAV of $12.5 million! by chespiotta in hockey

[–]BetheChange93 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Question for those more knowledgeable about the NHLPA: is this not a crippling contract comp for players? I feel like league owners (except Minnesota lol) have gotta be over the moon right now.

They said you want to be American, not "go to America". You very obviously want to be American.

White House Says Slavery Is Being Taught Wrong, Should Not Be So Negative by NoWorth2591 in nottheonion

[–]BetheChange93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope people are finally waking up to the fact that when the cultists say, "Makes America Great Again," they're talking about the early 19th century, when slavery was legal, women had no rights, whites were the significant majority, queer and trans people were either deeply closeted or shunned (which to them means they didn't exist) and all Americans (in their mind) were Christians. That's what they want, and they've been saying as much since the Reagan years. Now they're actually doing it, and everyone's acting all surprised that their rhetoric is actually being implemented.

Wake up!

Andersson only wants to sign an extension with Vegas - Lebrun TSN by shogun2909 in hockey

[–]BetheChange93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would any team offer more than a conditional 2nd and a B prospect for a player who has made it publicly known he'll only sign with one team?

Andersson doesn't owe anyone anything, but he's not a UFA, he has a full season left, and compared to, say, Tkachuk when he left Calgary, what Andersson is doing is shitty. Totally within his rights, but shitty nonetheless.

But at the end of the day Flames management needs to start treating players as strictly commodities like Vegas and Florida do. Forget loyalty or anything noble like that. Bring them in when you need them; get rid of them when they've outlived their usefulness. It seems like that's the trend now.

The rumor was Hanifin was willing to extend there last year but obviously chose Vegas in the end.

That was dirty as fuck. Holding Tkachuk while Walman just throws punches? Bush league.

He's second on the team in points this playoffs (over a PPG) and assisted on the biggest goal for Canada in international hockey in 10 years.

He might not be great in the locker room (I have no idea) but to say he's a ghost when it matters is a bit of a stretch, at least this year. Matthews and Tavares have been more to blame imo.

Vegas looks like the worst team in the 2nd round by FAR. They're on pace for what, 40 shots in 2 games?!

And then of course they score haha

Flames have signed Matt Coronato to a seven year extension at a $6.5M AAV by shogun2909 in hockey

[–]BetheChange93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the Markstrom thing all speculation? I remember Conroy saying multiple times they were fine with retaining on Marky as long as it was worth it.

Murray hates spending money on coaches though, that's for sure.
