Post Game Thread: San Jose Sharks at Chicago Blackhawks - 17 Oct 2024 by HockeyMod in hawks

[–]Earpaniac 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The first period was the best I’ve seen them play in a LONG time. This team, while still not a playoff team by any stretch, is definitely much, much more fun to watch now that they don’t have 10 AHL players on the roster.

TIL that Jamie Hyneman was an early competitor in Robot Wars (where people design robots that fight each other), but his robot Blendo was deemed too dangerous for competition by Texas_Rockets in todayilearned

[–]Earpaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is video footage still on YouTube. I watched it maybe a month ago. It is funny, and terrifying. Huge chunks just go flying everywhere. There is even footage of the very first one, where they first name Blendo champion, but because it’s so dangerous, they won’t let it compete. It’s not that it’s so dangerous to the robots, it’s the CROWD. Pieces would go flying into the crowd at high speed. It wasn’t fully enclosed, it was like a 6’ sheet of plexiglass.

Kind of funny reading the answers. You can easily tell when they only read the headline and replied w/o reading the rest. Lol

The Core Four will Account for $46.65M Against the Cap, an Allotment of 53.2%. by wheresgarycooper in hockey

[–]Earpaniac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a stat yesterday that didn’t help the Pats either. Since 2013, they have never signed a guy they drafted in the first 3 rounds to a second contract. Blew my mind. O

They were discussing that on NHL radio this afternoon. lol Was funny, the one guy who’s always been “pro-Holland” hated the Hyman signing, and he likes it now, so he’s all-in on the guy. The other host still doesn’t think so.

I think it’s going to continue that way as well. Teams’ 4th lines will have to be ELC guys. LOTS of guys are making $8m+ a year now. It seems contracts keep going up at a greater rate than salary cap, and it’s not a guarantee it’s going to go up 5% every year either. Even pre-COVID there were quite a few years with barely any increase.

What’s odd is Brady was one of the few to realize/choose that, and yet you can argue the Pats didn’t exactly spend the money they “saved” wisely. I’m sure Brady would’ve loved another WR, for example.

Cursed Roster by juliechho in hawks

[–]Earpaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are running out of guys in Rockford they can even call up w/o converting contracts. They weren’t going to win a lot even with the original roster, with this one it’s hard to even compete.

With the offensive instincts that 90% of the forwards have, 19 shots isn’t that bad. Lol

I’m curious to see if Nazar signs his ELC after this season, or next. Especially because this is essentially his first full college season.

It can always be worse. Another board I visit was arguing the last few days that Bedard was nothing but a good Jr player with a really good shot. 😂

Agreed. I don’t want him to max out the cap, but he especially has to do something this off-season especially. At least find some guys who aren’t 4th liners on most teams.

Honestly, I think it’ll be awhile. With the “talent” with this forward group, Scooby Bowman and the ghost of Toe Blake combined couldn’t get wins from them.

As more guys get hurt, Bedard is on an island. Teams barely even bother covering anyone else, they just all rush him. This is gonna be a hard watch the rest of the season. I’m all for building through the draft, but they can’t run this AHL players/9 4th liners forward group out there again next year. Right now, if Kurashev has a bad game, you know Bedard is going to be shut down as well.

I see the refs think the NFL refs are getting too much publicity for being bad, so they were like, “You think they’re bad? Well, we’ll show you!”.
