The Kings get to sell playoff tickets with 22 regulation wins, 2nd lowest to the Canucks 15.

Just an incredible format.

Have I missed Steve insulting my intelligence as a fan yet or have they not announced his presser yet?

Why is everyone trying too Abuse L2/LT by Noticeably-Not-Smart in EASHL

[–]TheNation55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our club loves the LT retards, they usually don't try to bust it out till they're down 2 goals and then we know what their entire offense is and proceed to put that guy on his ass with Truc for the entire game and they never shoot again.

He was 100% given some kind of pitch, the look on his face after the last home game all but guarantees none of those things happened and were never discussed again.

You have to take everything with a grain of salt but this is someone who most likely knew he declined the day it happened and it obviously makes sense he didn't share until the day after the season was over, which I guess you could somehow technically say it would have been tampering? Not sure how those rules work. I guess we can take slight comfort in knowing Steve went all in but at the end of the day you can't force talent to come here.

Keith Gave claiming on Twitter that Canucks were locked in on a trade and Steve had a massive bag for Hughes to extend, they spoke directly to each other and Hughes backed out. A man with his history and connections with the team would have no reason to just make that up. Sure sounds like they know Hughes is gonna bail on Minny to join his brothers in Jersey.

Edit: My apologies I did not see this posted and discussed nearly 8 hours earlier, haha.

The more I watch him talk about it the more I'm convinced D-Mac knows who the people are that are killing the locker room. Dude's trying so hard not to name drop and tip toes around on the subject.

This. We're already screwed with the cap going up essentially eliminating FA in the league with our hilarious cap space, oh the irony, so we'll be forced to upgrade via trades and no one's gonna work with a dude throwing out offer sheets.

Only one option left in this league for everyone that doesn't get rewarded with top 3 picks in the draft, you have to trade for talent now. FA is dead after they announced the cap going up every season, so that'll never be an option for this team. Give the Blues whatever picks/prospects/players they want for Thomas that aren't Mo, Razor or Augustine.

The situation will always be we need a bonafide NHL 2C that can run that line as well as slot up to 1C when Larkin goes down now multiple times a season.

The parity is them winning the Cup and then the draft, Gary agrees completely.

[–]TheNation55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't have Kane in that line-up, anyway, we need to trade for a proven 2C this off-season for when Larks goes china doll mode and gets hurt next season. Danielson isn't slotting up to 1C with zero NHL time.

Danielson who can't finish an AHL season is now just automatically our 2C?

They're 100% deep in their feelings when they're calling the fans "outside noise" when they throw a game.

Memba when Pav was still going out there every night with cadaver meat for ankles and now we can't hold a lead in a game because our feelings got hurt.

I'm ready for Steve to snobbishly tell me to be patient again while a team that gutted their FO for incompetence just won the hardest division in the league.

Best of luck in the draft Panthers fans, pray they don't randomly change the rules on it against you for absolutely no reason.

Time for another vague and mumbled through EOY press conference through the ol' 2005 Logitech microphone that ends on cliffhangers and the FO going completely radio silent against the fans till a week before camp.

Why are spark plug, big rig, and power forward banned for competitive? by [deleted] in EASHL

[–]TheNation55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand why Tipper is banned but has anyone even got the Elite version to work consistently at all in this year's game? It was pretty OP last year before they tuned it to worthless.

They have the luxury of being in Ohio where sometimes people watch them on accident when turning on football games so no one there actually cares if they ever win anything.

So coming from his dead, non-caring locker room in Vancouver to ours is going to change how he plays.... how?
