Lol and just saw an ad for DSC for the first time in forever. What are the chances?

Missed the first period, but like what I'm reading about Bogo so far... more, please!

:thumbsup:

:clapping: edit: what happened to the clapping emoticon? (And you already had Dallas at #8.)

:( Wish I lived closer; I'd take them off your hands!

He is, but should he be stating that publicly? I think it's immature on his part, but I get that he's frustrated by the situation. He probably won't be much better off tonight with Ellis and Hodgson, unfortunately.

The team needs to be viable for the league's best interests; obviously I would prefer they find a way to generate enough interest in the Phoenix area to keep them there, but if they relocate to Seattle or Vegas, they'll face the same difficulty building a fanbase without a star and/or winning record.

Because it's not about ME; it's about what is good for the league in general. Arizona desperately needs something to latch onto as they attempt to become a viable franchise (whether or not they end up relocating). They almost had that and were denied the golden opportunity to build off their deepest post-season run when the following season was delayed and severely shortened by the last lockout. (And I can watch them on tv wherever they play with GCL.)

;)

Some of that is fair, but this is the part that irked me: To be fair, it isn't clear from here if Larsson actually said this or Nolan said it based on Larsson's comments about being on the 4th line. ------------------------------------ I can't believe they're going to scratch Strachan in favor of Benoit and pair him with Bogosian... UGH. http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/preview?id=2014020835&navid=nhl:topheads Edit: also confirmed that Stewart is in.

My reasons: 1. Ottawa 2. Toronto 3. Boston 4. Detroit If they're going anywhere but Buffalo, I want them in a franchise that needs help expanding its fanbase (i.e. Arizona).

What is wrong with you?!? :P Why not go whole-hog and add Detroit and Boston to the list?

lol well I am a good bit south (and east) of you, I believe. ;) But yes, relative to the folks in upstate NY I shouldn't complain! Thank God for my new heat pump.

Tank had it, but yes he can play in the AHL since he's currently college-eligible (think Girgensons) vs. Canadian minors eligible.

I know I soured on Larsson a bit after he was whining about his last demotion and throwing his teammates under the bus. Some of it could be on Nolan for not putting him in a place to succeed, but it's also on Larsson to act like a professional and earn that chance. Looking forward to seeing Bogo in action tonight.

Air temp currently +12F, but wind chill is -5F. Overnight through early tomorrow morning the air temp is going to be in the negative, though. When did I move to Minnesota??

So terrible... way too young. RIP, Steve. :cry:

We all cope in different ways. This season has tested even the most die-hard among us. Absolutely.

Truth. Good avatar update, btw.

:lol:

The Cliff's Notes version: he's a Sabres fan living in Florida, and out of frustration with the current Sabres has decided to spend more time supporting the Panthers the remaining season (thus the avatar change).

Yeah, but it's the NHL, so... I think we need Eleven to work out the logic. Neither are MFTs, but Seguin is kind of a star and was injured, so those probably factor in (even if they shouldn't).

:sick:

Kulikov has an in-person hearing scheduled, suspended pending: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=753348 Seguin could miss 3-6 weeks: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=753304

Much as the team has been unenjoyable to watch, it's very odd that they've ended up with 4 days off in the middle of Feb. for no apparent reason.
