Eleven

I remember getting a red card in a game. Followed very shortly by my father (asst. coach) getting a red card because he was angry that I got a red card. We both were in a LOT of trouble with my mother when we got home about an hour before we were expected. (FWIW, the opponent in my situation also got tossed out, and all we were doing was elbowing each other and joking around; we were friendly.)

To be fair, if any one of us ran a draft, she or he would probably be at least as successful as the average GM. I know we focus on Sabres stinkers here, as we should, but wow, there is a wonderful world of GMs screwing up out there.

I was "meh" on this pick, but because you know prospects better than almost anyone, I've downgraded to "meh minus."

I'm ok with this. Having another center in the pipeline is never bad. But I do wonder whether he will be an NHL regular. (Especially because when you google his name, you get a picture of some baseball player who looks exactly like the guy from Eastbound and Down.)

--Coaches now have *unlimited* video challenges for goaltender interference, offside, and "missed calls in the offensive zone that lead to goals" (think hand passes and pucks that hit netting). --First incorrect challenge is a delay-of-game minor. Second incorrect challenge, a double minor. --On-ice officials will review major and match penalties to make sure they are warranted. --Double minors for high sticking will be reviewed to ensure that it indeed was the opponent's stick that made contact. Per Scott Burnside of The Athletic. This should make games go smoothly...

I’m not.

2006, 07, and 10 don’t happen without him. The system depended upon his stellar play. Stats or not.

Did the restraining order expire already?

I don’t want to insult you by using this as a cure for insomnia, so I’ll have to listen tomorrow, but I am looking forward to it.

This is why we cannot have nice things.This is what I meant about pushing personal agendas, and you knew that, and you selfishly chose to push yourself ahead of the community yet again. I guess someone else can try again. This lasted 12 hours. Thanks again, PA.

I started a sandbox for youfor that. Let’s not ruin another thread.

How Pronger. I mean convenient.

I see another Willie Nylander situation brewing.

Well, then. It's going to be a long summer for the Leaves.

Arbitration a possibility?

For all manner of debates regarding whether Terry and Kim Pegula are "qualified" to own and operate a sports team, whatever that term means. Have at it. I'll see myself out.

Please don't do this. It's not the new season yet.

Done.

This is a thread for discussing general league-wide news. Things like rule changes, uniform changes, players'/coaches' lives, yes, even league initiatives, etc. There are threads for trades, free agency, draft, etc. This is not a thread for pushing personal agendas. I won't even mention Lindy Ruff (well, except for in this sentence) unless there's actual news about him. If it devolves like the last thread did, I'm locking it.

It's going to be Pettersson.

Anaheim is buying out Corey Perry.

I like the idea of joint practices. The Bills have conducted them with Cleveland in the past but that's inappropriate this year (Cleveland is on the schedule). And they're going to be down there anyway for the second preseason game.

Ah, forgot about the injuries...

@5th line wingnutt where is that list from?

Why do I feel like an average of just over 50 yards per game and .67 of a touchdown per game isn't exactly "torching"?
