  1. Would be a smart move. Campbell really turned things around when he became a complimentary piece, and not the key player on a D pair.
  2. Panthers salary dumped Savard. Must be getting ready to spend some $$$. They're about to sign Trochek long term, but I don't think that's it.
  3. Murray's smart, he's waiting until the team gets better to hire a new coach.
  4. 2nd time in five years that both coaches in the Cup Final were in their first year with their team.
  5. Good points from both. At first I was going to say LGR is crazy. No way would I risk giving up that much for one player. But I forgot about the hometown thing. Knowing that the Leaves could milk this for all it's worth so LGR's proposal makes sense now. I know it's just a rumor at this point, and there's bound to be many more before the draft, but this could be an interesting combination heading up to the draft. A rookie 27 year old GM vs. a seasoned veteran with 3 Cups to his name.
  6. Rumors are that Glendale is willing to offer BOTH of their first round picks AND one of either Domi or Dvorak to Toronto for Matthews. I just don't know what to say. I'm on my phone, not going to post links to the rumors. Just take my word for it. :D
  7. So, have we come to a conclusion?
  8. The league continues to think they want you to be entertained with one goal games that go down to the last second. By knocking down the GPG average to about five goals total and make it so the average goaltender has a 945 save percentage, you're more likely to watch the game in its entirety. When, in actuality, it's a matter of watching it at all. If you happen to catch your favorite team play a super exciting game that kept you glued to the TV for two and a half hours, you're probably safe to skip the next four games because the odds are pretty slim there will be another one for a while. And I agree, the networks aren't killing the game. But they sure as hell aren't helping the cause.
  9. So, at this point, does Pillsbury deserve the Conn Smythe?
  10. At some point you need to put aside the factors like TV contracts, channel availability, fluctuating Canadian dollar, broadcast quality.................. and accept the fact that the on-ice product is the main reason for all of this. I know some still think the game is exciting, but the vast majority of people I know thinks the product sucks. Unless there are some big changes in the works to change the game, TV contracts and salary caps will be the least of our concerns.
  11. Napoleon cares not about the state of the sport, only the almighty dollar. No way he does anything if it doesn't come with the $500,000,000 bonus.
  12. Is it just me, or does Austin Matthews look like Jack White?
  13. So of us can't get NHL Network either, no matter how premium of a package we buy.
  14. Hahahahahaha!! I love the unintended consequences of exploiting loopholes by idiots that can't accept rules for which they were intended. https://twitter.com/eddya52/status/739535936560631808
  15. You know where to find me, I'm always up for a ride. ;)
  16. Well, if you ever find your way down here................... I'll see if I can find somebody that knows the area. :D
  17. I wanted Kessel when he was available in Toronto. And I'd still take him and his salary over Stamkos and what he'll end up making.
  18. Radulov looking for 2yr/$15mil to play in the NHL. He should be playing baseball because he's swinging for the fences. That's ridiculous.
  19. Matthews did 8 pull-ups.
  20. IRISFAWPATDLTTTFW
  21. Maybe it's time to switch to more gender-neutral names. Personally, I think the government should stop assuming that all hurricanes identify as hurricanes. Who's to say some don't identify as tornadoes? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2014/06/02/female-named-hurricanes-kill-more-than-male-because-people-dont-respect-them-study-finds/?postshare=3931464970405769&tid=ss_fb
