Glendale is going to hire John Chayka, a 26 year old, as their GM? If Tippett wanted more control, I guess that's the best way to do it.

Ah OK. I didn't see what happened, just read the story.

I don't get it, what did he do that's different from everybody else who attends their first game?

In the long run, the Tea Party is the reason we have Trump.

The Tea Party....................................... Remember them?

Good points.

Oh man, I completely forgot the contracts they had. $10.4mil cap hit for two more years for goaltending. Wow................

I've always said that good goaltenders (key word: good) are a dime a dozen, and they are. But Dallas can't seem to find ten cents. These two are just pitiful, you can only blame the defense for so long.

That was a fantastic non-call on Boyle. Gotta love the consistency.

Apparently the NHL does not consider the KHL a professional league. http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=24931 "To be eligible for the award, a player cannot have played more than 25 games in any single preceding season nor in six or more games in each of any two preceding seasons in any major professional league."

Is this a precursor for a 'smells that you can't get out of your head' thread?

Since they didn't exercise his 5th year, he's going to be a free agent after this year anyways. I'm sure they could sign him if they wanted him back and he accepts a backup role.

Not to mention the Oilers actually had a worse record with him in the lineup.

So the Bills not exercising EJ's 5th year of his contract, he's ONLY going to make approx $3,000,000 this year as a backup? That must suck........... I don't know why the Bills didn't exercise the $11,000,000 option. :rolleyes:

Yup, and no less ludicrous.

Oilers with McDavid: .822 points/game Oilers without McDavid: .892 points/game McDavid didn't even make a difference for his team when he did play. I could see if the Oilers won a ton of games with McDavid in the lineup, but they didn't.

I take it Abdelkader isn't going to be suspended for pummeling somebody unwillingly while having him pinned to the ice.

I think the title of the thread needs to be changed then, it discriminates against our northern friends that can't sweat. :D

That Dylan Larkin train sure ran out of steam pretty quickly.

Do people even sweat in Nova Scotia? B-)

Good point, the games are very dependent on the competency of the officiating. What surprised me about those numbers is how little they deviated with the exception of the one outlier.

Goals per game average/regular season: 2012-13: 5.44 2013-14: 5.48 2014-15: 5.46 2015-16: 5.42 Goals per game average/playoffs: 2012-13: 5.02 2013-14: 5.59 2014-15: 5.03 2015-16: 5.10

The rest of the system needs fixing too, that doesn't mean we should go ahead and keep abusing it. Colleges themselves are not immune to this either.
