135: Jordan Eberle 136: Zach Parise

It's almost as if nobody remembers what this team looked like the last time it was actually good.

Somebody will sign him.

Mother####ing Jay McKee's shin pads...

Meh.

Postscript: had it again tonight, colleague had a six with him. Much better. Think I got a bad/old batch originally.

My boss, and specifically the relationship I have with him, is awesome. I'm currently in Richmond for a three day CLE bonanza. Current circumstances plus things going on with me plus hotel room by myself plus a liter of Bushmills (I didn't drink all of it, relax. Had help) equals me sending in my resignation in a profanity laced email tirade at three in the morning. 8:00 rolls around, I get a call. Boss: "You tied one on last night, I can tell by the spelling." Me: "Christ, I forgot about that email" Boss: "You want me to put it with the others? (which means deleted)" Me: "Yup." Boss: "Alright, we'll go shooting when you get back." Me: "fantastic." I said some hilariously awful things. Dude gets me, for which I am grateful. I do not recommend this in most situations.

Whoops, sorry boys, long day. Anyway: 105: Sebastian Aho 106: Kyle Okposo

I think it says something about the way we're collectively looking at this that the next ten highest available players on my list are all goalies.

Been picked, by me. That's it, you get Hossa.

Red Sox players embracing their inner masshole. http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2017/07/23/shaughnessy/LFEh4ADdxNLjW2B7UWEVrJ/story.html?s_campaign=bostonglobe%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter Here's the thing. Eckersley has won a World Series, and signs his name with "HOF" at the end. For David Price, or anyone to contend that he doesn't understand the game is idiotic. So what, Eck pointed out that a player's (not Price's, incidentally) bad stats were indeed bad. Grow a pair. Now, I think Boston should be razed and the earth salted so nothing ever grows again at the best of times, but no matter what team and what what sport for that matter, have a little class. The bad player in question has to know it, so go do something about it.

Plus which, JBOT actively went out and traded for Beaulieu. Would tend to indicate that he'd be more motivated to get a contract done in his case.

I'd rather one of them be forced to take Hossa. Moulson and Gorges will both do at least one thing this coming season. :P

Elysian Space Dust IPA. Drinking it now, not enjoying it very much. 8.2% alcohol, and you can taste every bit of it. The only other beer I've ever had that stings as much (indeed, ten times worse) was Brooklyn's chocolate stout. That nonsense is effectively what happens when you drop a tootsie roll into a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Anyway, morning beers. The best thing about night shift.

I don't know if my methodology was flawed or if they are in fact this screwed, but I went in and did a list of 250 players for this. There are exactly three Vancouver players on it. The first one is at 194.

And a Pu, Larsson, and Zemgus. Just no.

I don't doubt that it can / will actually be better in reality than the lineup posited in the article. That lineup though, is hot garbage.

Let's all hope so.

Quote: "On average an NHL team is twice as likely to generate a shot attempt with a carry-in vs. a dump in, so allowing a team to freely enter the zone instantly lowers your odds of preventing a shot attempt against." This is making me so angry at Disco all over again...

That whole left side is not good.

75. Wayne Simmonds 76. Rasmus Ristolainen

Cy Hgsn

Nice.

NS, you complete me.

Y'all remember how that went for Sundin, right? Best possible outcome, but still a possible outcome...
