Hoss Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I know Friedman reported yesterday that Edmonton brass said they will absolutely not be moving Eberle because of how he's fit with McDavid so well. My guess is that they'll be dealing Nuge this offseason for a dman. I wonder if they talk to Minnesota about Nuge for Brodin +? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 You really wouldn't go to an outdoor game? If it's 80 degrees, with 30 minutes of my house with free beer then yes, yes I would go to an outdoor game. Freezing my dick off for 3+ hours, drinking 10 dollar beers and driving 90 minutes to watch what will look like bubble hockey from my seat, no thanks.

WildCard Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I know Friedman reported yesterday that Edmonton brass said they will absolutely not be moving Eberle because of how he's fit with McDavid so well. My guess is that they'll be dealing Nuge this offseason for a dman. I wonder if they talk to Minnesota about Nuge for Brodin +? Everything I've heard points to RNH gone, and probably Yak too. They want to have Mcdvaid and Drasaitl as the 1-2 punch there, and jet off RNH for a #1 d-man as you say. I would love, love to get RNH or Hall, but I haven't heard anything of Hall being available, and RNH will cost Risto level. Is Brodin really that good? I think RNH gets moved at the draft, so off the top of my head, teams that could have the ammo for him and would be interested, would be: Philly, St.Louis, and Anaheim. To go along with the Wild of course. And, the Wild could offer some real nice vets to the Oilers too. With Yeo fired and Pommers/Vanek not doing too much, they could be in line for a major roster overhaul. I read somewhere that their in some serious cap trouble, and Koivu may become available too If it's 80 degrees, with 30 minutes of my house with free beer then yes, yes I would go to an outdoor game.

Yeeeeeeap. Jack put up similar number with much worse linemates. You have been oozing hyperbole lately. From interpreting the "Toews is the 8th best player in the league" as "the board has turned on Toews!" to the Stamkos stuff, and now this. I know you've been programmed to produce scorching hot takes to attract clicks, but it gets tiresome here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I know you've been programmed to produce scorching hot takes to attract clicks, but it gets tiresome here. This couldn't be further from the truth, but hell, just throw it out there and hope nobody notices. If you haven't noticed I've been railing against the local media for some time around here for all this "hot takes" and "meme-y" . It's all a joke. There's a ton of great reporting throughout the state and country, but boy do the local reporters love themselves. My current role has zilch to do with clicks.

Those sweaters make me think of Trevor Linden, Cliff Ronning and Pavel Bure in NHL 94. I played with Vancouver all time. That line was unstoppable.

inkman Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 This. I used to trade for Bure as well. A line a Bure-LaFontaine-Mogilny was too much fun. When I got real good I would see if I could score more than a goal a minute. Don't think I ever did but had plenty of 30 & 40 goal games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like collecting vintage jerseys too, but I like the color scheme and think they are wayyyyyyyy better than the current Vancouver one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I like them for the vintage touch but otherwise they're ugly. Wear them once for the $$$ and the nostalgia then never again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 McDavids first shootout attempt was totally underwhelming. Normally he is coming in with so much speed when he carries the puck and that is one of his many strengths so on his first shootout attempt he slows it down to a crawl and ...it was just bad. Jitters ? Also why is it his first attempt ? Odd coaching decision to not use him in that situation before imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I am amazed that so many shootout participants come in at slow speed. I would think that speed would be an advantage here. Expecially with the goalies conditioned to slow speed attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Flyers - Rangers on national tv. About to be some fights for the Simmonds incident Pretty meh fight. I expect Simmonds will get into another one 2 fights in the first minute. Big hitting, and actual emotion. Fun game so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorner Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 It drives me nuckin futs.

I'm sure he could change it up to something more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I like the Coyotes original jerseys and they are pretty universally reviled, so what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) There's just way too much going on in the old Yote's jersey. I love their new ones though. So nice Edit: Actually, I liked their last year ones, without that stupid section of black on the arms Edited February 15, 2016 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
