It’s just “Ukraine”. As it, “Russia has invaded Ukraine”. Correct. I don't live in The Canada. You don't live in The USA ... never mind that one. It's not The Russia. The Sweeden. The Italy. The France. The Germany. The Poland ...

My point was that this is an extremely common thing (place names spelled differently in different languages. It’s not a Russia-Ukraine thing. If we want to be really serious, then the word “Kiev” is certainly not Russian. Russian uses an entirely different alphabet. It’s the Russian alphabet spelling transcribed into the Latin alphabet, which is an in exact science anyway. By all means, Latin alphabet users should spell it the way that Ukraine requests. But the spelling difference isn’t something that Russia created in order to diminish Ukraine. It’s a super common thing that happens with place names worldwide. Bombay vs Mumbai. Peking vs Beijing. Mispronunciations of cities is common and changes over time. I had a Ukrainian neighbor who was from Kiev (that is how she said it) after WWII. It is an interesting topic for me.

French Collection Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 Leafs lose to the Desert Dogs in OT. Go get ‘‘em Sabres!
Flashsabre Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 Leafs goaltending is a disaster right now. Playing TB or Florida in the first round will be ugly. 2

Hottest offense in the league in the desert. Since defeating the Avs 2-1, the Coyotes have scored 22 goals in their last 3 games. Winners of 4 straight. Should never have traded Hutton. That's not how you tank.

LGR4GM Posted March 12, 2022 Report Posted March 12, 2022 Apparently the Knights like punching ppl in vulnerable positions like on the ice and when they aren't looking.

I hope that the puck doesn’t slide to next year too. I think the chances of it being top 10 are pretty small though. Vegas would need to lose at least 4-5 more conservative to get down in the top ten range, and the for draft slots in the 16-12 range the odds of moving up with the lottery range from just 2-5% so that feels very safe. I hope they miss the playoffs. I would rather the pick slide to 2023 than for Vegas to make a run to the conference finals and end up with a pick 29-32. 1

What does the Vegas cap situation look like for next year? Are they going to be forced to have a yard sale?

That’s contract looks like it’s going to be an anchor around their neck for sometime. Looks like Reilly Smith will be gone. Likely a couple more, depending on their contracts.

It’ll suck in four years, but he’s still playing at a 1C level. Better than a point per game.

You're talking about a team that's 83mil against the cap next year with 2 rfa defenders and 4 rfa forwards, plus some questionable goaltending.
