Smiley, were you a hockey fan back in Swederland?

My European family (Irish/English on my side, German on my wife's) give no fucks about it. All rugby and football for them.

Stumbled onto this fluff piece on Ron Francis' career on the local Fox Sports station. After it ended an infomercial started for a gun cleaner called ZMax Bolt Lube.

It's our second biggest national sport, so yah, kinda. I followed it but didn't have much of a favourite team - I was more into soccer, admittedly.

Basel? Young Boys? Zurich? Grasshopper?

Listening to McGuire today, apparently he played college hockey and football, which is hilarious.

He also mentioned he's heard DSP's name out there as someone being shopped which is also hilarious.

I guess DSP is the odd man out.


There goes my hope of a Habs Version of New Day. Subban,DSP, and Simmonds

Post game celebration will feel a little manufactured after this blasting the Jays have taken. 8-1 Orioles.

Xcel Energy is such a shit company. I'm getting late fees on my energy bill for 50% of my energy bill because of their fucking ineptitude.

It pisses me off that they sponsor the Wild's arena.

Im glad i dont have to deal with them anymore.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I just listened to the new bond theme.


Very very weak. They should of gotten Radiohead as it was Rumoured to be them. Sam Smith is alright but I don't think he was a great choice for a Bond Theme.

Should we make a new thread?

But I like the Panthers. They are the more likeable Florida team.

They don't have to be in Florida in order for you to like them.

 

[imBask]

exactly, they're just fun because they've pretty much never ever been a threat to anyone and they have some players we like and Luongo is hilarious

Tampa will slowly fall back into irrelevance territory once Stamkos is gone too

I love it when imbask gets triggered like a 19 year old women's studies major at Oberlin College by any mention of the Panthers.

EA Sports says its "NHL 16" simulation has the Ducks winning the Presidents' Trophy, symbolic of the best regular-season record, and then defeating the Montreal Canadiens in the Cup final. Anaheim forward Corey Perry claims the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.

This would be an epic battle.

Erik Erlendsson ‏@erlendssonTBO
According to EA Sports simulation using NHL '16 #tblightning top Eastern Conference standings but bow out in the 1st round of playoff to NYI

Sadly I can actually see that happening.

Last year's simulation had the Kings defeating the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final.

Enjoy that bit of trivia, Ducks and Habs fans!

It's a Simulation. so it won't always be right.

 

[MetatronM]

It had the Blues defeating the Penguins in the final the year before.

The year before that it was the Penguins beating the Kings.

The year before that the Penguins beat the Blackhawks.

The year before that had the Canucks beating the Bruins. (Ooh, so close!)


So indeed it is not "always" right.

Semin is getting a huge opportunity this year. I hope he's got his act together and realizes what he's being given. I'm guessing he does and has a really good year.

If you've watched some of the preseason games with the Eller-Galchenyuk-Semin line. It's really good, Semin and Galchenyuk have some great chemistry.and Semin is such a upgrade over PA. I hope he gets back in form when he was with Washington. Flash-DD-Dale might be good too

But I was told that Babcock hates all kids

Long Way to the Top has some really tough jumps near the end, took me quite a while to beat it.

Leave the future Seattle Panthers alone ;_;

And it looks like the NHL GameCenter Live is only $105 for a single team package... Weren't they also looking at fixing the huge lag with a new distributor or something?

Wings fans turning on Babcock has been pretty amusing.

Some Jonas Siegel Leafs updates on Twitter:

A few new combinations at Leafs practice: van Riemsdyk-Kadri-Winnik. Matthias-Bozak-Lupul. Komarov-Holland-Boyes.

As was the case earlier this week, neither William Nylander nor Connor Brown skating with the NHL group this morning.

Babcock looks to have also shaken up the defensive pairings: Phaneuf-Robidas. Rielly-Polak. Gardiner-Harrington. Hunwick-Marincin.

Would appear that James Reimer will start tomorrow in Detroit with Jonathan Bernier to follow on Saturday.

Mike Babcock says he hopes the Blue Jays go on a long run to keep the heat off the Leafs for a while.

Retweet: Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris:
The only "kids" due to play for the #leafs in Detroit tomorrow are Zach Hyman and Kasperi Kapanen.

Babcock: "I like these kids. So are we going to have them here or are they going to play for the Marlies? I don't know."

Leafs had two York University defencemen skating with their second group today: Shayne Rover and Mikhel Poldma.

Some Jonas Siegel Leafs updates on Twitter:

Am I wrong in interpreting all that as "Babcock has no freaking idea of what he'll do with the current roster"?
