NHL Off-Season 2013 |OT| Celebrate Good Times Come On

Nothing new. Sometimes you have to chew on your own. Tabris constantly gives me food poisoning
If all you got is food poisoning, consider yourself lucky. Brain-eating flesh disease seems like the more probable symptom.
 
I wonder if Roy will go out and talk to the goalposts before every game.

Still a huge question mark if he can coach successfully in the NHL.

It is, but more importantly he refused to rejoin the organization unless Josh Kroinke the owner would actually try to make the team good. I interpret this is meaning he will spend the money on players like they used to, and not just keep the teams salary at the minimum allowed in the league. Good times!!!
 
Don't know about the Roy hire, but here is hoping it works out (and if it doesn't, he doesn't tarnish his legacy with the team).

He's definitely the most interesting selection out of the people the hockey commentariat discussed. Former star player, known for his irascibility, a guy who put in nearly a decade's worth of coaching in the minors. I like the decision!
 
Time to stroll in here for real I guess

Didn't you say if Chicago or Pittsburgh lost this round then Habs and Canucks draft picks move up Socreges? Or do both teams need to lose?

Yes, because 27th-30th are for conference finalists. Rest is by regular season standing, so Chicago will be 26th (or Pens). Then... Ducks 25th? Then... I have no idea. Did Montreal have more points than the Canucks? One of us will be 24th, the other 23rd, it seems like. (Unless Boston and/or Pens lose, too)
 
Red, the Habs will probably move up 3 spots from 27th to 24th because they're a higher seed than the Bruins/Rangers, Wings (assuming they win), and the Sharks/Kings. Three of those will make the conference finals, ensuring that they will get the 27-30 spots, pushing down every other team that was above them in the standings.

Canucks will probably move up just two spots from 24th to 22nd, since they're already a lower seed than the Bruins.
 
BUENO. Sorry Marvie, but this is for the greater good, you guys already have your cup, no need to be greedy.
 
Can't wait for Roy's team to get lit up and have him quit to go to Montreal.
Roy will go to Quebec City ever before going back to Montreal, the local media are insane and no sane local player/coach wants to deal with local Montreal media lol

one of the reason why Daniel Briere signed with Philly instead of MTL

Roy of all people would thrive off that. I kind of expect to see him coaching in MTL at some point unless he absolutely bombs in COL.

I detect a mountain of jealousy concerning which team he prefers. You might recall he likes Quebec.
And is Joe Sakic's homeboy and his former backup Craig Billington is also playing huge roles in the organization.

Roy only ever played for 2 teams in the NHL. The only time he quit was when he played for a coach that he didn't get along with, which eventually culminated in that coach not pulling him after giving up 5 goals on 17 shots. I wouldn't exactly say he's got a history of issues with that sort of thing.

Well his son is a douchebag, but I guess it isn't fair to put all the blame on him for that.

You can try to put distance between the fanboys and the company, but in this case they're intrinsically linked. A fan buying an Xbox because they are "fans of certain franchises" fucks every single other person in this industry, period. And they need to be called out for such abject selfishness and they need to get that push back to tell them that, no, in this case it's not merely enough to hide behind being a fanboy of Halo as reason you're giving everyone else in the community the middle finger.

That doesn't mean they deserve to be insulted or told they don't belong here, but I absolutely do think it means that aggressive push back of fans AND the company are required, because they are both actively contributing to the destruction of the industry here.

Obviously you guys will ultimately decide what is the line and what is too far, and I suspect you'll settle on a fair tone, but there's no doubt that fanboys of Xbox One DO deserve some real harsh push back. I don't see any other opinion being right on this matter.

:lol Gaming side

I can't wait to get an Xbox One. I can take the salt.

edit: also I need to remember to not go over there.

I have no interest in one considering I've had no interest in my 360 in years, but I don't really give enough of a fuck to make a ruckus about it or read gaming past the OP. I'll probably spend most of the next 5 years on the PC, some handhelds and PS4 for whatever games I can't get on the first two (not much) and Netflix/Bluray/AIV.

I'd rather get neither, but If I'm going to get one I'd be leaning toward a PS4. The anti-consumer stuff with Microsoft is starting to piss me off. Nothing against anyone buying one though.

Have fun playing fantasy football :P

I don't really watch NFL and we won't get that stuff in Canada anyways. I have a PS3 and I have nothing against the PS4. I like my Halo, Forza and whatever good 3rd party games come out so that's why I primarily lean towards the One.
 
I really don't get the point of the new consoles at all. Is it just for people who want prettier graphics ? Because I really don't give a shit what resolution/AA I am gaming on.

It's the same controller, it's not like the gaming experience will be a lot different than past generation or anything.

Video game sales are plummeting due to the long gen and gaming banality. The industry needs new consoles fast for profit.

YOU ARE THE REASON GAMING SUCKS SCHUEY

People need more linear shooters.

I.. don't get that attitude. Playing more games on PC the last year or so has opened my eyes - this console generation lasted 2 years too long and I can't wait.

The gaming experience WILL be different. It's just different playing an open world game on a decent modern PC vs a PS3 ignoring controls etc, it really is. Prettier graphics are actually really cool and shouldn't be dismissed so easily. ;)

Amir0x is a lying, obnoxious, mother-beating, furry dick-drawing, GAF money-funneling, pretentious.... guy that I'm not particularly fond of. He's as bad as it gets.

I'm actually at the point where I see absolutely no need to own a console ever again. It's a pretty nice place to be.

Far too often better gameplay is sacrificed to make way for those better graphics.

Ha I was just playing. I have a 360 but I don't really have any ties to Microsoft's first party titles so it makes it a little easier to skip the One in the future. Hopefully somebody can make a great PS4 controller with the Xbox controller layout if I ever end up getting one.
