And you can only sign a player twice.

What? No hrtc. No.

 

[Quick]

You've gone too far this time, Heretic! You're playing with fire!

 

[Heretic]

LOL!

It's been E5'd. It is known.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

New Queens of the Stone Age album is pretty sweet.

Indeed it is. New Sabbath is okay too

 

[calder]

I feel like I missed the chance to comment on the latest news from Phoenix a couple of days ago but here goes: that sounds like a whole bunch of bullshit right? The rumour of the 5 year loan with the option to give the team back to the NHL so they can move it in 5 years and avoid the transfer fee is total nonsense right? I simply can't accept that the rumours I heard from Hockey Central are even remotely... oh shit. Hockey Central. n/m

 

[ZeroGravity]

Oh shit. Competition committee has decided to grandfather in visors.

Hybrid icing will also be tested in preseason and 4-minute high sticking penalties can be reviewed by video.

Shallower nets to make more room behind them as well.

 

[MetatronM]

So if NY makes that offer, they have to amnesty Richards. Right?

Richards is getting amnestied no matter what, the only question is whether it's this year or next. His contract is flat out impossible to maintain considering the likelihood is that he was going to retire with two or three years left on the clock, which would have had MASSIVE cap hit penalties (I think I saw something like a $17 million cap hit per year or something like that mentioned if he retires early), which would make it utterly impossible for the team to be competitive for those years.

My guess is that he gets bought out this year not so much because of his performance during the year (though that didn't help) but more because there's no guarantee he'll be healthy enough to be bought out next year.

The only other possible out would be putting him on LTIR at the starts of those final seasons, but I don't know if you can justify it for as long as they may need to.



Digging the competition committee changes.

Really? Lol, still barking up that tree huh NHL.

 

[Socreges]

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Mandatory visors, hybrid icing and 4 minute high sticking reviews are GOOD. I welcome these changes.

Also, tangent... This:

 

[Var]

Nice, lol.

 

[Osorio]

Wtf is hybrid icing?

 

[Curufinwe]

I wonder who the last visor less player in the league will be.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Pronger, after the cyborg implants.

 

[Quick]

Wtf is hybrid icing?

Refs blow the whistle if it looks like a player is going to cleanly touch the puck.

Wiki:

Play is stopped immediately if the player on the opposing team reaches the faceoff dot first, instead of skating all the way across the goal line to touch the puck. This type of icing is intended to reduce the number of collisions along the boards during "touch icing", but still allowing the team that iced the puck to get to it first to wave off the icing.

 

[Osorio]

Thanks.

I like all these changes. I also really hope they disregard the suggestion of a larger ice surface.

Ice soccer is boring as shit.

 

[jaybeeze]

Thanks.

The Sedins would benefit though

Ice soccer is actually pretty awesome.

All European players would.

Holy

At first I thought it was CGI.

 

[vatstep]

New Queens of the Stone Age album is pretty sweet.

It's pretty good. Weird pacing on it, though; starts off rather slow.

 

[Smiley90]

All European players would.

Basically, yeah.

Hybrid Icing is good.

Mandatory Visors is awesome.

Shallower nets is.. Uh... What? I guess more room for Henrik to dangle?

 

[Quick]

New Dallas Stars logo and jerseys.

Seriously needs that gold.

 

[jaybeeze]

More room to avoid further Edler/Smith-like confrontations?

New Dallas Stars logo and jerseys.

Seriously needs that gold.

Agreed. These just look weird. What's with the starbucks logo-like shoulder patch.

 

[Merguson]

New Dallas Stars logo and jerseys.

Seriously needs that gold.

Don't like the logo.

 

[Heretic]

Amazing!!!

 

[vatstep]

God, jerseys are getting so fucking boring. Those stripes are atrocious. Same deal with the new Hurricanes jerseys.

They got rid of the unique aspects (piping and flag patch on shoulders, pattern on hem) AND shrunk the logo for some reason.

 

[Acid08]

New Dallas Stars logo and jerseys.

Seriously needs that gold.

Fucking awful, fits the Stars perfectly.

 

[Heretic]

I like the Dallas logo. Don't like the colors.

 

[Curufinwe]

Those would be much better without the D.

 

[Quick]

Jamie Benn: Awkward Nerd.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Is it just the way the jersey is hanging, or is the logo completely off-center? It doesn't look right.

 

[Osorio]

Reminds me of:

But with a terrible logo. That shit is seriously like a Goldfish cracker painted silver with a star behind it.

 

[DopeyFish]

Lol it is way better than their current jerseys

And the logo is certainly good and will have lasting power

Glad they are finally moving away from Minnesota image

Amazing how fucking wrong you are.

At least they aren't black.

 

[lamaroo]

They tried to take North Dakota's jerseys and still messed up, god that logo is terrible.

Francois Allaire new goalie coach in Colorado, speculation is Montreal hires Eli Wilson, who has worked with Price for a while now.

I actually like these. Except for that logo. Shit's terrible.

If I was a stars fan, I'd be drinking your tears

 

[Acid08]

Okay troll, what exactly is good about that logo?

 

[Osorio]

The only thing I like about the change is that they're using Green as a primary color.

There are no other teams with green as a primary other than Minnesota (haha)

 

[Freyjadour]

Jamie Benn: Awkward Nerd.

He wants the D.

 

[DopeyFish]

Okay troll, what exactly is good about that logo?

Its a fucking D in a star, man

Like

A D

In

A

Star!!

 

[Smiley90]

Its a fucking D

A D

Sounds like you're repressing something here.

 

[Freyjadour]

Also, tangent... This:

This shit looks awful familiar and not in a good way.

 

[Marvie_3]

Amazing how fucking wrong you are.

Fucking racist.

 

[calder]

I want to congratulate the Stars for not having a red&blue or black sweater. I must however rescind the congrats in light of that mediocre logo. Sorry Dallas, but please ensure the Stars have a home game against the Jets next time I'm there thx.

Carolina is just pretty boring, but honestly the designer who was given "the personification of a hurricane as a sports team crest... go!" job back in '97 burst into tears or hanged himself so what can you really do. I still maintain there's like 6 good team name/logo/uniform combinations in all NA pro sports and the vast majority of the rest fall in the bland-to-bad spectrum.

 

[Heretic]

is it racist that i laugh every time someone replies with "racist"

 

[RC]

Dallas' new jersey's are kinda shitty. Did they really need to stick a big old D in front of the star?

I'll take bland over those abominations that were introduced in the 90s anyday.

It's racist against people that don't reply with "racist"
