Please happen. The Flyers-GAF meltdown would be hilarious.
And tragic.
But mostly hilarious.

GM's have been reading too much HFBoards.

I'd rather lose none of the season.

This. Panthers have a lot of momentum for next year. Top tier prospects ready for the NHL. Last year exorcized a lot of demons from the orginization, now they need the next season.

I think all the GM's have gone mad with how much a player is worth.
Or a lot of these reports aren't even true.
As would I, but that ain't happening. And I hate the idea of awarding the Cup to a team after only ~40 regular season games.
I think the opposite actually. These kind of deals were pretty standard back in the day. Trade some NHL ready prospects and picks for a top player.
I mean just look back at the NJ - ATL trade for Kovalchuk and that was essentially a rental.

Heat
?
Same deal there. Feels like a cheapened title for me when it wasn't won on the same criteria as previous seasons were.
So the Wild are going to win the cup next season.

We need an expert in worthless championships that go to horrible fanbases.

No, I understood you meant Miami. The ? was because I didn't (and don't) get what your point was.

The NBA had a shortened season so their championship doesnt count the same as one won in a full season.

Yes, that was my point.
EDIT: Arab's too, I guess. So we're in agreement, I guess.

BE is pretty good, but BB kills it. Not even close.

NHL gaf watches breaking the badness?
I'm stuck on season 3 premiere because of bandwith caps
Breaking Bad is awesome. Really fun and mostly brainless. And it's got Cranston. Boardwalk is a more layered and rewarding show (more consistent, too). The best on TV right now along with Mad Men. But I can understand why people would prefer BB.
Boardwalk was awesome till
till they killed Jimmy, The only interesting character in the show, everyone else is boring as fuck, now the story will be centered around Nucky, fuck that might as well be a turtle, could be as equally interesting, could be less ugly too. I ain't even gonna bother with season 3 now. Its like if Breaking Bad killed off Jesse after season 2.
So it was awesome until the absolute last episode that we've seen so far?
The story has always been centered around Nucky. He won't get any more screen time than he already has. Rothstein, Luciano, Capone... these are the guys that will get more investment with Jimmy gone. They're also going to introduce a couple major characters, IIRC.

Really? I agree that BE is more layered, but BB is better in every other way imo, and the most rewarding show on TV. I lost interest half way through this past season of Mad Men, but I definitely enjoy BE after seeing how season 2 ended.
Prohibition era. Capone, Rothstein and Luciano are principle characters, but not (yet?) the focus of the show. The first season isn't too eventful, but the writing and acting are still outstanding. Season two is when the show hits its stride.

Every morning I wake up and look at the iGoogle TSN widget and DON'T see anything about Bobby Ryan is a good day.

Tomorrow's a new day.
Also a week day.
Oh shit we still haven't signed O'Reilly to a deal.
Fuck.

Green isn't going anywhere. I just read something the other day where he said he wanted to re-sign with the capitals.
Hmm another forward added to the trade market.

Ludicrous if true. I wouldn't trade Couturier for Ryan straight up.

Ryan has scored over 30 goals 3 straight seasons. I think Couturier is going to be really good but I would trade him for Ryan straight up without a question.

That's because you don't get the point of two way players and measure players solely on stats. Couturier is a two way monster. Also cap.
I'd argue these points again but you seem to refuse to acknowledge them.
Couturier is still only 19 and is already a two-way stud as bwg pointed out. We could be looking at a perennial Selke finalist. Ryan is 25 and may have already peaked; lots of hockey players peak in their early 20s.
Also cap.
