DD has become an invisible floater since getting the big contract. He's useless defensively and despite getting tons more icetime and PP time, only has 1 more point than Eller and 2 more than AGally.

Ugh. Should have shipped DD off to Dallas with Cole.

I'm not really sure what the love affair is with DD. It's either the coaching staff trying really hard to get his line going because they were so good last year or it's because he caters to the ignorant french fanbase. His comments give me a sliver of hope they'll be split if they keep playing like they are, but I doubt it.

Part of it is definitely the fact that they were so good last season. I think Desharnais practices really hard as well or something. I remember Therrien complaining about Eller's practice habits early in the season. Basically DD is the teacher's pet.
 
My only worry with a Toronto/Ottawa series is if Ottawa loses AGAIN there might be a mass suicide in the nation's capital. :(

Yeah that's not too far off the mark. If we lost to TO in the playoffs again I'd have a lot of holes in my drywall I'd need to fix and my plasma TV might not survive :-/
 
Friends, both Ottawa and Toronto are quite capable of still missing the 'yoffs this year. No need to ruminate on mass suicides/domestic violence just yet.

The last time we lost to the Pens my bus stop's shelter got all its glass smashed in.
If we lose to the Leafs shit is gonna get torched.

Ok, I definitely can't after hours voice chat and then go straight to sleep. I had a dream that Apocalidiot was delivering Desi's baby's baby. Like, the first baby just appeared out of nowhere but then the baby was going to give birth.

Go home, CCF23, you're insane.

I woke up after the dream but it was still super early. I always forget my dreams so I fumbled around for my phone and typed "apoca delivered desi's baby's baby" into it so I'd remember.

:lol
Well we were discussing the beauty of birth last night.

He has to be moved to wing. Even if they ship out Pleks, DD can't be a 3rd C behind Eller and Gally he's too small and shitty defensively. This off season should be interesting.

Keep Pleks, ship out DD. Problem solved.

2013-2014:

1C - Pleks or Eller
2C - Pleks or Eller or AGally
3C - AGally or Dumont
4C - Dumont or White

He said it. It was only because I told him I was disappointed he didn't say it, but it was still glorious.

I forgot the Canucks play the Flames tonight. Excellent.

6:30 at the Saddle Dome

Box stretch hockey tonight

RIP Higgins lower body

We could definitely make Montreal shit bricks over a 6-7 game series if we were healthy. Hard to say who would win. Pittsburgh maybe not but we took them to 6 games with Brian Smelliott in net a few years ago.

I wouldn't want to face Boston (we can't seem to beat them no matter who is in the lineup).

Probably want to avoid Toronto and Montreal just because a lot of their fans should show up at SBP.

I think a MTL-OTT series could go either way even sans Spezza and Karlsson. I wouldn't like our chances against the Pens even if they're missing Crosby, but I wouldn't rule us out either.

Don't like our chances without either of them in the line up.

PP sucks, we can't move out of our zone well, Gryba playing too many minutes without EK.
Can't win key faceoffs, Turris is over his head as #1C without Spezza.

I'll continue to say it:

Depending on the first round matchups and if things stay as they are...

I think the East champion will be out of the NorthBEAST!

So bryz was benched for falling asleep during a meeting this week. Can't wait for the buyout.

That rumor was debunked by multiple players.

Grossman will be out the rest of the season with the concussion he somehow sustained in practice back in March.

Sam Carchidi said:
Grossmann was checked out by concussion specialist in Pgh. today and has "vestibular issues." Homer says.

That's the obvious one, but the signing of DD to a 4 year contract makes it pretty clear that won't happen.

Lolwut. Habs have way too much depth for Sens to pull out of a 7 game series without Karlsson and Spezza. The only teams in the East that can match the Habs depth wise are the Bruins and Pens, and without Bergeron the Bruins are a different team.

Can't believe people believed it would be online only, so glad I don't give a fuck about that stuff anymore.

Seconded. I was most likely going to get it anyways. Still, so much MS hate on the Gaming side.

Was going to get it anyways too. Gaming side has been extremely horrible lately. So much hate. Finally some good news. It was starting to get to me, tbh.

I don't care about a lot of things in life but hearing people complain and complain and complain was starting to grind my gears. Best practice is close the tab and head on over the NHL thread.

Careless Whisper played softly in the background.

Solo, I need to vent.

Im designing a vessel for a large company in Western Canada that has literally given me 13 pieces of information to go on and about 25% of the dimensions I need.


Engineer problems.
