At this rate, Scott Howson will be the new Oilers GM in five years, give or take.

Good career move, lol.

Odd timing to fire Tambellini now in this season, not like a new GM can make big trades to make the team any better, but good riddance regardless. A monkey could've GM'd that team to where they are now :( Tank for a few seasons, get great picks, and do little else to build the team.

Now is probably a good time to do it to get MacTavish started on working on the draft and free agency. At least, that's how I see it. You're not wrong with it being odd timing either.

Reimer looks like the starter tonight.

Sorry for the late response, been busy at work.

And as Jonsson said, Lupul is a gametime decision...personally I hope he sits until saturday.

I would've taken Scrivens tonight and Reimer against Washington tmrw

Jesus Christ. I wish I won some strange lottery and I got to be EA's CEO. Things I would do:

*Sports games come out only once every three years. Next gen Madden in 2013. Next gen NBA in 2014. Next gen NHL in 2015. Etc.. You will be run out of the company by your Board of Governors and shareholders just for suggesting this.

*Get rid of the bloat in sports games. Remove HUT completely from the NHL games. I'd say remove the Be-A-Pro / EASHL mode too but too many people like that. They make a shit ton of money off selling HUT packs and boosts and shit.

*Free roster updates until the next game comes out. Pay a small amount of money to continue getting roster updates if you decide to keep your old game. HAHAHAH yeah right.

*Servers for older sports games will NEVER go down. Requires money
*No microtransactions. No grinding. The grinding required to earn attribute bonuses in EASHL is designed to encourage micro purchases. Why spend hours scoring 100 goals in a season OFFLINE to upgrade your ONLINE player when you can drop 2 dollars on the EASHL upgrade? Ugh. Good luck with that.

Yep looks like I will be skipping this.

Hopefully GTA5 fills that void in September.

Can I be a good player and drive Cleary to the airport? Or the Wild have a Heatley driving simulator.

KESSSSSSEEEELLLLLL named second star of the week:

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=665850&navid=DL|NHL|home

SECOND STAR – PHIL KESSEL, RW, TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Kessel led the NHL with five goals and tied for the League lead with seven points in three games. He scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist in a 4-3 triumph over the New York Rangers April 8. Kessel then recorded both of Toronto's goals in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers April 10. He capped the week by posting his 13th multi-point game of the season (1-1—2) in a 5-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens April 13. The 25-year-old Madison, Wis., native has played in 41 games this season and leads the Maple Leafs with 27 assists and 42 points.

Yeah, no major improvements this year, the deking sounds nice but that is about it, wait until next year when they make another major jump with "Real Time Crowd Fight Interactions and New Diving Physics!!!"

they're 8 points out with 7 games left

Not sure what you're implying here? I just mean they should be much better than they are, and Tambellini's tenure could've been completed by anyone like I said. He's had top draft picks, and a big prospect Defenceman just chooses to go there. Big trade acquisitions hasn't exactly been the Oilers specialty lately.

Well yeah, my point is they could've waited until the end of the season in either case, the GM isn't going to come in at this point in the season and clean house like they could've done before the deadline.

Ah well!

Marc Staal may be skating later today. Derek Dorsett skated before the team's practice this morning.

Sounds like Biron is going to have at least one start in the next week or so. My guess would be against the Panthers.

Not bitter, just unsweetened
Leafs in top5 of both NHL and TSN power rankings with 2 weeks to go

Feels good

(Ahead of Boston in both, wat)


The blurb for toronto though: Since the start of the 2010-2011 season, RW Phil Kessel has tallied 124 points in 123 games, fifth-most in hockey behind Steven Stamkos, Evgeni Malkin, Claude Giroux and Martin St. Louis.

One thing I learned this morning:

Bozak and Kessel live together


Fuck we have to re-sign bozak lol
Click to expand...

Not a surprise.

Bozak loves playing here.

Carlyle loves playing him.

Kessel needs his friend.

Dave Nonis comments basically say he's staying unless someone goes horribly wrong.

I think he may be referring to shedding 1 or 2 young star forwards to fill out the team

Eberle, Hall, RNH, Yakupov, MPS

i still think choosing yakupov was a dumb idea
Click to expand...

Nah it wasnt, he was and still is the best player out of that draft.

I thought they should have went with Seguin over Hall then Landeskog over RNH, their top 6 will look like.

Landeskog- Seguin- Eberle
Yakupov- Gagner- Hemskey or MPS.

Haha they just had Tambellini on the news, talking about his kid (not Jeff), and asking him if he'd draft him.

I wonder if the Jackets' recent success led Howson to being hired.

FIFA's physics engine is nice. Fight Night would be nice if it were a bigger part of the game.

BAP sounds great.

Hope the deking actually is better. Bring back the fucking dangler build if you're going to do this then. Get rid of the tough guy ffs.

meh/10

I'll say it now.

Tonight's Devils/Leafs game feels like a trap game to me. I hope I'm wrong.
Click to expand...

We're desperate on offense and that makes our defense liable to stupid mistakes.

Chances are slim we'll walk away with 2 points unless we get a great early start.
