Edmonton will win the lottery and suck again.

Potentially but I think it's a pretty sure bet that the Isles keep this years pick.

holy shit apparently there's a janky ass way to play hockeystreams on the xbox one
Well if they win the lottery then yeah, but 2015 is a deeper draft, no? I doubt the Isles expect to suddenly improve next year with the hole they've dug themselves.

If Linden wanted to preserve his reputation he wouldn't have taken any hockey management job.
Also this. It's good PR but he will be more of a background player.

I think that's a good point, probably wouldn't hurt him as much as I thought.
What are the big differences between hockeystreams and gamecenter? This is what I've come up with so far:
Hockeystreams:
Less lag
Cheaper
More leagues to watch
No blackouts
Gamecenter:
Much higher picture quality
Better support for non-computer devices
Can be logged in at the same time on the same account with someone else
Am I missing anything else? I like the cheaper price of hockeystreams but I want high quality streams. How bad/good are hockeystreams picture quality?

Not sure where you got the idea that GC has a better picture. HS is on par with image quality and runs at a higher framerate. It is also as close to a live feed as you can get for live games, but it has a DVR mode for rewinding if you want that instead.

Bishop is out for the rest of the regular season and will be reassessed before the start of the playoffs. So there's at least hope.
Oh really? I looked at some sites that said hockeystreams quality was on par with free streams and gamecenter was closer to hd. If that's not the case then hockeystreams seems like the clear cut way to go

Yeah those sites were bullshitting, HS looks great. I used GC in the past and it looks about the same but smoother.

dreams might be crushed. At least I went to the playoff clinching win
The condensed games are usually 11-12 minutes long. They show all the goals, replays of the goals, and other highlights. No commercials on them.

Highlights are free, you can check them out on NHL.com. Usually 4-5 minutes.
Condensed games run around 30 minutes I think or maybe it's 15.
They both seem to be exactly the same as what the NHL offers on game center.
They're a playoff bubble team so I'm guessing 60% effort rather than the usual 0% effort against non-playoff teams.

John Gibson should try to go on a shutout streak. If not that a win streak.
I think it's his last game too. Andersen should be ready soon

Also, I didn't know this until just now but apparently HS can be streamed to a PS4 via the web browser using a free Plex membership. So that's fucking awesome.
I don't know about GC but HS has an amazing system for watching games on demand.

Carlyle has refused to meet with the media at all today.
Did he attend the post-game presser last night?

No need to talk to the media when you are no longer coach.
Apparently it's still undecided
Ah, damn. Well if Hiller plays I have a feeling it's going to be sink or swim time. If he flounders I think Andersen will start the yoffs

New system, no checking.
More like... No appropriate accountability. As long as you're winning games, who cares what happens on the ice?
Shit that doesn't sound very different than what we already have
I think we need to put in some good effort these next three games and we'll be OK. If we make it in I'm feeling confident about our chances to grind out a round against Pittsburgh, and if that happens + the return on Zetterberg in the second round we could have a pretty good group on our hands. Either way, it's all about getting these young guys some play off experience.

Looks like Letang, Crosby, and Kunitz are all back today... Lovely
Just play to get that point and we can breathe easy until the playoffs please!! Though we looked terrible yesterday so I doubt we'll look much different.

McKenzie indicating that an offer has been made. Shananbuanhan will be in the 'top position for hockey ops'.
Shannahbbnan? I guess it's better to have a guy like that as your brand ambassador people like Burke or Nonis.

I hope Tabris doesn't own this store. We'll be cursed.
I currently have both Hockeystreams and GCL. Whoever told you about the quality of Hockeystreams being bad is full of shit, all the streams are HD and 60 FPS. GCL is also fantastic quality, but has a 2-3 min delay, and the full replays aren't instantly available. Hockeystreams lets you watch any game on demand instantly, and also includes every hockey event, including draft coverage, world juniors, free agency, etc. No blackouts for Hockeystreams but you can use ways to get around it in GCL too. The only reason I'm using GCL over hockeystreams currently is because I can't stream hockeystreams to my tv, and I'd rather watch the games on a 55" screen then my shitty 17" laptop screen.

...that picture quality on HS is just as good as the game center trials I've tried.
