No, you'll still pick fifth.
Because we'll win the draft lottery after just barely claiming the spot you've held onto for weeks.

Nope.
Yeah that's what i'm saying. It would've been funny if they did and NHL ignored them.
Otherwise it's just a guy asking on the internet

It's still funny
I haven't been this happy making the playoffs since 2008.
Gonna soak it all in before Columbus steals our spot next year.
Sens are good at drafting though, they'll find a good player regardless.

Still better than them getting someone at the 5th or 6th pick.
No Creeper I want Strome D:
I will settle for Barzal
But I really want Strome D:
I'm just afraid of #6 because its prime Lawson Crouse area D:
shaddap we tanked too damn hard not to get a top 5 pick! D:
it's emotionally taxing man
I don't find joy in watching a team actually try to win every game they play, you know, for a change.

Well I guess the Habs have no shot at President trophy with their performance in last few games. I think they will win out the season, but that will get them 110 points and in order for that to be enough means that all of the following would have to happen...
The Ducks lose at least one more game in regulation
The Rangers lose 3 of the last 4 games in regulation
The Blues lose 2 of the last 3 games in regulation
The Preds lose 1 of the last 2 game sin regulation
So not happening. They have a good shot at the Conference though (Depends on Rangers).

Habs getting knocked out in the first round will bring me immense joy
Worse draft pick than the Sens with the misery of losing in the playoffs

I know Leafs
. Let's just hope you rebuild right this time that's the main thing. Ehhh we don't need the President's Trophy Really. It would feel like a bigger target on our backs

Reminded me of Downie's hit on McAmmond.
Sens suck drafting in the top 10 anyways. Our leading forward point getter is a former 6th round pick and our leading goal scorer is a 5th round pick. Both rookies.
Their last top 10 picks were Cowen, Brian Lee and Zibenejad (whos the only good pick)
Top 20 picks have had Karlsson, Ceci and Lazar etc
Give me Travis Koneckny and I am good, I am still happy with this drive as it shows that young kids are developing well and contributing early in their careers (Stone, Hoffman, Pageau, Ceci, Weirdcock, Zibby, etc)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the NHL needs to start going after the coaches when this shit happens.
Or you could just give players meaningful suspensions, including playoff games. I guarantee you Shaw doesn't do that if he knows he might miss one or two rounds for it.

That works too. But then you have a situation where a guy like Sutter tells some nobody on the fourth line to start shattering kneecaps instead of Dustin Brown.
NHL Playoffs |OT| What about the Islanders?
Speaking of, everyone cool if I take a shot at the OT? If someone else wants it, that's also fine.

Meaningful fines. Really every area in disciplining this shit needs to be stepped way up.
I don't doubt that there's internal compensations for shit like that anyway.
"Hey, you're going to blast this guy's kneecaps, the NHL's probably going to hit you with a suspension for x amount of games and salary lost. We'll cover you under the table for the salary and you can take a quick vacation."

Just imagine if they did start stepping up the fines.
We may see the stupid hit Jack Johnson makes that sends him into a second bankruptcy.

Exactly, which is why they need to go after the head coach.
This too. Fine caps of $5k for guys who are making multiple millions per year is laughable. How is it suppose to be a deterrent when you're penalizing a guy less than 1% of his income?
lol damn

3 strike rule, if your team gets 3 different acts of discipline in a season the entire roster starts getting hit with large fines.
SHANE, SZABI, RELIX, THAT NEW CAPS GUY
WE GOING TO THE 'YOFFS!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Fuck yeah. Now to hope for a potential favourable matchup.
And yes, that Shaw hit is ludicrous. Echoing the statements on penalties and fines need to be much more severe.
edit: Finished watching the first Fast and Furious movie... ehhhhh. It was alright I guess. Can I just skip to 5?

So a thought exercise. Stoll knocks Vlasic out of the playoffs last year while the Kings are down 3 games to 0. Instead of nothing happening, Stoll and Sutter both sit out the rest of the first round, and Stoll is hit with a massive fine... Say hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Do the Kings go on to win the Cup? Do they pull that bullshit again?

fixed, I think that'd be a better solution

I think the coach should probably get fined as well. And both should have to face the media.
As far as it preventing future incidents I mean I would HOPE that would be enough of a deterrent but who fucking knows.

Well he could just have Dustin Brown do it still, not like he's essential or anything.
Seriously. He's not.
