The NHL draft lottery is basically their calling card. It's all they ever look forward to.

Someone hacked into NHL GAF's emails! D:
Edit: had to log in on my desktop since I couldn't read the emails on mobile.
Nearly burst out laughing at the office when I read that Winnipeg rant and saw what "k" was referring to. Good job, Quick!

I wonder what the reaction on GAF would be if this ended up being the top 3 in the lottery?
I swear this was the first thing that came up.
I've been here... really since December.

What's wrong with being an Oilers and Kings fan? Name one single thing wrong with loving either or both of those teams. Just one thing.
I meant posting in NHLGAF, lol. I've been slowly getting back into watching the past couple of years.

I would be annoyed with Edmonton getting another top three pick, but otherwise I'm fine with it. New Jersey takes Matthews and would be very, very solid for him and them. They need an offensive juggernaut and I wouldn't mind them ascending in the East in the next few years.
Carolina already has a long history of Finns and Scandanavians as a whole, so adding in Laine would be good.

Ray Emery is once again a Flyer.
We playoffs now.
We playoffs now.
Guy couldn't win a game in the AHL with a stacked Marlies team earlier this year.. that's hilarious! lol..
Me and Syrinx would be pretty happy.

Eh.. He can't play in the playoffs so I think he will be there to come in if we clinch to give Mason a rest since Neuvirth won't be back until the playoffs, if we make it.

Quick you bastard, you were not under subpoena to produce those private emails and as a result releasing them may actually open you up to legal recourse as the senders did not agree to posting them in public. It was NOT cool, no matter how much that fake racist scumbag Smelly might fake deserve it!
Didn't realize it was Marvie's birthday, happy bday dude!

I wish Dastardly had apologized to me before these became public. As it is, I'm not sure I can forgive him.
Needs some new krayons.
The weird thing about this is he didn't really even dive in this situation. Like I'm not saying he doesn't embellish, but this particular instance makes no sense.
He delivered a clean hit and then got slashed twice in retaliation by two different players and then he got hauled to the ground.
$5000 fine
Video? Gif?
April fools!

Looks like Michalek might not play tomorrow, time for Lou to spin the ol wheel of Marlies to see who gets to come up.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Miracle on Manchester.
NOOORRRRRIIISSSSSOOONNNNN!!!!
Gary Fatwless with the TRUTH BOMBS!!!
The fact that Karlsson may become only the 4th player this year to score 80 pts seals it for me. Like I can't even imagine how you could say someone's defence could outweigh that level of offensive dominance.
I wish all those media hacks saying Doughty would post a sustained analysis about why his season is better than Karlsson's.
It is a legitimate question as to whether Doughty is even better than Karlsson defensively. The only thing Doughty is demonstrably better than Karlsson at is blocking shots. "Playing in your own end" is not the same thing as "defence", despite what the guy on the TV says.
holy shit Forsberg :lol https://twitter.com/HareBrahs/status/716005815623290880
that's the team he played for as a junior in case that wasn't obvious

Guess what, another Forsberg played juniors in the other team.
Here are some pics of Peter Forsberg leaving the arena when the other team tied it in the last minute.

I cant remember a seeing an upset even close to this since Sweden went out of the olympics against belarus.
Ill post some Numbers later.
There's video of his reaction out there as well.

The team that just went up to the first division was last in the second division after 24 games (of like 50 total). After a couple of other qualification rounds they mest the a bottom team in the first league(Modo), playing for a spot in the first league. In a best of 7 series.
In case you heard about Modo, they have "raised" Peter Forsberg, sedins, Näslund, Hedman and many others.
The series:
Modo - Leksand 5-0 (shots 31-26)
Leksand - Modo 0-4 (shots 32-24)
Modo - Leksans 1-2 (shots 33-22)
Leksand - Modo 2-1 (13-30)
Modo - Leksand 7-1 (30-28)
Leksand - Modo 5-4 (27-33)
Modo - Leksand 3-4 OT (50-18)
This is insane, just blowouts one way and one goal games the other way.

Unbelievable.
Maxim Lapierre and Donald Brashear were/are on MODO. Didn't realize.
MODO will have to fight their way back next season. Should be interesting.

Svartvadet and Forslund have run the organization ti the ground with washed up players like them.
