Thank the lord this season is over. So fucking painful, time to cheer on the Southern Habs, and the Kostitsyn brothers!

Thanks for the great season, Stamkos. Hats off to the Jets fans for being the among best in the league too. That game felt like a playoff atmosphere.

Are there any plans for seat expansion at the MTS Centre? From how the fans have been all season, it doesn't look like they need it now, but I'd assume it would bite them a little in the future for having a small venue.

Ahahaha leafs only played anaheim once, so their win doesn't count in a tie break

Leafs lose the tie break so they pick 5th

If Edmonton chooses a D, leafs are guaranteed a forward

Woot woot

Campoli played great tonight, probably because he knows he had to play his ass off to get offered anything more then a $10 contract. Budaj was great too, let's get this fresh start going and get ready for next year.

If somehow the lottery ends up with the bottom 5 as they already are.....


1. Yakupov to Columbus
2. Murray to Edmonton
3. Grigorenko to Montreal
4. Galchenyuk to New York
5. Forsberg to Toronto

Is my prediction.

Yep, we're fifth. Thank God. Hopefully, Edmonton/New York both choose D-Men and we're set with Galchenyuk. =)
Just curious, why are Leaf fans so sure Burke will draft a forward? I don't know much about the leafs farm or what they need, Habs farm is stacked on D with barely and decent forwards so it would seem pretty obvious we go that route, but Murray and Dumba are both really impressive guys.

I'm expecting the Islanders to pick a D-man (Dumba any good?)...but then again it is the Islanders so who knows.

If that were the case, then bump Galchenyuk to Toronto.

Of course Edmonton is the team that could really screw the whole thing up. If they take Grigs then Montreal takes Galchenyuk.

From what I've read I wouldn't be surprised to see Dumba go in the top 5, but expect him to go around 6th-7th.

Leafs are loaded with D

Blacker has star potential, Holzer is like a gunnarsson clone

With schenn, gardiner, Gunnar, franson, Phaneuf.... We have what we need for a long while yet... Need to shed D

I expect leafs to trade up by dangling franson or something

A few weeks ago I asked if you guys wanted to do a playoff pickem and got positive responses.

Will reset late tonight with proper standings for official picks, but you can mess with it until then.

(this is of course, unless someone already does this).

Grigorenko vs. Galchenyuk for the next 6 years or so...

It will sustain us.
The growth that will divide us. Can't wait.

Regular season highlights?

- Bryz's crazy up and down year
- Jagr's return
- Crosbys return x2
- Florida making the playoffs finally
- Leaf's epic collapse
- Habs historical fucked up season
- Lupul and Cole having career years
- Karlsson exploding this year
- Lucic fucking up Miller and messing up all goal tender interference calls
- Rick Nash fiasco
- Stamkos hitting 60 and Malkin hitting 50
- Winnipegs return
- Detroits home winning record
- Concussions everywhere

That's all I got. Crazy entertaining year regardless of where Habs ended up, can't wait for playoff games and not have mild aneurisms while watching.

Gotchya, makes sense then, it will be excellent for the rivalry even if both our picks don't play next year.

So I looked it up on HFboards about the tiebreaker between Anaheim and Toronto and here's why we are finishing #5:

  • Games played (tied)
  • ROW (tied)
  • Head to head record (doesn't count as they only played once)
  • Goal Differential (Leafs suck more here so thus #5 pick)
 
Panthers fans deserve a banners.jpg I think for this occasion.

Edit: here we go kinda, you can add the new banner via photoshop if you want.

Edit 2: pic way to big one second

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Congrats to the Panthers. Who the fuck saw that coming?

Add the epic Minnesota collapse to that.

Jesus fuck, Phoenix is going to win their division too (likely)

Why did these ass hats have to play their best when they are about to be moved

If either Montreal or Toronto were to land the #1 pick.......meltdowns would occur from coast to coast.

2 guaranteed meltdowns at least when it comes to NHL-GAF in regards to the draft:

1. Habs or Leafs winning the lottery and drafting #1

2. Leafs picking ahead of the Habs.

If #1 happens for the Habs, Fail Yakupov will be the greatest bust since Alexandre Daigle book it.

Kave_Man caved.

I knew you'd see it my way.

I hope the hockey gods move our pick up. We freakin need it...

@Solo, I'd rather ANY team get the first pick instead of Craplumbus.

We can be friends now man. I missed you. :(
