Poor Hamhuis.
Good win last night even if it's anti-tank.

While I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you're going through, I have to say welcome to the engaged life. It's pretty darn fun.
You guys have any idea on the timeline to the wedding yet? Year or two away or more than that?
My fiancee and I are going to be engaged for about a year and a half before the wedding. Roughly 8 months left until the date.

So I really don't want to go back to fishing for illegal streams since half the time the quality sucks or I have to switch streams like 5 times a game. Is there a service like NHL GCL?
I have heard about Hockey Streams but are they any good/reliable?

A good chunk of NHL-GAF uses HockeyStreams.

I used to until they ran into all the billing issues and have not re-upped since.
Not sure if I will or not if/when they get it sorted out.

I'm still waiting for Hockeystreams to come back up to renew it, been using Kodi/Sportsdevil on my Nexus Player with inconsistent results.
Congrats Foggy on the engagement and condolences to your brother and your pet.

Hudon to make NHL Debut vs Wings tonight
I was just out shopping for groceries and I noticed they had packs of 4 chocolate raspberry danishes on sale for $2.99, on the sign it says it's $1 off. I thought that sounded pretty good.
Then I looked to an adjacent shelf and the same danishes were being sold individually for $0.69 each... at regular price.
Figure that one out.

I'd never actually seen one before, but this looks good to me.
It wouldn't just protect players mouths from sticks and pucks, it would protect their chins from hits to the head that cause concussions like the one Rinaldo laid on Couturier.

I think this has actually backfired. The Coyotes may never win another game. The avatars have transferred the Ducks' early season woes to the desert.
Winning these avatar bets was a huge mistake.

I think this is a pretty reasonable take on Semin and why he isn't a fit in the NHL anymore: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...arling-alexander-semin-flunked-out-of-the-nhl
basically, he's a decent player that nobody likes. even when he was at his best, he wasn't popular, but he was good enough that it didn't matter. now he's merely OK which isn't enough to make up for the character flaws.

I'm looking at it and, I've got to be honest, I don't see another win left on the Coyotes schedule.
NHL coaches not really doing a good job of evaluating Defencemen isn't a new or surprising phenomenon, but this article sums it up pretty well. http://www.tsn.ca/the-nhl-s-great-divide-in-player-evaluation-1.407116
Obviously, forwards are judged largely by point production which is a pretty fair way to evaluate them. You can't really do that with defencemen most of the time.
Leaguewide, the best Corsi% forwards get the most ice time
Leaguewide, the best Corsi% defencemen... are all over the place
There's also a fun comparison between Winnipeg's and NYR's allocation of defenceman ice time compared to performance:
Pretty good!
Pretty lol.

A cage is fantastic for sticks/pucks, but doesn't do much to protect against big hits. You can get your bell rung in a full cage just as easily as no cage, the slight padding there doesn't do enough to distribute force and reduce impact to make a difference.

Someone from Pens GAF wanna give some context to the Kessel Crosby poke? What happened there?
@crazed go easy on him. He's led a rough life...

Meanwhile the Rangers have the 4th best record in the league, the 4th best goal diff, and the best GA/G in the league. Attribute everything to goaltending? Assume the Rangers would be even better if they adhered more to corsi wisdom?NHL coaches not really doing a good job of evaluating Defencemen isn't a new or surprising phenomenon, but this article sums it up pretty well. http://www.tsn.ca/the-nhl-s-great-divide-in-player-evaluation-1.407116

Why would that cheer me up? Our top 6 forward is injured till the end of season. /coachCockmeron
goaltending certainly covers up a lot of holes yeah. Rangers looking a lot like last year's Habs atm. their other problem is they're largely a one line team. but their top line is stupid good so it wins them a lot of games even though they're getting buried when they're off the ice a lot of the time.
Crosby was playing like shit and Kessel got a bit tired of it if I had to guess.
Certainly had a better 3rd period than the first two.
Wait, what happened to Borowiecki? How did he get injured?
Ok, just to be safe: I'm joking.
We got 2 now. Philoops and Boroshit.

Well I thought I ran out of beer. I was right about that but then I forgot I have pretty much an untouched bottle of bourbon. Shit boys I hope we win tonight.

Yep. So hopefully the Leafs go after him. The trade cost would be astronomical. Prospects and draft picks upon draft picks. Plus Phaneurf
Edit: Incoming rant as to why this club is ran by tards.
I finally just got around to listening that Bran Morray interview and I am perplexed as fuck right now.
I had to quit listening to it right after his explanation as to why they have a 7th dman playing forward as opposed to Shane Prince.
His reasoning for it was because the team should be playing better defensively and Boroshit provides that, and they are trying to lower their shots against. *dead*
This is a so called professional with vast experience into this league as to why his forward prospect ain't playing and his AHL dman is taking his spot instead. A 22 year old forward prospect that has scored in every league he played for so far, a 2nd rounder in 2011 with some pedigree and has actually produced this season in his limited role.
I remember his explanation as to why they didn't sign Condra this past summer was because they wanted to make space for Puempel and Prince and other young players to get some ice time and take his spot. 2 months into the season and Prince has been scratched more than Brian has scratched his dusty old balls the past hour. And Puempel is in a shitty AHL team doing PPG. All this while our entire 3rd line has been non existent and Lazar is looking like Philips on forward. Chiasson has 4 points and is a black hole offensively for his linemates.
Now as to Boroshit, when he is on the ice he let's in the most shots against than any other defender on the team and has the lowest shots and goals for than anyone else. Now put him into a position he never played at and see what happens. Turris and Ryan barely got out of their zone in the 3rd period with that dumbshit on their line. Not only are you fucking with Hoffman putting him with Chiasson its also a disservice to Turris and Ryan while making them ineffective.
Long story short this team is fucked with its shortsided outdated thinking of punishing skill in order for the gritty shitty game. Giving a long rope to shitty players like Cowen, Boroshit, Chiasson, Neil, Philips, Gryba and short leashes to skill players like Wideman, Hoffman, Weircioch, Prince etc.
The team is winning despite its shitty coaching and management because the high end players are performing well.
