I don't even like Bozak but I really hope he finishes the year with more points than Kessel cause it would make me laugh. They're tied right now.
PAP got jokes. I like this guy.
Protect ya
Oh man. First time I saw this, I had to pause it a couple of times just to get my laughs out and to cringe at the awkwardness.

Just stay in the bubble you guys. Don't go anywhere. Don't look at the spoiler thread and don't look at Twitter, Facebook. I'm 100% lock down on movie spoilers right now until I see it Saturday.
Thank God Cineplex added 2D start times for Star Wars.

Torts ruining all the teams!
More like a really really awesome December.
The only internet surfing I am doing over the next couple of days is pretty much just my gaf subs and even that will be limited. Going near full media blackout until I see it Saturday.
Dang it, I'm seeing the 2D times now. Much prefer that, but really wish there were some listings with reserved seating. Maybe I'll see it tomorrow at 11:45am!
I'm dreading January. We're still late into fall, winter is still coming.
Save us, Kuro.
I'm honestly shocked I haven't been horribly spoiled yet. Just have to survive for 6 more hours...
Needless to say tonight's game is going on the DVR.

The Ducks play tonight? I thought we were banished from the league.
In any case. Someone's going to score a hat trick on us in Buffalo.

Maybe I'll be one of those winters with 1-2 weeks of snow and that'll be it. We did have that a few years back.

I think we will make it farther than last season. We will see at the Trade Deadline.
Have you actually watched any games or basing this all on boxscores? This is the best Habs team since 93 by a mile

Terrible...
I want to stick by Burrows, especially against guys like Tootoo, who doesn't seem like a saint himself, but, man, there's a lot of smoke surrounding him and some of his on-ice comments.... Trash talk is a part of sports, but you have to respect your fellow athletes as people.
Come on home, RyJo. This reminds me of the way the Canucks treated Kassian last year (obviously Johansen is a better and higher profile player) in that they're obviously exploring the trade market, but scratching him and playing him in the bottom six is only going to bring down his value, damaging any potential return. Weird decision from Jarmo and Tortorella.
Jarmo is suppose to be one of the best GMs in the league in terms of identifying good prospects, it's a bit of a red flag if he has no issue with this.
Most GMs will publicly support their coaches (especially a new hire), regardless of their personal or professional opinion. Can't undermine the players' confidence in coach. We saw Rutherford question Johnston in Pittsburgh just days before firing him.
I get that, but there's been multiple reports that Jarmo is down to trade Johansen, which would make be a bit apprehensive in trading for him since Jarmo is suppose to be such a good evaluator.
That might also be Jarmo evaluating the trade market and recognizing that it's healthy enough to get an appropriate return for a player of Johansen's stature. Trades don't have to hurt your team in the long run if you can accurately evaluate the returning talent. There's a difference between being eager to trade a player, and open to trading a player. If he was eager, they'd be giving Johansen every opportunity to drive up his value, similar to what the Canucks did with Hodgson just before he was dealt.

Yeah...but it's Torts behind the bench....
Joking aside since I'm eternally grateful to the BJs for taking Clarkson, hiring Torts is a colossal mistake. Not sure why they didn't get Boucher or someone else not so bloody abrasive.
Torts is a John Davidson "guy" so he was likely top of the list the whole time. And I believe Boucher couldn't be hired by anyone over here due to contractual obligations because of how late in the year it is. Or something to that effect.
I mean he did snag Marko Dano which ultimately netted Saad so I'm not ready to question that part of him. The current prospect pool was really built by him and it's one of the best in the league. BUT, something tells me the writing is on the wall with management and dealing with his agent. If you're gonna fork over $8+ million to a superstar forward, you gotta know that you're gonna get what you pay for. Right now, nothing's motivating him. He's easily the laziest player on the team.
Boucher's contract with SC Bern didn't have an out-clause, so he was locked in. Point is moot since he's been fired.

always welcome to alcoholic gaf! I have been drinking since 11 am!
True, but very rarely does a team get an equal return when trading away guys like Johansen, probably why there's been a lot of smoke about him for a while now, but still hasn't been moved.
That's what I'm implying, if Jarmo does want to trade him, I'd be more weary as an opposing GM to take him, especially since the price will be ridiculous.
I've watched a smart GM cover for Torts' behaviour. He was fired at the end of the season.
Such a shocking thing to say by Alex Burrows.
Shanaplans, come on down!
pls don't trade everything

Oh I didn't see Cockblox posted about it
Gotcha. They could trade and the new team could rent him until the end of next season but the return would never justify it. No trade makes sense unless Nashville could stomach letting go of Seth Jones and maybe a center prospect of some sort. But I wouldn't make that if I was NSH or CBJ.
Since the team he has put together is a dumpster fire, being a good talent evaluator will help in his future career as a scout for another team.
