NHL December 2016 |OT| Best Christmas Since '93

Have you played Forza Horizon 3? If not, you should!

I want to, I want to oh so badly.

But the Xbox deal I want from the Microsoft store is a refurbished 500 GB Xbone, and I have to wait for them to restock it. I'm not spending 400 for a console I am probably going only to use for two or three games max.

Doesn't help that I am pretty much waiting until someone returns their own console

I can't blame you there. I only play Halo 5 on my Xbox, everything else is on PC.

Rick Nash and Mika Zibanejad will be traveling with the team on their coming road trip. Nash is currently considered day to day. Buchnevich will be staying behind but skating.

That's a pretty good list of the top-10 Canadians. Can't argue with that.

Wait, that's all nationalities? Hmm...

I actually had to shift-f this to see if Jagr was in there somewhere cause I couldn't believe it.

What a fuck-tard.

Edit: ... I mean ... how?
 
Selänne and Bure are too low tbh. Selänne wasn't just an amazing rookie ffs, he held his own into his 40s and even scored 2 goals in his last Olympic medal game in 2014. and Bure was just fucking nuts.. i still can't forgive him for single-handedly tanking Finland in Nagano, dude scores fucking FIVE goals.

and no Ziggy Palffy? okay.

Exactly. Fuckwits like Simmonds seem to love downplaying the absolute dominant European players of the 80's and 90's, and the impact on the game that they had.

But of course, we'll pump the tires of good ol' Canadian boys because xenophobia.

Shit ... sorry. Thought the honorable mentions were part of the list.
 
Jackets have to be cheating or something and no one has found out right? They look like they are playing against high schoolers out there. So much faster. Out working for every little play.

Too much #Grit and #Heart for other teams, Torts teaching them how to play the white, I mean right way.

Sounds like Raanta Claus is being nice to the Sens tonight.

Rangers have given up 17 goals in the last 7 periods. Not a good look for that goal differential. Or much of anything else for that matter.
