Hoffman is a LFHVNS. Low frequency high volume non-sniper.

Tell that to your poor sonI'm always the fall guy. I didn't do anything wrong
Good guy Calamari had to step up or else he would've end up getting eaten by wolves or some tragic thing like that
How long are you stuck with that avatar?

Listening to this now. For who this guy is he actually sounds surprisingly cool. I was expecting a smug douchebag.
Until the next console generation when Ubisoft releases a remaster for my remastered avatar
I actually met Steve Dangle a few years ago. He's a pretty nice guy. He was with Leafs TV at the time, and he did rill gud with interviews and stuff. His YouTube content? Ehh.
We didn't talk hockey much, admittedly.
That's cruel. Your captor should have a heart and let you change it when the next AssCreed games comes out.

I was actually talking about the Panthers owner guy. I love Steve.
Sorry to quote an old post, but...
🤔🤔🤔 huh? Really you're hating on Botch? He consistently has the most realistic, logical and informed takes on the Canucks. I don't even know who I'd put up against him. Drancer if he was kicking around still, and a few of the current CA guys maybe?
I'm my own captor
Oh. Well don't be so hard on yourself. Plus, that avatar is hard on the eyes.
I like it
Get so see Laine play Detroit tonight. Haven't really been this excited to see an opposing goal scorer since the Pavel Bure years. Don't really remember him as a Canuck, but as a Panther he would always cheat on defense and stand around the red line (two line pass rule) and wait for a breakaway. Then it was a goalie/shooter showdown.

Not sure why I said seems. He does. He has. He told me so.

Soon you'll call it politicized mathematics.

Raimo watches lots of hockey and studies lots of it too. His favourite teams are the Penguins, Jets, and he has been recently bandwagoning the Hurricanes. His favourite NHLers are Olli Maatta and Andrej Nestrasil. March Madness>NHL playoffs.
Until you can properly elucidate how these stats in their order of priority correlates to demonstrably excellent hockey, even with a small sample size, then we'll call it Dopey Maths.

Post adjusted Salt-si % is very high right now.
Nah, I don't joke. But I do laugh at how hysterical you get when you're shown how awful your team is.
Always one goalie injury away from a 30th overall finish.
Does anyone else feel like shootouts have become even more of a waste of time since 3v3 was introduced?
We're treated to a tense 5 mins of fast-paced hockey--full of exciting end-to-end rushes and offensive creativity--followed by a slow, boring, anticlimactic shootout...
EDIT:
Wtf, is this a real rule?
"If you pull your goalie for an extra attacker in overtime, and the other team scores into your empty net, you'll forfeit the one point you gained by forcing overtime."

I wouldn't talk too fast, Bjugstad's Corsi is almost as good as Jagrs, so technically he's just as good
oh no, i'm so ashamed of having a great homegrown goalie!!! Wah! It hurts so much coming from a team who tanked for 40 years to get a #1 pick, WAH!
There's something wrong with you.

Yes. I never had a problem with the shootout until recently. I'd rather see the tie reintroduced.
got any skewed stats to prove that?
I mean the Price insults are jarring considering we didn't tank for him, and we didn't steal him from anyone
We've had the nicest, mildest autumn/early winter in living memory but it all ended last night. Tons of snow overnight, took me an extra 10 minutes to walk to work and I'm soaked from the blowing snow. Gusts of 50k/h on a north wind when I walk north in the morning? Greeaaaat.
im not sure whether you're aware of how ironic this statement is, but it gave me a good laugh so thanks :lol
well... you did get him by lottery.
I'd like to see 10 (or more) mins of 3v3. The game ends in a tie if nobody scores. Ties are treated the same as OTL points-wise. W(2) -- L(0) -- T/OTL(1)
Too much more OT would be tough for the players. I'd love for a 10 minute OT but that may be too much.
Personally, I'd get rid of the shootout (which I've always been against), get rid of the OTL point and if the game ends in a tie it's a tie. If you lose in OT you get nothing - yeah I'm sure it would encourage teams holding on for the point but that happens every night late in regulation already. At least 3 on 3, which frankly I'm still meh on, would in theory reward teams that pressed for a goal more.
