Totally.

Now we just need Hamhuis to be told to say he is be a bit too banged up to go and we're in business!

Wait what?

 

[yankeehater]

Man that sucks for him to have to miss the Olympics.

 

[GSG Flash]

It sucks that Stamkos won't be making it, it's a pretty big loss for Canada. That said, I don't think he should have went even if he could get a game or two in before the start of the Olympics. IMO, he should have had at least 5 games under his belt before going into the tournament.

 

[Kave_Man]

I don't know if it was posted or not but aren't they saying now it's even questionable he'll be back for this NHL season.

He's being reevaluated in 2-3 weeks from now.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

They're 1 & 2 in Canadian players for points since 2010-2011. Hopefully it's MSL, although with how Giroux has played, you can't be upset with that pick either.

Not sure he's suited for the big ice but you never know

He'll be back. He's still ahead of schedule for this type of injury.

I agree.

 

[Solo]

Stamkos playing was a dumb risk anyways. Smart to keep him out, and St. Louis will do just as well if not better than him in lieu.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

MSL is the easy choice here.

 

[Solo]

The choice is clearly between St Louis and future HOFer David Desharnais. I don't envy Yzerman's task here, not one bit.

 

[RC]

MSL is the easy choice here.

He was an easy choice before too.

Time to redeem yourself, Yzerman.

 

[Razorskin]

He's going to pick a guy with size

 

[Samyy]

Clearly they will take David Clarkson

Spoiler

And hopefully leave him in Russia

 

[Var]

MSL deserves it.

 

[Smiley90]

I'm sad we won't get to see Crosby and Stamkos on one line.

 

[GSG Flash]

I actually would take Giroux over MSL to be honest. The guy has been tearing it up the last few weeks.

That said, it has to be MSL or Giroux. If they take Neal then there's no hope for the Team Canada brass....

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Cleary to replace Stamkos?

 

[Razorskin]

Today is Cherry's 80th birthday

Spoiler

what an ugly dog that was

 

[snack]

NOOO STAMKOS

 

[Var]

This is MSL's last chance at gold. G will have another shot.

Giroux only has 1 more point then MSL since the original roster announcement, and MSL is a natural winger. Seems pretty obvious to me that it should be MSL going.

Good point. Though Giroux has 23 points in his last 20 vs 20 in 20 for MSL(not a huge difference).

I would be happy with either, I wanted MSL over Kunitz in the first place anyways.

 

[yyzjohn]

Stamkos replacement

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Perfect hat weather

Agreed, I'd rather have both MSL & Giroux there then Kunitz.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

If the replacement is the 13th forward, pick St. Louis. Czechs have some 40-year-olds anyway.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

On HFBoards and Dallas Stars forums, Dustin Brown's name has been popping up a lot. I don't see Kings trading him didn't they just sign him for big money last year?

Haven't heard many GMs say they're "a top 6 fucking cunt short of a Stanley Cup".

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Big game tonight. Hope Anaheim can compete against the true best elite team in the NHL

Are we having an inter-squad scrimmage or something?

Lol

Kessel just waiting for that next hit

 

[CrankyJay]

John Scott wrecked Engelland. Props to him to standing in there though.

 

[Var]

Scott lucky that isn't Kessel out there with him.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Kessel just waiting for that next hit

:lol never seem that before.

 

[Red_Man]

Just posting in here in case some guys in the fantasy league don't see it, but I'm looking to move Krecji / Spezza for an offensive D-man, preferably sooner then later.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Jumping up and down in my seat and just begging you to please please please just let us have this moment of league leading. We love our webbed feet boys. They just wanna play and laugh and have fun and be nice to each other.

We had our time being a terrible team and we haven't been this good since 2007.

When we start developing entitlement issues, then I'll ask you to please backhand me back to reality.

Oh and if I ever EVER mention Cup - that's an instant backhand right there.

 

[kassatsu]

No way Ryan Miller plays this Olympics after getting smoked by Crosby and Malkin on the same night.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

No way Ryan Miller plays this Olympics are getting smoked by Crosby and Malkin on the same night.

Yes but how does he even know what to do when look like?

Hey man do as you will. Cautionary tale is all. I've said some shit in here while hyped and it always comes back to bite me.

Kessel must be the most unintentionally hilarious player in the league.

 

[Revenant]

Stamkos replacement

Nice To see what Pharell does with the hats he rejects.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

The guy interviewing me for this job this morning came into the table (that was adorned in chocolate), puts his feet up on the table and after a few pleasantries asks "What do you think about swearing?"...

"It's fucking awesome"

"Good answer"

Bad news: He's from LA and he's a Kings fan. If I get this job my manager will be a Kings fan.

Good news: He knows hockey. And creative industries are hella fun to work at. Casual clothes every day, Nerf gun wars, big manchildren and womenchidren everywhere with smiles on their faces and serious faces during crunch time.

I hope to hell I get this gig.

The current project they're working on is fucking cool. I nearly cried. Going from contributing to the planets destruction at my current shitty job to helping people make CGI in movies? Heck yes.

You gotta enjoy the moments when they're there. Otherwise they go away and you're all of a sudden reminiscing about them.

At this point my expectations aren't anything more than First Round Appearance. This IS playoffs and this is Bruce Boudreau we're talking here.

 

[Samyy]

Maybe by working there you can expose him to the awesomeness that is the Anaheim Ducks?

 

[Stasis]

Sounds awesome man, good luck!

I had an interview start similarly a long time ago. Best Summer gig I ever had.

edit: Putting my condo up for sale tomorrow. Any of you Habs fans wanna be closer to your team? I'm about 15 minutes away from the city =)

The current project they're working on is a certain Marvel movie. I nearly cried. Going from contributing to the planets destruction at my current shitty job to helping people make CGI in movies? Heck yes.

He knows hockey? In Australia? And you know hockey? You basically already have the job. I hope.
