I did get offered a PTO with the Griffins last summer

Yeah, but you're old.

This is true.

Penalty after penalty, what could go wrong?

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Most of the Toronto fans I know are pretty fair weather, they say they love the team and wear the hats but can't name a player outside of Kessel. It won't take much for a new team to gain a strong fan base.

None of us on this board, I assume. I could name all of them and even the shitheads as well...though Franson made up for his bad game the other night.

@marvie there is demand there and the money would still come in after all fees. Personally, I do think QC and Seattle would be better.

Our PP.

Needs more quicker passing, your D is too 'on it'.

Steve Kouleas scares me.

COCAINE!

 

[Acid08]

Are you fucking kidding me -_-

Bad Luck Sharks two games in a row.

 

[Marvie_3]

Do you guys like the idea of expansion? I feel like two new teams would dilute talent availability, drive up player salaries, and ensure that teams in shitty markets would not move.

32 teams is fine in my book, it'll make for four "conferences" with 8 teams.

The NHL has a huge pool of talent to draw from(junior leagues, NCAA, euro leagues, etc.) so dilution isn't going to be much of a problem.

There won't really be any more portable teams in the near future except Phoenix unless another club has a catastrophic failure. Teams like Florida and Columbus are locked in long term so they'd have to go through bankruptcy to get out of their leases. Even if one of these teams becomes available, there are still some markets open that they could be moved to.



Edit: What a terrible goal. :lol

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

BEAUCH YES!

Nah not you guys, just random people I run into and acquaintances I have.

Steve Kouleas scares me.

He should have a creep off with Mcguire.

 

[Acid08]

WOW FUCK YOU SHARKS

 

[Heretic]

I napped and woke up to us winning!!! Who scored the first for the ducks?

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

YESSSSSS BELESKEY! TOP SHELF WHERE MAMA KEEPS THE COOKIES!

Beauch threw it at the crease and it somehow went in.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

It isn't for the faint of heart. I've done it for indoor soccer, actually was a lot of fun, I prefer hockey but I guess any way I can throw away my instinct to self preservation is all the same. Did quite well too, some guy asked me to join his intramural team :lol



become tall like me, then you can just stack the pads all the damn time and piss off everyone.

My mannnnn.

Though I got lucky and got some flexibility too.

 

[Acid08]

Why do the Ducks always expose us as the soft frauds we are? Clowe is invisible when he isn't acting a fool, taking penalties, and playing the pick off the bench.

 

[DopeyFish]

The problem with 32 teams is playoffs

Too few teams would make it IMO.

woooo! Tomorrow is the face off fest! I'm gonna do my best to get you a Teemu signature!!!

It's not that we're the ones that specifically expose you, it's that the previous teams weren't good enough to do so.

Dude that would be fucking PHENOMENAL if you could. Thank you so much.

16 teams making the playoffs is already teetering on too many.

1-5 against the Ducks last season. To be fair to us though, we were thoroughly terrible all last year.

 

[Revenant]

My mannnnn.

Though I got lucky and got some flexibility too.

I'm kind of a flopper anyway so it's worked out, though since I haven't done it my whole life I don't have the proper form all the time, been working with our other goalies through that though. trying to merge my six and a half foot crazy octopus style with some actual tried and true techniques.

 

[Marvie_3]

Seattle and QC are better equipped to handle a franchise on short notice right now. That's what it comes down to.

Teams in the bottom half of the league shouldn't be making the playoffs.

Just remember this about the fancy kids. They'll come in with a triple deke and try to go glove side.

 

[Acid08]

Two shots this period.

 

[DopeyFish]

...Sarcasm?

No. We'd be down to half the league in the playoffs... That's meh. Not sustainable in a gate driven league with a salary cap and floor

You should really be a fan of another team dude. Not trying to be a dick or nothin

YOU guys were terrible??? Did you not see our record last season???

 

[DopeyFish]

Whatever man, not looking at my teams interests.

NHL had 16 teams in playoffs since they had 21 teams and people are saying "too much"

 

[Revenant]

yea one of the other goalies gave me some tips when this one kid kept doing it, now I put my glove low closer to the hip, then raise it up to my shoulder as they come in closer, doesn't always work but the occasional kid just absolutely botches it leading to some funny results.

 

[Marvie_3]

No. We'd be down to half the league in the playoffs... That's meh. Not sustainable in a gate driven league with a salary cap and floor

Only 53% of the teams make it now. Not really a huge difference.

This is how I always played it. I never really had to worry about guys roofing it over me despite being pretty short for a goalie. I found it worked better if I used my glove to take away the angle rather than try to guess where they were shooting.

 

[Heretic]

Wtf??? Great... Our PK blows...

 

[Acid08]

YOU guys were terrible??? Did you not see our record last season???

Exactly. Proving how bad we are against the Ducks no matter what.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

OH GOD WE'RE ON PK

NO

NOOOOOOOO

Yeah no wonder we have so many sucky franchises

 

[Clydefrog]

was playing CS:GO... my game suddenly got really laggy... turned it off and turned on Ducks - Sharks. ok, let's do this

 

[Acid08]

Watch, all of a sudden our PP will be terrible and the Ducks will be PK legends.

Some great calls this Sharks game.

Ducks games have been plagued with this. The canucks one was horrid.
