The games that are good on mobile are The Room 1 & 2, Hero Academy (dead now tho) and Kingdom Rush.
idk Friedman says it's wrong
Well he did at first... then he said he doesn't think it's accurate
So it sounds like he may be unsure... who knows with Lou involved
wasn't this an aprils fool joke last year?
Why would the Leafs suddenly go after a 30 year old playing in Russia? Doesn't exactly fit with the team.
oh right, I forgot about that lol. And yeah some russian news sites picked up the story without realizing it was a joke. xD

Leafs can you get one of them wins today, please.
Canucks plz
Where can I see the list of 1st rounders each team owns?
Even with Toronto's 1st rounder and Pittsburgh's 1st rounder Edmonton and Vancouver still have a better chance at the #1 spot? Dammit.

Yesterday it was summer, today it's snowing. Spring in southwestern Ontario is schizophrenic.
Pittsburgh's 1st doesn't play into this because it's lottery protected
Vancouver is slotted above Toronto because of their form, I'm pretty sure (aka they lost 8 in a row, and the Leafs have won a bunch recently)
It's snowing? It was raining on the way to work this morning.
Masterton nominees seem to be coming out now. These are the ones I've been able to find so far.
Boston Bruins - Jonas Gustavsson
Buffalo Sabres - Ryan O'Reilly
Carolina Hurricanes - Nathan Gerbe
Chicago Blackhawks - Michal Rozsival
Dallas Stars - Jamie Benn
Detroit Red Wings - Pavel Datsyuk
Montreal Canadiens - Mike Condon
Nashville Predators - Carter Hutton
New York Rangers - Mats Zuccarello
Philadelphia Flyers - Ghost Bear
Pittsburgh Penguins - Pascal Dupuis
Ottawa Senators - Zack Smith
San Jose Sharks - Joe Thornton
St Louis Blues - Brian Elliott
Tampa Bay Lightning - Anton Stralman
Vancouver Canucks - Dan Hamhuis
Washington Capitals - Dmitry Orlov
Winnipeg Jets - Dustin Byfuglien
Probably safe to say you can pencil in Jaromir Jagr as the Panthers nominee.
Also, nominating Pascal Dupuis seems like cheating.
In other Rangers news:
Boston Bruins - Jonas Gustavsson

Most goals since returning, the dozen or so records he's broken this season at the age of 44? I think Jagr is a shoe-in.

I took my kid to White Oaks at 8:45, when I left an hour later it was 7 degrees colder and snowing. Now it's pretty much a blizzard.
I'm guessing it comes down to Dupuis, Jagr, and Zuccarello.
I just looked outside... yeah it's like sleet out there.
I want yesterday's weather back!

full on psychopath :3
Went to Houston for the long weekend, a friend was getting married. No joke about everything being bigger in Texas lol. Housing is surprisingly cheap...a house that could easily fetch a million in Brampton is about 300-400k there. Combined with the weather and the fact they have jobs in the field I studied in...
but then I'd have to be a Stars fan 😶

No doubt. That was like that cock tease of a St. Paddys day we had a few years back.
Lou shutting down former leafs players as well.
We all know the media is probably salivating at the prospect of Radulov signing with the leafs
They need a drama storyline for next season with Kessel and Phaneuf gone and Lupul on Robidas island.
Yep, and the food is in bigger quantities too, lol
The only bad thing about the weather is the unbearable summer.
EWWW, fuck being a Stars fan.
Which blonde is the best player?
Looking at that graph, I'm reminded that it's silly to expect #1. But the guarantee of #4 or higher is the reward. Canucks are doing everything in their power to get there. Pretty inspiring.Canucks plz
If you place last, and two other teams win the first and second pick, what are your odds of getting that third pick?
Looks like 26%.
In this chart, the second and third place teams win the first and second pick:
Next 48 hours are going to be telling as to where the laffs finish in the standings. I'm expecting them to pass the canucks and lolilers at this point in their drive for 12th but whoever else who knows.
TB often gives the laffs a hard time but they beat TB a few weeks ago so ¯\_(ツ_/¯

I don't think 26% is right. Assuming this chart I plucked off the internet is correct:Looks like 26%.
In this chart, the second and third place teams win the first and second pick:
If you have a 47% chance of getting 4th, then that shouldn't change. Thus, your odds of not getting 4th (i.e., 1st, 2nd or 3rd) = 53%. If you didn't get 1st or 2nd, then you should still have a 53% chance of getting 3rd.

Lol. *wink*
It's actually amazing how the NHL is able to mess this up real good.
I don't know, I think the 4th place team might be ok with a 30% chance to move up at the cost of a 57% chance of drafting 5th-7th. I mean we always hear about the "Generational Talents" available for the first pick, but don't hear much about 5-7.
Plus, don't the 5-7s usually end up being better players over an entire career?
Is that how probabilities work, though? You're assuming 47% remains static, but I'm pretty sure that would go UP as the 2nd and 3rd worst teams have been removed from the equation.I don't think 26% is right. Assuming this chart I plucked off the internet is correct:
If you have a 47% chance of getting 4th, then that shouldn't change. Thus, your odds of not getting 4th (i.e., 1st, 2nd or 3rd) = 53%. If you didn't get 1st or 2nd, then you should still have a 53% chance of getting 3rd.
Note: I have nothing to do with math. Once I mastered multiplication tables I decided that's all I'd ever need to know and shut down for the remainder of high school.
