How good is this Future Considerations guy? Never heard of him

Just a notch below Cash Considerations

you've never heard of Fuwtur Konczideratonn?! He's the best player outside of the NHL!

 

[Red_Man]

Det plz

I remember a certain someone saying they would dominate the East, should focus on that before they get went back out West.

 

[Line_HTX]

How much value is Cash Considerations though?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[ElephantShell]

Ugggghh Grabner back with Nylander and Kapanen tonight. Honestly I'd rather Greening on that line at this point.

 

[imBask]

I also thought Detroit would destroy the east

 

[Smiley90]

I couldn't get far in Fable 1 and 2 (I thought the amount of each game I played was great though), but I somehow managed to finish Fable 3.

It was alright.

I liked all the Fable games. They were fun. Not particularly intense, but just... fun.

Oh boy, post deadline trade!

lolllll

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I liked Fable 1& 2.

3 was okay

 

[Chris R]

This.

Going by geography to align conferences at this point is terrible, since Detroit and Columbus really are the most western of the East Conference teams, and easiest to shift back to the Western Conference.

Even with expansion talks, expanding to QC makes no sense if they want to balance the conferences again.

The best possible outcomes are either two expansion teams to the west. Or a relocation of an eastern team to the west (Hurricanes?) and any one of the eastern teams going to the west (Detroit or Columbus).

Or scrap geographic conferences and go with a conference system like the MLB and NFL.

The divisions in the NFL and MLB are still somewhat regional though.

Just add Seattle and Las Vegas and call it good.

Canucks lines for tonight:

D.Sedin-Vey-Etem
Baertschi-Granlund-Virtanen
Gaunce-Horvat-Dorsett
Burrows-McCann-Vrbata

Hamhuis-Weber
Hutton-Sbisa
Bartkowski-Biega

Enjoy the 2 points Kings. Just don't hurt anyone.

 

[Yawnier]

Oh boy, post deadline trade!

It's that dude that used to play with Connor McDavid and Connor Brown in erie

Oh yeah lol, I knew he sounded familiar

 

[CreeperBlocks]

what a season

what a terrible season.

 

[lamaroo]

what a terrible season.

I dunno man, Desharnais isn't in the second picture. Actually it's amazing that he started the season as the third line centre.


Also, to weigh on the AGally at centre debate. I have no problem if he ends up being a terrific winger, it's not even about him being better or worse at a certain position.

The problem is our other centres are Plekanec, Eller, and Desharnais, and there's nothing in the pipeline.

McCarron was a winger when he was drafted and moved to centre, where he excelled, but can he actually translate that to a top 6 NHL centre, who knows. The only other worthwhile one is Hudon, but again, he has always been a winger until recently.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I dunno man, Desharnais isn't in the second picture. Actually it's amazing that he started the season as the third line centre.

And he was a good 3rd line centre earlier in the season but i think Danault might replace him. can DD work as a winger?

DD Danault Byron?

No Hank or Tanev either...

Just shut them down for the rest of the season. Best not to take any chances!

Better to be less reliant on geographic locations, at least.

I don't know how I would break down an AL/NL format for the NHL though.

 

[zroid]

I know it'd never happen but I'd still prefer Conferences to be eliminated altogether

Divisions can stay though

 

[CreeperBlocks]

If Washington wins 12 of their last 17 games they will be the third team in NHL history to have a 60 win season after 95-96 Red Wings and 76-77 Habs. That's some very good company.

 

[zroid]

Holy crap, I haven't really been watching the standings

Didn't realize the Leafs had opened such a wide gap on 29th place. Good. Gooooooooooooood.

Thank god for the new draft format that'll send their asses to 4th pick.

Canadian teams + Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota, Buffalo, and the 3 new york teams in one. All the other icky teams in the other.

 

[Solo]

Guys, watch Creed if you haven't yet - best Rocky film since Rocky. Goddamn.

Is Paulie still around?

Is Paulie still around?

Spoiler

He joined Apollo and Adrian in the afterlife off-screen

 

[MultiJhonny]

A PP already!

 

[nubcake]

Yep, safe to say the Triplets are back.

 

[MultiJhonny]

...and of course...

 

[Marvie_3]

Winnipeg to the KHL/depths of hell.

Isnt that what being in the same division as Toronto is?

 

[nubcake]

HOLY SHIT VASY

I like conferences, because it means more games against certain teams. As good as Chicago, Dallas and St. Louis are right now I'm glad the Avs play them more than other Western teams.

edit: nevermind

 

[Cake Boss]

HOLY SHIT VASY

give us back Bish :'<

You can still do that without conferences if you keep divisions though

the best thing imo would be top 3 teams in each division get in, and you pick the 4 best teams from rest of the league to be the wild cards

I would love this but it will never happen. All the major sports has conferences, other than the MLB but still League=Conference, so I don't see the NHL changing the formula from the big 4. Also the MLS even has conferences.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

FUCK DA BRUINS

LEGGO

pls win

 

[eyeless]

buffalol

 

[Yawnier]

Uncle Leo what are you doing

 

[Kave_Man]

Sosh da Boss!

 

[HadesGigas]

I like how Johnson just sort of turned and watched the shot go in.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Welp, this is going to end badly

 

[eyeless]

fuckkkk

 

[zroid]

oh jesus

 

[Yawnier]

That's a hell of a weird injury.

Hoepfully Sosh is okay.

 

[Quick]

Sosh nooooooooo ((((((((((((((((((((

 

[LevelNth]

He'll be fine but he'll get the Nylander treatment. We probably won't see him again this year.

 

[ElephantShell]

God dammit even our call ups need call ups.

 

[Serpico99]

Hail Bergeron! I want him to impregnate my future wife.

 

[Pikma]

What the fuck

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Kave_Man might actually get called up to the Leafs.


Think about that.
