wow
they finally dethroned this: http://www.thehockeynews.com/articl...rdiner-no-longer-of-first-round-pedigree.html
what does that even mean? "first round pedigree" is a completely meaningless term once you're in the NHL. :lol

Apparently it is! I don't want to give the wrong impression here, that was totally accidental bible quoting.

I read somewhere yesterday that DSP for Matteau was a win for the Habs because of the latter's pedigree.

Out of curiosity I just made a rough estimate of what the Leafs cap hit next season would look like, assuming they don't trade, sign, or buy out anyone (except Cowen), and replaced all their UFAs with players on ELCs. (I guessed at the cap hit of their RFAs based on production / current salary / comparables).
Should be around $67M (that includes Horton's $5.3M).
The cap ceiling is $71.4M this year, and it's probably going to be about the same next year assuming the players use the escalator.
That gives them, at most, ~$11M for UFAs aka Stamkos
If they want more cap space next year they're going to have to find a way to trade Greening ($2.65M) or Bozak ($4.2M), or perhaps buy out Laich ($4.5M, with buyout cap hit $1.83M next year)

Suter cross checks Landeskog after the play, that's cool.
Cross-checks are only illegal if you do them outside of like 30 different situations. I stopped being surprised by no-calls on cross-checks.

I wasn't hoping for a PP, we already got our fluke PP goal. Suter is just a douche.

For sure, I'm already super annoyed by how defenseman get away with cross-checking in front of the net net.

Landesgoon deserved it. Minnesota is the classiest of the classy. They're the Dudley of the NHL.

It's funny hearing you guys bitching about the Wild when you employ Iginla, who is such a primadonna bitch that he reffed a fight he was in, after he ducked into a guy's lowered head and called it a headbutt.
Landeskog, meanwhile, is the most immature captain in the league - completely losing his mind several times a game every time he plays against the Wild. I'd complain, but he gievs us so many powerplays it all evens out.
Erik Johnson is a guy who trucked down the ice at full speed in the waning seconds of a game in an attempt to kill a guy a couple of seasons ago, and even after the buzzer sounded and the refs blew their whistles, Johnson swung through and would have hit the guy if not for him dodging out of the way.
But not that it matters because 2-1 baebae

Don't worry though, Johnson is a good Minnesotan kid. And continue to ignore all of the bullshit the Wild dishes out. I expect no different.

You'll get neither.
The goalie is responsible for both 2 on 1 breaks now? Man, CosmicQueso said I knew nothing about hockey but I didn't know it was this bad.

Johnson sucks.
Suter swings his stick a lot, yeah. He cross checks a lot, yeah. Dubnyk gets mad, yeah. He pushes people away from the crease, yeah. Not sure what else you want me to say.

All I expect is that if you're going to rally against players on another team as much as you do against us that either the Wild play squeaky fucking clean or you understand that shit like the bad blood between these teams is give and take.
