NHL November 2015 |OT| Dan Cleary demands your respect, not your love

Kings won two Cups with Richards, one of them in the same season that the trade occurred. I get why you might say the Flyers won that trade... but don't forget why these trades are made.

That team in Iowa is dogshit.
Absolutely nobody can score goals. They're only giving up 2/3 goals a game most of the time but can't ever score more than 1 so they always lose. As a result pretty much everyone is a negative +/-.
Not excusing his play, which I haven't seen at all, but giving a bit of background info.

I demand more gimmicks, more! This isn't going to do jack shit to make the game on the ice watchable.

Would've been really interesting to see them do a 3-on-3 divisional format with the fantasy draft.
But I don't discourage attempts at making the game more exciting, really. Clearly the league knows that the actual All-Star game is stale.

The issue (as Bob mentions) is players not giving a shit. Changing it to 3-on-3 isn't going to do anything if players keep putting zero effort into it.

Only if Semin goes the other way
look we can't have Weirdcock, Semen and Condom on the same team
well that's not quite what I was expecting
20 minute games is a bad idea imo. I was hoping for something more like 5-10 minute games and simply more of them.
what I would've done is they play a round robin between the four teams, 6 games of ~8 minutes each. Then the top 2 teams play again for the title.

You need a Weridcock to put on a Condon in order to shoot Semin
Yeah, +/- is pretty worthless, especially for that kind of player on the AHL level. Besides, he's still a very young defenseman. Everyone knows you need to give them more slack than players at other positions. It's just a beat writer playing to his audience, which honestly, the fanbase needs to move the hell on. Those same people would fall over themselves if Jack Roslovic holds out on Winnipeg and decides not to burn a year off his ELC just to play for his hometown team.

Ayy. If this isn't injury related it's amazing how everyone except Tallon saw his deal as terrible. All the great things he's done as GM and then he inks that contract. If it was Bolland @ 3milli I'd be cool, but the highest paid forward who is supposed to be a 3rd line dude is crazy.

We're slowly becoming this year's Columbus with all these injuries.

CB.We will trade you for Wiercoch
Can't really get them to give a shit, considering risk of injury involved and the futility of the game. Nothing is at stake.
Not really sure what incentives will really motivate players. Maybe awarding home ice advantage during the Stanley Cup like the MLB?
Reimer is pro-global warming confirmed.
The man just wants to watch the world burn, literally.

Cool little article about Anthony Zych and his Blue Jackets posters.
They're not for sale yet, but they're already putting out surveys to see how much people would be willing to pay for them.
Edit: Also, really love his jersey redesigns on his website

I don't think the actual game is entertaining anyway. The players don't want to get hurt so they treat it like practice.
The skills competition and fantasy draft are probably the most exciting bits.
Apparently Babcock made some comment about the playoffs, and now Leafland is going nuts :lol
fortunately even if they are anywhere close to a playoff spot in Feb that means their UFAs are probably contributing, which means they will be sold off for scraps and the team will crater hard down the stretch. so I'm not too worried about an unwanted playoff berth.

Does the ASG really need to become a hyper competitive event? Seems fine if it's just a low-key, skills event that caters to the casual fans (usually kids).
as long as they're not hovering around a playoff spot so they abandon the plan and don't try to trade the ufas
if that happens and i don't hear they're at least trying to shop the ufas all hope will be lost for the commitment to the rebuild in my mind, man that would be disappointing
Well the were in a playoff spot when they decided to fire Carlyle, I don't expect them to pull something like that.

I kinda wish we didn't give up PA. But I have a feeling that he's going to stay with the Leafs for a few years
Here's our Lines Against the Yotes
Pacioretty-Plekanec -Gallagher
Eller-Galchenyuk-Mitchell
Flash DD-Weise
Byron-Flynn-DSP
I like Mitchell as a 4th line guy not on the 2nd
Just bring someone up put Semin in the Minors

The problem is that it doesn't cater to anybody.
I know diehard hockey fans that don't watch it. I know tons of parents that don't watch it. I know tons of kids, who live, play, and revolve their lives around hockey that don't watch it.
Granted, all that total numbers maybe 100 people, but when they all love hockey and all love watching the NHL and maybe 5 of them actually watch the All Star Game because it's a snooze. That's a problem the NHL has to fix.

Grenier called up, Shinkaruk sent down. Vrbata injured with something minor (missing pride probably). And Sbisa's back.
Sedin-Sedin-Hansen
Burrows-Horvat-Virtanen
Higgins-McCann-Grenier
Baertschi-Cracknell-Dorsett
Edler-Tanev
Hamhuis-Bartkowski
Hutton-Sbisa

Looks like the ASG will have a $1m prize split among the winning team. The coach will be the coach of the team on top of each division.
Vrbata's "hurt", riiiiiight.
i don't expect them to do it either
but we were trending downward when they fired carlyle despite being in a playoff spot, now we're trending upward with babcock, unexpectedly to everyone not looking like a complete pile of shit
just something i'm paranoid about

I just started to play Animal Crossing again on 3DS.
Still Addictive. I wish there was a Wii U Animal Crossing
That Board Game one on Wii U looks boring
