Move silver arrow to Seattle already

I already lived in Vancouver, I got enough of Seattle.

Old school Tretiak jersey? sign me the fuck up son.

The local shop said they'll have them in a week or so, and will likely price 'em at $189.99 ($214 after taxes). That's $4 cheaper, but I'd have to drive forty minutes twice to get one -- once to put a deposit down and once to pick it up after their lady has sewn it.

I almost feel I should go through Real Sports to get an authentically done one, which isn't done by a random shop. Although this one does great work, what with its seamstress, part of me wonders if RealSports ones would be better.

If this doesn't make sense, it's an OCD thing. As in, "Random person sewing versus company that makes them." Even if she does a great job, part of my screwed up mind wonders if it's as legitimate and good as possible.

You've probably exhausted every mass retail avenue. Look into local independent stores. Though, they probably sell at a bit of a markup.

I'd suggest Icejerseys. I like the fact that nameplates and numbers are stitched on instead of glued and/or use screen-printed "patches" - basically cookie cutter letter and number patches glued on jerseys with a screen-printed stitching and fabric appearance.

This reminds me that I actually have a Fetisov Soviet jersey. Not an actually official one, some knockoff my grandparents bought for me in St. Petersburg many years ago, but still.

There's something about the old CCCP jerseys that make their design timeless.

My favorite is the 1987 Canada Cup ones, as they have the old school Adidas three strip design philosophy, and it works well.

Craig Button's Simulator of the Vegas team

For the HabsGAF I would expose Andrighetto or De La Rose, maybe Fucale(Let Mcniven come to the AHL next season) For Expansion

 

[calder]

I'd be a bit bummed to lose Perreault as he's a great guy and a very effective middle six forward (when healthy, which is a problem) but I'd much rather he get taken than Armia or Petan.

i think the NHL completely miscalculated how many quality players would be available due to the 2015 megadraft

 

[dr.rocktopus]

1987 Canada Cup Team Canada is still my favourite jersey design. Clean designs have always looked good to me though.

SMH Creeper have some decency

-snip snip-

For an expansion team that doesn't seem that bad, especially the D.

and if they get Nolan Patrick then that C depth isn't that bad either.

Also if the Leafs lose a forward prospect to them like Rychel or whatever.... no big loss.

As a last resort, the Jets should buy out Enstrom rather than lose Perreault.

 

[imBask]

i'm still hoping for Vegas to grab Plekanec, they'll need a couple of stupid contracts to meet the cap floor and Plekanec would fit the need for a year

 

[Curufinwe]

Plekanec is possible since it's just one year. Guys like Brown make no sense.

 

[Pikma]

Lehtonen is not in that line up, I'm disappointed

 

[imBask]

and to be honest that's a terrible lineup, but having Fleury and a better defense than the Leafs is not a bad start

 

[Curufinwe]

They will be able to supplement the forwards with trades and in free agency, but the quality of forwards available in the actual expansion draft will be very poor.

 

[calder]

I'm *reasonably* confident Chevy will make a trade or two at the deadline to either free up a protection spot or at least trade a couple of the useful younger forwards for an asset that is expansion exempt.

Sadly, our LHD is so thin we need Enstrom no matter what, even at his price tag and cap hit. If anything I wonder if the Jets would ask him to waive his NMC so they could expose him and roll the dice. That's one of the benefits of the Jets giving out NMC's like candy, let's be honest if you ask a guy to potential open himself up to going to Vegas he'll probably say yes.

Vegas legend Ilya Kovalchuk?

Thats why i want them to take Kruger.

I hope we trade Plekanec before the expansion draft. I see Emelin being picked up by Vegas

Sharks have agreed to eight year deal with Brent Burns believe to be worth around $8 M a year on average

Burns got payed and it was well earned

 

[Pikma]

Fuck Brent Burns

There's a content update out for NHL 17 with a bunch of new celebration animations and jerseys, and all I really care about is fixing the captaincy issue in Franchise and Be a Pro.

If there's anything to sum up how EA Sports deals with the NHL series, this is it.

 

[malfcn]

I think I prefer Desert over Silver, Golden has no chance.

(+)
They play in the desert.
They play in the silver state.

(-)
Silver is usually second to gold.

(/)
They will be called the Knights either way.

 

[Yawnier]

He got the Phil Kessel special

 

[megachao24]

Apparently Oduya has been on IR for two days now with a lower-body injury.

Did not know that.

 

[Socreges]

So is Elliott gonna turn his shit around or no? Johnson's done alright so far

Also - Lack on IR with a concussion he sustained in practice

 

[CreeperBlocks]

SNES vs Habs Tonight

Should be a good one

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Leaky Elliott is his true form

Preds will be fucked as far as center depth goes if Jarnkrok goes to Vegas. I have a hard time seeing Fisher and Ribeiro sticking around after this season, which would leave us with Johansen and two 4th line centers in Bass and Sissons.

On the other hand, I'd also hate to lose someone like Arvidsson. Maybe Playoff Colin Wilson™ will show up and Vegas will be dumb enough to take him.

 

[lamaroo]

Pikma, Cake, anyone else who has Titanfall 2 on the Xbone, play in a few?

Alas, Cake Boss may be fending for himself since I'll be attending NXT and Smackdown Live tonight.

You do realize that the patch addresses that issue too, right? :lol

 

[ElephantShell]

Why the mother fuck would Vegas want Kerby Rychel.

Yeah I know.

What I'm saying is, out of all of the added content they threw in, all I care about is the fixed issue.

Who else do the leafs have who might be exposed lol

Lupes if he's still alive.

Fuck that shit. I ain't watching this team till they can prove they can score more than one goal a game.

They might have to play him a few games for him to be eligible to expose.

If the leak is accurate that logo is pretty sweet anyway

So Uhhh the Las Vegas logo might have leaked?

That is an awesome logo. Looks like a secondary logo, but it could work either way.

i dont know... it looked like he got smacked in the face

he was basically dragged onto the bench

edit:

wow he skiied himself to the bench lol

 

[calder]

Ah cool, wonder which of the games I see on my TVs listings are blacked out? Oh yes all of them except the one I have no interest in watching, excellent.

Seems like the blackouts are worse than ever. I'm sure Snet would say this is somehow Strombos fault if they could
