Not sure if it was posted but toysrus has buy two es sports games for $70 if any of you were on the fence. I'm waiting one more year to repurchase my sports games but still a really good deal.

Thank you, thank you. Notice I called Keith's elbow dirty and didn't try and make a dumb ass excuse as to why it might have been acceptable, because it wasn't. If Torres lit up one of the Sedins last night instead of Silfverberg, he wouldn't have wrote that garbage of a paragraph.

I just couldn't for the life of me understand how you drew a comparison between Torres' hit and Daniel Sedin's, but all is fair in love and Tabris. Carry on.
The bad luck on those risky hits is hitting the head instead of the shoulder. He's not intending to hit the head, he's going for the shoulder.
Tell me what you would do in his situation. Your choice is:
1) Go for a risky hit hoping to hit the shoulder.
2) Be benched or sent down because your main advantage is playing risky and your coaches want you to play risky.
Who's at fault here? The coaches through his career that tells him to go for those hits, or how about a game and league that supports these kinds of players except when things go wrong? If he hit the shoulder instead of the hit, it would be "playoff hockey".
This is a similar situation to a drug dealer who's dealing to make enough money to support his family. There's nothing right about it, but showing understanding is key to being able to address the core issues instead of just arresting him.

I will draw pictures with crayons next time
We're watching a game where Scott Stevens is in the Hall of Fame and is one of the most celebrated players in the 90s.
That kind of play is still encouraged as players are developed and coached in junior and professional leagues.
And when the hits go right instead of wrong, those hits are still celebrated.
Address the core issue and discourage that at the beginning. Maybe start penalizing coaches and organizations, instead of just the player.

I've long said that you need to hand out penalties to coaches that actually hurt.
Or you can give Coach of the Year awards to filthy-ass coaches.

So the Leafs sent down Nylander and the Wings are looking like they are going to keep Larkin up. /shyamalan twist/Babcock factor
What has this world come too.
What has this world come too.
Kenins and Gaunce sent down for the Canucks
which means that both Virtanen and McCann, both 19, are still with the team
TWO ROOKIES IN ONE YEAR? I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS FEELS LIKE\
3 cuts left, among: Horvat, Hutton, Virtanen, Biega, Cracknell, McCann. Virtanen and McCann would have to go to Juniors, the rest is waiver-free. Horvat has to stay (c'mooon), so I'd say Biega, Cracknell and... Hutton?

They finally found our weakness! Our heads.
there is no babcock factor involved
we are a garbage fire team who will not be competitive for a few years if ever
nylander hasn't played center in north america
this organization isn't rushing prospects in pointlessly, that was true before babcock got here, shanaplan brah
and even if it was babcock, your narrative doesn't work when it's the right decision that sensible people want

I'm so sorry man, no human should have to endure that trauma.
So he can watch Cleary play until Datsyuk and Helm come back from injuries?
That's so nice of the organization.

You talk too much sense, Babcock is controlling your mind, trust us, we Wings fans have seen this before. It's what he wants you to believe but in reality this is all apart of his masterful plan where he talks Lou into trading Nylander for a good solid veteran forward player who is a good locker room guy
Cleary
Are you okay Pikma? What can we do to help?

Joined the fantasy league.
Leafs fans, I drafted Nylander in a prospect/keeper draft thing today in another league. I got him and Mantha. Was Nylander a better choice than Marner? I was down to those two at the time.

Colorado traded Freddie Hamilton to Flames for 7th round pick.
Nylander could be on the leafs after the trade deadline, though it won't shock me if he isn't on the team until a year from now. Shanny/Dubas has made it clear that players aren't making the team until they can hold and keep a spot permanently, they aren't going to be bounced back and forth constantly between the AHL/CHL and the NHL.
Marner wasn't bad in the rookie tournament or pre-season, but he was pretty quiet while showing some flashes when he had the puck. Nylander has a year of development + more size than Marner and it shows.

For reference, not sure if you meant to, but the current draft time is 1145 Eastern, 1045 central.
