Yzerman should be fired out of a cannon if he passes on Jones if he slips to #3.

Nashville has like 8-9 NHL D-men, I don't see them passing on Barkov.
This. Also people who compare system wars to hockey discussion have to realize that hockey is a competitive sport built on beating other teams, video games are created purely for entertainment, there's no need to pick a side and tear apart other people / consoles for 10 hours a day.
Lol no. I still think this is just a whole lot of posturing from Sakic, might as well throw the lines out there to try and get some bites.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Yup, the Grand Rapids Griffins or Baby Wings as I like to call them, first Calder Cup (and possibly first time in the Calder Cup Finals) in franchise history. Team was stacked with a lot of our high potential rookies, so it is great to see them flourish and win it. This is my Stanley Cup celebration, so let me have it!
Plus our future prospects are looking great and can't wait to see most of them on the big club when they turn the ripe old age of 30.
Ugh. Can't wait for the PR disaster next year when they try keeping Tatar in GR again. He's going to be furious.
According to HFBoards.. if true.. Tatar can't be in the AHL unless he passes through waivers.. and I doubt teams are going to pass on him.
EDIT: Baby Leafs defeated by eventual winners... Leafs up next?
Seeing this on twitter too. Give up your first to Anaheim, Avs!!!
Paul Stastny, Matt Duchene, Ryan O'Reilly and now Nathan MacKinnon?
Paul Stastny has to be on the trade market. Maybe O'Reilly but they can't trade him for a year.. I think the offer sheet was in in February or March.

Him and Nyquist will be full time next year for sure. Can't wait!!

Hope you like it. If anyone thinks it sounds interesting they should read that RPS review, it does a great job describing the games many charms. Well worth the somewhat premium indie game price of $15, although I think I got it on a slight Steam sale.
Brooks is talking about Arniel as a possible assistant for Vigneault because AV is good friends with him. To which I say, fucking no. Brassard hates the guy, and Nash had some of his least productive years under him. Stay the fuck away.
In other news, Lundqvist extension talks are going to get started during the draft. Malkin's new contract is expected to be the baseline they're starting from.

They won't all stay there, that would be redundant. I still wouldn't be shocked at all if they take Jones at #1 on draft day.
$9.5 million seems like too much for a goalie. I thought he would take something like 8 years, $60 million.
It'll be interesting to see. The problem is that SOMEBODY would almost certainly give Lundqvist the keys to the castle and give him that Malkin-esque deal. He knows it, the Rangers know it, everybody knows it. So the question is really how much does he value staying in New York (and I would say that he probably loves playing in NYC more than anybody else on the team) and how good does he think his chances of winning a Stanley Cup here are?
The money aspect I think is just a matter of course and really of less importance to Henrik himself than most of the other intangibles. I think he would take less money if he thought the team was moving in the right direction. But I also think, if that's the case, that he won't sign during this offseason.

Every time I enter a thread about China on GAF, I am somehow still surprised by the crippling racism in there.

Stastny will be traded or go FA.

Still won't matter nearly as much as that price point difference. The difference between seeing a 3 and 4 at the front of that number is enourmous.

Good, in that it's still possible to change things like this, but if Sony didn't make such a big deal out of it and adopted even somewhat similar policies we'd never have seen it.
If it makes enough of a difference and sales are really suffering I would expect them to remove kinect after examining data from holiday season and a couple months after.
And yea thank god Sony stuck it to them or this may have not happened. In this regard we bow to FamousMortimer for essentially defining the next generation.
I think the gamesharing thing was always going to be behind a paywall and for that system to work now I imagine it would have to be or developers would get pretty angry I would suspect. If its still free then I urge Sony to follow that model as well.
I guess I look forward to picking up an xbox to play the exclusives in 2-3 years then.

I just hope the family sharing thing will still be a feature, even though we still need concrete details, it was the feature I was most interested in.
It might be that the DRM was the bargaining chip they dangled at pubs to allow the sharing feature. Maybe it will be paywalled for now or may just extend to digital downloads like with the PS3?

Nothing has been updated yet, but amazing if true. Unprecedented really.

So wait.... they're fundamentally changing the functionality of the device less than 6 months before launch? This is gonna be a shitshow.
It's been brought up so many times from MS-sources, it's basically confirmed isn't it? You can be a member of one family of up to 10 people among which games can be shared, but two people can't play the same game at the same time? (Unless they buy multiple copies)
This this this...
I hope they let give us the option to opt in or our of their policies. I'm in if so.
Two people could play the game at the same time which is why this was a huge feature. The original owner of the game was never going to be locked out no matter who was playing what.
Yay! Cheers to delaying the inevitable.
May be a bit cynical now but theres a lot of people who live in areas (like me) that stand to see no benefit from these policies and all the negatives.
If something like this takes another 10 years it might all infrastructures in areas to catch up a lot.
This doesn't just apply to MS's policies on DRM and the game sharing feature but also PS+. I can't download a full game because that will us up half my fucking bandwidth. So yay I wont have to worry about this for a while and its a good thing.

Still 100 more for a less powerful console with a mandatory kinect and 20 more per year for online with less perks.
No thank you.
No thank you.
Sony made a big deal out of it because they were responding to gamers and consumers who obviously wanted nothing to do with the system MS was introducing.
Will have to wait and see what changes are actually being made. But I like how the apologists have dug themselves in so deep that they're now forced to be reticent.
Oh really? See, I'd be happy with sharing even if only ONE person owned the game already/could play at a time. Wow@that feature if true. My guess is the DRM was the concession they made to publishers to allow for sharing? Because publishers can't be happy with so much pro-consumerism by MS... (See what I did there?
)@samvy: "Yay I won't have to worry about benefitting from this feature because my bandwidth is bad"?
@wsox: true. Although, MS now also has free games like PSN+, not sure how much better PSN still is.
That's why MS threw in the optical drive and the ability to download from discs. Because of people with your internet situation.
Samvy in the other thread:
"You're dismissing something bad because it doesn't affect you? Not much respect for you."
Samvy in this thread:
"Yeah I'm I'm dismissing something good because I can't profit from it."

NHL will likely ban the spin-o-rama move in shootouts next year.

It's not often you see someone asking to get fucked in the ass.
It never really made any sense. It would have completely cannibalized sales (which publishers would hate) and the logistics of having ten people owning a game but not being able to play simultaneously sounded extremely problematic (which gamers would inevitably hate).
I don't think Microsoft was ever really serious about family sharing. They introduced it AFTER the huge backlash as a carrot, but I think at that point they were seriously considering dropping DRM and the entire system altogether anyhow. DRM would have impacted hardware sales and family sharing would have impacted software sales. It was unsustainable.
Thank you based Yeezus, that was so dumb.

I loved what we had heard so far about their system. I was way more hyped about the XB1 because of being able to install all games and especially family sharing. I really hope they give us the option to opt in as well.
