So did Montreal in 2011, the following year they finished 28th...
I don't want to shit on you guys though, next year should be fun. Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Boston, and Detroit fighting for 3 guaranteed playoff spots.
I wonder where he will go in the draft.

Well our office here in Ottawa is certainly rubbing it in to the Leafs fans here.
Sorry Leafs-GAF :-( (You did it to us too)
That is going to be a brutal division to play in.

Last year Cats took the EC to 7 and look now. This team won't be as injured next season but it is hard to deny the Leafs overachieved this year.
If we draft MacK and resign Weiss or maybe get a stop-gap in Bozak or another this team Healthy will be up there too. Should be fun.
Playing Vanquish and Mark Of The Ninja right now. Both titles are really good.
Vanquish a is crazy over-the-top Japanese action-packed shooter and Mark Of The Ninja is a neat stealth and puzzle game on XBLA/Steam. I put both of them on hold because do the craziness of round one but I'm back to enjoying my 360.

Luka is shaping up to be very good goalie. Hard working, very smart and totally dedicated to the sport. He was shining from the beginning, debuted in our professional league when he was 16. He moved to Salzburg and played for their U20 team and for the first team in EBEL league as 2nd goalie.
This season he was #1 goalie for Salzburg in competition with Brueckler and Auld (both underperformed). He has long term contract with Red Bull Salzburg, but he will probably soon move to DEL (Red Bull bought majority stake in Munchen) or another strong European league. And if he will stay on this route (without injuries) maybe even in KHL or NHL.

Yup. Annually there will be 1-2 playoff calibre teams that don't make it.
Switzerland beat Belarus 4-1 too, now 7-0 and won their group.
Fuck yeah. Our best start ever.
We're now (most likely) playing the Czechs, which we beat 5-2 already. I feel like we can do this.
If we manage to do that we'll most likely play the winner of RUS-USA in the Semis, which will be hard. RUS > USA probably, but we'll definitely have to keep playing the way we have so far if we want to have a chance. I'd be happy with top4 to begin with, though. Not to get too greedy after a historic start like this.
Or how the official IIHF Power Ratings put it:
1.
SWITZERLAND
Just call us the Soviet Union, baby

Although both USA and Russia has way better material than you guys especially US has some pretty big motivation problems during every WC. Just today after they lost to Slovakia there was article in Finnish press that they had been drinking last night... Also Russia has won so much during last couple of years that they have gotten pretty damn arrogant not to mention that it seems that the coach has lost his authority over the players. For example Kovalchuk and Radulov played something like 30 minutes against us Finns despite the fact that Russian team is full of good players. During the third period they barely had the stamina to skate. Finland - Switzerland would be great final
Definitely sounds like the type of player we need, but with the entire NHL is in a good center drought I don't think many centers will fall, they are a valuable commodity.

Max Domi or bust.
Jeez he'd increase your average height by a good couple inches
It would be a dream, hes def going top 10 especially since hes been tearing up in the playoffs.
No, we're not.
I'd guess 95% of them haven't seen him play and that's the only reason they want him. Some said he's not very physical for a big guy, maybe in the Tyler Myers mould.
Here's Pronman's list from last year btw.

Well, I dunno. I sort of wouldn't mind it if Ottawa took out the Penguins for us.
After that they can curl up and die, though. THIS Canadian already has a team.

For the second straight year we've won the most playoff games out of all Canadian teams.
You might have to get used to this from now on

Slimeball ass Yormark can sell ice to Eskimos. Looks like county will open funds for the scoreboard. Finally a new one, thank fuck.

Passes 6-2. Cats are getting a new 4.2 milli scoreboard from the county. Now the NHL will hold a draft in 3 years and a "higher" consideration for All-Star weekend.
Habs signed prospect and defence man Magnus Nygren to a 2 year contract. He won the award for best D-man in the SEL this year, but I don't really know what they plan on doing with him with the log jam we already have at D. Maybe Bergevin will use him as trade bait at the draft.
Sounds like a good problem to have :lol

Ours was $5 million and paid for right out of our owner's pocket

You say that like I should care about other Canadian teams.For the second straight year we've won the most playoff games out of all Canadian teams.

That said, given the other remaining teams, I'd be happy seeing Alfredsson win a cup.
It's only a logjam at the AHL level. Most of them still have a lot to prove before they become NHL D-men.

I wish, and the organ too.
Mockup:
Your guys' owner is stupid rich. I wish Huizenga's filthy rich pockets still backed the team. Not to knock Viner, but Huizenga is fucking loaded.Ours was $5 million and paid for right out of our owner's pocket
For sure, it'll be curious how Bergevin handles it along with our Center depth, especially because we need some wingers. Hopefully he uses his charming good looks to fleece some fools at the draft.
