Fair. Harts-Couts-Simmer is also a TERRIBLE skating line though.

Ovechkin is joining Russia for the QF game against the US tomorrow. Gibson is starting in net for Team USA.
Too many.
I don't even know who Gibson is.

I think he's a Ducks prospect. Won the World Juniors for the US a couple years back
Ducks goalie dunno if he Weens Weens though.
Higher upside than Letang? That seems awfully optimistic.
But only if he puts on some weight :lol
He's been lights out, a LOT better than Bishop. Comparison:
Bishop - 5GP - .876% - 2.83 GAA
(22nd out of 23 goalies with >40% of their team's starts)
Gibson - 2GP - .984% - 0.5 GAA
NOT surprising Gibson gets the start, really. Even if you say it's due to different competition, Bishop wasn't even average, he was arguably one of the worst goalies of the entire tournament.

Yup.
If you become a Lightning goaltender, you're cursed until you leave the organization.
Unless you're Khabibulin.

The curse started when we had to let him go

FUTUTE CAPTAIN
LIKE SCHENN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
Needs more weight.Needs the Kessel diet.

He's a UFA this summer. You could rebuild the Bulin Wall.

So the Lightning may be targeting Nichushkin at #3 over Drouin.

Lolwut. Hopefully Bergevin is licking his chops. The more I think about the Habs situation the more I'm thinking Pleks will be gone sooner then later, and possibly this off season. What teams need a #2 C or potential #1?So the Lightning may be targeting Nichushkin at #3 over Drouin.
I was just joking to get the ween ween in since I haven't been able to use it so far.

Yzerman and his staff have a huge fetish for Russians it seems.
I just don't care about the outdoor games. I don't think I've ever watched a full Heritage/Winter Classic.
US
Czech Rep (salty about our game 1 loss vs the Swiss? Trolling Smelly? Who knows!)
Finland
Canada
Ugh, still really unhappy to get the hosts in the quarters. Shit luck no matter how awful Sweden has been so far.

Montreal?
I just want one in Minnesota so I can finally go to one. :lol
No Tobias? Son, I am disappoint.
I really hope Reilly can be our version of Subban/Karlsson
The rest of the Northbeast (RIP) has Norris level defencemen (ignoring Buffalo) in Chara/Subban/Karlsson, shits not fair!
Oh and remember when Stajan was supposed to be the future captain :lol we've come a long way.
Oh and holy crap Jays are beasting right now!

I hope Rielly ends up as good a prospect as Gardiner.
If he's anything like Subban ...
If he's anything like Subban ...
Hes got the ceiling I just hope he can put it together, def needs more time in the minors though from the sounds of it, if he has a huge camp though (like super huge) I wouldn't be opposed to giving him 9 games.
He'd have to develop a pretty good physical game out of no where, but I see him being more like Gardiner, which having two of is pretty terrifying.
:lol perfect.

Edit: Wrong thread. Meant to post with the winners, not losers.
Nice. That's the GIF I wanted the other day.
iM sure someone will pick up Ference too. 5.75 mil for Seguin next year will kill them. Hes not worth that yet.
*waves* Seeya soon.
Your posting style seems more fitting for the off season thread, and I mean that as a compliment.
I wore my Leafs ballcap in downtown Toronto earlier today. The sting of defeat is washing away.
I know I said it already, but I legitimately teared up after that loss. I'm more emotional than most people I know, but I was still surprised at myself for being so emotionally invested and in such a delicate state after the collapse in game 7. Heck "teared up" is really a euphemism - I cried, hahah.
I'm happy about the future of this Leaf squad though. Very optimistic.

You crack me up, little buddy.
