If Tim Thomas wants to come back, why doesnt he sign with the Islanders? They have a good young team and they really need a goalie.

It looked like a great fit.

Boston is still the best bet. We are completely fucked at the goaltender position.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I love how you edited that out and then back in. BE REAL ZEDGE. KEEP IT REAL.

Actually, I edited the other part in and deleted that, Put it on the end, but failed so put it back.

We have Subban, but he isn't ready yet. Should be playing in Providence this upcoming season.

Sanjuro is joking.

He loves and believes in Rask.

Oh fuck off. If there was an NHL team in some small town maybe. :rolleyes He would be a better fit in Quebec they way they are going.

To be fair, I said "some of" and "Alberta".

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Not sure of what's on Twitter, or not, on Tim Thomas but FLA is one team that has made UFA G offer of PTO. Waiting to hear today/tomorrow.

Fuck me.

 

[apocalidiot]

looooool

I know. I'm just cranky. Looong night. Sorry.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Fuck me.

Gonna corrupt Huberdeau and Barkov.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Fuck me.

There's still time to move out of Florida and root for a real team. I hear the yotes are looking to hire new fans.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I wish I could actually laugh at the Panthers for this, but you know...Bishop and Lindback.

Their benefits package is terrible. 401k options are nice though.

S'cool. I'm not a fan of sweeping generalizations about an area, either, but that's partly what I was trying to get at. Canada's not exactly the left-wing party land that many people perceive at a high level.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@LavoieRenaud: With Clemmensen out for 3 weeks, Panthers offered a PTO to Jose Théodore today. Théodore rejected the offer. He's waiting for a contract.

Danmit Theo.

LOL, I love that you are still doing this.

Watching gaming side trying to have a high level of discussion about specs is pretty entertaining.

I'll probably stop when he stops choking.

I saw a video on twitter today of the rookie game between Florida and Tampa, and the stuff Drouin was pulling off with whoever #53 was made me want to cry. Not many prospects in all of hockey I've wanted to be a Hab more then Drouin.

It's right beside the ban bait side.

Fuck Dan Cleary. Someone shove that $2.75m up his asshole and put him LTIR. Jesus Homer.

I really hope for the sake of my fantasy team they play him.

 

[Red_Man]

I really hope for the sake of my fantasy team they play him.

I don't see how he doesn't make the team.

 

[Samyy]

I don't see how he doesn't make the team.

I can't wait to see him play with Stamkos and St.Luois but at the same time that line is probably going to wreck the Toronto D -_-

 

[Smiley90]

And that makes them different from every team's first line how exactly?

Except maybe the Flames'.

 

[Spl1nter]

Colborne has gained over 10 pounds in the off-season. Much needed weight finally added. He has showed some good flashes, expect a good turnout from him at camp.

So if you were Yzerman, you'd still take Drouin over Jones?

Dude wtf I thought we agreed to never mention Drouin by name again because the pain was overpowering. Haven't been that in love with a prospect in ages. ;( Until the Jets started winning in late February I was totally ok with being a lottery team and was test marketing a "Season of Ruin for Drouin" tanking slogan.

I probably would have taken him number 1 overall, which may end up being too high but damn I'm not so sure.

 

[Zod the Bear]

I would've been happy with a Bryz-Leighton tandem behind a Walker-Lilja pairing and however many Clearies it would've taken to watch a Giroux-Drouin tandem hit the ice.

 

[Samyy]

Colborne has gained over 10 pounds in the off-season. Much needed weight finally added. He has showed some good flashes, expect a good turnout from him at camp.

I think he makes the team regardless, probably start out at 4th line C and McClement moves up to play with Bolland-Kulemin. He is no longer waiver exempt so he better be good or hes stuck with the Marlies.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

How's NHL 14?

 

[Quick]

If NHL 14 is any indication, the Wild are turning their green jerseys to home, the new white as away, and the red to alternate.

Not sure if I like that change.

I've wondered if Drouin should've been #1 but man its way too early to call. He reminds me so much of Forsberg though.

Less then 5 days until preseason hockey

Fuck preseason. I will never get that thirsty again that I'll ever resort to watching it.

21 days til regular season.

What did the preseason ever do to you ?!?!
I like watching it for the rookies, see how they match up against NHL players.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

48hrs till camp starts . Hopefully with no fucking Thomas. The bright side Tallon looks like he will push out Clemmensen one way or another.

 

[jello44]

Fuck Dan Cleary. Someone shove that $2.75m up his asshole and put him LTIR. Jesus Homer.

Tell us how you really feel. <3

But seriously, he had such a good offseason...


then he drops this turd.

IT FUCKED MY WIFE

 

[Smiley90]

I'm working on a GM Connected OT now, everyone rejoice! I'll post it again here when I'm done with it (aka once Marvie is on and helps me make it look pretty).

I'll see if I can find everyone who was in the last league until then and send out PM's. Any memory refresher is welcome.

From the old thread we still have:

Delryk
MacAttack
Rubber Ducky
BigJonsson
Cake Boss
theRizzle
Swance
SpectreFire
Revenant
Smiley90
CCF23

And I know that at least some others left: Red_man, mibupe and Crazed I remember.

Fighting in NHL 14 is actually pretty cool now. You can watch fights on instant replay, too.

I played a Leafs/Habs game, and I had Orr and Parros fight, and Prust got a penalty for fighting, too. I replayed and noticed he didn't have his gloves on. Fighting rules are always so odd, but I'm assuming the moment Prust dropped his gloves, the refs in-game gave him a fighting major, too.

Don't they just hand out a delay of game or unsportsmanlike (or something) if the player drops his gloves, but no actual fight happened?

Hockey Champions League?
Wonder if it'll happen, would be pretty sweet.

Though it would probably have to take place at the end of August or Early September.
Due to the Stanley Cup Champs being fatigued from the grind.

Maybe he did have a fight? NHL 14 now allows for multiple fights/brawls to be happening at the same time.

This has existed for a while now. Sadly, it didn't work out well last time, despite being an awesome idea.

 

[Red_Man]

So if you were Yzerman, you'd still take Drouin over Jones?

Yea, Drouins hockey sense is too ridiculous to pass up.

We can wallow in our sadness together. I've said for a while I think he should have went 1st overall, still remains to be seen but I'd put good money on him being the best of this draft.

Maybe he did have a fight? NHL 14 now allows for multiple fights/brawls to be happening at the same time.

Maybe. I'll keep an eye out next time.

You know you want to watch McCarron lay out some team's scrub player who will never make the roster.

Spoiler

and then get beaten up buy some no talent veteran plug with 5 NHL games experience because he wants to prove himself
