Gut feeling confirmed. I'd say 98% chance this happens.

Hantha yo!

 

[Acid08]

Here's hoping both the Sharks and Snes move on from their veteran stars and rebound well within the next couple seasons.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Can the playoffs be over already so they can blow up this team?

Do you think that's really going to happen?

Whats the status on Bobby Ryan, is he a RFA after this season?

 

[Socreges]

The ugly truth is there is no enthusiast crowd that doesn't have a large portion of fucking idiots poisoning the well. Games got bigger and bigger and as a natural consequence attracted more and more shitty people along with the normal people. Guess which ones are louder, and have axes to grind?

Cultivate a circle of friends to talk games with and leave the large internet community shit behind. You'll be happier.

Heterogeneous video game discussion has always been a shit show. Nowadays gamers are older so you DO get the occasional voice of reason, but you're right that the louder idiots, who are many, ultimately dominate the conversation.

Gaming has always dovetailed nicely, though, with tribalism. Money and time are finite resources so you've got to narrow your interests - that usually means you see the other as inferior and threatening.

 

[Socreges]

On that note I'm unnervingly excited for the 3DS announcement. Gonna be crushed if it's neither Metroid nor MM3D.

UFA

Wouldn't be surprised if an extension was announced soon.

Well the interesting thing about that are the people who have the means to own all or most systems, but still end up trashing one or the other. I get having a finite amount of time and money playing into the mindset, I just wonder why people are content fighting and shitting on things instead of sticking to the things they do enjoy.

Unless of course we're talking about Smelly's taste in games. Cause fuck that guy.

Can't the same thing be said for sports fans?

Especially Smellys

I mean to some degree unless we're talking about the LA Browns of the world.

@6thSens: So Melnyk has sold his junior team and is out of the horse racing business. Two down. One to go.

Well this could get interesting.

Because the games and systems we love are always in competition with the rest. And because my love of 'thing' can only be validated if there are other 'things' that are similar but inferior. Then those feelings get thrown into the giant shit pile that is Gaming Discussion and all feelings are reinforced as they're challenged. My take anyhow.

 

[Quick]

Well this could get interesting.

Snes gonna relocate?!

McGuire said today on the radio, had he been given the Pens GM job he would have considered moving Malkin or Neal, and been super aggressive. Reallllly wish he would have gotten the job.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

@hfialkov: I've been told the Panthers will hire their new coach on Monday. I'll be in Russia! #FlaPanthers

Begun, the Bylsma era has.

That would have been so awesome.

Seriously. A Malkin sweepstakes would have been ridiculous and awesome. Halak + Ryder + 2nd.

 

[cube444]

McGuire would have moved Neal and did whatever else Mario and Sid told him to.

 

[Red_Man]

Murray told me Spezza wants out because he's blamed too often when the club doesn't win. #Sens

Spezza is aware that's what happens when you're captain right? What a baby.

 

[Samyy]

Kessel Kadri and a 1st for Malkin

 

[Coldnoodle]

It's been happening longer than that.

I wonder what Cake Boss would think of a Chris Phillips captaincy.

 

[gaming_noob]

Kessel Kadri and a 1st for Malkin

Neal would have to be packaged with Malkin if any team wants him.

Kessel, Kadri, Rielly, 2014 first, 2015 first. no way!

 

[Samyy]

Truly a captain worthy of the Ottawa Senators franchise legacy

Neal would have to be packaged with Malkin if any team wants him.

Kessel, Kadri, Rielly, 2014 first, 2015 first. no way!

I don't think teams are going to pay a top prospect and a 2015 first for Neal?
Oh god would they?
Ew.

 

[Red_Man]

Well yea, that's what happens when you make $8 M and are supposed to be the #1 center. Grow a set and quit whining. He's not even playing in the worst market for media whippings.

You have to think concerns about Spezza's long-term health status will only be magnified after being run over by the team bus.

Didn't Malkin say Montreal was one of two or three teams he'd love to play for?

 

[Red_Man]

McGuire is from Montreal, lives in Montreal and came in 2nd for the Montreal GM job.....gets Pens job and sends us Malkin as an inside job? Genius!

Hextall's gettin' to work:

Flyers sign forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare

29 year old French winger from the SHL.

 

[Smiley90]

New season masterchef gifs?!? Approving of this so fucking hard.

Also what's this 3DS announcement thing you guys are talking about.

My god i hate him, he is talented but sometimes his mind just flips. Brutal hit on a teammate of mine a couple of years ago, like 8 seconds into the game. Fuck him.

Nonis said that there isn't a fit financially with Komarov. Guess he'll be an UFA in July.

Loan Clarkson to the KHL.

WTF...

I wanted to believe, but this makes sense. We're tossing Clarkson likely on the 3rd line. So that would more or less default Komo to 4th...that might be too much money for a 4th liner.

Fucking Nonis...

Hahahahahaaha
Clarkson is gonna get premium 2nd line minutes.

We don't actually have any top 6 wingers in the system and getting one from FA is too expensive, therefore Clarkson will be placed on the 2nd line.

It's honestly astounding how Nonis gets stupider and stupider with every passing day.

I had positive hopes for Nonis, but he's just stomping that shit down every day.

Snes gonna relocate?!

Hopefully to downtown Ottawa instead of Snobnata.

Shhiiiiieeeeetttt...

What a fucking loser. Hopefully this stops the Spezza defense force in town. He was a -26, blames other teammates when he fucks up and thinks he had it tough in Ottawa LOL. He'd get grilled to death in Toronto.

I passed by Kanata once.
