McGuire just said earlier today that Florida has made an offer to a coach, but the coach hasn't accepted the offer yet.

This.

Football goes in cycles, with four years usually being the max a team has a stranglehold on the competition. That's all you're seeing now.

Germany is just getting their youth at the right age from 2-4 years ago, so they should be able to get over that hump now that Spain is done.

Makes sense. Other teams learn to adapt, while the winning team gets older and complacent. Maybe the game changes too. Experience isn't always the predominant factor.

Combine the fact that they're an older team with the fact that all of their players went deep in all club competitions (meaning more games per week than other players), such as the Champion's League which wrapped up 2 weeks before the World Cup. It's an old and tired team whose youth hasn't arrived yet.

Confirmation bias and all that, but this isn't too great a surprise. Especially given how good Netherlands and Chile are.

Sportsnet's Brian Lawton reporting rumor of Toronto trading #8 and Kadri to FLA for the #1 overall pick. #Leafs

!!!

What do you think, Dubb?

Actually, according to other sites, it's Gardiner + Kadri + 8th overall for 1st overall and apparently that would not be enough for Dale. Pass.

The more I hear out of O'Reilly's camp the less I care about having him around. Good god, the off-ice princess antics are too much to deal with. Great player that seems unhealthily obsessed with the financial side of the game, and his fucking agent only makes it worse. Would not be sad if we traded him at this point.

Not really high on Kadri, we have bigger, better centerman. I like Gardiner but not enough to pass Ekblad and drop down to 8.

Nonis - like his sugar daddy - is more about the 'like for like' moves, so I don't think we'll see a Kadri for a pick move.

Very true, and the above was compounded I think by some of Del Bosque's squad decisions. Pique and Ramos is an extremely shaky pairing at the best of times. Diego Costa is clearly unfit and unable to play. Torres should never have been allowed near the team.

Straight up that would be stupid.

Unless they're super keen on Holland and think they can get another good defenseman to fill the hole that Gards leaves, I'm not sure why they'd do this. I'd be happier if it was Franson.

So I was watching a porn vid earlier today featuring August Ames (who I highly recommend, btw) and I decided to actually listen to the dumb shit at the beginning where the camera guy asks the girl dumb questions while they play with their tits and stuff.

And what do I hear? Shitting on the Leafs and Sens. Oh it was glorious.

"Where are you from?"

"Nova Scotia."

"Oh so you're a hockey fan? What team?"

"Not the Leafs."

"Why not?"

"Because they're the Leafs. I grew up an Senators fan but then I dated a guy who was a huge Boston Bruins fan and I converted...it wasn't hard because the Senators are terrible."

Even pornstars know the terribleness of the Leafs.

Pique and Ramos are normally solid, but they rely on a fitter midfield that keeps comfortable possession. Spain misses Puyol, of course, but who else would replace him?

Berglund is "like" Kadri, just older and not as good.

It's kinda weird that you get more sensible and insightful analysis of Spain's collapse in NHL offseason thread than in actual World Cup thread where half of the posts are basically ''lolololol Spain sucks lolololol''.

lol this article about Ville Leino and his agent.

“He wasn’t surprised,” Leino’s agent, Markus Lehto, told The Buffalo News by phone. “He was pretty neutral about it.”

“Free agency starts first of July, and we’ll go from there,” Lehto said. “His priority is to play in the NHL. He knows he’s a very good NHL player. Obviously, the past two seasons have been just average, I would say, but I’m not going to go and try and analyze what happened. I mean, we’ll just look forward.”

Yep. 0 goals and 38 shots in 58 games is AVERAGE for a $4.5 million player.

Who would sign Leino now? I wouldn't even give him league minimum, every team probably has an AHL guy who can play better than him.

NORRISSONNNNNNN!!!!!!

I wake up everyday with a gallon of gasoline ready to burn Canadian Tire Center down and Melnyk with it, the only thing stoping me is that we still have Norrisson.

Not sure why you think those questions are dumb. They're crucial for character development

Watch Leino have a high % season again and score 30. While playing for the damned Kings or something. Making 1m.

I've never rated Ramos in the centre. I would have thought he'd been on the wing, and Albiol in the centre with Pique.

pre-edit: Pique didn't even start today??? !!!
