I only hope it's not like Clarkson where we're constantly waiting for him to return and make our team whole, and when he does return he's totally useless.

Think we're probably gonna have the season everyone expected us to have last season. And I'm alright with that, mostly because we need some goddamn defense if we're actually going to go anywhere. Any wakeup call in that regard is a good thing.
Congrats? He's also getting paid 1 million so not like we're invested in him.
Didn't you also say last year Raymond would just fall down a lot and give us nothing?
You were only half right!!!

I see you've followed a team with David Booth on the roster before?
We can still call out your shitty post from here though. There should be enough. I'll check the Xbox threads!
Edit: Just went through the thread where you got the quote from... Wow. it's just video games, people!

I love that it's Amir0x in the middle of it. Of course it would be.
So it begins. Thanks for taking him Toronto.

lol Toronto media. Asks Bernier if he was using a new glove because his glove hand was struggling last night.
Surprised he's still around after all the stuff he did.

My fantasy team from last night, Minnesota Nice:
C:
Niklas Backstrom
David Krejci
Mikko Koivu
LW:
Max Pacioretty
Ondrej Palat
Carl Soderberg (Also C)
RW:
Corey Perry
Martin St. Louis
Brandon Saad (Also LW)
D:
Ryan Suter
Hampus Lindholm
Radko Gudas
Sami Vatanen
G:
Semyon Varlamov
Darcy Kuemper
Niklas Backstrom
Got some of the best goal scorers in the league with Perry and Patches, then guys who could go off with assists in Backstrom and to a lesser extent Koivu and Suter. Gudas will get me a ton of penalty minutes. Just realized I have two Anaheim defenders. I hope they both do well I guess.
Good support players and a great goalie in Varlamov. Will play whoever is playing on a given night for the Wild, who should be a top ten defensive team again. The goalies will benefit from that.
I was going to change my team name but I have enough Wild players I can keep it.

I understand why but holy shit it's such a bummer that he isn't working out. That leaves us exactly two promising defensive prospects, both of which are still a ways out.

Our top line today against the Leafs is the kid line.
Oh well, at least it is televised and I can see the kids play, not many higher up regulars in today for us.

That millennial thread sure is something.
This should be an officially listed stat for all players. Make things interesting.
Been wondering about that too. I kinda forgot he was there for a while. Seems we're icing a strong NHL team vs. a real weak one. Best players there are Schenn, Laughton and Raffl up front? Bunch of names I don't know...
I guess tomorrow will be the opposite. MDZ will play with a much more competent team against our B squad.
This along with girth, mean jerk time and so much more will be included in PierreStats. The numbers will not be self reported.

McLaren and Orr are still up as well, right?
How can those 2 guys be better options than Kontiola or Bodie?
Because carlyle
OK. He's been playing with LSchenn the whole time. They struggled as the first pairing against a Toronto team with most of their big guns playing, but that wasn't surprising. They will be the 3rd pairing unless something odd happens.

Booth
- Good. He was cheap and seemed to be floating anyways. Only thing he did was score in the skills competition.
Clarktard
- Good. This all but guarantees we keep enough kids up and should increase Kozun's chances (I still think he deserves a spot anyways). Clarkson only had one tip in goal and was invisible otherwise.
Kontiola
- Feel bad about this...he wanted to get another shot and it just didn't work out. I don't think he ever 'paid' the KHL to leave; it was likely Leafs money anyways. I'd like him in the AHL to get used to the speed to possibly get called up later, but oh well.
Talinder
- Blame the Sabres
Bodie
- He's not going anywhere. He'll be back with the AHL.
Granberg
- His own fault. Dude just didn't seem ready, but maybe some more time in the AHL and he can get some more confidence and he can get called up.
Holzer
- He wasn't BAD, but he was far from great. I'd prefer Percy, but we have too many offensive defensemen up anyways.

Holzer won't rot away if he's scratched, while Granberg needs those minutes.
I hope Kontiola sticks around and tries to adapt his game. Can never have too many C's.

Surprising part is that they gave him a tryout at all.
Must have been using him as motivation for the other players. "You practice hard or else we'll play Ville Leino instead and everyone will know that's your fault."
Dang... I want my money back.

Leino should sign with the Islanders.
You can't be too surprised at cut content after playing the game.
I didn't read that past the first post, simply because a Reddit insider is basically anti-proof. The only way he can be less believable is if one of the Reddit mods verifies him, then you'll know 100% he's just bullshitting.
And everything he says is vague bullshit mixed in with a few 6 month old tweets from Bungie staffers.

It would be pretty easy to tailor fake insider information like this. We will never know if this person is telling the truth.
But its pretty easy to see that Destiny went through some development hell and we ended up with a completely different game.
He's on a one-way contract right? Well if he's serious about being an NHLer, he probably shouldn't give up after a handful of pre-season games.

They definitely had a lot more and they cut and stripped it down to the mess that we now have so they could ship on time. Not sure whether Bungie or Activision is responsible for the mess, sounds like Halo 2.

I know it's reddit but sadly it does make sense.
Wow. Not sure how much of that is true but considering what the game is it seems plausible.
Allegedly there were conflicts internally at Bungie.
There is a lot of supporting evidence in the thread on Gaming side. And it pretty much is in agreement with the 'insider'
It could be that this person wrote this and filled in a few blanks with the information we have.
Just take a look at this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=903329
It has a lot of good information on the latest pages. Page 9 has some great information on it (50ppp)
