I can't envision a Tansey Anaheim jersey. So probably not us.
Who's the superior Allaire? Benoit or François?
maybe a Gulls jersey

Montreal needs another defensively responsible centre who doesn't put up a lot of points?
Big news. Probably puts to rest some trepidation from GMs into signing Russians and tapping into the KHL pool in general. The current way for KHL players to jump to North America is pretty shitty. The per-player fee can really be a huge burden for players.
And Immediate 3-on-3 in OT would be pretty sweet. So much open ice. 4-on-4 to 3-on-3 seems like a good option. The shootout has run its course.

I don't know why everyone hates shootouts, they seem fine to me.
MacKinnon, Duchene, O'reilly
Gainey and Schneider are bozos, apparently.

Shoot outs have been really good to us over the years. RIP Wolski we will never forget.

Shot blocking with better equipment is a big reason why scoring is down, though banning it would be kind of dumb. I'd also guess that most injuries happen due to going down and one knee and blocking with the shin, leads to more fractures whereas fully body slides lead to more bruises.

That Mega Man collection is god's way of punishing me for all the shit I said in the other thread
Ian Laperriere's career ended due to an unluckily timed full body slide. I'd be fine without them.

We just need more powerplays.
Start calling shit like it was 2006.
Imagine watching five Avs pp's per game!

Yeah, he didn't wear a visor because he broke his nose on one, which is just a poor choice.
In 05-06 16 guys had more points than this year's scoring leader. A lot more PPs is the only way I think we'll ever see multiple players with 100+ points in a season again.

I wouldn't be opposed to the league banning the prone body block in those situations. Keep it for the 2-on-1s when the defender is taking away the pass.

I wasn't sure if he was aware of our terrible man advantage. Not like 19 & 21 and I bitch about our PP with something like, "We'd be better off at even strength, nag, nag, nag..."

I just wish Megaman Legends 3 still existed
Any of you older Canadians remember Fergie Olver? I just saw this youtube video of him being incredibly creepy on some children's game show from the 80s.

So if they do move forward with restricting shot blocking, do they call a penalty for sliding?
That's really dumb, still.

I dislike too many PP's. They upset the flow of the game and leaves too many of the same players on the ice. If both teams have 8 PP's each that's 32 minutes (or less) of a game taken up.
They shouldn't increase the net size, but players are getting bigger, faster, and stronger, and the ice isn't getting any bigger. I would say cut down on equipment size but that could lead to more injuries.
Doing something about shot-blocking could reduce injuries and increase scoring at the same time, but how do you tell someone not to fall down on the ice? It's part of the game.
i could have sworn that happened already :lol

The problem is that letting players get away with interference does the same thing.
Clutch and grab slows the game down :/

Hes actually really good buddies with Dubas, he was at their MvsW draft party last year

Are you trying to say I'm old?
I remember him but not from this show. He used to do the Jays games.
