I wasn't aware of this. That's good news, although everything said by Bergevin has indicated that he is happy with how he's done, so we'll see what happens.

I've watched this game for all of about three minutes now and I can safely say without any chance of rebuttal that Edmonton is getting yet another floater on their team.
They're going to ruin Morgan Ellis for good if they keep Lefebvre.
Moving to a new city it's a chance to start new, and there are a lot of good, young coaches in the QMJHL right now.

That tornado was a long time ago.
Lol, I was just talking about that tornado today with a coworker.
So... does anyone know if Nintendo sells Gamepads directly? mine is fucked, the left stick is ruined and sending it to Nintendo for repairs will be fucking expensive, $80-90 or some shit like that, and at that price I'd rather buy a new one. I need to solve this issue before Splatoon comes out, I don't wanna end up buying a new console for it

They do, sort of. But you have to call Customer Service, explain how you don't have a Gamepad anymore, and then accept that you'll have to pay $150+ for the replacement. You're better off calling Nintendo and investigating what the repair will cost.
Ugh wtf Nintendo, that sounds so damn time consuming but sure, I'll do it if that's the only way. thanks!
Ive never gotten a ticket even with the cameras everywhere. The threshold has to be 20 over the limit or something.
Oh and 'road construction city'? Thats Winnipeg's slogan you thieves.

Not to disparage the good name of the KHL, but I'm skeptical of any player that's being hyped up from Europe in general going to the NHL.
The league's had a few Euro free agent busts or players below expectations. Not to confuse them with players already playing for top-tier European/KHL clubs getting drafted by the NHL, of course.

He played on Lehtera and Tarasenko's line in SKA. They were fun to watch back before Tarasenko signed and I would wake up at 5am to see SKA's games.

E3 is getting close. I can't wait to be disappointed with all of the nothing!
Everyone's getting a press conference this year, the last time this happened we got that Konami conference.
My expectations can't be higher

What's there to discuss? The Bruins either take the pick or they don't, the Oilers don't really have a say in the matter.

Yeah. Cause if there was ever a time when Konami could make some noise it's when their games division seems like it's completely on fire.
"Hey we thought we'd drop a sick new Castlevania."
"Yeah, so basically you're Simon and you whip your enemies into submission. By matching 3 axes, daggers, holy waters etc."
"Oh and I guess Metal Gear? And if you want to make the next Metal Gear stop by our booth. Thank you for your time."
It is pretty amazing how far Konami has sunk. You'd think they'd stop digging that hole at some point but every day they go deeper.

I just think it's obvious they don't give a fuck about games anymore. They make way more money elsewhere.
I would've probably been way more pumped about E3 if it felt like VR was going to be going all in. But all signs point to an Oculus delay, Valve probably doesn't care to hype their stuff there(assuming Vive even gets released this year), and I have my suspicions that Morpheus is at least 1 1/2 years away. Still, it's always a good time so I'll be looking forward to all the meltdowns and shenanigans.

No I got it man, my expectations for batshit out of Konami are low. Honestly I just kinda expect a Metal Gear trailer, some soccer thing and that's it. All presented by business suit wearing people who don't want to be there.
Konami is a piece of shit, every time I hear their name I remember Hudson Soft and feel like punching a wall. Don't ever expect jackshit from that joke of a publisher
This is definitely it.
The Konami gym I saw in Tokyo was massive. Wouldn't be surprised if that one gym alone pulled in more revenue last year than the revenue of all their video games from last year combined.
That said, if this is the way they're going, why not sell their IPs(while they still have value)? Really stupid way of doing business.
Sell their IPs? they bought even more a few years ago!!!

It's possible that's in the works now that Kojima really is seemingly out of the picture. Hell, having a team working on Metal Gear and then putting it up for sale may be a lot more attractive to prospective buyers. I don't know. Predicting what the fuck goes on inside of Konami is similar to trying to predict what goes on in a lot of Japanese companies. Very rarely does the public get the truth and when it does it is never good news.
Bryan Murray is coming back as GM next year, pretty much guarantees that Chris Phillips will be a part of this team
Also, they'll be giving an offer to Hammond and, if he accepts, they will be moving one of Andy or Robin.

Not liking what I am hearing. Team keeps shooting itself in the foot.
What actually annoyed me the most is the hard on Murray has for a top 6 forward, since he mentioned it again, when a top 6 NHL d-man is our most pressing need.
Here's our current top 6:
Hoffman
Stone
Turris
Zibanejad
Ryan
Macarthur
I think that's a pretty damn good top 6 in the front.

My town is finally getting its OJHL team back after it was disbanded a few years ago. I grew up with the previous team, it had been around since the 1930s.
the new team name is the "Royals"... which is kinda lame
Thieves!
Could you trust a guy called Weirdcock?

Really? I can definitely see why Murray wants to improve it.
Is anyone with an alternative internet provider here? Since Shaw&Telus etc are now enforcing data caps (yay Canada) with monetary penalties I'm looking around... I've heard good things about Teksavvy, but there's also AEBC, Slamhang, Lightspeed. Montreal-DSL, Surf and Unmetered, all for roughly the same price. Does anyone have any good/bad experience with any of those? Thanks!
I've been with Teksavvy for a little while now and they've been great. Always helpful when I call technical support, which I haven't had to do in a while.
Aare you serious? I'm so fucked! Damn you, Shaw.
"Beginning March 30, however, Telus will charge an initial $5 for an extra 50GB of data once the limit has been exceeded. If these user exceeds that extra bucket of data, they will be charged another $10 for every extra 50GB bucket of data they use, to a maximum of $75. The company will notify users before charging."
you're lying to yourself if you don't think Shaw will immediately do the same thing, too.
Also, beginning this year Shaw actually lowered their internet speeds for the same price:
Original Price Original Speed New Price New Speed
$90 100mbps $90 60mbps
$80 50mbps $70 30mbps
$60 25mbps $60 15mbps
$55 10mbps $50 5mbps
fucking Canadian ISPs, man.
I think I'll go with Lightspeed. They work through Shaw so I don't need new cable, their activation fee of 75.- is currently waived so I'll pay 44.15.- per month including modem rental for 25mbps with unlimited cap AND I can avoid Shaw/Telus. Half the price of Shaw AND unlimited, what a fucking joke :lol

It doesn't sound like they will actually charge you for going over. Instead, they'll call you after 3-4 months of exceeding your 'data transfer limit' and talk about moving you to a higher plan (aka, they'll call you and say you're being moved to the $120 p/m plan).
