Out of college 5 years now and I've finally stopped dreaming it was the end of the year and I knew nothing / had missed all my classes and was about to fail.

I don't have those nightmares because that's actually a pretty good representation of my academic career.
I've had a few of those, God speed.
I cheer for the Habs in the playoffs actually...their team is fun to watch right now.
HabsGAF requires some tempering from time to time, though. Solo isn't around often enough to keep his boys in check
Ive been out for 2. Still building up ambition to finish my masters.

Shovel Knight is the only video game I've been playing Non Stop. I love it.

What high end prospects do you think will start this year in the NHL for their respective clubs? Fantasy question here.

Thanks bros. Presentation was ace. First test was good. Second test was ok.
Overall it was a successful day. Thanks for the well wishes. All I want to do right now is have a celebratory drink. But I work in an hour.
I've only had a nightmare like that once and it was horrible.
I didn't watch the first preseason game, but apparently he looked...not up to the task of the NHL. Lots of speculation he won't even start with the team when the regular season starts. He might need some AHL time.
I hear yeee, I miss Solos realistic take on his team, breath of fresh air compared to all the homerism.
But I guess he's too busy swimming in pussy.

Was originally designed for both NBA and NHL then to cut costs they did it for NBA only
Which means there is offset... AFAIK the jumbotron will hang over a blue line instead of centre ice
They were on the news in NYC last week promoting, and I swear this is true, "the best seats in the NHL."

Just FYI: The name and multiple pictures of the alleged victim in the Patrick Kane investigation are floating around social media now. I know this goes without saying, but DO NOT retweet or repost any information you see.
Nope, Brooklyn's arena is a basketball arena that happens to fit a hockey rink (and just barely).
Same shit going on at my University. They just built a $100+ million arena that can only be used for basketball, volleyball and gymnastics. It's a nice building, but the hockey team needs something to play in that wasn't built in the fucking 70s.
That's a shame, last I heard he had done well in the prospect tournament. It'll be good for him to get AHL time anyway.
Truthfully, the only reason it stung losing him was the defense is unquestionably the weak link right now. The fact that he passed on the opportunity to burn a year off of an ELC just so he could play for his home team is pretty admirable. Also, it helps that Paliotta came over in the Saad deal.
Also
Hole. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. SHIT. Homeboy still wants to play in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Luongo switching out to a yellow helmet. I wonder if he'll do the home/away helmets again this year.

Omg that looks so bad.
That's terrible.

Is Luongo bringing back his Pink Panther mask this season?
Yep. Layout is shit alright.
Barclays Center is taking over marketing and day-to-day business operations, so they're probably not concerned about attendance and seating.
I'd assume though that some renovations will probably happen to better accommodate hockey games, since the Isles are there until at least 2040.
Luongo's always had great masks. I've always liked his first Vancouver mask:
Bonus mask and pads combo:

For a long time his best mask was his Twitter account.
Hello lads. I'm still around and will try to post more during the season. Work has been crazy and my girlfriend and I moved in together 6 months ago so GAF time has been harder to come by.
And for the record, I think the Habs once again (sadly) will only go as far as Price will carry them unless AGally puts up like 60+ points and Semin scores 25+. Because otherwise, this is more or less the same offensively anemic team we dressed last year. And let's be honest, Therrien will put DD at 1C at the first sign of trouble. Much like last year, we have the best goalie in the world, solid defense, and questionable offense.

I smell a trade coming.
United Center. Still the best arena in the NHL!

GOAT, next to Beezer's cat mask.
Luongo has been more basic styling last few years but last season he had a home and away kit which looked great:

He's right though. it's probably going to be the same thing last year. But hopefully we can score more goals and our PP doesn't look like complete shit.
He said the same thing about Cleary too.

I hope Therrien gives him a chance. Semin can Redeem himself this year same with Kassian.
I can't hold all these hopes
Kassian isn't redeeming shit. You can't fix stupid, I'm sure he'll have some good hits to go with all his penalties though.
I could actually see Semin and Kassian playing well together--assuming the Habs allow Kassian to play as a playmaker, and don't try to shoehorn him into the role of a crash 'n bang power forward like the Canucks.
YOU GO THIS BROSEF!

I'll take that bet.
Loser has to root for only the Coyotes for a month.
He'll get a few games, but will not be there full time.
Depends... do you mean to start the season? cause I don't think that's happening
graduating him after the trade deadline is possible tho
Yea, he had a pretty serious injury. I also think he's the kind of guy to let his environment affect his play. Playing in front of a Montreal crowd, with a good team will be a lot different than playing in front of a basement dwelling team in Carolina.
If he can get back to some of what he can be, he can really change the dynamic of this team.
