damn I forgot Mason was your goalie, my bad

 

[Cake Boss]

I never said you wouldn't have made the playoffs.

with Anderson in net? unless you play 82 games against us...

 

[CreeperBlocks]

The Rangers signed Stoll... Why?

 

[imBask]

i'm saying you won't make the playoffs THIS YEAR with Anderson in net, I didn't talk about last year

then again i'm looking at last years standing and everyone below you except the Pens got either worst or didn't get any better DAMNIT

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The Rangers signed Stoll... Why?

Upgrade from Glass.

 

[Curufinwe]

damn I forgot Mason was your goalie, my bad

I'm fully expecting him to have a down season because only elite goalies are good every year, but now we have a solid backup for the first time in ages (Neuvirth) it should be manageable.

 

[MetatronM]

By the way, Stoll's contract is 1 year, $800k.

We had a random cokehead signing last offseason, too (Ryan Malone), so this just seems to be company policy now. Nobody is gonna outcoke us!

 

[Pikma]

I installed one and while I could probably play it, I was constantly chugging along at somewhere between 10-15 fps. I was rarely above that, maybe once above 20 if I'm remembering right.

Yet somehow Fallout 3 works okay. It chugs every once in a while, but for the most part is okay.

They were always horribly optimized though, so that probably explains it.

Take away paul maclean and we wouldnt need to go on a crazy run to make the playoffs.

regarding last year season.

followed by

Next year yeah I have tempered expectations. we will fight for the last playoff spot.

The Columbus Blue Jackets that finished last season on a 12-0-1 run and added Brandon Saad in the offseason? That Columbus?

they're more than 1 Saad away from the playoffs, but they'll probably fight for it this year

the 7 other teams are beyond savior

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers will be in the hunt for the last spot if they can fix the PK that Berube ruined last season.

 

[Cake Boss]

they're more than 1 Saad away from the playoffs, but they'll probably fight for it this year

How about their health?

http://www.mangameslost.com/end-of-...-games-lost-and-tmitt-metrics-april-16-2015/#

most games lost to injury than any other team in the league.

And who was the healthiest? oh look.

 

[MetatronM]

They probably should have made it this past season. They were just ravaged by injuries and bad luck right from preseason all the way until about March. If they play to their potential, stay healthy, and get a good year out of Bob, they could compete with the Rangers, Caps, and Isles for the Metro division title outright.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Panthers were a bubble team last year and very close to a spot despite losing the 2C and losing both goalies down the stretch.
Should be very much in the hunt, if not sniffing around the #3 spot.

you're salty that our team was healthy? it's not my fault if Pacioretty is literally Wolverine

i'd put money against it

That's right -- NBC's first NFL preseason game overnight rating was higher than its Blackhawks-Lightning Stanley Cup clincher (Game 6)

What this sport needs is more small market Canadian teams.

it definitely needs more Florida team with 3000 person at the game and 2000 watching at home, now THAT'S what we need

 

[Cake Boss]

lmao yeah salty. I been baited by an hfboards poster here.

lol i'm obviously messing with you m8 cmon, I don't actually HATE the Sens, I just don't care much about them

 

[Kifimbo]

The NHLPA has filed a grievance on behalf of Mike Richards contesting the termination of his contract by the LA Kings.

Have we heard anything about the investigation ?

 

[Marvie_3]

Considering the NHL is never going to get massive tv deals like the other leagues, this is a good idea. If we're talking money, ill take winnipeg and quebec over a lot of american markets any day.

i gotta say.. doesn't look bad at all

I don't know man, it kinda looks like a toilet... then again we have the Stade Olympique so who am I to judge cities on toilet-shaped-stadium

 

[Foggy]

Fancy graph for fancy people. Most man games lost(slightly more than Avs), but in addition, the injuries had a much larger impact due to the quality of the players lost.

I think it'd be a serious disappointment if a healthy Blue Jackets squad doesn't make the playoffs this year. I don't trust this blue line to do damage in the playoffs, but who knows. It depends on if Murray stays healthy and improves, someone reminds Jack Johnson he had an Olympic snub, and if Savard and Goldbeef get substantially better. They're not a juggernaut or anything, but they definitely don't deserve the Triple H snub.

This extra surly Cake Boss got me all hot and bothered.

dude don't even

Complete the Cycle

 

[ShaneB]

The NFL Juggernaut roles on. I'd say I can't wait for the season to start, same with hockey, but my golf addiction is back and has taken over. Those sports being back means colder weather is coming!

Shovel Knight is a fantastic game. This game is REALLY Legit. I hope we get a sequel.

yeah dude

everyone has been saying that for months

 

[bonesmccoy]

NHL is the dumbest big league in NA.

Expansion *into* a shit tiny market in Canada, just as the CAD starts to really bottom out.

where did all this hostility come from lol

Cake Boss and Red_Man should just make up already. Getting Salty in here and it's rubbing off on everyone, except me

Also:

@AnaheimDucks: From the team that brought you some iconic third jerseys comes the newest one. See it October 16! http://t.co/QMuRjGHjIn

Please be Mighty Ducks

First two teams.

 

[Solo]

Habs are definitely going to take a step back this year. They are still a guaranteed playoff team, but they are not winning 50 games this year and almost winning the President's trophy. Price cant have another season like that in a row and the team in front of him is basically the same low scoring team of last year, plus Semin.

Habs will be like the 4th-6th seed in the East.

 

[Clydefrog]

Kings will be like 12th in the West this year. It will be embarrassing. Back to mediocrity we go.

Quebec will still bring in more money than a lot of the US teams even with the canadian dollar being weak.

Eh...I can't really get into Shovel Knight. It's strange because I like stuff like classic Mega Man a bunch.

I honestly believe we can we another 50 games. We have what it takes and i'm willing to blame every drought we had last season on Therrien

The way I see it

Price playing like last year = Similar position
Price playing average = 4th-6th seed
Price playing bad/injured = Fighting for playoffs

"average" for him is "above par" compared to pretty much any other goalie.. basically what i'm saying it. Price will once again hold Habs' future

better than my team any way. a miracle wouldn't be enough to make the playoffs.

We should fix this hostility with a fucking Royal Rumble match, winner earns a shot at the NHLGAFCW Ultimate Heel Title, currently held by Tabris Cena.
