TUSR.

Beauchemin is wearing 32 and not his regular 23 for this upcoming season. Obviously that's Hejduk's number but it isn't retired (we have too many retired numbers as it is).

wanna talk about having too many retired numbers?
Though we have 5 in 20 years which is what's crazy.

11/18 were retired in the last ten years, too. Was there some kind of initiative put in place to go back and give people their proper dues, or something?
Gainey probably wanted to retire a lot of them quickly so he could retire his own and stroke his massive ego
Best bets in terms of popular podcasts, def.
reddit has a list of hockey podcasts to listen to but not all of them are up to date (or still active)

Fuck, now I need to try LiS again. I got episode one when it came out and never got into it. Didn't give it much time, though.
I'm impatient as I get older.
And NYC is great, but the more awesome areas are just really fucking expensive now. I guess that's the problem in most places. Montreal isn't there yet. You can still find great places for decent rent. You can still even buy condos in non shit areas for like $300k or so. Maybe a bit cheaper. I haven't checked in a while. Makes it kinda unique in that sense. Having lived in both NYC and Montreal proper (NDG) I can say they're both fantastic. And the city is so English, as is most of the north shore and Laval and heading out west a bit, DDO, Kirkland... it's really easy for a non french speaker to get started. Though I do think most jobs require basic french at the very least due to Provincial law.
Everyone should fly here and check it out. Then we can do a fake mtl-gaf meetup. It's just me and Alucard right? I'm like 20 minutes out now. I live a few mins away from Price and a few others. Thought we saw him at our fave restaurant yesterday. My gfs like: "I thinks its Carey..." but it was just a Quebecer redneck in a big ass pickup with a gun rack and a camo hat. Lol.
Also, can we fast forward a few weeks? Hockey break is way too fucking long.

The Flyers one is just as bad. Lindblom ahead of Sanheim is particularly laughable.
1 Travis Konecny, C (18)
2 Ivan Provorov, D (31)
3 Oskar Lindblom, LW (46)
4 Travis Sanheim, D (68)
5 Samuel Morin, D (HM)
6 Robert Hagg, D (HM)
7 Shayne Gostisbehere, D (HM)
8 David Kase, C
9 Felix Sandstrom, G (12G)
10 Taylor Leier, LW
He's pretty much right about us in his initial comment. We've got some 'solid' guys but only Buchnevich and maybe a goalie prospect or two are standouts. I cant see the full list. Anyone wanna post it? I'm gonna cry when Duclair pots 30 in two years and we don't even have yandle on the roster anymore.

McCarron is at least in the top five IMO
i'm not gonna pretend I know what i'm talking about because I really don't when it comes to prospects, but McCaron sounds like he's all hype... I remember him being TERRIBLE at camp last year or the one before that
His popularity is purely because he's on twitter and responding to peoples questions regularly. His bias for small, skilled guess is pretty blatant.
I was pretty down on the pick originally, and his first season in London was meh, but he made huge strides this past year. He was moved to center, had excellent point production and has developed his overall game quite a bit. A lot of scouts have commented on how far he's come in the past year, I could easily see him making the team out of camp if not for how crowded the bottom six was.
Out of all our current prospects, he's the safest bet to be a regular NHLer, and I say this while excluding DLR seeing as he spent half the season in Montreal.
What about unpopular ones like Salt on the Ice?
DLR is locked in
yeah I guess, at least from what I know... as I said, I have a really hard time caring about prospects, it's a weird science and most fan debate are based on hype and hearsay
I saw Louis Leblanc play with Le Junior and he seemed REALLY GOOD!
:lol
I used to not give a shit about Chloe and even hated her sometimes but ep. 3 and 4 completely changed that. I mean, fuck, her life really sucks...
Legendary things happened in Salt On The Ice.
Wow my opinions are different this guy sucks
What happened to bring back Salt on the Ice
Oh, Samyy
All them Leafs prospects on Pronmans top 100 list
.
Don't be jealous we have all the cool prospects!!!
1) Pavel Buchnevich
2) Robin Kovacs
3) Oscar Lindberg
4) Brady Skjei
5) Igor Shesterkin
6) Brandon Halverson
7) Ryan Gropp
8) Ryan Graves
9) Aleksi Saarela
10) Dylan McIlrath
You would think Tambellini would be on the list after the year he had in the WHL last season, but ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Also, LOL at Kovacs being #2 ahead of Lindberg when so much of the Rangers' offseason planning this year seems to have been based around giving Lindberg a real shot at making the opening night roster.

He was playing as an overager.
Pronman also had Grigorenko rated a head of Galchenyuk up until last year ago or a bit further than that. He has some good analysis, but he tries to stretch himself too thin and it's obvious he hasn't seen much of some players.
For comparisons sake, the rankings for the Habs by McKeen's has Scherbak at #1 and McCarron at #2 and they had direct input from scouts that are currently working for the Habs.

True, but that hardly disqualifies him from consideration.
Maybe for this season we can try it again.Wow my opinions are different this guy sucks

I'm ready to bring absolutely no insight.
John Oliver's Televangelist segment has to be one of his best one of all-time, it's brilliant

John Oliver has been on point all season. Each episode just keeps getting better and better.
Only if you can do it in Cherry's voice.

Hardcore History is amazing, by the way, thanks to those of you who recommended it. I started on the WWI series this morning and considered being late to work so I could continue driving around listening to it.

Thanks.
Kovacs ahead of Lindberg, Nieves, Skjei...
Either I need to be way more excited about Kovacs or everyone except Buch isn't worth discussing, lol.

I didn't think I could dislike Desharnais more than I already do. I was wrong.
Did we finally trade him for Patrice?

It was for a charity event that Bergeron was holding.

This should be grounds for terminating his contract.

Hey if you believe hard enough it might happen.
Still a damn shame there wasn't one after Game 7 Bruins/Leafs.
