ah, stats stuff.

Anaheim should have paid up for a defensive stud like Yandle. His Corsi Rel was high so he's good at defense. That's how it works now.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Raptors what the fuck are you doing?

At least they didn't take Thon Maker.

Lol Bucks

 

[Curufinwe]

But stats say Yandle is below average defensively

This guy doesn't think so.

Advanced stats, yo. Gotta calculate the best chance to win the East.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Yo Thunder just got Oladipo

Ibaka to the Magic

 

[zroid]

NBA draft is taking a bit of a weird turn

Come on Jamal Murray fall to the Craptors.

We got Michael Grabner 2.0

 

[Yawnier]

We got Michael Grabner 2.0

These last few picks after the Raptors pick have mostly been reaches and weird so I feel less worse about the raptors pick now lol.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

How is this compared to Refine?

I've never used Refine, but I like 1Blocker more than Purify. Had Peace installed until Marco Arment pulled it. 1Blocker gets updated pretty regularly and very customizable. They all probably work about the same though.

 

[KernelPanic]

With the Raptors luck they probably just drafted Bargnani 2.0.

Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen doesn't care how the experts see this year's draft. He doesn't care to agree with the conventional wisdom reached by media and fans after the prospects are graded and ranked by NHL's central scouting, TSN, The Hockey News, etc.

"If we pick at three, we'll get a great player," Kekalainen said. "If we move down, we're going to take a player that we feel is going to be as good -- or nearly as good -- as we would have gotten at three.
"If we move down, it's not that we're going to settle for a much lesser of a player by doing it. We feel that the top of the draft is so good that, if we're going to move back, we're probably not going to move back very much."

Kekalainen reiterated on Thursday that a trade will happen only after Toronto and Winnipeg have made their picks, which indicates that the Blue Jackets aren't exactly smitten with one of the presumed top three picks.

"I've been ripped many times when I ran the draft in Ottawa or St. Louis for taking so and so," Kekalainen said. "I remember in Ottawa, for example, we got ripped for taking Marian Hossa (No. 12 overall in 1997) ahead of some local guy from the Ottawa 67s. I don't even remember the other guy's name."

While with St. Louis, Kekalainen oversaw the 2008 draft in which the Blues took defenseman Alex Pietrangelo with the No. 4 pick, leaving Tyler Myers to slide to Buffalo with the No. 12 pick.

Yeah it's going to happen. I'll probably be taking my fiancee to see Independence Day tomorrow night, so I'm sure I'll find out just before the movie starts. Maybe the promise of explosions and Jeff Goldblum will dull the pain.

I'm hoping for JV 2.0

 

[bonesmccoy]

MTL and NYI swapped picks???

 

[Samyy]

MTL and NYI swapped picks???

Not seeing anything to that effect

 

[Heretic]

MTL and NYI swapped picks???

if you're talking about that picture, I think they were just doing some tests on the equipment

 

[Stasis]

MTL and NYI swapped picks???

Nothing here either... I follow a lot of sources.

What you got?

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Is Fowler even thattttt good?

He's a top unit guy, PP, PK, all situations, always got the match ups against the other team's best line, had to do it with Lovejoy/Bieksa/Despres... And sometimes Stoner. Easily a pretty good and getting to fit in as a leader since Beauchemin left. Only weakness is he shies from being too physical and has an average wrister of a slap shot.

Kind of weird how there's been all these hints that Winnipeg maybe prefers Puljujarvi to Laine, and Columbus isn't that high on Puljujarvi

maybe they should just trade picks... Jarmo can throw in a 3rd or something

 

[bonesmccoy]

Pick of the draft board, with the 9th saying 'NYI from Montreal'. Likely an ingenious fake.

Hasn't something like that happened every year? It definitely feels like it lol

That stuff always happens. They are probably testing the boards and stuff

They're testing the boards. Putting all kinds of crazy shit up.

Did the Nuggets do something stupid? Probably.

 

[Zombie James]

Raptors what the fuck are you doing?

[Yawnier]

Did the Nuggets do something stupid? Probably.

They took a reach at #15, but most of the other teams around them are also making strange picks right now so idk.

It's a weird draft so far. Lots of international and European players being picked.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I appreciate the effort and the panic it created.

 

[MultiJhonny]

We gave Good Ass an extension and rightly so

Only details is that it is a multi-yea extension so probably like 2-3 years.

They did that last year too and moved the Leafs out of the 4th overall.

Gudas i will never forget for his laughable defensive play here:

The Brexit referendum results are producing more drama than the Stanley Cup Final!

 

[Smiley90]

them leaving would be about as dumb as the Habs trading Subban

It's damn close.

I just watched John Oliver's segment on it.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Gudas? Fuck that dude, he smells bad.

 

[Red_Man]

Something came up at work right before that press conference, but it was pretty obvious what he was going to say. No team is willing to part with what it would take to get Subban, end of discussion, all you vultures can circle Fowlers corpse. On that note, definitely not going into work tomorrow with all this potential fuckery going on.

When Bergevin has to hold a press conference to say he is not trading Subban, it means he is trading Subban. Dat damage control.

The conference had been scheduled for a while and was to talk about the draft, Benning fucked everything up this morning when he opened his big mouth.

 

[MultiJhonny]

I still can't believe that ass is only 26 years old too. Dude looks 40 at least

He and Polak look way too similar, it confuses the shit outta me

 

[Socreges]

My OnePlus One fried this morning (water damage + 4A charger = bad times) and so I'm back with my S3 from 2 years ago. Fuck it's totally fine except they don't support it with software updates. Imagine a world where old phones got new features and were optimised. No one would upgrade and technology wouldn't advance as quickly but hey we wouldn't give a shit since we wouldn't know any better.

Seriously it's stunning to realise the diminishing returns in recent years. I just bought a OnePlus 3 and now I feel silly

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING

Has anything actually happened?

 

[zroid]

Wait... the Raptors traded their 2016 2nd round pick... in 2009?!

lol NBA

 

[zroid]

my god, the GBP is crashing harder than the Canadian Dollar did early this year

 

[Calamari41]

Time to start slamming VTI!

Oh that's why we don't have a pick.

God Damn it

Leave is going to win

Ireland wants to break from the UK

Scotland will follow, effectively ending the UK

Cameron may be resigning

British Economy is tanking
