What round pick did the Sabres trade for him again? 3rd??

 

[Fata1moose]

Vesey with an interesting pick...

 

[Cake Boss]

Fresh blood

Yo I like dis new guy, finally a new guy that's not an anime weirdo or/and a generic poster, he started off his post history with salt in August of all times. He will do well here.

 

[righthandmouse]

Vesey with an interesting pick...

Now he gets to blossom on Broadway! Like all the other greats.

Correct. 3rd round pick in the trash.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Pfft Vesey, never wanted that guy, nope. Pfft

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Can't beat the glimmer of Broadway. The smell of falafels,exhaust, and urine. Nothing beats that. Vesey is smart to go to a losing team with no future and an aging wanna be vezina goaltender.

I like you. Pikma is a fellow Devils fan!

how do you feel about the kings

also damn Canada got rekt at the womens relay

The grappling hook in Titanfall 2 feels like I'm getting faxed to a location when I use it

 

[ElephantShell]

What a terrible ending to the Blue Jays game. Inside the park walk off home run.

 

[Pikma]

So I'm gonna spend the whole weekend with a girl from Long Beach I met two weeks ago through Tinder, she invited me to stay at her house and she's hot as hell so I clearly couldn't refuse such an offer

If I don't ever post again it means it was a trap.

It was nice meeting you

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Yaaaa that was so shitty. So close to stealing it with the aaa lineup too

 

[righthandmouse]

Like Matt Gilroy

I was being facetious. The rags are a garbage team. They won't win a cup with what they're icing now. It's gonna be tampa or Pitts on the east. Nash is too scared to make the finals.

 

[TUSR]

Wow

 

[Pikma]

Look you already found my replacement

Let's make out before I go😙😙😙

Devils are the hottest team in the NHL right now baybeeeee

 

[Pikma]

Idk

The Blackhawks game was when Marty broke Roy's record.

😍😍😍😍

 

[RC]

Goddamn Japan. Running with anime in their hearts.

 

[TUSR]

This storyline is so anime.

 

[lamaroo]

De Grasse needed some help.

[RC]

De Grasse needed some help.

Hopefully we can get him that help in 2020.

 

[calder]

Awesome for Bolt to just sweep everything, easiest GOAT call ever I know


Shame for Canada, degrasse damn near caught the US for bronze.

 

[TUSR]

Only two of the Canadian runners have broken 10s?

 

[zroid]

Would be funny if the Canadians are bumped up to Bronze because of a DQ, since they were DQ'd from Bronze position in London

 

[zroid]

wait what... how did the US get disqualified lol

didn't Japan step on the line???

 

[shadowkat]

The US got disqualified?

Yay for the bronze.

 

[RC]

It's doubly sweet to get a medal and for the US to get nothing.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

we take those

 

[zroid]

Now DQ Japan

we want Silver

 

[Cake Boss]

I will wait for the appeal to the appeal first before celebrating.

 

[calder]

Hah, crazy. Always seems to be a DQ and it's usually us, so wooo GG boys

Good point!

[MetatronM]

Not even a little bit surprised we got Vesey.

I think after losing MSL, Yandle stopped the bleeding a bit

now with yandle gone... ehhhhhhhhhh

i'm not sure if gerbe, grabner, vesey, clendening will save them

I don't see how the Rangers are appealing to a free agent like Vesey right now. There in a phase where their goalie is in the last years of his prime and their defence is kinda poopy. They aren't really rebuilding either.

We've had sort of an under the radar but very substantial reboot through this offseason. Going to be a very very different Rangers team this year, and there's no real way of knowing what exactly that means. We could be pretty bad. We could be "contenders" but not really realistic threats for the Cup (like this past year). We could be pretty damn good.

The team is making some really major bets on potential this year, going pretty heavy on the risk/reward scale. If Buchnevich makes a successful transition to the US, Vesey lives up to expectations a la Kevin Hayes' rookie year, Zibanejad reinvigorates the second line and helps Kreider actually achieve some consistency and reach his potential, Gerbe and Jooris lead a new look 4th line that boots Tanner Glass out of the roster, JT Miller continues to emerge as a potential star, Brady Skjei develops into a top 4 d-man who can skate alongside McDonagh, Dylan McIlrath solidifies his role in the lineup, and Dan Girardi improves from the debacle that was last season in more limited and protected minutes, then we're looking really, really good.

In case you haven't noticed, that is A LOT of ifs.

Can't beat the glimmer of Broadway. The smell of falafels,exhaust, and urine. Nothing beats that. Vesey is smart to go to a losing team with no future and an aging wanna be vezina goaltender.

Welcome aboard. Go fuck yourself!

 

[yyzjohn]

That's the way the relay tumbles. Canada lost bronze four years ago on a DQ now we get one that way. Great final leg by DeGrasse he was flying

 

[calder]

Calamari right now:

He's busy defending the baton's performance in another thread I'm sure.

 

[Calamari41]

Calamari right now:

Nah, that'll be me in six hours when NBC decides that I'm allowed to see what's happening. Right now I'm allowed to watch someone named Fred Roggin tell me all about the opening ceremony.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Fred Roggin is a Southern California institution

Toronto has damn good falafel, can't argue with the urine though!

Ott>T.dot in terms of falafel and shawarmas.

I don't even think the Leafs have that many ifs

[Lone_Prodigy]

I can't believe the Rangers traded Brassard. I'm sure Zibby is good but I don't think he's at that level yet. That's what capped teams do.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I could eat some Shawarma right now

 

[Cake Boss]

Underrating of Zibby here. He has a lot more to give. Still very young and a great tool box.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

This Ars Technica review of Deus Ex has my hype in an unhealthy place

 

[MetatronM]

I can't believe the Rangers traded Brassard. I'm sure Zibby is good but I don't think he's at that level yet. That's what capped teams do.

Zibanejad's numbers are very very similar to Brassard's, with more 20 goal seasons than Brassard has ever had, while being 5 years younger. But again, it's another gamble on youth above all else.

The Rangers are suddenly a very young team after this offseason.

McDonagh, Raanta = 27
Stepan, Jooris = 26
Kreider = 25
McIlrath, Lindberg, Fast, Hayes, Hrivik = 24
Zibanejad, Miller, Vesey, Jensen, Clendening = 23
Skjei = 22
Buchnevich = 21

That's 17 potential roster players (about 14 of whom are locks or near locks to make the opening night roster) aged 27 or under.

The only players 30 or older are Kevin Klein, Dan Girardi, Tanner Glass, Rick Nash, and Henrik Lundqvist. None are over 34 (and only one of them is over 32).
