[Unhandled Exception]

Our rookies are better than Acid's rookies. And of course Rantanen leaves a game against San Jose injured.

edit: Also the pre-season hasn't even started and we've already beat Dallas.

What? But we played the Rags yesterday, and it was wonderful:

Spoiler

the team led 4-2 after 2, then the kids played like true Dallas Stars in the 3rd, choked like true champs, and allowed two, went to OT, wasted a PP and ended up losing in shootouts

Stars twitter account didn't mention it therefore I consider it non-canon

Awesome. I think Big Mac needs one more year in the AHL. If he does super well down there this year, call him up

So here's the story on Andreas "Johnsson"

this saga is hilarious to me :lol

edit:

This would be interesting for the next world cup. people can complain about gimmick teams all they like, I just want to see hockey played at the highest level. that's what this is.

Where has Acid been? Haven't seen him post all off season.

Canada East vs. Canada West would probably have interesting rosters. Toews can actually be a Team Canada Captain lol.

I remember the same issue coming up for Nicklas Grossmann. I guess someone misspelled his name at some point pre-NHL as Grossman, and he didn't feel the need to point it out until like 2-3 years ago or so.

Canada East would be way too stacked :lol

I'd actually like maybe doing a "gym class" draft between two GMs, alternately selecting from the pool of players

Canada West wouldn't have too bad of a roster still. Going by the current WC roster:

Bouwmeester
Weber
Getzlaf
Toews
Price
Holtby

That's two D, two centres, two goalies to start off.

 

[Socreges]

Trying to get to the Doughnut Plant?

Hah, yep. Apparently there are more in the city so we'll make it eventually

I'm of the mind that women outside of your hometown/area are beautiful for the most part.

Manhattan women? Oh yeah.

I say the same about women in Vancouver compared to most other places I go.

Manhattan is special, though. Amsterdam, Vancouver, Madrid/Barcelona have been the most impressive. But Manhattan is on another level. It's like they don't let average-looking people into the area.*

All the Pretty Girls go to the City


* do it Marvie

He's on twitter. But I don't see him posting on GAF

Girls in slavic countries tho.

 

[Socreges]

Girls in slavian countries tho.

Gonna guess you mean Slavic. And yes. But their most beautiful get sent to Manhattan, I suspect.

Oh and Budapest too

Bruh

I've got to visit Montreal again soon, but Vancouver is insane for beautiful women.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Habs are interested in Shattenkirk.

I think if we're going to trade Beaulieu. Trade him to Anaheim for one of young Defenceman there.

Beaulieu and Emelin for Bieksa and Lindholm

 

[zroid]

Lol I don't think Anaheim is going to trade a D-man for another D-man...

and they're probably not gonna trade Lindholm at all. Vatanen and Fowler maybe.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Lol I don't think Anaheim is going to trade a D-man for another D-man...

and they're probably not gonna trade Lindholm at all. Vatanen and Fowler maybe.

I'll take Vatanen or Fowler. As long as they take Emelin with them

I'll gladly take Bieksa for Emelin

 

[zroid]

the problem is they're kinda screwed right now for the expansion draft unless they unload D-men. their D depth is ridiculous so they can easily afford to trade one away and they obviously don't want to add another D-man whom they'd have to protect. they want Forwards.

@markhmasters

Eichel has bad memories from world juniors in Montreal where he says his family was the target of insults around the city

wut

Will the Habs / Sens scrimmage be on Leafs TV / Online today?

Hoo boy Sergachev 🔥

edit: and then a fantastic play by Logan Brown for a Frankie Perron goal

 

[Red_Man]

Sergachev with a great hip check and beautiful rush and feed for the goal. I don't really think he can stick this year, but I'm expecting them to keep him up for his 9 game max anyways.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Francis Perron is going to be a pain in the ass like Pageau

Fucking Senators

Damn you Cake Boss

 

[Marvie_3]

wut

GO BACK HOME TO AMERICA WHERE YOU MAKE IT SO OUR COUNTRY DOESNT HAVE TO SPEND AS HIGH OF A PERCENT OF ITS GDP ON DEFENSE

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Sergachev setting up Audette again

Audette reminds me of Gallagher or like his Dad.

 

[Cake Boss]

You guys have the link to the stream?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

One of SNES players took a run at Sergachev

Fucking Sens. I hope you assholes get moved to Quebec City

 

[Red_Man]

Some Sens goon running Sergachev from behind and now he's heading to the dressing room, shocking.

 

[zroid]

Retaliation is obviously not acceptable, but I'm pretty sure Sergachev ran one of the Sens a few minutes earlier as well. Game's gotten way chippy.

lol get your soft ass players off the ice. This aint a ballerina.

Typical habs player, soft as fuck and explodes when physical contact is made.

[Red_Man]

Sergachev with an upper body injury, apparently this Dunn guy is known for being a goon, typical Senator.

 

[imBask]

Snes are the new Bruins, except Boston actually looks like a nice place unlike Shittawa

 

[Cake Boss]

4 assists for Chabotsson.

Fuck I can't wait for the pre season.

Edit: Look at these people. So oblivious to their own shitty team and how it changed in the past years with getting more scrubs and goons. Weber for Subban for instance and signing Shaw. Yeah those guys are nice soft habs players that we all love.

 

[zroid]

Snes are rolling

 

[Cake Boss]

Is Price playing in the rookie tournament?

 

[zroid]

jeez why are these kids playing so dirty. chill the fuck out.

Final Point Totals for Habs Rookies

Scherbak, Big Mac, Lehkonen, Sergachev, Bitten,Johnston and Addison were the guys that stood out for me

 

[imBask]

glad to see that DarkHorseJuulsen is putting in work

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I can see Juulsen making the team in a few years.

 

[lamaroo]

So how about that beer

In Squamish tonight, heading back to Van Monday, so Monday or Tuesday night?

I think I'll be in Maple Ridge Wednesday and Thursday night.

 

[ElephantShell]

Squamish is beeaauutiful. Whenever I go there I don't want to leave.
