NHL Off-Season 2016 |OT2| I Want off Marc Bergevin's Wild Ride.

what a time to be alive

I don't know whether to laugh or be ashamed.



I can't wait for historians 1000 years from now to keep record of our memes.
we'll be ded tho

Sure enough I bet there will be meme historians in like 50 years time, that are fascinated by memes and have great old books with memes that they only touch with white gloves and talk about their social significance.

"This meme was especially dank" *David Attenborough voice*


Rather than talking about how the swastika was reappropriated by the Nazis, they will talk about how a sad frog was turned into the hate symbol for the Trump emperorship
 
This is because team building is so important in the NHL.

Those firsts are a high price. Cap hit is a high price.

Cap + NTCs handed out like candy + high UFA age + game getting faster leading to a descending retiring age ultimately hurts roster movement

NHL teams are built with many stars, not just one.

I still think RFA offer sheets should not be matchable, have a lower compensation and be an auction where you don't know who is putting up the offers so it kind of works like a waiver wire.

Ha that would sink the NHL and make it a joke like the NBA.

Man Leafs Lunch suck donkey nipples. Andi sounds like a terrible leafs homer taken from HFBoards, and the her show includes Button and Poulin. Recipe for disaster, and it sounds like one too.

That's the NBA of the early 2000s really until the Celtics with Garnett, Pierce and Allen. Now it is all about acquiring multiple stars. I mean look at the Cavs, Warriors. Look at what the Heat had. What the Rox tried to do and what the Thunder had. All had/has multiple super stars. Teams are looking to still build super teams in the NBA. While the talent is spread much more evenly in the NHL, that is what makes it seem that way because there are more "stars" or players perceived as "stars"

I've hated Leafs lunch since Andi took over from Hayes. The drive home is much better though now with Overdrive. Ideally Hayes should still be doing Leafs lunch, just keep him on air from 12-7 lol.

He later said it was a stupid floater shot and one of the worst shots he ever took you stupid turds.

I choose to believe he's being modest, and the puck picked the top corner of the net, was so hard that it ripped through the mesh, continued on to shatter the glass and proceeded to blast a hole in the wall right through the arena. The puck was last spotted flying into orbit.
 
Hung out with some Canadians tonight. A couple from Victoria, a pair from Saskatoon, one from Calgary via Saskatchewan... not one from Toronto.

Was a great night!
 
Was Logan Brown expected to make the Sens out of camp? I didn't think so but maybe I'm wrong. It's not too weird for a guy to get cut from his first training camp at this stage.

Ahh. The preseason salt.

Can't wait for the season to start.

well maybe if you fucks stopped reporting everything Matthews and Marner do to the degree where we know what porn sites they browse, everyone would feel better about hockey

I bet if some kid in bangladesh said any word remotely close to "Matthews", TSN would have a breaking news cover story and they'd send Bob over there to make sure everything is alright
