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

Actually that's kind of the opposite of what he's been in his career. his overall numbers are only a bit above average for a starter, but he is known for being very consistent. based on quality start % (which is a somewhat dubious stat, admittedly), he's been one of the top goalies iirc. hard to fully uncouple that from playing behind Anaheim's Defence tho. yesterday's game was just bad anyways, he let in at least 3 muffins.

My eye test is infallible

Every time Hampus Lindholm posts to his Instagram account, I just sit there frumpy like an angry child... Staring at his dumb life. Wearing those dumb shoes of his... Smiling that dumb smile... Doing stuff with his life THAT ISN'T BEING AT TRAINING CAMP OR PRESEASON FOR FUCKS SAKE LINDHOLM YOU FUCK

Lindholm and Rakell would rather starve in Sweden than play for Carlyle.

Well its not his fault Anaheim can't pay him what he's worth, he's easily one of the best young defencemen in the league and he should probably be getting something close to Ekblad money.

Says the guy who was drooling on his own dick, while it's hanging out of his pee hole from his leafs pajamas, while it thrusts on its own everytime some shitty marlies prospect got a shot against the sens, or had some zone time in a meaningless preseason game.

I would absolutely give him 6.5/yr for 6 years. IN A HEARTBEAT.

Call me Ducks peeps, you can take Trouba. He'll probably sign for 5.5aav or less, think of the savings!

The Rangers now have a team of 24, though that includes Oscar Lindberg, who is injured and will not be ready for the start of the season. I wouldn't be shocked if they put him on LTIR just to give them some flexibility, since his expected timeline didn't have him set to return until November most likely anyway. That will also give them some time to try some different looks in the bottom half of the lineup.

So assuming they don't drop a defenseman for cap reasons before next Thursday (which I don't think they'll have to), this is the opening night 23-man New York Rangers roster:

You have such a way with words. <3

Either way I've stood by it and I'm on record I fully understand and expect next level salt coming to the Leafs.

The Auston Matthews coverage is ridiculous but not unexpected. Poor kid is going to be hated by every Canadian team's fanbase before game 5. Last night was the perfect example:

"Leafs lose 6-1 but who cares it's about Auston Matthews he scored his first goal and not just on some weak ass goalie, oh no my friends it was on Carey Price...the greatest goalie in the world. Obviously this kid is one of the best. I won't put him above Connor McDavid...but he should give him a run I feel"

I don't even think the Leafs are making the playoffs this year, but the behavior surrounding this game is bizarre.
It's not really a big deal, just entertaining as hell watching them get caved in after Dopeys arrogant bullshit and delusion we've had to listen to all summer, like this:

it's amazing how salty habs gaf is after they won a meaningless preseason game

i guess it's because they know this will be the only time to celebrate a win against us this year ¯\_(&#12484;)_/¯
And everyone knows how Dopey would be planning the parade if he the Leafs won 6-1 and Marner had scored two goals, and how this means a lot even if it's just preseason.

This season is going to be fun if preseason salt is anything to go by.
It's been a long time since I could really get into a game, I'm ready for the season

Brandon Prust showing Nielsen and Marner some fighting strategy today at practice.

I'm not a fan of the concept of "enforcers" getting roster spots in this day and age but seeing a bust first round pick like Marner trying to change his game to say in the NHL is totally understandable.

Next Brandon Prust will take the kids to bars and show them how to pick up hookers and painkillers for cheap!

thank god for Brand Prust, helping the Canadiens again this year
