  1. Every time Abdelkader is near the puck I get agitated. I don't think I've seen him make a legitimate play in months.
  2. Truckfighters always make me think of Dozer... if you aren't familiar, bet you'd like it.
  3. A+ on Truckfighters. That's a good record.

    What's worse than this team?

    My 12Us.

    Somewhere a human being put this list together

    That has gotta be bot generated based on jersey/t shirt sales, and Mrazek is attached to the Wings but selling Canes jerseys...

    Kronwall Officially Announces Retirement

    I'm a fan of the man... tough when you are expected to step into #5's shoes. Nothing in that career to complain about. Sad to see that era end (or does it not *really* end until Helm is gone? )

    "The Russian 5" Documentary

    Watched last night. Super, super good. Can buy/rent on Amazon video. Wife isn't into hockey and she was riveted... she also didn't know any of the Konstantinov stuff, so that was interesting to watch with her.

    WCF: San Jose Sharks vs. St Louis Blues

    Much rather see the Blues w/ the cup than either of the other teams... though I want that 2nd and Nyquist back. Weird situation to find myself kinda rooting for the Sharks this year.
  9. The Mark Stone trade puts some perspective on this, I think...
  10. Can't really compare these trades: ...and Jensen was not.
  11. And the only cure is the dry air of Calgary?

    Which Extra Forward Should Sit?

    Yeah, I don't know... I wonder if as a team you get more out of having a guy like Witkowski on the ice even if he isn't as likely to score as Frk... seems like he's a positive presence, and maybe they need more of that at the moment? Dunno.

    Henrik Zetterberg has Retired

    Yeah, to what we got for Tatar. A first rounder would be nice... but I'm somewhat skeptical. Guess it depends on his season - which will be a question mark w/ Z gone.

    Henrik Zetterberg has Retired

    Nobody will pay close to that much for a post-season rental.

    Dougie Hamilton

    Just read this, which was interesting: https://flamesnation.ca/2018/05/09/why-a-dougie-hamilton-trade-actually-makes-sense-for-the-flames/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Nyquist + Ericsson/Jensen/? + what would it take? And would Nyquist waive his NTC to go to Calgary? Probably not...

    Standings, the good the bad and the ugly

    Come on, unending string of one goal losses!

    Rumors Thread

    I'd say it's because Tampa and Washington aren't interested in a guy who might work out, they need ready to go, ready to win a cup.... that'd be my thoughts on why they didn't do conditionals - they are not looking to build the franchise, looking for immediate impact for the playoffs with a rental.

    I'm sure there is more than just McDonagh going back the other way... EDIT: Well... maybe I'm sure.

    This.
  21. This is about where I'm at. I'm fully prepared for the wings to be awful.
  22. Wondering if anyone knows when the new year Bauer stuff comes out. I need to grab a new pair of skates, and I want to get last year's models on clearance when the new ones hit... do online places usually discount the old when the new hit, or do they wait?
  23. Yeah... they have skates from two years ago... they don't have the model I am interested in, though - so hoping to nab last year's when they hit clearance.

    Seattle

    You are thinking of the Portland Man Buns.
  25. I guess the call was maybe 'good' in terms of the legal definition, but man did I dislike it. Had no bearing on the play whatsoever, he had the puck, it didn't lead immediately to a goal... I don't like it, 'right' or no.
