    9 (NINE!) player trade involving Phanuef

    happy for Phaneuf, he finally gets out of this crazy market and can solely focus on hockey. Guy is going to do well on their second pairing

    Byfuglien resigns with Jets - 5 years/$38 million

    Thank god this is over, congratulations nice contract but glad the Wings aren't the ones paying it

    Should the Red Wings Trade for Byfuglien?

    Exactly the team will regret this contract in no time, but hey if some team wants to offer him 7x7 go for it. Maybe Trouba becomes available that way because the Jets by all indications are run like a budget team by Chipman.

    New NHL website design....

    Older articles, news - before all I needed to do was to go to page 10 and find the oldest news in the DB now this would take me hours or endless "load more" pressing not going to do that Shows 4 freaking clicks to find stuff like Leafs Lunch - that's just bad design could have been easily avoided with mouseover menus if I'm looking for a player I hae to go through stupid side scrolling, same goes for the standings section ---> not going to do that and even worse before the new layout I knew the hockey-section would only have information about hockey but if I click on the Radio, show stuff I'm also "!greeted with useless non hockey-stuff" And still the NHL managed - to get this back on topic - to make their site worse that's how bad the new design is.

    Barclays CEO - Watch on your phone if you don't like obstructed vi

    This is the same guy, who took 800 seats in Florida painted them red and called it the "Panthers club red" section charging premium prices for it, he didn't care the least if some people where season ticket holder in that section before or anything else. He is full of himself, doesn't understand hockey nor his customers, can't believe the Isles hired this guy.

    Slow, can't find anything, have to scroll to find older articles because they've got rid of the page 1,2,3 option oh and of course more clicks than ever to find the important stuff. Glad the NHL followed suit with an even worse cheap mobile first site

    New NHL website design....

    Wrong A bad design is a bad design no way around it, TSN has had their new site for some time now and it's still a mess. NHL blew it simple as that

    Flyers/Penguins Winter Classic 2011....I mean 2017

    Well if it's a usual game Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia is the last real rivalry and one of the few games in the NHL that doesn't make you fall aseelp

    Flyers/Penguins Winter Classic 2011....I mean 2017

    They should rename it the been there done that classic. Also wth NHL? The Leafs are celebrating their 100 birthday next year so not giving it to them is disgusting after all they are one of the teams responsible for keeping a lot of teams alive.That being said what makes the NHL think rehashing teams is going to fix the destroyed format? Not even the last real rivalry in hockey will do much..I mean Montreal Boston 2 original 6 teams couldn't save that event.. Can't wait for the 2018 wc between Toews and Ovechkin

    Dennis Wideman Suspended 20 Games

    according to the concussion protocol this should not have been his decision because the team doctors are deciding over concussions and the quiet rooms.So if that all is true Calgary hasn't followed the protocol and Wiseman was likely mentally out of it, So this could end in different ways. But yeah the story is weird but my point stands 20 games is a lot of time and money

    Dennis Wideman Suspended 20 Games

    As trhey should, if he was really concussed this needs to be lowered 20 games is just insane.

    Should the Red Wings Trade for Byfuglien?

    This will be the asking price for each one...so first, prospect, 2 for Buff and if people want Ladd too the same thing. Which even for both would be ridiculous because they are rentals. Do I think GMS are aware of it? For sure do I think they'll still give him a monster contract? Of course.

    Should the Red Wings Trade for Byfuglien?

    Weiss had a serious 6 months long injury so I don't know what Holland thought this would be a good idea Zidlicky worked out ok I think It's the same every year people are getting all hyped up about some potential available names and then they either get re-signed or traded for ridiculous prices. I'm sure the Jets will ask for a first + prospect + maybe a 2nd for Ladd and Buff - which is way too much for a pure ~ 2 months rental.

    Should the Red Wings Trade for Byfuglien?

    Giving Goose for any rental would be a bad idea, period. The training thing is simple logic: the older you get the harder you need to train to stay in shape, if you don't do it you'll fall behind. I'll laugh hard at whichever team signs him for anything more than 3 years.

    Should the Red Wings Trade for Byfuglien?

    There is a difference between being big/huge and fat. i.e. Chara is the biggest boy in the NHL but that guy is just lean and all muscle. It doesn't even matter what I think I'm sure some crazy team will give Buff what he wants and regret it, because once the decline will set in it won't be pretty and the guy would be unmovable with such a huge contract.
  17. frankgrimes

    Should the Red Wings Trade for Byfuglien?

    he is fat, not exactly in the best shape and will command a salary north of 7 million over 7 years ...which given his dedication to the game will look like an albatross contract in 2 years. Just look at the decline of players that don't take fitness and nutrition seriously and then think about an almost 280 guy, who will be 31 soon.I'm a huge fan of Goose but if the Wings trade him it better not be for a rental because I don't think there is anyone other than Mantha who could replace his production playing for the marines right now

    Players Tribune: John Scott A Guy Like me

    Honestly I think most NHLers are pretty nice guys to hang out with but the thing with enforcers is this, they are also very smart: Scott has an engeering degree, Westgarth succesfully finished Princeton, The Grim Reaper is a lawyer, wouldn't surprise me if Gazdic and Reeves would be Harvard finishers. as far as changing the ip it's so simple: either use a Proxy or even better a VPN client I'm not getting my hopes up, but if were the GM guys like Scott, Prust would NOT play in the AHL right now

    New NHL website design....

    The first word that came to mind was something like Wordpress with an NHL skin. this thing is even worse than the re designed TSN one because I looks so cheap unreal at least TSN has some nice elements but boy did the NHL screw up here. Not that I visited that site often but now I can't find anything and who in his right mind thought iframe like site scrolling would be a good idea? honestly create one site designed for Desktops and one minimalistic

    Jimmy Howard's Stadium Series mask

    Absolutely amazing design, some goalies really like to go over the top with their design but for whatever reason Howard hardly has any bad design.

    Players Tribune: John Scott A Guy Like me

    Exactly Scott did nothing wrong and he is probably the only guy who really enjoys playing there. As a "star" player I would make sure he gets to score some goals and win the car for him this might be the time of his NHL life. I just find it very easy to relate to such a down-to-earth against all odds kind of guy, who not only happens to be a tremendous athlete but also a very smart man.

    especially since most haven't even played some higher level juniors which Scott obvously has
