Just thought I would drop in to see if we finally won one. Nope. See y'all later.

No one WANTS to play for a 20 win team, but if it's a choice between that and not playing at all, guys like Z would choose to play, and I would gladly watch.

New NHL season starts today. Post your predictions. Awards, trophies, playoffs, whatever. Have fun with it.

I am beginning to think that Abby liked dated your Mom or slept with your GF or something.

Over 20% of the teams in the NHL are Canadian based. By that percentage, 3-4 Canadian franchises should make the playoffs each year, one should make the Finals every 2-3 ears and win the Cup every 5. Is it as bad as the meme I posted? No. But it's not much better.

Twinsies!

NAtural Selection. There's a reason why those guys aren't around anymore.

The Maple Leaves begin their 2nd half century without a Stanley Cup. The Canadian franchises make it a quarter century Stanley Cup drought.

Yes......I can.

#3 for Marcel Pronovost. 15 years with the Wings, 8 Stanley Cups (5 as a player, 3 as a scout), HHOF. Over 65 years employed in professional hockey .What more do you need on your resume? Should have done it before he died in 2015.

Gotta spread them out. Sell more tickets.

Or these real ones. Toronto Maple Leafs acquire Date Detroit Red Wings acquire 1998 4th round pick (#87-Alexei Ponikarovsky) March 24, 1998 Jamie Macoun Toronto Maple Leafs acquire Date Detroit Red Wings acquire future considerations March 18, 1997 Larry Murphy

What if I don't like coney dogs?

It's the millenials. They want everything in one. It's like smartphones: music, phone, texting, web surfing, photography, games, etc. It's not enough to go to LCA just for one thing (the game). You have to include more than that or they won't go. Going to LCA just to see a hockey game would be like using your phone....as a phone.

So they can have a fancy pregame ceremony and fill all those red or black empty seats. McIlrath wears 44 now?

I'll take things Custer never said for $1000 Alex.

I heard the tough part is finding Nemo's.

It CAN be voided this summer as the team is unlikely to qualify for the playoffs, but is unlikely to be traded with 2 years left at 3.85 AAV. My guess is the team voids the NTC the summer of 2020 (assuming they don't make the playoffs or his TOI) and try to trade him the last year of his deal. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/justin-abdelkader SEASON CLAUSE CAP HIT AAV P.

Even then it's a modified NTC and he will still have 3 years at 4.25 AAV left on his contract. Not much interest likely. I also he think he'll be wearing an "A" then, so I don't think he will traded, period. Will likely end his career in Detroit. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/frans-nielsen SEASON CLAUSE CAP HIT AAV P. BONUSES S.

But at 34 yo, it's highly unlikely any other team will want to absorb his 4 years left at 5.25 AAV. By the time the end of his contract comes near, he'll be 36-37 yo.

DD won't be traded this year or next, full NTC. Modified NTC kicks in the last season and a half of is deal. I could see there being interest then, but the Wings would have to absorb some salary. Definitely something to consider since the cap hell will have passed, but at that point he will possibly be the only vet on the blue line, so I doubt it. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/trevor-daley SEASON CLAUSE CAP HIT AAV P.

And with most of this season's salary paid by then, and only 2.2 mil in actual salary next year, he could prove to be a good value. My guess is he gets traded before the 2019-20 season. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/gustav-nyquist SEASON CLAUSE CAP HIT AAV P. BONUSES S.

Pizza is a pie, so you would kick him in his pie hole.

Looks like the poor Arizona kid can't take the Toronto weather. He's wearing a coat in every picture.

1. Howard will be good, but not elite. LGW will call him average and demand he be traded. The team will get worse. 2. Fire Holland threads will start before the end of the year. Fire Blashill threads by the end of the month. 3.The kids will struggle and LGW will want them to be traded "while they still have value". 4. LGW will cry about Daley, DD, Kronwall, Green, and E being on the defense after Hronek, Sulak, and Hicketts get sent down even tho they're all better than the kids. 5. LGW will continue to whine about Abby and his salary even tho he is contributing well within middle 6 F statistics. 6. LGW will continue to hate on Helm and slobber all over AA, even tho they both will have trouble finishing on breakaways, just because AA is younger and cheaper. 7.LGW will demand Zadina be brought up before he is ready because the team is losing and he will solve all the team's problems. 8. Unrealistic posts about trading away half the team and acquiring a half dozen 1st round picks will appear before Thanksgiving. 9. Fantasy rosters that will include Jack Hughes and any number of elite NHL players that will be acquired thru trading away only aging depth players will become popular. 10. "He's Lazy and He Sucks" will continue to be a thing.

Don't Drink and Book.
