No different than the 'Minnesota' Wild or 'Florida' Panthers. I wonder how the uniforms are going to look.

  3. Since silly advice is being given, how about "Children Must Trust Strangers With Candy" and "Children Must Experience Thrill of Sticking Forks Into Outlets".

    Former Wings

    I always pick McDonagh in Fantasy Hockey. He's always a steady option (around 35-40 assists, 40 PIMS, 15 PP points, +19), but he's been slipping the past two seasons. I had some hope that maybe Smith would get the pairing with him and it he would push McDonagh with his youth. The downside is Brendan likes to jump into the play, which McDonagh does as well, but you can't have both guys on your D-pair jump in on offense. So I'm not exactly sure where Brendan ends up in their pairings.

  9. Kevin Bieksa fools Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes as 'Shovelboy' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEhKCq8dQZo I thought it was pretty hilarious. Love the "Beep, beep Coyotes!" line he uses a couple times

  14. Very disappointing. You signed your contract, Pavel. Only one year remaining. You're a classy guy. Time to step up and fulfill your contract.

    Teams you didn't expect to still be winless

    Shocked at Pittsburgh. I really thought they'd be on fire right out of the gate, but boy oh boy was I wrong. Sid has 0 points and Flower is looking shaky.

    Todd Nelson to be Griffins new coach

    Woo hoo! My boy Nelly (insert obligatory rapper image) will be awesome at his job. He has already spent years in Grand Rapids, although it was with Ottawa's farm team. He's the first ever pick of the Griffins, so he's come full circle. So happy to hear this. Great guy, smart hockey player, Way to go Todd!

    TSN Play of the Year

    I have a dozen tabs running this. Decent script. As a programmer of 20+ years, I love this kind of stuff. So far a 6% (-3 / +3) swing in Gus' direction in just about 30 mins. We're making progress now!
