Akakabuto 1,830 Report post Posted October 26, 2023 What are you guys thinking about the owners(seemingly) pushing for a decentralized draft? I like everybody sitting down at the tables and the cameras following managers around to see who's talking to who. Also, didn't the Covid-draft take forever?

bIueadams 776 Report post Posted October 26, 2023 18 minutes ago, Akakabuto said: Everybody calling out the hypocrisy of the league having betting companies as sponsors. I don't see it, I think you take money from Draft Kings and still have strict rules on gambling for the players and staff. What is there to talk about? Playing with a minor injury or recovering from an injury with two points in six games and still taking too many penalties. All to be expected. BET ON THE GAMES YOU CATTLE. BET ALL THE TIME. BET ALL YOUR MONEY. DO IT. BET. BET BET. >player not under contract bets NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT DO THAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Save some money fellow owners....grrrrr NHL does the draft lottery crap like a 3 monte game, BUT, the draft is awesome. I love seeing all the tables lined up and the GM's strolling up to make their picks. NHL wants the game to grow, yet they cut themselves off at the knees with stupid decisions.

He said b4 I could even give my opinion that it looked intentional to him. I have to agree. The leg motion he makes doesnt look like part of the fall at all. But then also one of the dead kids teammates came out and stood up for the kicker saying it was an accident and he shouldnt be getting the hate. I cant be 100% one way or the other, but it definately looks shady to me. Not sure I could convict him, but I definately wouldnt be sticking up for him either, especially if he killed my teammate. 1 Motor City Mullets reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,035 Report post Posted November 1, 2023 So Hronek has 8 points in 9 games in Vancouver being on the top pair with Hughes. Is he going to be a 70 pt. guy now that he's out of Detroit? They also have not allowed a 5 on 5 goal yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least they get to decide after the lottery. Assuming they just get better like the Wings and Sabres, I'd have to believe it will be a 2026 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
