First unless your last name is ilitch the only # that matters is cap hit cuz that is what effects team building.  Now to address the " floating".  I'll agree I sometimes see mule not where he could be/ should be and I do see it as a lack of effort but for every mule float I see a cleary fall or a kronner bad clear so yeah his game isn't perfect but no one whos last name isn't  lidstrom is.

Good rule of thumb is always take an octopus everywhere. Better to have one and not need it than find yourself thinking, "Damn, I wish I had that octopus".

I just love seeing that big green SIGNED banner in the forums.

Datsyuk is the highest paid 4th line center this league has ever seen

Holland is a broken record.  
 
 
"The powerplay is our enforcer"
 
"We like our team"
 
"Getting our injured guys back is our deadline addition"
 
"Our prospects are overripe in the minors"

The defense was mainly good because of Abdelkader and Cleary. The way they create space for the d-men is truly a joy to watch. Hope Babcock starts double-shifting them, with the legs and hearts they have 30-35 minutes per game shouldn't be a problem.

 

Rumour has it Murph uses them personally to create space for him to get hot dogs between periods too

That is cheating, plain and simple.  It's not a cagey veteran move, it's cheating.


Edit:  Don't get me wrong; it would not have changed anything.  Nashville had their way with us.  They were able to score whenever they needed to, and able to stalemate our (n)offense.

Seriously people,what did Babs suppose to do,score more then once on 40 freaking shots?

Besides,he won it with Loungo,so I trust him  

Half the posters on this board could have 'coached' that team and come away with the gold medal.

My first try at a GIF, haha I know it's awful I had to do it though

Dunno why it takes soo long to refresh edit: fixed

Couldnt decide on how i wanted this i guess..

This is Photoshop War, not a Microsoft Paint Doodle Competition
TRY HARDER!

Lebda's mom might until she realizes that he plays for the other irrelevant team in the Central.







Sorry PredsFanintheBayouState.  I have a nasty sense of humour.  Nothing personal against you.

Sucks to be the Blue Jackets. Oilers definitely building the same way Pittsburgh did, and its a bit irritating to watch. Play s***ty enough for 3 years, and you'll be a contender in 5 years (unless you have equally s***ty lottery luck ). I don't know what the alternative is, but kind of silly to think that the worst teams in the league - which ironically are there in the first place due to poor drafting and development - will always have a brighter future than bubble teams who compete and tread water.

Could the lottery be expanded, with similar scaling of odds, to include teams finishing 30-20 in points? That way, at least a bubble team that had a good showing, like Colorado or Winnipeg, can have a slim shot at obtaining a franchise-changing player that could propel them from mediocrity to contention in a single year, instead of allowing a team like Pittsburgh or Edmonton to go belly up for a half-decade, stockpile high picks, and be granted the 180 degree turnaround by default.
