Thought this was a bit much when I heard it yesterday, and still think that. And people going after the Pegula kids on social is just DAF as well.
so I guess Friedman said yesterday TPegs is sick of the losing and Bots may be on the hot seat. Hmm. Drury?
Battle of Alberta was good game, even if I did watch it in 30 minutes this morning!
People need to get over themselves. It's just a game. No one shot your dog. I skimmed through the clip because I can only stand so much of that type of lunacy, but it sounded a bit like a performance to me. Now it's posted online and in some places people have dug up the kid's twitter account. Mission accomplished.

Start Johansson IMMEDIATELY! No need to just defer to spaz attack Hutton because of some arcane hierarchy. Screw that BS deference to the lovable veteran. Hutton sucks. Johansson can’t be worse, so let him start gaining experience immediately. There’s only one way to know if the moment is too big for him and that’s to place him in the moment.He should definitely get a good number of games while up here. I can live with Hutton getting the next game but then Johansson getting the second one. If he's up to the task, the playing time will snowball from there.

15 minutes ago, BillsFan4 said:I was wondering if they’d call up Hammond or Johansson. Johansson has been the better goalie and has definitely earned it. The only reason I thought they might call up Hammond is due to his NHL experience.
Well... here’s to hoping that Johansson goes on some crazy “Hamburglar” type run (like the other Amerks goalie, Andrew Hammond, did during his rookie season in Ottawa)
I don't think they hesitated for even a second when making that callup. Hammond only gets it if it's a day or two.

He was here for one season, spending the entire year on IR. Was there really all that much opportunity to give him more and meaningful time in that following training camp?

follow up during the Super Bowl
Or not. Apparently they decided to pump the breaks due to Kobe Bryant.

I think this may be the one that makes me cringe the most, given that it is never used properly.

Let's face it, the funeral is far more for you and any other family/friends who would be there than it is your father. As taro said, if you want to be there, go.
Sorry for your loss.

I'm not sure I want to know how Hannah Davis qualified as pitcher.

Can we please just cut to the chase already and create the "shoot yourself in the head" challenge? The herd could use a good thinning.

No, here's a hint: When he became famous he looked drastically different than he does in this pic.
From his wiki:
In 1984, he was back to 265 pounds and was Second-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler. He tied his career high of 14½ sacks.
So in his wiki it says he recorded 14.5 sacks in 1980, but the league didn't officially track them until 1982. This is interesting. I kind of want to figure it out, but I'm sure it'll wind up being the typical wikipedia error.

Winner, winner chicken dinner.
Where's that second season with 14.5 sacks?

damn, this team even sucks off the ice
Apparently the "Robitalle" picture is not from this season. I did some digging over on sabrespace and the board ads in that picture do not match anything from this season. So someone's being a bit disingenuous trying to pin both of those pictures as one act. The Andreychuk typo is bad, but let's face it, it's not the first or the last time that we'll see a screwed up name plate in any of the pro sports. It's bad, but it's not "this organization is inept" bad. The internet is littered with countless examples from over the years.
My guess is the next one we'll see is "they poured me a blue instead of a blue light, this organization sucks!"

I think this is officially the end of the line for me. I don't play enough anymore, there aren't any currently ongoing series that I'm interested, so it's not worth the money to me anymore. The backward compatibility is nice (if they don't drop it last second like they did with the last few), but I have a 2,3 and 4 in my house, so I can already play any of the old stuff.

Without reading the story, I'm just going to assume yes.

Actually, though teams traditionally have chosen to keep 14F and 7D on their roster, a lot of teams have been switching to 13/8 because it makes it a lot more sense to run 8 D in practice (having a pair running through drills and another ready to run at each end and only having to roll 1 spare F through the lines) than to only have 7 and either mix & match pairs w/ 2 Fs to roll through the 4 lines or slide a F back onto a pairing. It is unusual though to have the 7 & 8 NHL caliber D men in/ close to their prime rather than guys that are either tweeners or long in the tooth on the back side of their career. (Yeah, Bogo kind of fits that latter description but he is still on his 1st non-ELC/bridge contract.)
How many actually carry the full 23 though? It's always seemed to me like most teams will go with 22, not have a 3rd guy rot away in the pressbox, all while banking a little extra cap space. I would look at rosters right now, but the break makes that pointless.
12 hours ago, Taro T said:Good point on the goalie. A true starter that could relegate Ullmark to backup duty could have them in the playoffs all by himself.
Just don't know that with their cap troubles (and bringing in a top tier goalie coach) that a true starter was viable get in the off-season and there aren't any of those on the market at present. A good backup (possibly even Johansson if they were to get lucky) could be obtainable now.
I'd say Ullmark is the kind of guy who could work well in a platoon. Based on his career, Hutton should be too, which is what they were hoping for and it really wasn't all that unreasonable. But why has this guy fallen off a cliff? Maybe it's just age, but there really isn't all that much wear on those tires.

Yzerman is one of the best talent assessors in the game. He was instrumental in putting together cup winning teams in Detroit and Tampa. At last year's draft after moving on to running the Detroit organization he was asked how he was going to restore Detroit back to hockey relevancy. He succinctly told the interviewer that there was nothing magical about his strategy. He simply said: Draft and develop. And then he walked away.
If I were a recently fired coach seeking future employment I would have no hesitancy going to an organization headed by a proven GM who knows what it takes to build a winner.
Detroit won the Cup in his second year in their front office. Does he really get all that much credit for that? Holland had been running the show for so long and most of the pieces were already in place. He then joined the Lightning in 2010. They won the Cup in 2004.
But yeah, I realize what you're trying to say. He may very well be the guy who can right that ship, but it's not going to happen over night. They're in a far worse position than the team he inherited in Tampa. That team already had many of their key pieces including Stamkos, Hedman, and the older but still useful guys like St. Louis and Lecavalier. He has nothing of the sort in Detroit. I'll also be curious to see if he is able to sign guys to anywhere near as cap friendly contracts now that he has to deal with a state income tax again and a far less desirable location.
He may very well get the job done, but I don't think he's the guaranteed home run GM signing that some make him out to be.

I'd take the call from Yzerman.
They're in pretty rough shape. I'd be worried about that being a team that is two coaching hires away.

Right? lol That would be awesome.
But I don’t think he will last that long. If they came into the league next season I feel like it would be a lock. But they don’t start playing until 2021/22 season. I can’t imagine another tram not hiring Gallant before then, unless he decides to wait for Seattle or something (they’d have to make him a ridiculous offer I’d think).
I just don't want him back in the east. I could see New Jersey going after him (if they were smart), but it could hurt them not having their long term GM in place right now. They kind of have to hire a GM first, unless they’re planning on naming Tom Fitzgerald full time GM.
I can't imagine there's anything that could stop Seattle from hiring him and putting him on the payroll right now. Also, I don't know how much time was left on his contract, but as of today he's being paid to sit on the couch. He might enjoy the down time and be content with waiting. Hynes and DeBoer didn't, but everyone's different.
I guess it depends on which job becomes available. If someone like Ottawa or Detroit comes calling, I'm letting that call go to voice mail.

And now watch as Gallant winds up being the head coach in Seattle.

Based on this post, I'm just going to assume that someone finally posted a picture of Peter Frampton.
