And on top of all of that, they're bottoming out in the year where they don't even get their own first round draft pick. It's the perfect storm of stupid.

Cool. Now that I think of it, I have seen the Lombardi over there all the time. I never really understood what that reaction was supposed to mean though.

How much freedom do you have when it comes to changing them? I get the feeling that you only get a specific list of images that you can use. It'd be great if the trophy could be changed here to a Sabres logo and to a Bills logo on TSW. I'm guessing that's not possible though.

We used to post the picture of that fat naked old guy sitting at a computer. I forget, was that supposed to be PA or chz?

Having three first round picks sure could come in handy...

I have never used it.

Is PK now a traitor to his nation?

I do wish they’d eliminate the numbers completely since it winds up as a d measuring contest. The system has grown on me over on TSW as a way of giving a quick nod to someone to acknowledge their comment. Sometimes I’ll ask a question that’s answered quickly and I like being able to grow a little nod in their direction without wasting time or space with a post. That said, I have no idea if there is any counter over here. I haven’t looked closely yet.

Should be a nice an easy fix since it's only the name plate. You won't have to deal with any adhesive behind the numbers.

Suspended from the league for two years due to his gambling issues?

I would have swore that John Blue wore it too, but apparently not. Maybe that was in preseason?

But is the goathead or is it a blue and gold from his limited emergency call up games?

A tribute video for a guy who played on a last place team for 3 years? Why don't we salute the guy standing over the deep fryer while we're at it?

It's a shame that no one has a Biron 00.

For inkman it has to be his calves.

Years from now he'll get a call from a collection agency with a bill for $7.50.

Based on his track record, isn't an almost trade actually more successful than an actual trade?

But the GM has seemly leaked about 3 different places where he was about to trade him. That's got to be great for the locker room.

It sounds like a polar opposite of anything we saw from Lehner. That definitely lends itself to the change in culture message that is running rampant.

Someone left a message on the vending machine that says "Vending machine owns me $1.25. -Stephanie office #xxx". Good luck with that. Actually, it's kind of funny that I say "someone" left it. We all know exactly who it is.

Everyone list them here so you can find easily find them after the upgrade. username: shrader password: ShutUpLiger

That's incredibly lame by BU standards, or most school's standards really. That may as well be a pre-game warmup.

I’m not really sure what the NHL is supposed to do here if they do create a policy, they’re not going to be able to apply it to Voynov without a major legal battle. This whole thing will blow over pretty quickly if no one signs him. I have a hard time picturing anyone knocking down that door.

Message boards aren't a great representation though. The view of this trade winds up being clouded by the stuff that came out on Friday. People were throwing around deals where we pretty much were landing every single prospect in the St. Louis system, along with Parayko and a 25 year old Brett Hull (just imagine the amount of pain we undo with that one). You read all that stuff and it's next to impossible not to think that the deal came up short. Those other board are far more likely to be aware of that chatter. I think it's become very obvious over the years here that this message board is not a good representation of the fanbase as a whole.

They have a boatload of money coming off the cap in two years. I haven't really explored to see if there's anything to that year or if it's just a coincidence. It's still a year short of Dahlin's second contract kicking in. I know no one wants to hear it, but that could be the year they're targeting for things to take off.
