I don't know, I think those words hammered home his point appropriately. It was a very blunt way of letting people know that this garbage doesn't need to flood every single thread.
-
I can't wait for the reports stating that Babcock and Chiarelli are scheduling a meeting by the tree in Edmonton.
-
Bull's asterisks

:w00t: I guess I floated out a hanging curve ball there.

There's a definite trend in the NHL right now towards the up and coming GM, or promoting those guys who have been assistant GMs for years. Take a look at all of the recent hires. Outside of Rutherford in Pittsburgh and now the Chiarelli move, they've essentially all been first timers. And even Rutherford is a transitional GM while Boterill and co. gain more experience.

And if he's Lindros, you encase his head in bubble wrap.
-
I've seen that before. That moment where the two players realize exactly what is going on is almost exactly like your post. You instantly go from wanting to kill each other to being best friends.
-
You might be onto something there if the awareness of the concussion issues went back nearly 20 years. As eleven has been saying in this thread, the interference is nothing new and they've been letting it go for ages now.
-
Has there much talk about Black around here lately? I really haven't noticed much other than the occasional post taking a shot at him. He seems mostly off the radar at this point.
-
So it's now the Seinfeld approach to columns, wring about nothing?
-
Ok, I finally got around to reading it. Why does a column that is nothing more than a petty feud between the Snews and the team make it to print? I can't imagine why they would think people want to read this tripe.

Extra props to you if you go the extra distance and carve a tally of your victims into your skin.
-
And then you probably have a smart phone and probably another computer or tablet at home. That's a ton of reading options if you really need them.

Some players are exempt from homerism, such as Eichel for me. MacKinnon is one of them. That said, "best ever" is far too subjective.
-
I'm pretty sure PA will go with a Betty Page reference instead.
-
I'll clue you in on something. We have a running joke where PA is incredibly old. I'm pretty sure he built Stonehenge.
-
All I can picture right now is Homer Simpson's three hair comb over.

This post just goes to show that people as a whole won't remember the tanking at the end of the day. The Penguins didn't tank to get any of those guys. They tanked to get Lemieux... who you did not mention at all. Thank you. I really haven't noticed that the year end press conference is the universal approach either. But anyway, after a year like this one, isn't the press conference announcing the firing of the coach exactly that?
-
Did you see the history of the Hornets name while you were looking at that? Wait, why am I talking about bouncyball?
-
Well actually...
-
And the St. Louis one is essentially meaningless at this point. It now unofficially belongs to Winnipeg.
-
I'll chime in on Hanifin. BCs top guys do tend to stick around for a few years. They've had a lot of highly regarded 1st round guys, granted none as high as Hanifiin will go, and they tend to stick around for a few years. Combine that with the more steep learning curve for a defenseman and it does seem like a good chance that he'll stay at BC.
-
Your comment actually hints a bit towards a big part of their approach over the years though. They've shipped a lot of these guys away, trying to supplement the Crosby/Malkin/Letang core.
-
Kroenke has the Nuggets (for now). I want to say Leonsis owns the Wizards, but don't quote me on that one. I'm not sure if there are any others. edit: Does MLSE own the Raptors too?
-
As long as they don't screw it up like it seems Brooklyn is about to. I haven't seen anything about it in a while now, but if they really aren't going to have seats behind one of the nets, it will look really bad.
