That's the first time I've ever seen Carolina listed as a team that is really struggling, by a wide margin even. Looking through the last few years of attendance, this was the only weak season. I'd think the league would be far more worried about other situations before theirs.

What did the coaches do when they suspected Sapp was beating up hookers?

Have you ever actually seen Bautista and Eichel in the same room?

You want to know the best part about the whole rush to buy the jersey? It will wind up on back order for a month or two anyway.

Bylsma spent time with him in Kelowna this past season and now he's here. Interesting.

Just remember that he will finish his full four years at Harvard. Short of the very rare occasion, you don't pay to go to school there and not see it through.

Agreed. Best post on here in a while.

Man, I thought you had yours already. Oh well, have a fun with the crazy week you're in for this week.

So they do it a bit different now and don't bring all the ELC guys anymore, huh? I guess Ristolainen and Zemgus won't have to go the Ennis route and have to go to about 85 of these camps over the course of their careers.

I'll be curious to see how much time he gets. I don't get the impression that he's a guy that will be on the fast track to the NHL. I like your suggestion there that he wants up being a frequent call up by year two, but not a full time guy.

Not that it matters too much since he'll be earning the AHL level of his contract for the first couple years when he does turn pro. He'll need some seasoning just like most.

Isn't that an awfully quick turnaround for Nintendo? The Wii U hasn't been out very long. They must be scrambling for ideas, trying to regain relevance in the console market.

I haven't been to a game in a while now. Does Sabretooth still play that drum? Semin could fit in there.

For some reason I thought Hohmann was a junior. I guess they're getting the band back together.

I'm really not trying to be a dick here, but you really need to cite that stuff.

Today is my nephews 5th birthday and it's about to become my niece's 0th.

Shouldn't you be citing these? Anyway, as for the signing, we will see how it goes until he's injured after week 2.

Are we picking up ever letter wearer from Utica?

TSN has him as pleading no contest.

Screw you, Calgary!

I'm calling it right now, Lady Byng winner.

These picks could wind up being good ammo for deadline deals in March if the team is in playoff contention. I'm not against letting one of the kids like McCabe get his feet wet at the NHL level early in the season, only to bulk up the position later.

Have you officially become self-aware?

I gave my reasoning. Cruise was probably a strong word, but I think they'll still be right up at the top. They've certainly got an inside track at one of the guaranteed playoff slots from finished in the top 3.

Smell, maybe I should explain why I said they are BS. Those tweets come across as complete ramblings. They're just making stuff up. You basically hinted at that with your blue collar comments. They picked a bad name and now they're spinning their tires trying to explain it.
