Having played Non-Professional Co-Ed Beer league level hockey as a goalie for many years, I can honestly say those kinds of break away type shots are the worst to try and defend. Coming in so slowly like that and up close, you try to wait them out and stay up, but because they are coming in so slow, if you start to make your move and they see it they can just hang on and fake you out. The only ones I hate more are the shots when you fully expect them to shoot high and the plucks just seems like it was glued to the ice and slides in

That price doesn't seem too bad depending on the house type and size Also depends on how many windows and what type of replacements going in. An older 2-storey 2,000 sqft house with a bunch of odd shape (custom) windows could drive up the cost. The only problem I found with buying the material yourself is that many of the better reno companies don't want to come out and just do the install work. They will only install if your are buying through them because they won't warranty the work if its not what they normally would use. A few years ago I purchased new exterior doors for my front and side from a local box store, they wanted almost $1,000 each to install $300 doors. I figured I would do it myself. When I started thinking about doing it I realized I didn't want to do it myself since my house is block walls with stucco and I wasn't sure about how to flash everything afterwards. The doors are in my garage still because everyone place we called said they would only install whats purchased from them, so you end up having to try and find a 'Jack of all trades' handyman to do it

And Quebec City will continue to sit around waiting for their chance at another team.

He stood out on the one goal just standing around looking lost in front of Anderson

To look at this on the bright side, they are keeping Edmonton a little bit further away from somehow magically winning the Bedard sweepstakes.......

But will the pick actually be that much better?

I'm still surprised to see all the Oilers jerseys in the rink Didn't realize they had so many fans around this area

You don't want to upset chemistry....... And they probably still need some more time to review the players they have now

Flames, The OG Atlanta Team..... Arizona apparently has a long 'No Trade clause' (No relocation) agreement in the NHL I believe preventing them from moving

But making trades hurts chemistry, and it would upset the locker room because it shows the front office dowsnt have confidence in the current roster You also don't want to make the playoffs if your not a cup favorite....... (Or atleast so I have read in multiple places)

Why improve the team now when you can improve the team 5 years from now Everyone knows that its a waste to make the playoffs unless your the cup favorite

Who needs a cup when Adams can go for a 'Bing' (does it officially say that only players can be given that award? And you know what they always say 'Nice Guys finish First!"

Location wise, yes, they are similar and can be found on most corners We have about 8-9 of them here. At one point we had 3 on one street (in about a 1 mile radius) Starbucks here would be considered more of a Higher end coffee shop, quality wise they are more like Canadas version of Duncan Donuts

I believe this is the 3rd year in a row the Leafs have traded for a team's captain at the deadline Foligno from the Blue Jackets Giordano from the Kraken O'Reilly from the Blues It's worked so well for them so far.......

It's worked so well missing the playoffs and collecting Picks/Prospects. Maybe they should try something different and make the playoffs so some of their players can experience it, even though it's not likely they would beat the Bruins or win the Cup..... Just breaking the drought might help the culture and help the players with some playoff experience

I would say they did try to de-escalate the situation by ignoring him/not yelling back at him. It used to be that they tell you just ignore people like that. IIRC, he even tells the big guy to come down and hit him, and he got hit. Then he starts crying that he got hit.

Considering all pro sports are rigged like pro wrestling now that sports betting is legal............. this game makes sense I saw alot of comments elsewhere questioning how the Flames could be the favorite in this game, seeing the spread have the Sabres at +1.5 many said this was an easy bet. Las Vegas saw this, and decided to make some calls as revenge for the Eichel deal........ It all makes sense now

Is the league still doing that? I thought that was a 1 year thing they dropped?

I know, I would say he was great, but if he was bad, then the defence was a dumpster fire......

Was there atleast something at the arena this week preventing them from playing that maybe the Pegulas asked the league not to book anything this week? It's not like the Sabres have played ton of games more then any others that they needed the time off for other teams to catch up to them. I believe Calgary has played 5-6 games more then Buffalo, but Buffalo gets an extra week off after the All Star break? Maybe the schedule makers thought they were doing the Sabres a favor because they were going to be sending half the team to the game this year?

Atleast Carolina is a pretty good team, Calgary isn't and Markstrom has been horrible

Yeah, it's also tough to look great all the time when it's looks like no one else in front of you showed up to play. I seem to remember Miller didn't look great when he got regular playing time in the league. There are very few goalies that will look great when they face a games worth of shots in 2 periods and no one playing defence.

But that would require precious draft picks or prospects to do and only dumb franchises do that. The great franchises just stay patient and wait for all their picks and prospects to develop into a dynasty

I found it looked more like he tried to hold up at the last minute to not take a penalty for a late hit and just went down. They were acting like it was Lucic just Umbergering Bryson

Maybe that was the plan today, don't play defence and let Calgary have guys wide open so UPL can get a ton of action to work on his deficiencies This franchise is just playing 4D chess......
