  1. TP doesn't have to do anything for the fans, if he doesn't want to. It's his team and his money. Being a die-hard fan doesn't make you a decision maker for the team, and it doesn't obligate an owner to cater to the fan base.
  2. There's a joke in there, but I'm not gonna be the one to make it.
  3. Don't forget, he's gotten something into Stafford too.
  4. As if Wang is going to let him toss around money. Vanek and Moulson didn't want to be there.
  5. Well, who else plays on his "scoring line?" Just because he can't carry this team by himself, doesn't make him a worthless player.
  6. Yeah. The timeline is based on perception, I guess. People around here were singing his praises not too long ago, IMO.
  7. This is just sad. Oh...I meant me not having an FB to enter with. Not the contest itself.
  8. I am still not understanding the sudden dislike of Hodgson around here...
  9. The players are not intentionally trying to lose, and neither is Nolan. The brass may have made moves that put the players and coaches into a position where it is more difficult to win, but most of the players still want to win and earn their place in the NHL. Leino is probably an exception. I am certain players like Enroth, Lieuwen, Deslauriers, Ennis, Conacher, Flynn, Ruhwedel, etc arent purposely throwing games.
  10. Losing Tarasenko could be a major blow.
  11. I think Torts has just lost his touch. He was great with the Amerks, then in TB... He has been awful since. Time to stop coaching.
  12. I didn't even notice that Ville was still a Sabre. Weird
  13. That girl Tallinder hooked up with was a journalist?
  14. Yikes. This is inaccurate. He has faced 98 shots. He wasnt in the net for the Gerbe empty netter.
  15. This. Driving home at 7pm, and 390 was a ghost town. Pretty cool.
  16. Crazy game between NYI and Van right now. NYI has 6 goals in the 3rd...
  17. People have drawn comparisons of Crosby to Butt-Head and Andy Samberg.
  18. The Caps don't owe the Sabres anything. Once they got rid of him, it's not their fault nor their problem that he didn't want to play for the last place Sabres, nor their farm club. If they traded him knowing he was injured, different story. And this.
  19. MacKinnon did not get as much hype as McDavid.
  20. While I agree that McDavid looks special, there are never any guarantees. Remember what prompted the draft lottery to begin with? Another "can't-miss" player - Alexandre Daigle: Leading up to the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, Daigle was considered a "can't miss" prospect and NHL superstar-in-waiting. The Senators were even accused of deliberately losing games late in the 1992–93 season, their first in the NHL, in order to guarantee the first overall selection and the right to draft him. This prompted an investigation by the NHL, who soon implemented a draft lottery to prevent such things from happening again. The Senators subsequently finished dead last in the 1992–93 league standings, thus securing the rights to the first overall pick. As the draft approached, the Quebec Nordiques, who were hosting the event, were reportedly so eager to draft the next French-Canadian superstar that they were rumored to have offered star players such as Owen Nolan, Peter Forsberg, Ron Hextall, and draft picks, but Ottawa management disregarded all offers. Daigle was selected first overall by the Senators, ahead of future superstars Chris Pronger and Paul Kariya, who were picked second and fourth, respectively.
  21. He created a few chances on his own. He also did some work along the boards in the offensive zone.
