That's not the same thing though. I'm sure he was professional, and all these guys say these things these days and if they aren't bright they get lines from their agents to repeat. That's the business. We are way past Bull Durham. But there is a difference between being professional and accommodating them with favourable landing spots. Reinhart could just as subtly been saying ANYWHERE was a favourable landing spot to being in Buffalo.

I think Chicago was the first to find a way to circumvent cap rules.

Sweating in practice? Nah, you'd mess your flow.

Adams press conference post trade deadline
PerreaultForever replied to PASabreFan's topic in The Aud Club
I'm almost at this place. I have been for a few years but I keep getting sucked back in with some false hope or other. Come playoffs I will watch the Bruins and other games. Hopefully they beat the Leafs and that'll be my little joy for the year. Then they will lose to Florida and I guess I will cheer for Florida, give Kyle a cup. I'm going to hope Vegas fails, just because of the cap LTIR and also still a little because of Jack, cheer against Edmonton because I hate the hype and their announcer, and I'm going to hope Carolina has terrible luck and loses early so that Brind'Amour will become available. It's a slim hope. Sabres? I got nuthin' until they do somethin'. If they do nothing in free agency, well, it'll be hard to stay loyal to the blue and gold. -
Pasta is a sniper, sure, but there's a world of difference in their style of play as well. Contrary to what the casual Bruins viewer might think Pasta can drive the play and be a very good passer. He looks for Zacha almost as much as Zacha looks for him. The big difference though is Pasta will battle for the puck and go to heavy traffic areas. This is why he is elite like Crosby and McDavid and others. Tage isn't in that group imo.

Adams press conference post trade deadline
PerreaultForever replied to PASabreFan's topic in The Aud Club
I'm just amused he said he drafted Krebs. -
If I'm Vancouver I'm resting players down the stretch and taking the foot of the accelerator for a while. Would not want to meet Vegas first round.

So we tank out the rest of this year??
PerreaultForever replied to WhenWillItEnd66's topic in The Aud Club
We aren't tanking but I imagine the mood on the team will be down and they will just be playing out the season with minimal efforts. RFAs will probably give a damn playing for contracts. The losing culture gets deeper entrenched. Vacation plans are probably already in the making. I personally don't care about the draft one iota. -
Adams thinks he drafted Krebs, that was interesting. 🙂 He's a good BS artist like most GMs. Hint of wanting to do something in free agency but vague enough to fall back on "the plan" if he doesn't succeed. Just keep on sailing right into that iceberg.

If they want to stop it (or lessen it) what the league needs imo is an independent medical assessment team that answers only to the NHL. When teams go over cap they need to examine LTIR guys and if they deem them "healthy" at any point then get taken off LTIR and then that team has to play roster short. That and extending the cap into the playoffs. You can have players that send you over the cap, you just can't dress a roster over cap during the season. Should be in the playoffs too. I think they fake the severity of injuries. Stone has a bad back no question. He can't do the rigors of a full season, but come playoff time he goes on extra meds and sucks it up. So how injured he is, is a questionable issue and somewhat open to interpretation.

I wish this was true, but I don't think it is.

Well the "rule" has to be changed that's for sure but since they are the violator I will hate them for now (almost as much as I will continue to hate the Leafs). TSN compared it to the old Yankees era where everybody went there and they spent far more than any other team. I think it's a fair comparison.
-
Backs up what I've always thought and clearly speaks to the issues here. It's not the altitude, it's the attitude.
-
It's "legal" but this is absurd. I have to cheer for them to lose to whoever this year. Without a doubt. It's just too far.

Nope. Smart asset management by Philly showing you how to rebuild AND compete at the same time. Do not confuse the current Philly management with Cliff Fletcher. Philly got Walker and his salary as a throw in salary dump last year, used him well and flipped him for a 1st rounder and then tossed a 4th away for a temp fill in while Seeler, Ristolainen and Drysdale are all injured because they are still in the hunt. So future and present at the same time. That, imo, is good management.

What needs to be done this offseason
PerreaultForever replied to WhenWillItEnd66's topic in The Aud Club
What DOESN'T need to be done. Too soon for this thread imo. List is way too long and uncertain at this point. -
I'd love this too. Can't stand the guy but it would be amusing as hell to claim him. We won't though.
