...and add a healthy Lehner for a full season, and Ennis possibly back to being Ennis.... should be much improved. Moulson tho.
-
..the tertiary (and quarternary) players on championship teams are not necessarily young or cheap. Those are spots you can normally fill through FA or trade once you have your top six filled out with your elite core.
-
yes, but it's much more lengthy process and involves plenty of luck...
-
I hope BUF doesn't end up with Matthews. He's going to be a very good player, but IMO will fall well short of expectations, especially come playoff time. I'd rather have Reinhart in the stable for a Cup run... he has the intangibles.
-
I see your point, however losing ROR for a month is not a minor absence. BUF doesn't have enough elite talent to make up for it. It's not an intentional "tank" in the traditional sense, but w/o ROR I don't see how they finish out of the bottom 3.... call it a tank or not, it is what it is.
-
Depends what your definition of "tank" is.

Ryan O'Reilly lower-body injury; could be out "several weeks"
pi2000 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Gonna be a tough few weeks. I don't want them to tank again, but this is a huge loss. Wonder if this changes anything for trade deadline... prolly not. -
i'd question the hooking call on Zemgus, and I didn't think that was a major on Hartnell.... i'm OK with the other calls.
-
you lost me at "Craig Button"
-
what a snipe by Legwand, can't trade him now
-
current 3rd?
-
None of those former core guys are all-stars. Expecting them to carry any team on a successful playoff run is just wrong. They're potentially nice complimentary pieces in the right situation, but not difference makers.
-
He takes very long shifts as well. Always the last guy off.

Seen this happen so many times in beer league, will never take the cage off again. Had a good friend I played college with lose an eye in beer league... nasty nasty injury, permanently blind in one eye now, can't drive at night, has a family and whatnot.... not worth the risk, beer league just doesn't pay enough and the trainers are usually the zamboni drivers. Seriously tho, cocaine will numb any part of your mouth it comes in contact with. Great for broken noses, or unbroken noses, just ask Evander "Co" Kane :)

Justin Bailey texted/called/recalled/homing pigeoned/DMd by the Sabres
pi2000 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
putting him on the 4th line looked like a tank move IMO. He's clearly out skating and out chancing Moulson. -

after the trade deadline IMO (if he's still on the team) -
Nice play by Grigorenko, steals the puck, leads the rush and makes a slick pass to Iginla for the go ahead goal late in the 3rd. https://www.nhl.com/video/iginlas-late-goal-gives-avs-lead/t-277996314/c-41508703

I thought our bet was where they would pick (post lottery)? Anyway, at 80 points, they have a 44% chance of finishing in the bottom 5.
-
He probably didn't want to risk carrying it through customs, so relied on some contact in Toronto for his supply who probably shorted him, then didn't take any back over the border and went into a coma when he finally got back to his HarborCenter suite most likely.
-
If they continue at their last 17 games pace (55.88% points per GP) they'll finish with 79 points (53 + (48 * 0.5588) = 79.82), round down as they'll come up just short of 80 points. Anyway, with 79 points they would have a 64% chance of finishing in the bottom 5, and a 3% chance of finishing in the bottom 3.
-
confirmed
-
if Buffalo finishes their last 24 games at the same pace (54.31% points lost in GP) they'll finish with 75 points, which gives them a 77% chance of finishing in the bottom 3.

You folks have no idea how bad the cocaine problem is in hockey, not just the NHL. I understand you have no reason to believe me, I'm just words on a page here, so I'll leave it at that.

I know about a dozen people here in southern california that look like that guy and they're all cocaine abusers. I play hockey with one of them and he's always pushing it on us and tells us stories about parties w/ Ducks/Kings players he knows well, stories backed up by another guy that works for the Ducks... I could name names, I won't, but players you wouldn't suspect are ravaging users. It's not just the big time stars with money to burn, it's the guys bouncing up and down from the "A" as well. Do I know for a fact this esilver guy does coke? No. But I wasn't born yesterday either.
