I prefer to steer clear of prison JOMO. But I'm weird like that.

Lock it in

I have miller in GNFL. Expected 4.5. Still worth the money for me when you consider where he'll be on the pay scale in 3 years.

Ok good, thought maybe I missed an ownership change😲

What team is this?

That ain't rain

Heres how I see it unfolding ROR for Patches and a third Hayes for a second. Orielly Hayes Danault De la rose That's a huge upgrade down the middle.

If they give Colorado this years pick, how do you spin it to the fan base that you aren't actually betting against yourselves ?

Agreed

Tell that to Colin Kaepernick

It's funny to me too...I remember the first time I heard the suggestion that the habs could grab kokoniemi(whatever his name is) as early as 3rd was on the radio about three weeks ago. It was a clip of Craig Button making the argument that he was a top five pick. Since then everywhere I look he has been pushed up the board. Does the former GM have that much pull in popular opinion?

For anyone not in the ECFL, it would be a shame if you didn't get to see RegDunlops new logo.

If its a gifted lifetime acheivment conn smythe then it should go to Ovechkin. If its awarded to the MVP of the winning team, it should go to Kuznetsov. If its awarded to someone not named Ovechkin it will go to Holtby. Unless what I beleive happens becomes a reality. Then Fleury will be the only choice. Get ready for a game 7 This story will not end this way. It should end with Vegas being the first team since the 40's to come back down three games in the playoffs. Thats the way this movie was written. We are just entering the final act.

The question now is if Bossy played for Vegas, who would win game 7?

I object your honour! Calls for speculation. All those episodes of Law and Order have finally paid off. Nailed it.

I dont think we should underestimate the contents of Ovechkin's luggage on his time travel back to Bossy' era. Should he arrive empty handed, he would have to make due with the heavy wooden stick and clunky booted skates that were the norm of the day. And the training regimen that todays athletes are put through has them being finely tuned instruments of speed and strength.(Phil Kessel excluded of course.) Bossy was known mostly for his quick release. I shutter to think what Bossy could do in todays world with a whip for a stick.

Great post James. Mustve taken some time to back that up. The numbers dont lie thats for sure. Unless...

I was thinking the same thing

Oh snap. Tonight just went from occasionally checking in on the game to glued to the screen. Damn. Thanks for the update James!

Lightning for a shot at a free Jersey. Washington for Ovy Backstrom and Eller.

I doubt it brother, just that little post will keep me going for a bit! I've been so disappointed constantly refreshing the home page hoping for something new to appear that I've taken Bagwell's advice and starting putting something together.

Who is it you are referring to here?

Yes!

We had a few good reads recently but now Im getting bored. Throw up a report already.

I think you overestimate the lure of the CH all together. At one time I thought the same thing about Tavares maybe coming here. But then I thought, why would he want to come here over somewhere like San Jose? Heavy media scrutiny along with language politics and an unfriendly tax situation could deter any player from coming to MTL, let alone a player that will literally have his pick as to where he ends up. I'd have to think a team like the Sharks, that are competitive year over year are a much more desirable landing spot for Tavares. That's not even taking into account the weather conditions, and if you think that weather isn't a big factor in the players minds when signing contracts just look at Winterpeg. No kidding they did it the right way through the draft and Cheveldayoff is a genius for his patient approach when you consider how historically difficult it has been to get players to sign there.
