lol what an overpay.

We might get to see another riot this spring.

I think there's a chance this gets thrown out all together for delays. I think they have 30 months to make it happen, from what I've been reading. They're definitely going to be up against it. Nothing gets done in a timely manner, here.

If that happens, holy fuck what a travesty.

He definitely should shelve the retro setup, as sweet as it is.

He's not big enough to use darker colored gear, he needs to be in all white, it gives him the best chance for success. 

What happened to Gorton? He butchered multiple drafts in a row and got canned. 

Everything flipped when Captain Tkachuk fought a guy for no reason. 

You love to see it

Sportsnet announcers are really puzzled around Fox's footspeed. 

Never in doubt

You can really only find that kind of sublime quality at 1st OA

Tkachuk is so tough that legend has it he once spent a day in a Public School.

Fox is such a great skater

It's insane though.  This is a vet team with a vet coaching staff.  How have things gotten so out of control?

I'm not sure any of us can answer that, but I think it'd be a good guess that 50% of your lineup having a nmc probably isn't healthy.

Why is the rangers play so unstructured recently?

 

It feels like they are playing pickup street hockey some nights.

That takes discipline. Neither the players, nor the coach are willing to do what it takes to make that a reality.

Panarin just doesn't give a fuck about anything other than attempting whatever sauce he wants to, anywhere on the ice, at any time.

It's funny because he's the poster child for 1OA busts, and he was much more effective than Lafreniere, initially anyways.

The only difference between this team and the '94 team is no Mark Messier.  And we weren't winning a cup in '94 without Messier.  He was the essential piece.

They had Mike Keenan. This team has the Lenny Wilkins of hockey.

Would the lineup Vegas is icing even make the cap floor?

We're talking about Igor there instead of Panarin for the turnover?

It's OK to admit he blows. He might win a Vezina next year, but this year, he's fukin garbage.

At some point you have to start looking forward to Shesterkin's contract being up

Good for him. He stuck with it. Very uneven development.

Turns out the Czech trainer dude was just pumping him full of meth so he looked spry for Insta.

Such a fucked up atmosphere around this team. 4 days ago, they all had Keefe's obituary wrote. The media. The blogs, the influencers.. Now, he's a genius again.

2 days ago  Samsonov was only there out of necessity. To be waived the instant Woll came back.. Now, he's a vezina candidate

It must be so exhausting. 

Their blue line personnel are really something else. Morgan Reilly, 3 guys years past their expiration date, and 2 guys that just dropped in from, what I presume, was the Savannah Ghost Pirates. 

They have Papi, though, so they keep winning.

It's what came up when I searched for "eek" face. It's not that deep.

 

I don't even know why you're reading that much into it. It's a reaction GIF, not a statement on pop culture.

 

And yea, I'm a Jay Z fan. Deal with it.

Would you let your daughter listen to his degenerate, criminal, misogynistic "art"?

Just now, Pete said:

But one of the incidents you're discussing involves a photo that was meant for one person and was shared with many.

 

If that happened to your daughter, and your response was "well you shouldn't have sent the picture... "

 

 Jay Z. Very fitting

It's unfair to blame hockey for bad behavior. This sadly is a human thing. These guys happened to be hockey players. Could have been a rock band, a fire company, college professors. If they're bad guys and it's proven they did this,  that's on them.

 

Western cultural elites think they're gonna solve every problem with a new program or law rather than simply punishing bad behavior as warning enough. The legalistic bubble wrap afterward is pointless if you don't instill right and wrong in children.

100%. There will  undoubtedly, be bad humans in hockey until hockey ceases to exist.

For me, I have a 2016 who is already getting invites to play all over Ontario. This will be an absolutely invaluable lesson for him in decision making. Women and booze are the worst enemy of a teenager with aspirations. This is the basic truth of every adolescent athlete. Both should be avoided.

That's no fault of women, it's mostly the fault of mixing male teenage hormones with alcohol. Almost nothing positive can happen.
