depending on your stance on the matter defines how valuable Sandstroms particular talent is

 

Quite possibly your most insightfu post!

Not adding a second viable goalie will be the nail in the coffin for this club. I don't think they'll play Ersson 10 games in a row and Washington is red hot. Once again, not the end of the world if the team doesn't make the playoffs, but this will be something that will have to be addressed in the offseason.

What about Petersen?

He has a great shot is all I remember. Like real snipe quality. I like that as a skill in today's game.

That's a helluva fight right there. Respect is the value added.

Cool interview from Olivier afterwards too:

Nary a scratch. Love it.

That is one of the best fights I've ever seen. He gives up about 4 inches on the reach. Tagged him good several times. Career fight for Olivier.

Just named the Captain tonight.  Both Laughton & TK have the "A's"

Not bad for a guy who literally can't skate.

I am now a Grand Master. From this point forward I prefer to be addressed in this manner, “GrandMaster Coach”, “Grandmaster X”, or just “GCX”

 

now that I have reached this powerful status, i will use my power to influence DB to trade Scott Laughton, just so I can say, “I told you so” to all you haters.

 

you may now go back to paying attention to anything else, which is more important then my useless drivel 

 

Oh my, the old ladies at the top of the escalators will be positively swooning!

All the better...

Lobotomy?

All joking aside (and it's a bloody good joke), whomst among us can definitively say that a minor "tweak" to his Prefrontal Cortex wouldn't help things?

Sure, it could result in him having the brain of an eggplant, but I see no real risk here.

Ya, a simple "WTF was that?" would have sufficed.

Yeah, should have said exactly that, skate away shaking your head.

I get when you pick top 10 you maybe expect a player to be in the top 6, but when you pick 25th (or in Frosts case, 27th) you should just be happy to get an NHLer out of it. 

 

Poehling got overhyped post draft, maybe a bit went to his head or maybe he just wasn't what they said he was, but he's becoming a very good bottom 6 guy, and they're important if you want to win championships.

Poehling is wearing #25 and his name practically rhymes with Podein. Of course he's succeeding.

They see Risto in the lineup and it's a reflex.

Better to let 10 truly guilty accused be wrongfully found not guilty than to have even 1 truly not guilty accused be wrongfully found guilty...so for me it's more terrifying to not have good defence lawyers available to the public...

Math, I'm not much good at it.

But I don't disagree. Terrifying in the sense that I'd want her on my side.

Oh noes, the dreaded early 3-0 lead!

Yes, from everything I've read, Marie Henein is pretty much one of the top dog defense attorneys in the country.

Terrifying really.

With Jian Ghomeshi, as I recall, the judge deciding the case found that the accusers were not just inconsistent in their testimony, but downright repeatedly untruthful.

 

-The accusers told the court that they were terrified of him, but it was only at trial where it was discovered that they had continued to proactively email him, talking about how they were looking forward having sex with him again, how they enjoyed themselves, describing how rough they wanted it, etc. One of the accusers sent bikini pictures and another sent a photo of her fellating a beer bottle.

 

-The judge essentially found that the accusers conspired against Ghomeshi. They exchanged thousands of text between each other, in which they talked about how they were going to destroy him and his career, and also hired the same lawyer and also employed a publicist.

Plus Ghomeshi had an absolute shark of a lawyer who made minced meat of those women.

...direct any questions you may have to the league

Yes, if you're going to say nothing you go full legal and say this, in which case you prolly don't even hold a presser.

Yeah, but I'm not sure what else he can say, you know?  I'm sure he's under instruction from corporate counsel on this.

Yeah, fair enough.

I guess they had to do a press conference, but a press conference where you read a two sentence statement that says you have nothing to say but will take questions, and then when questioned say you know nothing, just creates cynicism.

Unavoidable I guess.

....the whole concept that they've never in any way shape or form ever talked to him about anything having to do with this situation seems borderline irresponsible.

It just doesn't seem believable.

Carter's name was being thrown around at various points about potentially being involved in this, including on this forum. 

DB's presser today on this is completely underwhelming on all fronts. Doesn't know anything. Carter who?

Sure, fair.

 

But I also reserve the right to blame Lindros who, last I checked, is Canadian. He's probably from London! 

OMG!

So, here's a question.   Let's say Carter is found guilty and (I admit I don't know the whole story) Hockey Canada is thought to have to have tried to cover this up previous to the Flyers drafting Carter, will the Flyers Organization sue Hockey Canada for loss of revenue?    Not sure they can get a draft pick in compensation as the NHL wasn't involved.

Interesting question. Probably? I will ask my lawyer girlfriend. 

But let's say the answer is yes they could sue HC for damages. They'd get like 12 bucks, some Tim's donuts, and a case of beer.

And he has questionable ethics when it comes to women……allegedly 

You mean like sleeping with Brindy's wife? Or was it the other way around?

Which red-blooded men among us can claim to be pure as the driven snow on these matters? Not me, but in fairness to me, sheep have been the most transgressed, ahem.
