That is the actual promotional graphic they are using for the game.

I think the question is whether he wants to do that here. I have a sneaky suspicion that he's not high on Torts' list, but could be wrong.

Did you see where the assistant coach behind the bench said there were some players not giving their all and essentially not caring and that he wasn't going to name names but their teammates know who they are? There you go.

Buffalo as a franchise definitely tanked to try to get McDavid and wound up with Eichel. Definitely. Not even a shadow of a question. It was a stated goal. It's not a matter of "playing to lose" - it's a matter of assembling a roster without any real talent on it. Look at this mess: https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/BUF/2014.html The top scorer had 44 points in 76 games and it was Cody (freaking) Hodgson. They had two 20-goal scorers. 20 and 21. They scored 151 total goals. In a season. It happens.

Welcome to literally two weeks ago.

It's like Owen Tippett's hat trick never happened. Teams on the rise need to win games like that to take the step into the playoffs. Take those nights off and you're golfing early.

Let me tell you a little story involving Ryan Miller, a Lumina, and an Applebee's. It starts out xxxx xxxx. Xxx xxxx xx xxx x xxxxx. #IYKYK

There? There? You got past this?

Upping the value of Fletchgren's Future Considerations from Polie...

I'm on the Boston shoots twice side.

It's a five minute subway. Gets me out of the house.

Is this thing still going?? Actually, I have lower level seats at bargain basement price for da Broons... I see it sort of like a prepostseason game.

In fairness, if they keep him and he pots 30 a couple of times, I'll take it. Fletchgren would trade him for Ekholm or sign him for eight years. He is begging for a team friendly 2-3 year bridge deal.

I am considering "He is expected to be back by training camp" As an epitaph... With a Flyers logo. In the new old shade.

Whether or not you are on this forum has no bearing on the matter.

Blackhawks fans hated the elder Wirtz for literally years. Teams, coaches, players, general managers, owners, trainers, assistant coaches, assistant trainers, special assistants to the regional manager - they can all be hated while still being a "fan" of the team. We know this because it has been that way from the beginning...

People who use the word "wee" to describe things that aren't actually that small!

As if the shade of orange fundamentally affects the direction of an organization and/or the way a player plays the game... But I digress... If they are going to attempt to reshape the organization this off-season, then waiting for the "big reveal" about the costumes might have been more effective later in the summer. At the moment, there is something of a "lipstick/pig" relationship. Which is, at the very least, a step up from the "rearranging deck chairs" relationship of recent years.

No, it wasn't.

Then this makes at least twice.

The Yotes will pay $6M - total - over the next four seasons to get a $7.1M cap hit on their books each year. Yes, my friends, this is a Holmgren contract.

These two are related. Spending a 1st, three 2nds, a 3rd, and a 4th to turn Gostobethere and Hagg into Ristolainen and Deangelo at a higher price point, for longer term has to be one of the worst examples of asset management in NHL history. The fact that the guy they paid a 2nd and a 7th to get rid of returned a 3rd to the team they traded him to from a playoff contender just highlights the insanity.
