NHL 16-17 Season Official Thread <3 - Page 14 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I thought we were into the Hutchinson Hope Era.

Great Jet Goalie Hope Eras of the past:
Beauregard
Berthiaume
Cheveldae
Daley
Essensa
Hayward
Khabibulin
Reddick
Tabaracci

(Daley and Khabi both won.)

It what world does it take fancy stats to figure this out. Watch a game once in a while people. This is not directed at you T36 you are doing what you can to illustrate the obvious. The problem is this, the EDM fan who I assume actually watches games is able to come to the conclusion that TH is not a good player and was in fact was the main problem in EDM. Just imagine how colossally maladjusted to the game you must be to reach such a conclusion? From there its just a **** show.

yeah he has always been a great asset to a team, just didn't fit in a team that needed a very good defensive mind because of so many leaks and he's clearly not a two way player much, but toronto, montreal and such cities always claim this makes a player bad like if every player had to do everything right to be a good player...

that taylor hall is a great hockey player that doesn't fit in every team, especially the oilers that had way too many of the same type of player and far from enough depth at every position, etc.

72off, sick stuff i love the oilers orange jersey for the heritage classic, one of the best in the nhl imo

I literally never bet on the Bruins to beat the Habs and the Habs literally always beat the Bruins. Trying something new today. Just bet the Bruins to beat the Habs. They're getting +100 at home. **** it. Go down with the ship.

+100 seems low since Rask looked really meh last yeah and Price is Price, but i think i'd lean the same way u're going in this game + Rask looks good this year man(he's also 4th scorer on the team lol). we'll see if marchand's/pastrnak's sick start to the season will keep going

Gretzky looks gassed already lol

Teemu can score a lot of goals in this if he keeps trying
but excessive tryhard is generally quite frowned upon

and the nameplates are like white stick tape + sharpie

well, score dictates the LOiLers can step up their tryhard game if they want, so it'll be interesting to see if someone like Ryan Smyth has a better 2nd period

i think cold is more of a concern than hot now with these things (given that they can do them in California, anywhere basically), so with it being in Winnipeg you have to go early before the city is frozen
