'Scott Howson is one of the best evaluators of talent there is out there'

'Next year will be another developmental year.'

'There is no greater springboard to success than failure'

'The fans to be able to appreciate the fact that we can spring six or seven passes together'(Despite the fact that this is a team that STRUGGLES TO BREAK OUT OF THEIR OWN ZONE)

'I don't think it's a good strategy to trade developing assets'

"Our team plays a lot in our defensive zone so our team needs to really help Justin for his deficiencies."

And many, many more 'gems.' It's a team that can't attract free agents and overvalues what assets they DO have

LOL BAHSTON
LOL PRIZM

tho

on their way to the greatest success then

Point - fans want to see it.

Time -
There is a chart on nhl.com that shows what everyone's number is.

A lotto ball machine spits out 4 balls.

Those 4 balls are put in order to match with the chart numbers.

Someone wins.

It could take 1 minute total, or they could draw it out for suspense.

lol

jfc this Canada squad for the WCH, we are ****ed

Holy ****, just saw the Canada roster...

Seguin
Giroux
Ekblad
Hall
Eberle
RNH
Muzzin
etc.
etc.

If this team doesn't win gold that would be a shame.

wow MacKinnon, Duchene, O'Reilly, Toffoli, Spezza, Ennis, Burns, Barrie, etc too
noice that's noice

USA#1 squad looking pretty developmental based on what i've seen so far
think i saw that they're taking at least 4 NCAA players (one being Eichel ldo), maybe more

someone wanna go and make a thread for that or something?

No Morgan Reilly? What a ****ing joke.

Wonder if Doughty goes. Or is he too old at 25.

Made a thread for it:

Chiarelli fired

a little bit surprised that they pulled the trigger so quickly on Chiapet, but then again they kinda boxed themselves in with all the bluster about making the playoffs or else. guess we might expect some big moves from them this summer then. saw some talk that they might be shopping Lucic, for one.

as for Chia, i wonder if he might head back to Ottawa
or does Murray already have a strong AGM in place?
would be a good option for San Jose too if they decide to clean house

alright alright alright

should have kept my main man Chiarelli and dumped that fat loser Clode only

tim murray should get hired, win the mceichel randomfest, then do one of these to both chiarelli and the sabres.

Seguin will haunt Chia for the rest of his born days.

I think they should have given Chia another year to clean house. Hopefully in the off season Julien takes a course in player deployment.

Howdy everyone. Been a long long time since I posted here and it's probably going to still be a long long time until I posted here again. This is what happens when you get accepted back into a school that you got kicked out of, four years ago, and now you end up working your butts off, sacrificing all your free time which could have been used watching hockey and using what's left of that free time, which is pretty small, watching twitch.tv streams.

Anywho, nice title. I still can't believe it's true though. I am sad. That is all. I still love this 2+2 hockey community.

Good lottery primer: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/n...el-number-one/

it's not rigged.

The lottery #'s are up on nhl.com

^ pretty shocked

- Berube given the Ted Nolan treatment. now that i think about it, i wonder how many coaches we'll see get canned in an attempt to lure Babcock. Philly is another with all the money in the world, along with Toronto and apparently Buffalo.
WANGZ fanz: the talk earlier in the year from Babcock's camp was that he wasn't interested in a rebuild, only contenders. that would seem to rule some of these teams out, and possibly make a Detroit stay more attractive given all their young talent.

- Stars possibly gambool it up and sign D John Klingberg to a 7-year / $29.75m extension ($4.25m AAV) on the strength of his 40pts in 65gp rookie season, and good possession numbers. could be quite a coup if that's how good he actually is, and looks like a ~$7m D and the cap goes up to $75-80m soon. and it could end up looking pretty lol if he's a mirage. anyone watch him closely enough to say either way? can't say i noticed him much this year tbh.

- Bettman ghana Bettman:

4.25 year is basically a freeroll, thats almost what 3rd pairing plugs get lol

in euro news, Slavia Prague got relegated just minutes ago

where is it easiest to find WOWY stats for a player and his whole team, instead of individuals?

Like, when Kalrsson is on the ice, Ottawa has x CF%, when he's not, they have x CF%... cant seem to find it on stats.hockeyanalysis
