Around the League XXXIII: The Regular Season is Here!

I think that's pretty hilarious

Sounds like Edzo is in the booth on Wed!

Cool to hear.

Awesome!

Agreed.

Read that he's working the game on Thursday too with Foley in Chicago. They're definitely gonna have something before the game I would imagine. Then I figure Foley and Edzo will be blubbering messes during most of the first.

Lol, someone doesn't like our division.

As probably the only person alive that still wears Chicago Express gear (including what's still my favorite hat), I think that's a mild understatement about the division's quality. Mild.

Welcome to HF

Listen to Overdrive talking about the Trotz comments. So funny and right.

What is a Chicago Express?

What is a Chicago Express?

Not the answer, but that's what I call D-pairings in Rockford that have played in Chicago lol. Last year Gus and Sved played together a bit. I called them the Chicago Express.
Random, useless info. But its what I thought of

How? Mobile available too?

Oh, that's a skin some members have scrabbled together for Stylish. Desktop only AFAIK. A few weird kinks still but better than starting at all the white

Can't download any skins on Chrome at work Wish HF would get a dark skin embedded on the site.

My god the Habs are an awful team.

Jeff Carter out indefinitely with a cut to his left leg sustained last night. It required surgery to repair.

Didn't look like an achilles to me after seeing video, though, so likely to miss at least a few weeks is my guess. Looks to have caught him somewhere in his calf. Depends on the severity of it, I guess. Could be a few weeks, could be months?

Edit: Kings say it's not an achilles injury, so that's good for the Kings.

Just a little reminder and/or perspective that most fan bases have a lot to complain about (except for those jerks up in Toronto and Jersey)

Pretty cool goalie conversation. For those who aren't stats lovers, you can honestly skip the methodology section if you like. They talk about what models they look at, but they use the eye-test too and consider age and injuries and everything as well, and few stats are actually referenced during the conversation.

Blackhawks spoiler: Crawford is listed at #6 and #3 overall on their lists, respectively.

Ranking matches my findings as well. The real question though is why, if Crawford's actual numbers put him into the 5-10 slot, that so-called fans continue to rank him so low in spite of all evidence to the contrary?

Those ranking him so low, or criticizing to the nth degree... really have no idea what they're talking about, and their entire argument is baseless. Which is why you'll never seen one of them post actual stats to try and back up their view on Crow.

Bingo. To add to that, those that call him anything from garbage to average don't even have a baseline for ranking what garbage or average is!

Great 1st game for Bergeron, wow.

Yeah, no shit.

He just had to come in and burn down villages for you...

I thought I could make up some ground on you, until Bergy had himself a night like that.

At least my gut feeling on starting Amari Cooper in my FFL was correct for his breakout this week. Hmmm 210 yards and 2 TDs? Yes please.
