Great points Ice-Tray. I'll let it die here since I probably carried on too much, but you're absolutely correct.I definitely wanted to make sure I toed the line of not minimizing at all while alluding to the long list of truly horrifying things humans have done to each other on a massive scale, especially in the ancient world.
Hitler and Stalin certainly tried to make the cut in the modern world. Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, Hutus and Tutsies, the slavery, war, rebellion, that led to the founding of Haiti….
It’s a sordid list and you’re right, we still aren’t that far removed. I mean Gaza is shaping up to be atrocious on a grand scale, Ukraine has had its share as well.
Will we ever learn?
Having said that, I am enjoying these playoffs.
He'll sign in Ottawa to play next to his fellow German, Stutzle.I doubt Draisaitl re-signs in Edmonton. Probably in LA after they dump Dubois.
What you don’t seem to understand, progressives take it upon themselves to make the claim that this group, or that group would be offended if not,included.
Progressive sit at home looking for something to be offended about, or something that another group should be offended about.
It wasn’t native Americans that objected about the Washington Reskins team nickname, in fact the majority either Supported or were not offended by the Redskins name…. Progressive activists were the driving force behind the movement to rename the team… because progressives know better that you, and what you should, be offended by…. It all started with political correctness about twenty five years ago, in universities… and now has spread into the mainstream as the woke movement.
I wonder if Rod Brindamour could become available....after 13 seasons in coaching as an assistant coach and head coach in Carolina, maybe he will need a change of scenery...a fresh start.
He is an Ottawa boy...well at least born in Ottawa.
Staios should have waited and thrown 4 sheets ( $4 million a season) his way and got Brindamour instead of Mr. Green Jeans.
4 sheets isn't getting you Brindamour, he's going to command 5+ to forego all the other teams that would be vying for him to come to OttawaI wonder if Rod Brindamour could become available....after 13 seasons in coaching as an assistant coach and head coach in Carolina, maybe he will need a change of scenery...a fresh start.

Don't you forget about me by Simple Minds is the Vancouver Canucks goal song.
A weird choice for a goal song.
Miller immediately post-trade had some Pierre Luc Dubois vibes going on and has turned into a top 10 center in the league of late. An incredible turnaround.Really hope Rod the Bod doesn't end up in TML if him and Carolina part ways. That chokejob was pretty bad.
JT Miller has had such an awesome turnaround. Went from being a pouting defensive liability, to an absolute clutch beast on ever end of the ice.
seems like a moody guy.. but I always liked him.. I get zero PLD vibes from him and never didMiller immediately post-trade had some Pierre Luc Dubois vibes going on and has turned into a top 10 center in the league of late. An incredible turnaround.

I'm just nervous that he gets everyone in TML in the gym and they become swole enough to start being more grittyI mean, Toronto and choke jobs are like peas in a pod, maybe Brindamour would fit right in...
I do wonder about how good of a coach Brindamour really is (he's certainly not bad, but is he as good as his reputation). I'm not entirely sold on his team's offensive system of spam the net from every possible angle and hope it leads to some juicy rebounds to capitalize on. He does get a very solid defensive game out of his teams though,
4M isn’t getting Brindamour. Can you imagine our roster trying to defend in his man on man system. Horrifying.I wonder if Rod Brindamour could become available....after 13 seasons in coaching as an assistant coach and head coach in Carolina, maybe he will need a change of scenery...a fresh start.

Bullshit. There is a line between wackos wanting every single little thing changed or eliminated, and those that want to change some things that make sense.
First Nations groups have voiced for years that some of the names used were offensive. Hard to believe they could be upset, they only lost an estimated 50% of their population from the genocide during colonization.

35% of those playoff date revenues are used to fund revenue sharing, so drop everything down a third.per stat muse
May 17, 2014 to May 17, 2024
best team:
Tampa Bay- 146 playoff games. Good team, ~ 76 are are home dates. Average gm ~ 3.5 M = 266 M
Mid Table:
Toronto 57 playoff games... Mid table quality, so 28 home dates. At 4.5 M = 126 M
Florida 57 playoff games.. mid table, so 28 games ~ 3.5 M = 98 M
Near Bottom
Ottawa 25 playoff games.. low rank, so 10 home dates. At 3.5 M = 35 M
absolute bottom
Buffalo 0 M
average of the top 16 teams (less Tampa Bay, which is a ridicules outlier) ~ 80 games played. ~ 40 home dates ~ 3.5 M per game ~ 140 M
the Sens have missed out on 105 M.
It is incredible to realize; from 1999-2000 to 2009-2010, the Sens were mid table, amongst the elite.
from 2010-2011 to today, near the absolute bottom. Thank you Eugene!!!
A boneheaded Owner and dumb GM can do that to a team!Zibanejad has developed into quite a leader, he’s the total package. This one still stings
