News Around the League: 2017-2018 During and AFTER THE CUP

Patty has 2 cups to their combined zero. I think that holds more weight than an art Ross trophy.

I don't know if I agree with this. I think you get into the Hall of Fame based more on your individual merit and accomplishments than team ones.

i dont think they're locks for the HHOF at all. sorry but if jeremy roenick doesn't get in, the sedins don't get in.

edit- a compromise. let one of the sedins into the HHOF just to be a dick about it

lol it would actually be hilarious if one was a first-ballot guy and the other wasn't but the hockey establishment will probably just follow along and do them a solid putting both in the same year

“I’ve always wanted it to work” is something you say when you are breaking up with someone

 

[markog]

I hope Rangers beat Philadelphia (in regulation) and Florida beat Buffalo and Boston.

 

[SeidoN]

I wont be able to watch it live, but that COL/STL match tomorrow is gonna be insane.

Roenick isn't in because tons of people absolutely hate him and consider him a self promoting clown, they don't care that his playing career merits induction.

I like it...Andy Dalton got a lot of extra money from Buffalo Bills fans for his charity beating whoever it was (the Ravens?) to help the Bills get in, I was remembering where I'd seen something like this recently and it finally came to me it was with that.

mike milbury is hardly tons of people

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

Skip to 3:50 in the video - Gross walks in on a Dana White interview and is clearly ignoring commands to come back and walk another way, around the interview. No ****s were given haha

Caught my eye watching it and I thought ‘... is that Andrew Gross?’.

 

[sabremike]

mike milbury is hardly tons of people

He is hardly the only person who feels that way (I could point to the most well known hockey writer in this area for example).

i’m sure some people that actually matter (such as marleau or thorton or whoever that was that he had issues with) don’t like him. but most of the people who don’t like him are fans, and they don’t induct players for the hhof like american idol

Go look at some of the guys who've been inducted, then look at their careers compared to Roenick. Then ask "Why isn't Roenick in?".

While I appreciate the sentiment, this is a problem on many levels... What's to stop Philly or Tampa management from doubling the offer to go the other way?

It's an ethical problem to have any dollars riding on the outcome of a league game like this, I think, even if it's for a good cause.

Ben Lovejoy has more cups than Erik Karlsson.

 

[NJDevs26]

Double the offer how, for him to take a dive? That'd be too obvious a case of bribery trying to fix a game nobody would openly do it.

Haha that is Gross. He covers the Islanders now and that presser was apparently at Barclays Center.

 

[Burner Account]

Ben Lovejoy has more cups than Erik Karlsson.

Chris Kunitz has more than just about everybody so I guess he should be first ballot.

 

[The Wumpus]

Last day of the season and it looks like only one round is set. We could still face four different teams.

its not the same thing. you can't "pay" someone to win a game. you pay them to take a dive. you can control losing a game you can't control winning a game
