OT: Around Hockey and the NHL

[LightningStrikes]

Seriously?

 

[Hoek]

If they do this then they f***ed over the Panthers for nothing but short term optics, what a f***ing joke. Q needs to be out permanently.

Feels the same as when the Bruins signed Mitchell Miller.

"People have forgotten at this point, right?".

I didn't, I was telling bruins fans all season long that the hockey god's wouldn't forget.

And sure enough they received their karma in the playoffs.

 

[These Are The Days]

Q literally signed off on Brad Aldrich to coach. No

 

[CupsOverCash]

Awesome to see all bolts players doing well with their current teams. They are still bolts damn it!

 

[Major4Boarding]

So the League moved the Turds/Leafs game to Sunday because of the Miami Heat game (Sat Night) and square-peg/round-holed Oilers/Knights to 8pm Saturday (fill the void for HNIC)

Which apparently screwed a shit ton of Oilers Nation by having to reschedule and re book

Should add Kentucky Derby and Lakers/Golden State at 8:30

Hmmfff

True confessions time. As much as it still kills me that the Bolts are out of the playoffs, I have to admit that there is something kinda nice about watching anxiety free hockey.

 

[Renopucker]

Petr Klima gone at 58. I remember him and his two youngsters coming out on the ice at Sunblades after we played. Little guys could scoot, just like the old man. Those "kids" would be 25 now and both played some ECHL/AHL before returning to Czech where the apparently are still playing in the CRL. Man, that's young to cash in the chips...

If you listen close enough... and I mean really close.... get close to the speaker.... you can hear their tears hitting the desk.

Everyone is focused on where Bedard will end up, but purely for the memes, I'm more interested in where Will Smith could go.

It's that time of year where I'm trying my best to find a team that would need to get the 1st overall pick for people not to claim it's rigged. Still haven't found that team, but I'm trying my best.

The conspiracy framing is based on what the TV networks want. They wouldn't want him in Anaheim or Columbus. Those are also the most statistically likely destinations.

send him to Tampa and I assure you TV statistics will go up 10000% xD

Bedard in Chicago isn't the worst scenario for us. He's in the west, so he's basically irrelevant, but he'll be on TV non-stop.

Montreal and Detroit not winning was the priority. Got to feel bad for Anaheim, though. Losing out on both Crosby and now Bedard.

Hopefully Bedard going to a large market brings in some revenue too, we could use the cap increases.

 

[Hoek]

Chicago doesn't deserve him at all. This sucks from a morality perspective (and fairness since they just finally got rid of Toews and Kane and have 3 cups so recently). The league has taken away first rounders for far less.
