3/4 division winners downed in the first round. Fourth division winner has an upcoming game 7. What a wild start to these playoffs.

And Makar and potentially Byram if the Avs draft him/Hawks pass on Byram. Some great young D in our division.

Came in here to celebrate Nashville losing with you guys. $&%@ing hate that team and fans. Too lazy too really look into it, but I hope they're on a downhill now.

anyway you slice it, the f***ing Avs are getting a stud as well. whether it is Byram and Makar or Mackinnon and Turcotte either scenario makes me vomit.

If you're bad for long enough, eventually you'll amass enough draft picks to get good.

Unless you're Edmonton.

It was honestly about time Colorado got good again, they've been middling to bad since like 2003.

No threat from the Central since Chicago got sick.

What to do? Wait.

Preds out, can’t say I’m disappointed.

Moved the last few posts from the old topic to here.

Old topic: Around the League XXXIX - Bolts choked earlier than expected

And yes, it's games seven, not game sevens. I will die on this semantic hill.

Alrighty...


BRB, need to make seven chickens parmesan.

Also, remember when the Bolts bolted on Bishop and now Bishop is in the second round while the Bolts aren't?

Mwa-mwa

There’s no way it’s games 7

Bishop was injured a bit when they bailed on him. But he was generally solid.

It's the fans fault, it's all their fault.

The sooner the Nashville fans straighten out their act the better.

They'll probably raise a banner, still.

Technically games 7 is the correct written grammar, but I dont know anybody who says it aloud that way, lol

 

[BK]

I have to question if the Preds window has already started to close. RJ and Turris don't look good. Subban might be on the way out. Josi and company are not getting younger.

According to what, though? It all depends on how you look at it. If you look at it as two separate words, then yes. To me... Game 7 is a complete term in and of itself. It's widely recognized throughout the sports world, obviously. The plurality of it, to me, would be game sevens, or game 7's. The "game" portion is not just the noun, the entire term "game 7" is the noun, in this case. So there is nothing wrong with pluralizing the 7 at the end, as opposed to "Game".

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Game is the noun in question, 7 is the modifier. Games 7. Like how the plural for attorney general is attorneys general.

It all depends on if you view "game 7" as a thing, in and of itself, or just the "game" as a thing. It's acceptable, grammatically, either way, IMO. Technically, if we wanted to really get into the grammar of it, it should be hyphenated as "Game-7". Since you generally hyphenate a noun with a modifier that describes it and acts as a single idea.

How big does the Kadri suspension look now? Game 7 on Bruins ice, Leafs could certainly use him in the line-up.

 

[BK]

Call me crazy but getting out of Toronto might be good for Kadri.

Hawks could use one or two players of his ilk.

I agree.

I like Kadri as a player a lot.

What would his cost be?
