Around the NHL XXXVII

I don't know if I'll be able to watch this TBH

I am rooting for Colorado to get that #1 pick, because why not?

Best way to keep that pick in the west, I hope they win it.

That, and the fun of if Dorion gets a bunch of questions asked about it. I mean I know the answers, but still having to have him address it will be funny.

Is it wrong for me to hope that whatever Col gets is a huge bust???I mean that Col fanbase has been quite trollish about the whole thing

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

It ****ing annoys me that the Panthers just acquired Quenneville and may possibly get both Bob and Panarin in the offseason, yet the Sens cant even spend money to keep the one of the best players they have ever had.

Miami does sort of have their own Sens in the Miami Marlins. You want to talk about POS owners...

I don't think any fanbase is really any different. If things turned around and we were getting Colorado's potential #1 overall pick you know there would for sure be some people who would be obnoxious about it. That's life on the internet. May as well just try and let it go.

I'm kind of hoping for Colorado to win. Doesn't affect us one bit now and it'll at least be something to add to the ridiculousness of this season. The only question left will be who plays Dorion in the movie about this all?

All i know is i am starting the Sharkswatch thread for next season.

Lose Sharks Lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Hey guys. I didn't want to start another thread. I'm trying to explain what went on with Ottawa over the last 2 years to a non hockey friend. Do any of you have a link to the list of events that one writer posted a few months ago?

Don't mean to throw salt in the wound just want to show him how much of a dick Melnyck is.

Hang in there.

Outdated, but that is a starting point....

I loaded up on Bruins in my playoff hockey pool, because watching the Leafs lose is still fun.

Bruins, Bolts, Flames, and Blues are all I got.

I feel like chance probability and the results of random events are one of those things the socialised human brain is just not capable of understanding, like trying to imagine the universe before the universe.

When did Melnyk tell Brent Wallace that he'd "bury him"? I missed that one completely.

Outdoor game I believe, "allegedly"

I saw his last game and he was dominant on the ice without really exerting himself.

Mobility elsewise looked great. I'm sure he's gonna go supernova again this playoffs.
