ATD Chat Thread XVI

[tinyzombies]

Haha fantastic. Expansion era Pens. Yeeesh.

12-0. They weren't as bad that year though - lost to Buffalo first round. Helmetless Pen got nailed in the head at center ice as period was ending by a stupid longshot- pool of blood over Habs logo. Got a Bunny Larocque game, which I remember being upset about. Sat behind teh Habs' bench because my mother worked with a Shriner and he gave her tickets. Three months later they win the 4th Cup.

 

[ImporterExporter]

That era had a few Pens teams that played well above their heads but make no mistake, they were very void of talent. Still, hellova first game and season to start watching with.

 

[tinyzombies]

I started watching before that because my first memory is Dupont with blood running down his face just before commercial break. Must have been against the Leafs because I was in TOronto at the tiem.

Guess who in the game today has twice led the NHL in scoring in the Stanley Cup playoffs, leading all forwards in minutes played, goals scored, and game winners to the championship; the other time leading all in the NHL in playoff assists and points but in a losing cause. He twice led the NHL in regular season +/-. And hint: the 13+ year veteran has NEVER been an ATD or MLD pick! (He is in the shadow of a Canadian.)

He will this time. His health is a big issue though, and he doesn't bring much defensively (although he is responsible).

He's been picked in the MLD.

What year? (missed that)

 

[Leaf Lander]

Imo there is too much deleting posts going on

Normally we have 3 or more atd draft threads per draft

And we will....??

 

[Leaf Lander]

So I take it I'm not allowed to chime in on the draft thus why my posts are delted so often.

I'll just remain mum and do up my own thoughts offline

Thanks for the incentive

 

[The Macho King]

The amount of stupid drama and hurt feelings that come out of this process is honestly kind of nuts, and makes me question what the hell I'm doing with my life to end up around so many overly sensitive babies.

"Men", as my ex-wife used to say.

What year? (missed that)

If I'm reading my spreadsheets off my home PC from my smartphone correctly, I believe 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Useless posts being deleted are a good thing.

Nobody is removing anyone else's content. The stuff being removed, is the opposite of content

By the way can I get a copy of those spreadsheets?

Anything with actual player data on it, I'd happily share with anyone, but this particular sheet is my intellectual property. Call it a trade secret.

Shouldn't the ATD happen in the summer then? Asking for a friend.

I think the issue is having enough GMs. HF traffic decreases pretty significantly in the offseason.

 

[tinyzombies]

The Hurricanes ran out of goalies and are using a 42 year-old guy they plucked out of teh stands in Toronto. He hasn't played in a competitive game in 5 years and has let in 2 goals on 3 shots already. 4-3 Carolina. end of 2nd period. Both teams tapped him on the pads as he left the ice at the end of the period lol.

He made one nice save by mistake but lost the puck and got up. The defenseman tackled him to the ground, he fell on the puck and they got the whistle somehow.

 

[Johnny Engine]

This has been one of the strangest games I’ve ever watched, and if the Leafs win this one it shouldn’t count in the standings. That power play, yeesh.

 

[Habsfan18]

How is that not a MAJOR conflict of interest? The guy works for the Leafs organization as the Marlies zamboni driver and has even practiced with the Leafs as a goalie numerous times. That’s total bush league. The Leafs will obviously win the game and the Canes will lose 2 points in this incredibly important stretch of the season.

How do you not have another emergency goaltender in the stands that doesn’t have an affiliation with the opposing club?

The guy is wearing a f***ing Marlies mask.
