OT: Out of Town Thread; Anywhere but here...

[Adam Michaels]

Both Edmonton and Vancouver have given up big leads (2 and 3 goals) tonight.

Experienced tankers right there. We could learn from those guys.

Well, Habs have lost 14 of their last 19 (since January). They only got 9 points out of a possible 38 in those games. Not too shabby of tankers themselves.

So they are meeting expectations.

On here in September I predicted if Price gets injured the Habs will finish 31st.

If he stays healthy, but does not stand on his head they are a bottom 5 lottery team.

Not like I was going way out on a limb here. One only had to look at the rosters 6 D and 12 forwards.

Did some research, I took all the bottom teams (Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton, Vancouver, Buffalo, and Arizona) and looked at their records since January. Here are the results:

ARIZONA - 18GP (7-5-6) = 20 pts of a possible 36
BUFFALO - 21GP (7-11-3) = 17 pts of a possible 42
OTTAWA - 21GP (7-13-1) = 15 pts of a possible 42
MONTREAL - 20GP (5-10-5) = 15 pts of a possible 40
VANCOUVER - 21 GP (7-12-2) = 16 pts of a possible 42
EDMONTON - 20GP (7-12-1) = 15 pts of a possible 40

Habs are tank masters in their own right. When Alzner, Benn, and Morrow are on your Top-4, you're one of the best at being the worst.

When you get sad about a tank night not going well - remember this.

Bergevin will still be our GM.

He had the third overall pick and forced him to the wing, jerked him around and is now shopping him.

He had 9th overall and traded it for a lesser player in a lesser position then forced him into the position that the 3rd overall is suited for.

Whatever he gets in this draft will either be the wrong pick, mishandled or traded for a lesser player.

Cheer for humiliation so that next season he has to be fired. The tank is fruitless so long as he heads the decision making of the franchise.

Honestly, you can't make this crap up.

 

[WinterLion]

Phanuef 3 goals in 4 games with Kings.

At least we might get our 4th back

 

[MaxDummy]

Love the guy's reaction^^

Lol wtf Subban

 

[DXStriker]

Man someone said above about our top 4 including Benn Morrow and Alzner and i cried a little .
Markov was too old right Bergy lol
Our D is so much better than last year

Brian Burke Gets Legless in Latvia: Party plane pisse artistes exposed! | Frank Magazine Ottawa

Wonder of this report on Burke will get much traction.

As we all learned during the poonerman era, Burke isn’t afraid to sue for libel, so I suspect the reporting on this is solid. Frank is often willing to get dirty when the msm will not.

 

[The Great Weal]

Maroon isn't at practice.

 

[G0bias]

Galchenyuk therapy day. Maroon not at practice. Bergevin's Magnum Opus?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Karlsson being traded by the deadline makes me sad because I have a hard time believing we'd be able to top that tank, especially if tank commander Price has a concussion.

I guess we should say.............Tanks MB!!

Good call by the way!

Who needs Markov, Radulov, Beaulieu, Emelin... Tanks, MB!! lol

Especially since what Ottawa's reported asking price includes about 7 pieces + taking on Bobby Ryan at full cap hit.

He knows we all want it, so he's getting it ready just for us. Always finish a trilogy with a bang.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Fun!
Just a bunch of back up goalies, bottom pairing dmen and forwards getting traded.

 

[c3z4r]

That's honestly a great trade for the Kings. I've always liked Rieder, ideal 3rd liner imo. I'm actually surprised Kuemper returned that much, even with an extension in place, especially considering he's shown to not be starter quality in Minnesota.

Guess this gives me hope for a Lindgren trade in a couple years.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Seriously, Sportsnet? Isn't every call he makes an outgoing call?

 

[mariolemieux66]

The Chicago and Ottawa game is pretty bad. As bad as us.

 

[Roke]

I'm surprised Cheveldayoff is able to make outgoing phone calls. He's the closest thing there is to PensionPlanPuppet's Potato GM.

 

[SquiddFX]

Seriously, Sportsnet? Isn't every call he makes an outgoing call?

No. Maybe he needs to call Timmins to see if he wants to hit the gym.

No wait nevermind that's Bergy

 

[Adam Michaels]

No one like Eklund.
