This will eat up a portion of your day and is the kind of thing I would have made my grandparents spend $19.99 on at a bookstore in 1988. Great stuff. There's a smaller version for goalies too.

But I though McDavid was a bust?

Wow.

I love stuff like this but also can't help but get caught up in stuff like "would you really take Guentzel over Dubois/Cirelli/Seguin/etc".Ryan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 9:53 am Imaginary cross post from both The Athletic thread and the Long Reads thread.

Dig in on this. It's wild and sad all at the same time.

He's definitely got a gambling problem. I know that without reading the story.

Re: 2020-2021 NHL Regular Season Thread
He made the opening night roster. Although, I suspect that's partly due to Tyler Johnson/Luke Schenn taxi squad salary cap fuckery that doesn't allow players on waivers (or something like that) to play tonight. I think maybe there was some sort of roster deadline thing yesterday? Either way, looks like he'll be on the taxi squad at least.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.

I know this is kind of old news now, but I'm happy that I put Tony DeAngelo on my "don't draft" list when putting together my fantasy teams.

Re: 2020-2021 NHL Regular Season Thread
Everything I've seen of K'Andre makes him look like the polar opposite of DeAngelo in all ways except "Rangers defenseman". Hopefully NYR dumps the fucking racist in a second if anything pops up.

Just paid $100 for NHL.tv so I can guarantee the VGK will not make the playoffs.

I was this close to buying it and then realized 3/7 of the Pens games will be on locally, plus the national games and random other "free" games on NHL.TV or wherever and so I didn't buy it and renewed my Athletic sub instead with the pool money burning a hole in my pocket.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

Looks like DirecTV is again giving a week of free Center Ice.

Another rule I want: you can never take the puck backwards in 3 on 3 OT. Once you cross a line, whether it be center ice or a blue line, you can't take the puck back across it.

Re: 2020-2021 NHL Regular Season Thread
That would make OT ridiculous. There would be 40 stoppages in 5 minutes.degenerasian wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 9:51 pm Another rule I want: you can never take the puck backwards in 3 on 3 OT. Once you cross a line, whether it be center ice or a blue line, you can't take the puck back across it.

The Avs look like West Ham.

The black is gone. Blue helmets and gloves.

Re: 2020-2021 NHL Regular Season Thread
Something about the Avs look isn’t working despite the elite color scheme. Not sure if it’s the helmets or the pants or what.

Re: 2020-2021 NHL Regular Season Thread
One of the things I don't like about the COVID impact is the impact on Ovi's chase of Gretzky's goal record. 188 goals to tie the record. At least it is a contract year so Ovi maybe motivated (maybe not). But I am guessing he misses a few games this year due to the virus.
2 more goals and he ties one of the great Caps on the all time list
Esposito, Dionne, and Hull are all within reach this season. 60 goals to catch Cap great Jagr

He definitely looks like a 1970s porn star

You haven't watched Edmonton. This happened on the 1st and 4th goals.

Flames have not won a season opener since 2009 so I dont have high hopes.

I wonder if Kieffer Bellows hears chirping from other players that "he lays on the ice like a broad."
