And Dallas is done. So much for an entertaining Game 7 in that match-up.
Here's hoping tomorrow's Sharks/Preds game is a street-fight.

I always turn in for every game 7 hoping they will be good down to the wire hockey games. This was not it. I left dissapointed before the game was even over.

Man that Dallas/Blues game was brutal. I turned the TV on about half way through and saw it was 5-0. It's nice to see Dallas made it as far as they did, but realistically, there's no way they would've gone any further, even if they did win yesterday.
And as for the Blues... I'm not particularly a fan of them either. But, I heard on the radio today that they've been in the playoffs 41 times now... and have never won. It'd be nice to see a team like that finally get a cup.

All I meant is don't be sour that your team lost. By the end of the day, 29 teams will end up losing this year. I know people are passionate about sports (and they should be!), but at the end of the day, it's just a form of entertainment! Treat it as such! And no, I have zero desire to catch up on 10 years worth of hockey ramblings

I was bantering like we do every year. Had you been here for any time you would know that.
So as I said go back to post 1 in 2002 and get back to me.

why don't we just hug it out and be friends?

Lets start with sour, I am not sour, I know losing, I am a Ranger fan. We are original 6, the first American team to win the cup & have only won 4x. Losing is easy, normal, understood.

Hmmm not seeing a Seattle team in the NHL:

Yeah, well, Edmonton will teach you all a thing or two about losing. We will be the most losingest losers in the nhl when we're done.

You didn't say American based NHL team, you said American team. The first American team to win the Stanley cup was the Seattle metropolitans in 1917.

CUZ, YA RRY...it's not defense that's Edmonton's problem. Of course not.
Team Owner
Defense is overrated. What edmonton needs is an entire team made up of forwards and centers. Goalies are optional also. Who needs goalies when the team does nothing but shoot bullets all day everyday

If Edmonton does zip with the #4 pick and does NOT trade one of their supposed precious "core" players to get the proper d-man...I guess we can look forward to who the Failboats draft #1 overall next season then.
Team Owner
Don't be jealous, Yumcha. Edmonton is one hell of a dynasty these days. No one sucks as bad as they do. No one.

And let's be honest. A "proper d-man" won't fix shit. It's a start. But they need many more d-men than just one good one.
Senior Moderator
The "hatt" is strong here. I cannot believe a team that deliberately is this incompetent got such a gift in Connor McDavid. Edmonton does not deserve him. Unreal.
Team Owner
Yes, because I'm sure he'd be hoisting the Stanley cup over his head this year if we went to Toronto or Columbus instead
Senior Moderator
Columbus tried for broke and added to a team and for some nutbar reason, it tanked. But, at least you see what they are doing by adding to their D and acquiring Saad up front and etc.
What is Edmonton's strategy? Draft #1 overall...blow every other pick that is NOT #1 overall (except yay, Nurse and Klefbom MAYBE)...
Anyways, just defies all logic. I just don't get how a team could've been THAT bad. Even horrid teams (i.e. the Dark Ages for my Hawks in the 90s) at least flirted with being competitive and were NOT #1 overall drafting year after year after year.

What's toronto's plan?
Again, change of management. Blame the dummies (MacTavish and Lowe) of yesteryear. You also can't expect new management to come in and have a new team that very season. They need to properly review each and every player before anything moves.
They got the coach they needed. They got rid of Schultz after seeing that it wasn't the coaching staffs fault. He really was a bum. They've made some beneficial moves already, like Maroon, who although is nowhere near being a top player, he fills a much needed void, past the first two lines, that they needed. He brings the grit with occasional scoring that they need.
Now they're hunting d-men. It's no secret. But they aren't going to go and move everyone right now. That would be stupid also. They're no waiting for trade season. It's also been said loud and clear that the "core" will be broken up. No one knows who is going, but someone definitely is.
You're expecting these wild trades and big moves right off the bat, which would be nice to see, however, it would also be extremely foolish of Chiarelli to do so. He was also bound by some shitty contracts. Now he's getting the freedom he needs.
So while it may "seem" to you that they aren't doing anything, you have to give your head a shake. I'm not sure how much faster you expect change to happen. I agree- there was at least 8 seasons of shit in there. I feel we've actually started to properly rebuild about a year ago.
