I'll shoot the Leafs if they sign Stamkos. It makes zero sense and goes against everything they've been doing

I can't pick a damn winner in either series.

I don't think they will want a 31 team league for long. They are more than likely aiming for 32.

Emperor Smeat 06-22-2016 04:42 PM

NHL announced Las Vegas is officially joining the league after next season along with them getting to pick 3rd in every round of next year's draft except the 1st round.

Going to cost the new team around $500 million for the expansion fee.

Apparently Las Vegas needs to come up with a new name for the team since their trademark got denied.

Shared too many similarities with a trademark held by a different sports team.

Quote:

A USPTO document made its way across the Internet on Wednesday evening detailing the rejection of Black Knight Sports and Entertainment’s (the company owned by Vegas team owner Bill Foley) attempted trademark. The reason for the denied request? The Vegas mark shares too many similarities with The College of Saint Rose Golden Knights.

Bruins fired Claude Julien as their head coach today.

road doggy dogg 02-07-2017 11:00 PM

still a bit of a shocker though

Emperor Smeat 02-07-2017 11:08 PM

Bs management are still slimeballs.

Didn't want any immediate backlash from it so they timed it to be announced when the Pats were doing their championship parade. Figured most people would only care or find out about it later.

Then when the parade had to be delayed, something suddenly came up for the Bs that they had to delay their press conference. Just so happens whatever caused the Bs delay managed to get resolved right when the Pats parade resumed.

road doggy dogg 02-07-2017 11:10 PM

lol that's actually kind of hilarious

I still think it's odd to dump a coach when your team is in a playoff spot and he has by all accounts been a great coach for Boston

I get that sometimes you need a change of scenery and sometimes the coach's message starts falling on deaf ears (see: Babcock), but wait til the season is over at least imo

Emperor Smeat 02-07-2017 11:19 PM

Yeah he pretty much got fired now because they no longer hold a playoff spot.

Was only a matter of time till they lost it because of how many more games they played compared to the Leafs and them being way too mediocre overall. Might have been able to last till the end of the season if the schedule was more balanced in terms of games played.

Metropolitan division being really competitive this year doesn't help either since they probably are going to take both wild card spots left.

road doggy dogg 02-07-2017 11:21 PM

The schedule this year has been so fucking weird. At one point the Bruins had like 6 or 7 games played more than a team like Toronto. Meanwhile, the Leafs for no reason had over a week off in their schedule. Stupid NHL

Coyotes denying rumors of them scouting Seattle and Portland as possible future locations for the team. Supposedly the team was scouting arenas in those two cities during the same time of trying to get an arena deal done with Arizona State which recently failed.

The Hanzal trade is a bit of a head-scratcher too. Great player but MIN gave up a lot for him. He's a UFA after this year too. I get that MIN is all-in right now and didn't want to give up any of their highly touted prospects but man, seems expensive.

Alexander Ovechkin has NO RIGHT at all to know what it's like to win a Cup, and to try to execute a pro-Russia political coup over the NHL....which I'm sure NBC won't mind, cause the U.S. is taking it up their asshole from Russia too. > = (

Because I've studied the patterns of how the playoffs have shaken out since 1994, and I can see what's coming.

That being, the last 2 teams from here being eliminated in Round 2, in series they have no control or say over.

Edmonton can only win if they injure several Anaheim players out of the playoffs, and same with Ottawa against New York. I mean the type of injuries that would sicken someone in the UFC.

Broken necks, broken legs, concussions, caved in eye sockets...you know, highly destructive shit.

It'd warm my heart to see the side of Lundqvist's head opened up and bleeding everywhere. A little gorn in the NHL never hurts...especially when it's a U.S. team doing the fucking bleeding.
