By Jennings? It's horrible. Can't believe they're making you read such garbage. Unfortunately, I can't get into why (political, again). Suffice it to say your professor/teacher must be a leftist.
Go to where A_Habs_fan is, where they make you read 1984. There's a masterpiece of literature.


Yeah that one, probably gonna find SparkNotes or CliffNotes or something like that on it. I just don’t have time to read the book when the report is due Thursday and I have a LOT of other stuff this week

Today I believe. Opening rosters are due tomorrow. Players have to be on waivers today to be off the roster tomorrow.

At least Brett Connolly didn’t make the team would’ve been better if Stan traded him before the preseason but it’s something

Ottawa, Buffalo, Detroit, Vancouver , Arizona , Chicago ,Edmonton should all put in a claim. I think he’s a lock to be a solid middle 6 guy and his contract is great

William Eklund pisses me off.

Not many people may follow Sharks preseason (can’t blame yah) - but Eklund is currently my front runner for the Calder tbh. And I hate it. I do not want Eklund to get hurt, I pray he survives. He is so small it is obvious when he’s on the ice. He’s slight in frame but he’s so gifted, Couture used the Patrick Kane comparison. Just a guy who never puts himself in a terrible position and knows how to evade defenders while also putting himself in good positions. But I wish he was able to put on size before a full 82game season. However if Eklund does end up burning his 10 games elc/ 25 game rookie; I think he has a easy shot at a Calder nom. The kid plays like a tenured pro; which is why I wish he was able to put on size 🥲🥲🥲 because this kids legit.



OH AND ALSO I HOPE SILLINGER POPS OFF FOR CBJ. That kids so sick. I’ve said it 8 million times; he and Eklund are the steals of the draft imo. And coincidentally they’re both the only 2021 rookies for this year playing.

McTavish is still on the roster so far, isn't he?

I read a tweet saying they’re the only two basically locked for the opening night, so I could be wrong using that “quote”

I assume we’ll see some guys join later in the year tho

I think that's slightly misleading. At least 10 of his 15 games was with Palat and Point last season (2 defensively responsible forwards). He more-or-less looked like a passenger on their line most of the time. His offense should eventually be what he's known for.

It's not a bad contract in a nutshell but the Rangers cap structure is weird.

It won’t age well and I don’t think Zibanejad should’ve gotten more than 7 mill

I am trying to put together an AGM that has the standings predictions for the website as a whole. So far we've gotten some people to submit results, but could definitely use some more.

Here are the links:

Atlantic

Metropolitan

Pacific

Central
