A Team Canada Yanni Gourde jersey would be a safer bet.


No reason to buy it, I already have one

Oh yeah so I j gave a presentation in my Oral Communications class about the history of NHL participation in the Olympics and absolutely nailed it (although I probably bore everyone in the class to death cuz I’m literally the only one who cares ab hockey in my college)

By the way sorry for my whole personality lately being a college student lowkey I use these forums to rant ab it sometimes

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

So you’re telling me you’re keeping Kero, Comeau, Glendening, Raffl, Dellandrea and Back over Kiviranta who scored a hatty vs the Avs to give us the series, and don’t even use waiver exemption as an excuse Back, Dellandrea and Oettinger are all waiver exempt and are all worth more than Kiviranta and Peterson in terms of cap hit.

Edit: I didn’t even see Dellandrea there, I could name you 10 players in our AHL team more deserving than him to be on out opening night roster. I swear to god if I ever see Nill I’ll Tyson Fury his @ss.

Double edit: this is the reason why I put my expectations for this team so incredibly low so I don’t get disappointed, yet they still find a way to disappoint me.

Triple edit: I swear to god I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded Wyatt Johnston and our 2022 first round pick for Leo Komarov.

Quadruple edit: I’m praying that this has to do with the cap situation and not what it’ll look like, because if this is what it looks like then f*ck my life.

Oh, after we have a project comparing 1984 to Trump ( I’m dead serious ) so you might want to rethink that sentence, not going to go in much more detail


Yeah, the Donald is not the one cancelling and ruining the life of anyone disagreeing with him

Btw, a few weeks back we talked about creating a Reddit page where we could take politics... I created the page but I didn't get any news. I wanted to know if anyone is still interested, cause I am. Tell me if you are smile

I mean I for one have started caring less and less where he goes, and just that he gets his surgery and gets the hell out of Buffalo.

Only my burning desire for his destination to be Calgary, instantly vaulting us from pretender to contender. Other than that, no, not really

Geez. I seriously hope Nill and Bowness know what they're doing, because this is looking fairly unorthodox. Maybe they saw something other Stars fans didn't during the preseason.

I think what they’re trying to do is get as close to the cap as possible to maximize Bishop’s LTIR usage or something like that, but I did the calculations and if you send down Oettigner, Dellandrea and Back (all waiver exempt), and call up Kiviranta, Peterson and Gardner you’re actually closer to the cap so it doesn’t make sense.

Would be pretty unlikely considering how poor their recent playoff performances have been.

I put them topping the Metropolitan in the regular season but I think they'll flop once again when the playoffs are due.

I genuinely don’t know, you can’t predict what a person with dementia will do.

And yes get that beating stick, I’ll join in with mine too.
