That top part you said made me laugh out loud because it’s so true. Great job. Go dye your hair


“Man you look like a flamingo out there” is a weird one that I remember hearing on the ice and just dying on the bench a few years back.

Always a good time with the most random **** said.

Noticed after switching to the French version of the site (since I’m tryna improve my French recently) - this side just looks a little cleaner.

Yeah, I noticed there are French forums and English forums. You can't access this one unless you go through your notifications.

Taking the BOTTOM 6 teams:

Philly (6th last)
Buffalo
Seattle
Ottawa
Arizona
Montreal (Last)

I think its quite interesting for the Shane Wright sweepstakes because - there are some REALLY good situations for him to join. But.. there's also some pretty bad situations he could join.

Best Situations Ranked (going with my gut, not really thinking):

1. Ottawa
Shane Wright, in the capital, would be a insane fit.

Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson (an actual top line)
Stutzle - WRIGHT - Formenton
White - Pinto - CBrown

Thats a lethal lineup for the Sens (hoping they keep CBrown). Stutzle not only stays at LW (which I prefer for him) - but more importantly Timmy gets some real help and it looks like hes developing some chemistry with Formenton which is a lethal duo. The Sens then add a healthy, TOP prospect in Pinto - on 3C. I mean the Sens immediately become a playoff team imo. Adding Sanderson (on D) and having a full clean slate next year with Shane Wright (and Pinto). Thats heaven for the Sens.

2. Buffalo
Ima keep this short and sweet. Take a look at the Sabres prospect pool/ AHL team - add Shane Wright. THATS A WRAP.
Seriously would make losing Eichel water off their back (now just don't make Wright the next Eichel situation lol).

3. Montreal
Montreal just saying "Shane Wright" at the draft (with fans) will probably wipe the memories of 2021 for the Habs fanbase. Adding Shane Wright makes the Habs some flexiblity in terms of movie some money out and loading up with Suzuki, Caufield, Wright and mixing them in with the veterans they keep. But its not a easy solve, they need to move SOME money out and we'll see AL and Chiarot leave soon - probably go..?

Toffoli -Suzuki - CC
Gallagher - Dvorak - Hoffman
Armia - Wright - Anderson
Evans
(Idk habs lines sue me)
I mean a healthy lineup and some fixes on defence and Montreal will have a super annoying forward depth (and they have a literal ton of prospects lying around to join the team soon)

4. Seattle
Poverty franchise. But Beniers and Wright are a future to be excited over.

5. Arizona
Wright is gonna play infront of, AT MAX CAPACITY, 5000 fans at home games lmfao. What a NHL experience.

6. Philly
I have no idea what this team is. Or is gonna be.

I feel the Coyotes (despite the issues) are in desperate need of Wright to make their franchise relevant

Would also shift media focus from small arena and bad finances to oh look at Wright go

As when was the last time we heard any good news surrounding the organization

Cause so far its cheating GMS, Loss of Picks, Poor Finances, and being forced to play in a University Arena with a capacity of 5000 among other things.

My bet is Matthews. He's got the skill to pull it off, I think he's tried it once? He's definitely faked it, and then just passed it to Nylander for a tap-in once. I reckon he pulls it off next. Either that or Mikael Granlund, the OG lacrosse goal scorer (did it at the WJC, Finland turned it into a stamp lol), reminds everyone exactly who the king of the lacrosse move is


Good times. As a Finn I can remember the whole nation batsh*t crazy after that one. Every kid in the nation started to practice that one afterwards.

I think I have one of those stamps actually too lol.

Small correction, it wasn't in the WJC. It was against adults. Granlund himself were only 19 though which made it even more epic.

especially with ducharme.
even if the canadiens get wright you can probably expect

Evans - Dvorak - Anderson
Lehkonen - Wright - Suzuki
Toffoli - Pitlick - Gallagher
Armia - Poehling - Lehkonen


...honestly i made this as a joke but it seems kinda like something ducharme would do now that i look at it

Sabres would line up like this

Skinner - Thompson - Tuch
Krebs - Cozens - Ollofson
Mittelstadt - Wright - Quinn

That's an ideal position for Wright IMO. But Playing next to Stuetzle I'd defiently the best case.

Why put all the experienced guys at the same line and the young ones too? I'd divide it a bit more. Would be hard to develop prospects if they only had other prospects to play with.

The approach reminds me of NYR a bit...and prospect development wise that ain't really working properly.

I'd like to think Habs are trying to play a mastermind trick at the next draft with that potential first overall pick. They'd deal it to ARI in exchange to their 2023 1st rounder and that Canes pick and then in 2023 Habs draft both Bedard and Michkov.

Now there would be some youth to build around.

So why exactly I forced myself to get up at 4 AM only to watch Stars getting slaughtered.

This is not the way they should've respected Zubov's night.
