Oh, just realized the Flyers have jumped into the #LoseforHughes Tankfest.

That would explain why they fired their coach.


Well, also because their coach was mediocre at best. This is probably the most deserved firing of the year so far.

Flames/Stars is one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen.

Like EVERY call the refs have bothered to make has been wrong. And a bunch of things that should have been calls were just ignored/missed. And it's not even biased against either team really, they're being equally stupid on both sides.

Wild decided to tank for some reason. Maybe there's time to decide which team they want to be: Fringe first rounder or early draft team...

Probably neither.

Yeah, the Wild are one of those teams in basically the absolute worst position in hockey - not good enough to be a contender, but not bad enough to be in rebuild mode. Basically hockey purgatory. See also: Montreal, NY Islanders, Carolina.

I'm mildly nervous that the Hawks' recent burst of competence might put them on a run that takes them out of the Hughes sweepstakes.

eh, its not just about getting the #1 pick though, it's a whole attitude

I actually think getting Hughes might not be the best thing for Chicago. Because then they definitely won't rebuild. They'll think "Oh good now we have Hughes, he can plug in nicely with Kane and Toews and Keith and Seabrook so we don't need to get rid of anybody now! Problem solved." But the problem won't be solved. The Hawks problems go much deeper than any one skilled offensive player can solve.

You could give them McDavid for free and they still wouldn't be a contender this year.

*Although if you gave them McDavid AND a goalie...

Also, one of the most underreported stories in the league is how quietly Boston has demoted Tukka Rask and made Jaroslav Halak their #1 goalie.

As someone who owns Rask in TWO fantasy leagues, I am very much aware of this issue :(

As someone who knows that the Bruins are the worst team is professional sports, I've been waiting for the Rask decline and am very upset that literally Halak was able to slide in there and play just as well.

Right, the Blackhawks would definitely need some of these blueline prospects to pan out if they want to get another run in with Toews and Kane.

They might have a successor to Crawford in Collin Delia, but way too early to tell.

Even then, there's a difference between, for example, Joe Bowen and Jack Edwards when it comes to "appeals to home fans".

A Bruins player could murder an opposing team's player and Jack wouldn't see anything wrong with it, then he'd have an aneurysm if there was the slightest amount of retaliation. Calls go the same way.

The Raptors team in my biased opinion is the best in the NBA because even though they obviously want the Raptors to win, they'll always call out good/bad calls on either side.

The Leafs came back from a two goal deficit, then after going down again tied it with 7 seconds left and won in OT.

That tying goal really displayed what a liability Kronwall has been out there. 10 seconds left and he just dishes the puck out to the defenseman at the point instead of clearing the zone or smothering it into the corner.

Also Bernier does a Bernier and lets in a real weak goal. Ugh.

Yes but are they still affixing numbers to them, or are they just doing them by years, or.... is each new installment titled exactly the same

Edit: ok I just googled and apparently it's 30. Sounds about right, lol

!!!!

Per wikipedia:

Number 30 will be the last.

I will miss doing it. I loved working with Tim on it for all these years. The only time I was happier was when I used to go see him play hockey, said Don. I want to thank all of the fans supporting it and the players who are in the videos too. A lot of them are grandfathers now in their 50s themselves.

yfw the ending of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em reminds you that, someday, Don Cherry will also not be around...

Seguin and Benn are probably tradeable. Parise and Suter aren't, with those contracts.

And it's weird how the Stars and the Wild are basically in the exact same situation (mediocre teams that can't contend but also aren't going to be getting any better anytime soon) but in exactly the opposite ways - Dallas has a few big stars who are underperforming, Minnesota has a group of mediocre nobodies who aren't becoming stars.

The Stars get a big win tonight (though not much in the way of contributions from their top two guys). I'm guessing the whole team got a little fired up about that to some degree.

And with that game, it's another loss for Detroit too. Just two wins in the last eleven games for them. Which makes it all the more amazing that Larkin's on a 13-game point streak currently.

Patrick Kane seems like he's ready to will the Blackhawks into the playoffs himself.

Tricky thing about trying to tank when you have generational talents on the team - sometimes the Hall of Famers decide to go on a tear.
