Corey Perry got extremely drunk and started talking poo poo about how the Blackhawks got off easy for the stuff they covered up.


Until we know the whole story which will 100% be something awful and not actually what I suggested, I will choose to believe my make believe fantasy land story.

I still want him to have gotten fired for talking poo poo about the sexual assault cover-up. He can do that in an alcohol-fueled incident. Good Guy Drunk Creepy Rory is possible.

speaking of the Chicago Blackhawks holy gently caress are Celebrini and Eiserman tearing up their draft years, you could be looking at Eichel/Matthews/Hughes type guys there (maybe Celebrini more than Eiserman, but man even if you get like a better Caufield)

Levshunov, Demidov, Helenius and Dickinson look really promising too, seems like a strong top end again at the very least in this draft

putting all my hopes in Kiviharju though because I want to see him do that funny rear end fake toe drag he was dominating with when he was 13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM4azWPDwEU

It's enough for the Blackhawks, a team that whether you like them or believe them or not is currently desperately trying to distance itself, and portray internal processes change from the poo poo they let slide for a decade.

Also there are alot of bad events that could happen at a work Christmas party, a number of those that would extremely be worthy of exile.

Unless he straight up punched someone at the event, doesn't he have an out of "yeah, I did it. I've got a drinking problem, pay me for rehab and you can't say poo poo about it".

Yeah it’s an interesting call up. Might just be since he is one of the older more developed waiver-exempt guys and he can handle sitting in the press box/moving up and down to Hartford for cap purposes (which seems to be the case tonight) but I hope they give him some games. Let the big boy play.

He passed waivers so every other team passed on him, and word would certainly be out among those teams management

So either it is the mom thing or its something so horribly offensive but still legal (maybe whoeever guessed he walked on the logo is right)

Why would you claim him on unconditional waivers when you know he's getting the contract terminated and you could possibly sign him for less? If you wanted to of course.

I dont' think Edstrom is really a big hitter physical type but he really is a good skater. In preseason etc I remember watching him and thinking how in the world is that guy 6'6 and moves that well. Still more of a 4th line type (I think he has a bunch of EN goals in the AHL that are inflating his points totals) but could be a good solid 4th liner who does a lot of things and can play a physical, if not punishing, game.

Columbus should very well be on a five game win streak.

They also should have at least 26 points.

Instead, they have 18 points, and the difference is no one between Pascal Vincent, Steve McCarthy, Jared Boll, Mark Recchi, and Josef Boudemienneennne can figure out how to coach this team to not blow leads or ties with 5 minutes or less to go in the third. :ramsay:
