KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

(the fact these guys look like tripod players make it that much...worse?)

Go gently caress yourself. There's a big loving difference between a player who chooses to engage in a contact sport and a referee who gets loving attacked.

Even with players the honess is now on the player initiating the check to not contact the head.

That was a loving assault.

"Brandon Day, a freshman defenseman for Erie Community College, was arrested and charged with assault last night after he stormed out of the penalty box to tackle a referee, leading officials to call off the rest of the NCJAA title game."

I shouldn't take things I read on twitter at face value. I don't think anyone knows what kind of no-trade protection is included, but I haven't seen anyone reputable say NMC. If there isn't no-trade protection, it actually solves a looming expansion draft issue for the Sens (who didn't have enough eligible forwards to protect their top players) - though that problem could have been solved by just re-signing Pyatt.

Aye Doc posted:

Drouin wasn't as highly regarded at the time as he is now. And Ottawa's pick at the time was in the lottery. Giving up White along with a potentially-high lottery pick would have been a really risky trade.

It's cool that they have a really established pattern of liking iffy prospects, sticking through them through several disappointing seasons despite getting good offers and then watching their value drop to 0 and below. Cowen was once worth quite a bit even after disappointing expectations pretty majorly, until such point that everyone figured out he was awful and he became a salary dump who no longer plays hockey. Lazar is the exact same deal and I think they're going to keep him.

I don't even really doubt that, but it's such a non-sense way to evaluate that kind of move. None of them have met Dahlen, players aren't going to be too upset that they traded a guy who might not be on the roster soon is gone in favour of a playoff push and the players are just going off what they heard of Burrows and saw from whenever. Like we don't have any former Canucks on the team as far as I can tell, which means at most you got guys like Methot and Ryan who played against him a few times (but not in the same division) many years ago, or Phaneuf who hasn't been in the West since 2009.

We've also added like 20 million "character" guys throughout the year and apparently we still really need another one. Half our loving team is supposed to be character guys at this point.

albert einstein

A veteran journeyman who had been part of many playoff pushes and been traded lots of times was waiting for the trade deadline to arrive.

This team had a GM that who couldn't skate backwards and was a member of the fancystats brigade. One day the GM shocked everyone by walking into the locker room, looking up and stating "Guys, if intangibles are real, I want something intangible to get in my way and stop me from walking on the logo in the middle of the floor here. I will start walking very slowly."

The GM began to take slow, deliberate steps toward the logo. When the GM was inches from the logo, the veteran got up from his seat, approached the GM and punched him in the face knocking him to the floor away from the logo, and out cold. The veteran simply went back to his seat.

The GM came to, visibly shaken and asked the veteran, “What the heck did you do that for?!”

The vet said, “Intangibles are real and grit is more important than puck possession and you never played the game you fuckin dumb nerd. Burrows is good btw”
