Canucks signed Drew Shore for some reason. I guess with Eriksson dead and Hansen and Burrows gone they need a warm body or two.

Good [goo d] adjective, better, best. 1. morally excellent; virtuous; righteous; pious: a good man. 2. satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree: a good teacher; good health. 3. of high quality; excellent. Carey Price is a good goaltender.

One thing to note with the all the Zach Hyman bashing and his points total compared to Matthews is that Hyman doesn't get any power play time, where Matthews has picked up about 20 of his 55 points. At 5v5 Matthews has 35, Hyman has 22, which seems perfectly reasonable.

So after the Oilers got dominated by the Habs and got lucky they didn't lose 6-1, this loving quote comes out: https://twitter.com/Sun_Tychkowski/status/841125000652369920 Like holy poo poo. That quote basically sums up how the Oilers have been playing ever since the All-Star break. They're way too complacent with where they are. They've been playing like poo poo in most of their games. They're 7-9-1 since the All-Star break, 2-4-1 in their last 7, they've gone from fighting for 1st in the Pacific to being in a wild card spot and being within striking distance of LA. They have 14 games left, 7 against the California teams and I seriously doubt they can win any one of those games. Hell, I even doubt they can win more than 1 of the 3 games they have against Vancouver right now. Like, gently caress. This team is just so loving bad right now and they're going to miss the playoffs yet again after having a playoff spot for the entire season. And even if they do make it they'll just get swept by whoever they face.

However, the habs also outshot the oilers in every period (and were bad on the power play again but oh well Chucky clutch as frig) Edit: I guess you are referring to the two empty net goals though lol.

Norway now has a hockey world record that I doubt ever will be beaten. A game went to 8 OT. An 8,5 hour game. 217 minutes of active game time. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/6fe2c9cc0a8b4353bb78ec83b80d6edc/norwegian-hockey-teams-play-record-8-overtime-periods Norwegian story (google translated): https://translate.google.com/transl...t-text=&act=url And they only have one day off before the next game.

It's supposed to be best of 7, not 7 games in one  Turned it off sometime in 5 OT. Mostly because by then it was like watching zombies on the ice. I feel sorry for the refs. The same 4 guys out there throughout the entire game.

A lot of people are saying it's a weak class but I think a lot of that is because 2013-2016 were all relatively strong drafts with multiple guys who were rightfully pegged as being impact NHL players. The best guy this year is someone who would have gone somewhere around 10th in last year's draft, which isn't bad when you think about it. I think there are definitely some interesting prospects out there (I'm really interested to see what happens with Kailer Yamamoto for example) but it's a down year, which I suppose had to come along eventually.

You think Nolan Patrick would have gone 10th last year? I sincerely doubt that. 6 ft 3 and scored 100 points last year. He'd have easily been top 5.

You're right, now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the consensus among scouts is he would have been somewhere in the 5-10 range if he was eligible last year. 100% behind Matthews, Laine, Puljujarvi, and DuBois, and you could make a case for the other guys in that range, like Tkachuk or Nylander, over him too.

Honestly, it's not a great draft but I think people are using the lack of top end talent to colour their perception of it as a whole. An astute GM would load up on picks in the first two rounds just because their value is so much lower than in other years. There are enough players in the mid first round to mid second round that it should produce a few NHLers. Plus there are a number of guys that aren't getting nearly enough credit for their play, particularly Nicolas Hague (a 6'6' defenceman with 18g 45pts in 61 games) and Jason Robertson (6'2 LW who's about to hit 40g and is 25pts ahead of anyone else on his team) who will probably change the perception of this draft in a few years. Then again, the strength of a draft lives and dies by its top guys and this year it's certainly deficient in that regard.Ginette Reno posted:You think Nolan Patrick would have gone 10th last year? I sincerely doubt that. 6 ft 3 and scored 100 points last year. He'd have easily been top 5. He was a few days short of the cut off for the 2016 draft, and had he been eligible last year he'd probably have gone 5 at best. Matthews, Laine and Puljujarvi were all clearly ahead of him and Dubois had a late surge and ended up going third. I'd probably choose Patrick over Dubois today and then, but it's pretty close and that's hardly a ringing endorsement of him.

Levitate posted:why wouldn't resellers just raise the price they resell for unless I'm missing something. If there's demand then people will still pay That's the thing. The secondary market is making money on the discrepancy between face value and what the market will bear. If people are willing to pay $300 a ticket, it doesn't matter what the secondary market pays for them, as long as it's far enough below $300 to be worth their while. If the leafs raise their price less than the "worth their while" variable, it won't affect the secondary market price at all because the supply and demand curves do not change.

This is excellent micreconomic theory but in practice resellers will just raise the prices and the "fans" they're talking about still won't able to afford the tickets. In fact they'll be even more out of reach. e: In micro terms, hockey tickets to the Maple Leafs are inelastic goods.

Demand should be up now that the leafs aren't the worst team in the league anymore. Fans can afford to pay a little more now since they don't have to throw their jerseys onto the ice.

Which is still fine. There's an upper limit at which 20000 people are willing to buy tickets and I'm totally fine with the team raising prices to that level. Whether the team charges $1 or $1000 doesn't really affect how much fans are paying anyways.
