He seriously reminds me of Brett Farve (as prior mentioned), only without the doucheiness. Great at his spot, but good gods does he give you heart attacks at times.

quote:

On why he was laying on his back on the ice after the Penguins scored an empty-net goal to clinch the Game 6 victory:


"I got clipped by one of their players. Everyone is asking me about that, all the shows and the video of me on the ice. I'm like, 'Guys, I swear, I got hit.' I'm waiting for the video to show the service where I got hit so I can show the boys, 'See, I told ya.' I was just so happy I tried to turn back to go celebrate with (Matt) Murray the goalie and the guy was right there and just clipped me by accident. I knew it was by accident. But yeah, the guys had a little laugh about it."

I saw Dylan McIlrath won the Calder cup with the Grand Rapids Griffins and was happy knowing he's at least found success some where. I didn't even know he was traded for a second time this season, and ended up with the Red Wings organization. But then I looked up a news article on him, and it read exactly like his time with the Rangers.

The only quotes about him were how the other players felt safe knowing a tough guy like McIlrath was one the lineup. Christ, even in the AHL he can't find an actual solid spot. I always felt he would be fine as a 3rd pair dman, or at least 7th defenseman. He even had decent stats for awhile. I'll be surprised if he sniffs the NHL ever again. Truly a first round bust, drat shame.

Hextall doesn't strike me as someone who will make trades for the sake of trades, and he's drat sure not trading the #2 pick, but I wouldn't be shocked if he was shopping a couple guys around, or considering a buyout on AMac or Read.

The Pens winning the cup sucked, but was worth it just for the entire team being juiced as hell at the parade and all the gifs of it on twitter. Dumoulin shotgunning a beer with his teeth, Maatta being so drunk he had to be held up by a guy for half the parade, Kessel signing a baby, "you sign it I chug it"

In some weird hypothetical where the Oilers were to trade for Phaneuf, they would need the Sens to eat half that cap hit since there's no way they'd trade for Phaneuf otherwise. Melnyk is too cheap to pay $3.5 mil a year for a player who isn't playing for him for 4 years.

Hey, our Admin and I have to clean up a mess our boss should've done himself two months ago and my side hustle sees a tenant being a complete douchebike, so today fuckin' sucks so far for me so let's go ahead and have some cool and fun trades because that's the best part of Summer.

I spot a change.

They changed the name font on the back of the jersey to the same font as in the stupid loving shoulder patch cannon logo they switched to two years ago. If they changed the number font as well, this is going to be garbage. :fuckoff: :ramsay:

I remember when they changed from the original "CBJ" logo to the star and burgee as the primary I was worried they'd change the nameplate/number font to whatever they'd rolled out with the team's rebrand. They left it alone, fortunately, because it looked cool and good. Don't know why, I just liked the stylized look of the names and the tall, supposed-to-be-Civil-War-looking-I-guess numbers.

Doesn't appear the case here.

He's never been to the Memorial Cup. But that's okay, let your Oilers hate blind you to obvious facts like that. :)
