Little Caesars is good pizza if you're a college student and don't have a ton of money for food. At least, that's my personal experience.

It's a pretty good example for coaches to demonstrate why you never pass blind, ever. See it all the time in beer league, not sure why a paid professional is trying that poo poo.

Also if you get that close to the goalie with the puck you loving shoot it.

Pretty much. Little Caesar's had a location within walking distance of one of my buddies in college so it was super convenient when we all got high as balls to get pizza.

It wasn't even some awesome tricky drop pass, he just kinda spun and softly left the puck there.

The coyotes ended up getting gagner by way of tampa too. I think it's mostly because of the weird hard cap on salary in nba trades, so you have to ship off dead weight at the same time you're bringing a star in

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I would classify the Gagner deal has two seperate deals. He was traded to Tampa, and then they traded him an hour later. I don't remember it being reported as a 3-team deal at the time.

Kilza posted:

The most recent NHL 4 team trade happened during the 2009 NHL trade deadline:
Kings get: Justin Williams (CAR)
Canes get: Erik Cole (EDM), EDM 5th 2009 (EDM), CGY 2nd 2009 (LA)
Oilers get: Patrick O'Sullivan (LA), Ales Kotalik (BUF)
Sabres get: CAR 2nd 2009 (CAR)

Like above, I am going to sound pedantic, but the Kotalik for a 2nd was a separate deal. Edmonton had acquired the 2nd round pick in the 3-team deal, and then used it shortly after to trade for Kotalik. The pick was then used by Buffalo to trade for Dominic Moore, because I think this was the year that everyone expected the draft to be poo poo, so middling players got higher draft picks than normal.

The Oilers, like most things they did until last season, made two bad deals. O'Sullivan still had his shiny prospect glow on him, and while he flamed out of the NHL for off-ice reasons, he still didn't amount to anything while in an Edmonton uniform. Kotalik was a UFA at the end of the season, and left to go be bad in New York and Calgary.

I had no idea there were players named Slavin OR Pesce in the NHL. The Canes really fly under the radar huh.

The Canes 'fly under the radar' because they are incredibly loving cheap and never spend to the cap, a fact that Jim Rutherford trashes them for. They tied his hands when he managed there. $5.4m for a nobody defenseman seems like a stupid "quit calling me cheap" impulse measure.

Jim Rutherford gave Cam Ward a 6 x $6.3M (2010 dollars) contract.

Jim Rutherford also has back-to-back Stanley Cups in the salary cap era, which means that I'll trust his judgment over that of anyone currently working for the Hurricanes.

ASU hockey has a few games at gila river arena and they host the tournaments there but mostly they play at oceanside ice which is a public rink that seats maybe 150

edit: and the proposed asu/coyotes arena deal would have a big hockey arena for the coyotes and a smaller one that would be better than asu's current location and also used for coyotes practices.

Isn't Austin Lemieux going to ASU this year? He was just at rookie camp for the Penguins.

I don't think it's about not spending to the cap, it's more about a team that simply didn't have the talent and needed to build through the draft to get the necessary talent to fill their lineup (which they're looking to do right about now).

That, and a decade-long goaltending disaster.
