I liked the plain croissants okay but I had one a few weeks back and they seemed to have put a little bit of sugar in top of it, which is disgusting.

So, uh, what kind of beer do you guys like/dislike?


E: eh, that's a real lovely page snipe. Uuuuuh, stars resigned Brett Ritchie for two year at 1.75 per. He's still a rfa at the end. He won't turn any heads, but he's a good depth guy with nice underlying stats and will pot like 10-maybe15 and like 20 helpers. That's, uh, news, right?

I'm not sure a winning move for a team that just won two cups is to bring in some old slow dude just because he's a cool guy.

That's like the exact opposite of what you should do and will only hasten the team's inevitable downf-- oh now I get it.

I've actually met and spoke with Sid and he doesn't come across as a brain-damaged retard. He comes across as a guy who has nothing else in his life besides hockey.

I seriously think he's gay but afraid of being gay so he does hockey instead.

Did you meet Sid or did you take a picture of a coworker meeting Sid? The distinction is important.

I met him as part of a group, he's pretty accessible and comes across as a completely normal guy except for the aspie hockey obsession.

First thing he did when he got the cup home was take it to the grocery store he shops at.

Looks like they were impressed by him in rookie camp. I guess he competes against a couple guys who have been in the AHL for a few years (Tambellini/Nieves) and maybe a veteran on a tryout, though pickings look slim there.

Fine with me, if he makes it they can do the 9 games thing? Or is he old enough for the AHL? Jensen hosed off to Russia and Hartford could probably use the help after losing Hrivik.

I'm really liking both he and Chytil. Seems like GMJG and Co did a good job.

there have already been a bunch of good ahl vet guys signed for hartford. at any rate i think andersson can play in the ahl because he's been playing in sweden.

There's no 9 game tryout for European players. He can play in the AHL straight away if the team likes. However, unless he's loaned back to Europe the first year of his ELC will be burnt up regardless of whether he plays in the NHL or AHL.

signing Andersson to an ELC is probably more or less a standard thing to help keep options open, but I'm not thinking they're expecting him to make the team. If he does, great, if he doesn't, he can go to the AHL or they can loan him back to Frolunda.

Without a contract it's just Frolunda

It seems a lot of the reputation for this year's draft came from the weakness of the Canadian junior crop this year, while there were a number of guys from Europe who were already playing in men's leagues and are more likely to be solid all-around but without elite scoring talent.

It felt like a lot of teams just didn't want to draft players from Canadian juniors, the second Canadian drafted played in a second-tier junior league, and all the Canadian commentators were talking up guys saying "look at how high he was ranked" and "this guy could be a really good NHL player ***if***" and the reasons were:
-if he could skate, but he already looked slow in juniors
-if he could score 5v5, which he couldn't in juniors
-if he could do a pullup or bench press
-if he weighed more than 140 pounds

Not that it matters since the NHL is going to be reluctant to move any teams as long as the prospect of another expansion team and the juicy $500 million fee remains tangible.
