You used to be cool.

Edit; unless you mean Joe Sakic the GM, and not Joe Sakic, the player who God himself sent to punish, which is fair.

I hate Joe Sakic the GM. I was a fan of the 90s and early 2000s Avs.

Drifted and now I just like good hockey.

The other translation was solid, but I felt like punching it up to reflect québécois joual (and more or less typing what my family and friends are saying right now):

I'm at my wits end with this lovely soulless no-identity-having team that takes talented players and completely stifles their abilities by pairing them with inept motherfuckers like Ott and Flynn.

On top of THAT, this team is due to regress: our playmakers are getting older and there's no true phenom coming up from juniors.

gently caress it, fire everyone. Burn it down and scatter the ashes, it's time to rebuild.

HOLY HELL I AM SO FUCKIN' DONE WITH THE MONTREAL CANADIENS.

THEY. DON'T. HAVE. A. GODDAMN. CLUE.

So, how badly will you be pulling for them next year?

Not a Habs fan so I just remind my pals that there's always next year and get some solid schadenfreude from the despair on the faces of those who approved of trading PK for a "true leader".

PK didn't get his ultimate revenge by beating the Habs in the SCF, but he got his revenge all the same by outlasting his old team.

I don't think the Caps should freak out and change a bunch though. As maddening as it is you probably just keep soldiering on with that core and hope the bounces work out eventually. It's not that statistically improbable to have the playoff failures they've had.

Yeah, it's not like they lost the SCF four straight times.

Not giving Wisconsin a team is a giant travesty.

The Packers/Bears rivalry (when the Bears aren't busy being a poo poo team) is one of the best things in the midwest because the Wisconsin/Illinois rivalry is hilarious and the NHL should do something to cash in on that.

The thing is, the Hawks are the only Chicago team without a Wisconsin rival. They do not want to lose that,which is probably out never happened.

Meaning they would likely lose fans to a milwaukee team

Oilers will make the orange jersey their permanent home jersey next season. Avs are finally getting a much needed update, and I'm sure most of the others are small tweaks.

Also the Oilers are going from royal to navy blue again :barf:

That's nothing confirmed, at all. The only thing confirmed is the teams getting updates.

Here's a list of what we *hope* will be the changes to each team in the list we received. Again, these are merely predictions.
