It's good for the league and the health of their opponents that Columbus has improved. I'm glad they're a better team now. But I still want them to lose because of Torts, Dubinsky and Hartnell.

Plenty of Columbus fans on the internet were all over Tortorella for abandoning their style of play from the regular season in favor of throwing a lot of hits in the first two games. Whether he was trying to jump-start the team after a stretch of poor play at the end of the season or he was just being an idiot (or both!) is anyone's guess. Whether they had an untimely slump or they were just regressing to their actual talent level is another question. They rang up a bunch of bad shots, threw too many hits, and they actually did get some lucky bounces for goals. I don't see any evidence that they should have been better than they were with the exception of Bobrovsky's play and he's been known to have stretches of really bad play in the past. At least Tortorella only embarrassed himself with his coaching instead of having himself another little media meltdown.

People's names actually have meaning and historical context which create a shared culture. Then you get a generation that traded culture for empty consumerism giving their children made up bullshit names because of their own narcissism. They're also all really singsongy and twee. It's not just different, it's different for a lovely reason.

Finally seeing Ovie and Kuz and Holtby and a bunch of others in at least a conference final would have been wonderful. Dumbasd seeding method. It's actually really great that they beat both of those teams.

My only criticism of the powerplay is that they are very inconsistent with their zone entries. They almost always look threatening when they establish possession, though.

Vegas does need to hit the salary floor so they have to take some players with salary and guys like Rust don't really help there.

# ¿ Jun 18, 2017 22:25 |

Wow, yeah that's pretty low. I do think that Rust is more replaceable than a guy like Hornqvist, though.

glynnenstein posted:At some point after the draft they have to get it up higher so there could still be trades, but they don't have to think about salary so much during their draft. I don't know what the date is where they have to hit the league-wide floor; maybe 1st day of the season. Somehow I have been reading about the expansion draft for a year and managed to forget this stuff.

From another angle, picking MAF gets you a charismatic dude to put on billboards and trot out in front of the media. I don't know if that's something Vegas would actually factor in, but it's a consideration I've seen thrown around. Plus the three cups looks good in that regard.

Fleury's career is 912, those are career playoff stats.

Sundqvist didn't translate his game in the NHL at all in the opportunities he was given so I find it hard to care one way or another about that deal. The swapping of picks is whatever.

Sullivan is either going to squeeze more value out of Reaves than anyone else ever has or scratch him so much he gets traded.

grack posted:Giving up a first round pick to get a markedly worse player is pretty goddamned stupid. It is, but dropping 20 spots in a draft isn't a future-defining moment for a team like the Penguins, while the other teams should be building.
