The bigger problem is that most of the Canadian teams are managed by morons

NHL

You got Aquaman, Katz, and Melnyk alone in Canada. The Leafs and Flames spent a decade in the wilderness. Etc, etc

You forgot when they lost to the Canadiens I think in 2010 or something, the year they first won the presidents cup and got over 120 points.

Yeah, but the Habs are not the Penguins or Rangers. The Caps as a franchise only exist to get eliminated by those two franchises

Speaking of Pierre, I think he would be an alright GM? He does do his research and knows way too much about juniors prospects. Being a insufferable dickhead would be bad tho

How many ECHL'ers do you know of in the NHL?
It's starting to be a thing, but that's more because of people like Kyle Dubas who view it as an important weeding out point.

As an aside, it's not that long ago that people on this very forum insisted that the Islanders were cool and good, when they are in fact from Long Island, which is basically a civil engineering shrine to Robert Moses' Segregated Utopia.



There are no heroes, only lesser villains.

I thought that was Staten Island

When Kovy left at back when, I remember reading that he would need unanimous approval from the owners to come back.

There's no way the Flyers let him go to a division rival without a bribe

Yeah if those 80's Oilers team have a glaring weakness it's that their goaltending is the shits. I think Grant Fuhr is the most overrated goalie ever, quite possibly.

Grant Fuhr worked because the Oilers could always outscore the other team, no matter how many they gave up
