Lateralous

I voted Vesey. I feel like he'll score 3-4 goals in the first two weeks and be waived by Thanksgiving.

I too remember being super excited about the Fire and Ice Lounges when i first saw the renderings and being pretty disappointed with the actual final product.

I too am an architect and I literally spend my entire day the last few month fielding calls about change orders for insane material price increases and shipping delays. It's a crazy time to be building anything.

I guess I’m too old to even begin to understand that decision.

I actually agree with you and obviously the Conn Smythe is awarded for the body of work over the full two months of the playoffs but it was still damn hard to watch a guy that I saw give up 15 goals in person over 4 games at the Meadowlands win any type of MVP. Unfortunately, I think Marty probably lost it when that fluke goal off his stick extended the series in game 3. It would have been much harder to give it to Giguere if the series only went 4 or 5 games.

I haven’t seen him mentioned but how about Langenbrunner for ring of honor? He was key to the 3rd cup, spent a lot of years here and was captain for a while.

I would be another No on Brylin for a jersey retirement but a yes for ring of honor.

Correct. The post was fine, just my immaturity I guess.

I read the start of this and laughed

He “dumped” a guy that he drafted 3rd overall 3 years ago. How beautifully could he have played it? We’re still pissed we drafted our leading scorer at 6th overall in 2015 instead of someone “better” Honestly, I think the Canadiens are stuck in that middle of the league area where you barely make the playoffs/miss the playoffs. A weird series of circumstances came together that allowed them to make a run to the finals this year which will mask the bigger issues with that roster for a little while. is Dvorak really an improvement? Jk has more room to grow IMO

Carolina is just going to bury Gardiner on LITR. Problem solved.

The best response I’ve seen so far is: ”what a bunch of jerks!”

This has Tom Dundin written all over it. Like everyone else here, I think this is a pretty bad ass move. That being said, I'm not sure why Carolina holds so much bitterness. When I first saw the offer that Aho accepted, I remember thinking that it was a pretty reasonable deal and that Montreal did the Canes a favor.

Same. We were only there for baseball and downtown was nice enough but yeah, it was dead almost immediately after the game ended. We stayed in Scottsdale which seemed to be a good move in terms of food and entertainment, especially since we were there for a b'ball game which is much closer. It's a looooong way from Glendale.

Tempe and Scottdale are to the east of Phoenix and basically where all the money is at. The Glendale Arena was built way to the west of the city on cotton fields as part of a development called Westgate which pretty much got derailed by the 2008 crash. Now it's basically an outdoor mall. It's the Cardinals stadium, the arena, a tribute statue to Pat Tillman and a Tangers outlet all out in the middle of f'ing nowhere. That's fine if you're trying to get fans out to 8 sunday games a season. Doesn't work as well for hockey.
