And also like 24 seconds after signing a contract. Just to give that illusion of "I wanna be here. *signs paper* JUST KIDDING!"

Thornton out a month with a rib fracture, Matthews day-to-day and out tonight.

Welp, let's see what you got Marner.

Edit: I don't understand why these RFAs with no leverage continue to think the best way to get what they want is sandbag until the team caves. The team owns you, my guy. The best way to get traded is to look like you're worth trading for.

Theres some idiots on EOTP still fawning over getting PLD, who dont give a shit about these attitude issues...but these are the same idiots who shit over Drouin any chance they get and reference his attitude issues over reporting to Syracuse while he was with Tampa.

Not to mention, we dont even need PLD. We have Suzuki (who is looking better and better every game), we have Kotkaniemi (who isnt even old enough to drink in murica), and we have Danault (who is one of the better defensive centers in the league) as our top 9 C.

Everyones going ham on Torts for benching PLD, but if you've seen the shift before the benching...that was a negative effort shift.

Yeah, that is terrible, lol.

Big props to LUMBUS taking PLD in the 2016 draft which essentially lead to Calgary being able to pick up Chucky

The FFXI in me makes me read it as Paladin whenever I see this, and I have to correct myself.

[Vaspinne]

Honestly I was reading that too and it took me a minute to figure out who Wulfie was referring to lol

[Richybear]

To be fair, PLD would've been a solid tank choice in 2016, but Runefencer has since dethroned them

[Vaspinne]

See, that post is great because of how it works on both a FFXI level, and a 'tank for top pick' level

I always thought NIN tank was the coolest concept ever. I don't think SE even meant for NIN to be played in the way that it did.

Supposedly the Caps have legit interest in PLD

Posting this here because this channel is where most hockey games are broadcast in the US.

NBC to shut down sports cable channel NBCSN

[Vaspinne]

Welp, if they don't have an alternative US broadcaster lined up, this is gonna be a huuuuuge financial blow to the NHL

[Cail]

Its just going to move to a different channel owned by NBC

[Cail]

Missed a shift at the end of the 2nd after going to the locker room early

Welp never mind then

[Judai]

I think both Fox and ESPN are also trying to buy NHL broadcasting rights.

[Cail]

yea, iirc NBC is up after this season and Bettman has said he wants multiple broadcast partners

[Richybear]

They'll put it on the golf channel so the Stanley Cup Finals will be called by Jim Nantz and super calm.
