Teemu Pokemon posted:Does this mean that when the Red Wings are bad next year, I get to start to complain with impunity, or is there a multiple lifetime cup multiplier? Complain whenever you want, it's sports! They're designed to be complained about. Like I'm super mad the other 29 teams aren't letting Chicago win the cup every year when we all know they are the best stewards for it. But see the exciting part is that other sports fans get to complain about you complaining. That's how goldmine worthy posts get made.

If your win doesn't break a few hips, really what's the point? Well look at that Reginald, it says the Black Hawks have won the Stanley Cup again. Jolly good, Ethel. Jolly good. (I don't know why when I think nonchalant I see a 1940s couple reading a newspaper by the fireplace.)

Kris Letang is injured and out for a few weeks, which is only fair after he tried to elbow Pastrnak in the face.

Or is it because they want him playing top pairing minutes in WBS instead of being healthy scratched/3rd pairing in Pitt?

I think it's because Pouliot really isn't very good and Shero just had a weird boner for defenseman.

Schremp Howard posted:I think it's because Pouliot really isn't very good and Shero just had a weird boner for defenseman. It's pretty much this. Pouliot has kinda sucked. I still hold out some hope because he scored well in WBS and juniors but the fact that he hasn't been able to force his way onto the roster yet is troubling. He'd probably be better off on a bad team that would play him a lot just to see what he has. I wonder who they will pair him with. I'd guess it will be: Daley-Dumo Jultz-Cole Maatta-DP But I dunno

I thought Pouliot was decent and considered a good prospect, and that Pens fans liked him.

I mean they haven't won in a while and they've been missing the playoffs but I still got to see a Cup run very recently, Ilya Kovalchuk (strangely still one of my favorite all-time forwards) in his prime on my favorite team, Jagr, Parise, and another Vezina quality goalie and now Hall. Yeah their primes might be wasted but the Devils have had something to watch if you're a fan of them since like 1987. T-Bone fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Dec 15, 2016 |

Colorado manages to somehow be worse than the Canucks, I expect Arizona to pull past them using those games in hand The canucks are going to miss 30th overall because of the 4-game-somehow-we-won-without-leading streak at the beginning of the season e: And the Las Vegas Trademark Violations are going to get 1st overall anyhow

JawKnee posted:e: And the Las Vegas Trademark Violations are going to get 1st overall anyhow I know they just implemented the lottery for the top 3 last season but why they don't literally give Las Vegas first overall by default doesn't make sense to me. A team that doesn't exist can't tank and there's no other expansion team entering the league this year to want to give an equal shot at it.

A team that doesn't exist can't tank and there's no other expansion team entering the league this year to want to give an equal shot at it. Because that sucks for teams that were terrible this year. Vegas gets the same odds as the 3rd worst team in the lottery this year. I think that's a fair compromise.
