Hey Corey, you can come back to Vancouver man - we're getting a new GM, and (probably) a new coach and we promise this time will be different baby, we've changed, we swear!

What? No we don't have 2 backup goalies that we're trying to turn into #1's, don't be irrational.

if the nucks can lose at least one of these last 2, and Carolina stays even or better with us, we should nab 6th overall :toot:

So with Carolina's win tonight Vancouver will now draft 6th overall for sure. I feel pretty happy about this as I don't think they're as bad as they played this year and I figure we might as well take advantage of it. I just hope I'm not living in denial about how bad this team really is.

did you see Markstrom last night?

The future is long and bleak.

Wait, that's how the lottery works? I thought all positions from 1st down were up for grabs with weighted probability of who takes what based on finishing, is it really just the 1st pick that's up for grabs and everyone else picks in regular order?

So just having a look at capgeek for the nucks, looks like Kassian, Schroeder, Dalpe, Tanev, and Weber are coming up on RFA, and Santorelli and Alberts are UFA.

Seems we'll have around 9 million to play with, who gets resigned/dropped?

Probably: Kassian (hopefully for no more than Richardson right now), Santorelli (hopefully for less than a million, but apart from the injury he was great and could probably ask for more), Tanev (gonna get paid :( ) maaaybe Schroeder although not if he wants more than what he's getting now and the same for Dalpe. Let Alberts walk (can we do this if he's LTIR?) and maybe don't resign Weber although he's looked okay on the PP.

E: Markstrom is earning more than Lack :psyduck:

Yeah Elliote Friedman came to his defense on Twitter and Ron said he'd be addressing it on HNIC tonight.

He already talked about it last night too, during the Sharks/Kings game I think, said he wasn't trying to insinuate anything, although in his mind he wouldn't want a ref from [area] where a deciding game is taking place.

Suspicious posted:

Let's be honest here. After a bad call in a playoff game, does anyone really look up where the ref was born to neutrally determine potential bias? Unless he has a French name, I doubt it.

It's likely that Maclean already knew where he was from, and the other refs too, seeing as he (Maclean) is a ref himself and talking in depth about hockey and the people who do it is, y'know, his job.

I dunno whether he's mentioned it for other areas, so maybe?

I'm not actually terribly interested in defending Maclean here; if you're out to get him then I guess sharpen yourself up and jump on the twitter.

We could go back to that if you really want.. get rid of the hitting, all the hard surfaces, and swap the puck for a ping pong ball.

were there any (or many?) serious/fatal head injuries when hockey had no helmets? If not, why? Some unwritten code of how the game was meant to be played?

There were a ton of serious head injuries. The fatal one I can think of is Bill Masterton who got an award named after him. Howe fractured his skull and was in critical condition early in his career, Ted Green fractured his skull and suffered brain damage and Ace Bailey had his career ended by Eddie Shore.

thanks for the info, I don't know a hell of a lot about old time hockey beyond a few documentaries, I'll have to do some reading.
