We both know it's Andrei Markov's spot, while Petry is gonna be on the second pairing with Emelin because Beaulieu is definitely not ready to be the #4 defenseman, no it has to be Emelin who brings ABSOLUTELY loving NOTHING TO THE TEAM EXCEPT FOR HITS AND GRIT AND HOLY gently caress I WANT TO KILL BERGEVIN RIGHT NOW.

For some weird loving reason (although it's funny as hell), he's rrreeeeaaalllyyyy effective against Milan Lucic

Oh are we discussing failed hockey player investments again?

I watched Shayne Corson open a sports bar in the dumbest area of town, thrive for about 6 months until everyone realized the food was poo poo and the staff were all hand picked by Corson and horrible at their jobs, then go under about a year later.

Yet his mother has owned and operated the restaurant behind my house for like 35 loving years and its always packed. Why couldnt he ask her to run everything?

corson's 27 on crescent?

the food loving sucked, but the area is pretty busy though

just shows how much more than it sucked. maybe he shouldn't have opened it right after he left town and then pulled that weird retirement thingie in Toronto....

There was a narrative when the Flames made their miracle run to the post-season two years ago that they had the best defense group in the league, and somehow the credit spilled over not just to Brodie and Giordano but also all of the useless secondary pieces. Part of that narrative is that Dennis Wideman is a 50 point defenceman.

Everyone over-rates their own players.. actually usually Oilers fans are pretty reasonable. They've learned to expect nothing.

No, Montreal and their fanbase is pretty good at undervaluing their players

Heh

Heh

El Gallinero Gros posted:

He had an exceptional year in his first season in the QMJHL (39-59-98 in 57 games, as a 15-16 year old), started drawing Gretzky comparisons and his other seasons in the Q were good but not great. Got drafted in 2007 by Pittsburgh, but by then his stock had dropped so he went 20th overall instead of first like you might expect somebody drawing those comparisons, struggled like hell in the AHL (38 pts in 124 games for 3 teams), ended up playing in Europe.

Yeah, imagine a world where Gretzky basically turns into Todd Marinovich. Yikes.

His family has a p good grocery store chain
