Still not thrilled with losing Toftbo though. :smith:

Also I was at work but my dad said Buttman got a really entertaining reaction from the crowd when he came out to talk. Please tell me it was the loudest booing ever.

After what happened Thursday and earlier today, the Oilers really needed to avoid loving up their pick and thankfully they didn't. I am excited by the pick of Midget Man Kailer Yamamoto and I hope he and McDavid light up the league in a couple of years.

Sullivan is either going to squeeze more value out of Reaves than anyone else ever has or scratch him so much he gets traded.

Seems pretty obvious the rationale behind Oshie's contract is "by the time it becomes a bad contract Ovechkin will be done and we'll have to blow it up and start over anyway who who gives a poo poo how long we have to carry a 5.75M cap hit"

Yeah, I thought it was way too long of a deal, but realistically 8 years from now the Caps are going to be in rebuild mode, so who loving cares about one bad contract? That said, I think their Ovi window is really starting to close. I don't know what they're missing, but they seem incapable of playing in the post season no matter what they do.

If you had told me at the beginning of the season that Matthews would win the Calder after scoring 40 goals and leading the Leafs to the playoffs and that the Leafs would be able to draft Liljegren with their own first rounder, I might have poo poo my pants.

Seriously, this year has been so amazing for the Leafs it's hard to even wrap my head around it

It's less about Trudeau, as the leader of the party is - while obviously the face of the party - not the whole of it. I don't want to derail the thread so I'll leave it at this: the Liberal Party of Canada has broken (or failed to address) a lot of promises they made during election time. Let's leave it there - if you actually want to know more head over to CanPol and ask.

How do I shot puck!?
I don't think I've ever seen a GM fall from grace more than Ken Holland has in the past 10 years. After the '08 cup he was getting praised incessantly for navigating around the cap, etc etc. He even had a hockey news article he wrote called "How we did it" but may as well have been "how I did it".
And now he is basically the joke of the league, except in the Detroit sports media which is incapable of objectively covering this team.
I'm happy I got to see 4 cups while I was alive because I doubt this team does anything for the next decade or so.

depends on which media. the other day on valenti they asked who was the worse GM--stan van, avilla, or holland. if it's the legacy media, not really. lotta fluff pieces.

I SUPPORT ALL THE PREDATORS
Detroit's management is incestuous and they all still believe in the mystique of Detroit -- that every FA wants to be here, that every player who puts on the sweater will play better than they would elsewhere, that the team is always one or two pieces away from being competitive, that they will continue to get lucky drafting superstars several rounds deep, that every reclamation project will work, etc.

Detroit needs a Toronto style purge but it ain't happening anytime soon.

Honestly, for the last 2-3 years, I thought they had an excellent team and just had some bad luck. I don't think there's anything wrong with the core players.
