I know it's only the President's trophy but... The Avs were historically bad four years ago. And now look at 'em.

Maybe when Connor McDavid is 25 he can win the presidents trophy too. Wait he's how old? E: but seriously I did think their age difference was more than it is. The oilers are loving wasting that man's prime Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 03:56 on May 14, 2021 |

It’s kind of weird to me that the Avs won the presidents trophy despite having fewer wins than the VGK. I know how the tiebreaker works but I don’t feel like they should be discounting overtime wins like this It seems excessively complex and the result looks wrong when you look at the standings.

Aces High posted:Bednar's a good coach May get the Adams trophy as well, but the Avs were "supposed" to win so probably not. Grubauer has a lot of the right stats for Vezina Makar strong Norris candidate but games played is against him, Fox on performance and Hedman on name/performance edge him out I bet. MacKinnon should have won the Hart last year, but no chance this year even if the voters decide they don't want to give it to McDavid for "reasons"

I like to think the Kings sacrificed the last two games to make sure the Knights don't get home ice. Are we getting a playoff N/V thread? My ranking of which teams I'd like to see win: Maple Leafs Panthers Wild Jets Islanders Predators Hurricanes Oilers Capitals Avalanche Canadiens Bruins Blues Lightning Knights Penguins Mr. Kite fucked around with this message at 05:20 on May 14, 2021 |

This is the first year in quite a while that it's not pretty obvious who's going to get the Adams. Normally I'd expect Brind'Amour but it's unclear how many of the voters are aware Carolina has an NHL team. So probably Bednar but I dunno. McDavid will probably get the Hart unanimously

As much as I'd love it, the Avs aren't winning any of the stat trophies. Bednar is going to get overlooked, McDavid is nuts, Makar was injured (and he'll win one soon enough) and Grubauer, while great, wasn't as good as Fleury, Vasi etc. Sakic should win GM of the year but that's it.

Melnyk is at it again! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/eugene-melnyk-lawsuits-yacht-cruise-bahamas-1.6024743 Spent Christmas during the pandemic on a Carribean super yacht that coat $500,000 a week and is now trying to get out of paying by suing the company for $10m because there were rough seas. No financial issues there, no sir.

I could be half tempted to pull for the leafs to get a historic win if only the media promises to stop being lovely nihilists for a year or two but we all know they wouldn't make it to the end of summer before squeezing out a couple of "Here's why the leafs should buy out Tavares" and "Is Nylander's Hair a Locker room Distraction?" hot takes

ThinkTank posted:Melnyk is at it again! What an article. I don’t know what’s the best part, when Melnyk insisted the boat take a route more inland despite it being physically impossible for the boat to do so or when they left a glowing review in the guestbook before suddenly changing their mind and suing for “emotional distress”. Absolute piece of poo poo.

It's a real gem, this part was my favouritequote:The captain "appeared angry and resentful that a charterer would deem to intrude on his alleged specialized knowledge, experience, and authority ... and sought instead to punish the charterer and his party for their insolence through intentionally piloting the yacht into the open ocean," both statements of claim allege. You mean the man who's spent his career safely captaining yachts didn't want to intentionally run his ship aground at the behest of a race horse owner? Sounds like a real piece of work.

Man Melnyk really seems to go out of his way to be the least sympathetic figure ever. "Waaahh they wouldn't let me plot the course of the super yacht during my insanely selfish Christmas vacation in the middle of a pandemic. I don't want to pay any more give me $10 million."

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Do Canadian courts punish frivolous lawsuits/can the captain/company counter-sue in such a way that perhaps this sea captain becomes the senators' owner Vexatious lawsuits have pretty strict standards for penalizing the person filing suit, and the captain's best bet would be to file a defamation claim before Melnyk does. Canadian courts and Commonwealth courts in general are wildly, absurdly in favor of plaintiffs in defamation cases. So no, Ottawa will continue to suffer until the NHL decides it's time to take ol' Yeller behind the shed.
