That's really cool. Manon Rheaume's time in the IHL / ECHL was probably equivalent in terms of how high a female has played as a pro, but it seems like Raty might actually be good enough to stick.

Ooh, yea, of course, forgot about Rheaume.

And yet Carolina is still "beating" them.

Jeff Marek brought up a good point the other day, GMs talk every day via text, email, phone. Every day. (Personal aside: I had the chance to talk to Chuck Fletcher a few months ago and he said he probably talks to every GM in the league every 3 days - to gauge interest and see what people need and who is available. By the way, Chuck Fletcher made it very clear to me that the idea of a player being "off-limits" is a completely fan created construct. GMs would be run out of certain towns if fans knew the types of conversations GMs have every day. IE, "What do you want for Claude Giroux?")

Long story short: Can you imagine the conversations Tim Murray and Ron Francis are having? Obviously hockey trades are designed to solve an issue each side has, but in this case aren't both teams trying actively to get worse?

From the October thread:

not sure if you watched on TV or you were there but holy gently caress it was miserable. I was in a sea of leafs fans and they were all yelling obnoxiously at the back of my head while we got smashed. it took every fiber of my being to not leave early. these are trying times as a jackets fan.

at least we are playing the canes next week. I'm getting upper bowl seats to that game so if we lose I can just jump and kill myself.

I was in the upper bowl, and it was 90% Columbus fans up there. Most of the lower bowl were Leafs fans, though.

It was lovely for the Jackets, and personally for me it would've been lovely if it was any other team. I root for the Leafs as well, so I didn't have an issue with it.

What's your price range hotel-wise? There's a Crowne Plaza, a Hyatt, and a nearly-new Hilton within walking distance. Apparently the Hilton was one of the things that got Columbus an All-Star Game (something about insufficient suites in the Arena District before it opened).

The RBar is a hockey bar which is unanimously said to be a cool place. If you've got kids/are kids at heart, there's COSI nearby, which is a hands-on science museum.

The Canucks have been playing well but the Oilers sure do love to beat them so you can be sure they're going to play their hardest.

I stayed at the Hilton a few years ago, it was a nice hotel, maybe 3 blocks from the arena. lots of neat pubs to pregame at right around the arena, it's really built for pedestrian traffic. I went at the start of playoffs, so didn't get a chance to catch a game, but I did check out their minor league baseball team which was pretty fun, so if you go later in the year, check them out as well.

Yeah, here's the full list of what to do down there. Even if you stay away from the AD, there's plenty of parking on a game day. http://arenadistrict.com/

Huntington Park is awesome (both it and Nationwide are spectacular) and Clippers tickets are reasonably priced. I'm not much of a baseball fan, but a Clippers game is a good time. Splurge for the Tansky Club. Private area behind home plate with your own concession area for $20.

The Ducks finally iced Fowler-Vatanen against Dallas and it looked really good! I hope they give that pairing a shot even when Lovejoy gets back.

I would legit rather just play with one less forward than with Tom Sestito.

Or call up Shintaruk or something for super sheltered minutes.

We went to R Bar for the first time last night - It's a hole in the wall, but it's got good food and is reasonably priced. I was impressed.

Carlyle played his line more minutes over Kadri's because faceoffs. The result being that David Clarkson played 6 minutes more than Kessel.
