I agree we need the next Mark Giordano. Norris-level D. Leader. Captain. They are hard to find from trade. Need to draft them.
To be fair, they didn't draft Giordano either.
Love.

Depends on the offence, any type of conviction in a rape or sexual assault case is a no go for me. But Ronni and the Canada 5 aren't exactly the type of player worth the scrutiny, none are bringing an impact to the team that you can't find elsewhere. You can take Kane and Perry away from Edmonton and not really experience any drop off.
Agreed.
Smuggling cocaine in your underpants (Bob Probert)? No problem.
Vehicular homicide? Maybe.
Rape? Get the Blockchain outta here.

A little devastated to miss this game tonight, but I'll be watching for sure as they float 34 to the rafters. Since I'll be around other people that I'll see again, hopefully I keep it together a little bit better than I did for 12.
It's so hard to look cool.

Ahh, yes. Joe Colborne.
One day he'll get the call!

I'm so excited that they're retiring his jersey... but I can't figure out why it'd be against the Penguins. Watching those clips, it seems like you'd want to do it against Vancouver, Detroit, or San Jose. Maybe the schedule didn't work out for a Saturday home game. In any case, I'm really happy for him!
Love.

On that note, I will follow suit with others and ping @Heartbreaker
I appreciate that, Buddy. It's been a couple of days, and I've been starved for attention!
I'll make it worth your while...
Hey JJ, when is a door no longer a door?

I think that another class of player that the Flames have historically done well with is the reclamation project. Players that have a ton of potential, but aren't reaching it on their former team for any number of reasons. To be clear, the Flames lose a lot of these players as well, but a few success stories might include players like Kristian Huselius, Jiri Hudler, Rene Bourque, and even Elias Lindholm. None of these guys are among the elite in the league, but they were all great Flames.
This doesn't always work, though—James Neal, Ales Kotalik, I'm looking at you.
Love.

I cheered for BOS in the cup finals that year.
And watched VAN burn it down.
I would cheer for either VAN or EDM to lose and not even get to the cup.
In the conference final, I would cheer for the rare double-elimination.
Love.

That's nice... but when the season's on the line, you're gonna want the puck on the stick of thick-dick-Nick Ritchie!

I think the Huberdeau line is going to get caved in at 5 on 5. Hopefully Huska plans lots of O zone starts for them.
I was listening to Steinberg yesterday when they were comin' at us from the Purple Haberdashers Seafood Emporium and Wing Shack, and I was thinking the same thing. There is a helluva lotta defensive responsibility that's about to fall on Yegor Sharangovich.

So your saying we lose another player for nothing in return? So we lost a first over Mony I still will never understand that move. This team is going into a dumpster dive I don't think we can dig our way out.
Perhaps... but it sounds like we may have lost a rapist.
I'm with you on Monohan, but let's just take the L on 29.

The league showed its true colours back with Chicago, they were there to quickly point out that they had no legal responsibilities to Aldrich's victims all while showing no remorse that a crime existed against a minor because of the actions of one of its teams. As you said they are run by lawyers, they don't care how they look to the public as long as they can't get sued.
And then the Blackhawks won the most consequential draft lottery since McDavid... but Arizona lost their pick for conducting illegal pre-draft testing.
A false equivalency, perhaps, but that's one of those things that I can't get stoked about.

There it is.
QuoteFour National Hockey League players – Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube, and Cal Foote – have been directed to surrender to police in London, Ont., to be charged with sexual assault in connection with an alleged incident that occurred during a Hockey Canada event in the city in June 2018, two sources familiar with the matter told TSN.

The good news for Oilers fans is that with the Globe and Mail reporting that five NHL players have to report to London to face charges, there will be five good players available that the Oilers can sign without giving up any assets!

I hope for terrible results for those involved, toxic behaviour that puts a bad name on the sport, team sports in general and men in general. If they did it Blockchain em and good riddance.
I'm just going to 'Like' this, and then unlike it, so that I can 'Like' it again for the next little while.

This is starting to smell a whole lot like smoke.

When we didn't think LW would be a problem, it's a pretty big one.

Don't tell JJ, but we might need to focus our drafting on LW.

This rookie Connor competition remindes me of that '88-'89 Flames team with two small differences:
- They were named Joe, and they weren't rookies
- They both played for the Flames

I'm happy with that. I was getting pretty frustrated with that power play. A whole lotta possession, but not shots.

I have seen a lot of interference and trips from Minny but no penalties.
How are you feeling about the power play?

we played it a lot in our beer league. We got a section of the ice and defended the play in our own section. Keeps from everyone running around the ice. It is when players leave their own defensive section that chaos ensues. It leaves a huge part of the ice not being defended.
I felt man to man is good for sports like basketball. I could see how it could work for hockey the center checks center and wingers get their adjacent D and the D against their wingers.
basically our zone in beer league was the two wingers got the upper half portion of the defensive blue line and down to the hash marks, not really a full square, the center defended the slot and the D their side of the slot into their side of the corners in the D zone. Basically all players shift from one side of the zone they play to the other as the puck moves around in the whole defensive zone trying to stay between the puck and the other player in the zone a player covers .
Be good to look at the ice clipboard and draw it out...
One thing that I have noticed about hockey in the past few years is that in the defensive zone, there is still some relevance here, but when you're on offence, I hear a lot less about the role of specific forwards. It's pretty fluid, and they're F1, F2, and F3. These guys are all professionals, and they certainly know better than I do, but I think that's where it could be confusing. If you're tracking F2, for example, and you're used to playing Zone defence, you might lose your cover. Alternatively, if you're playing man-to-man, you could leave gaps.
It's just an evolution of the game that makes it faster, and gives forwards an opportunity to be creative, and evade coverage. I think it's pretty cool!Love.

You'll be shocked to learn that I don't make these decisions, but if I did, I'd play Coronato in tonight.
