  1. Met with one of our team Overlords yesterday, and not only got official approval, but also promise of an actual prize budget*, to award prizes for next year's Game Day Threads.  Prizes include signed game jerseys, and signed sticks.

     

    I noticed the threads were starting to get a little weak (by our own standards, no one else's) towards the end of the season, so I pitched the idea to give away awards at the end of the season for those who create them, to try and get some life back into our home.

     

    So the idea is to award prizes at the end of the regular season only for winners in different categories.  The mandate is to come up with 5 categories, so once again I'm turing to you folks for ideas.

     

    So far, I've come up with:

    • Most Threads Created
    • Most Creative (will be voted on at the end of the season)
    • Most Wins

     

    If you have any suggestions, please post them here.  If you don't like what I've come up with, feel free to let me know what you'd like to see as an alternative.

     




    *budget, in this sense, refers to the Digital Media team (our direct overlords' department) using their interal merch budget for us

  2. Here are the stas for this year's Game Day Thread creators

  3. Can't wait for the post-TDL "well, we heard that Player X could have been had for a nickel" or "Team A was definitely in on Player C, but the teams couldn't come to an agreement" bullpucky from the "NHL insiders" over the next few days/weeks (and the unbridled debates arguments conversations by armchair GMs that inevitably go with it)

    Because a goalie coach isn't living it. A heavily experienced goalie KNOWS how 400 different players have tricked them and keep trying the same tricks.

    It's the old saying, "Those that can't do, teach".

    WOW your too attached. 


    A coach can tell you how to get from Point A to Point B.  An experienced "point A to point B traveller" can tell you about the rocks, potholes, and detours that are on the path from Point A to Point B

    More peanut gallery in on it.

    Why would they even mention it if it required a 3rd team?

    I don't think we need to ask a 3rd team to do something we can do ourselves.

    It's not a ton of cash, with less than a third of the season remaining.

    We're only allowed to retain so much (either $$$ or # of players), I think

    For some reason it gets reported before the agreed return is finalized.

    oh, I can answer that one!

     

    For the same reason we see an increase in bull$hit trade rumours everywhere: everyone wants desperately to be the one who scoops everyone else (aka ego stroke points / internet points) 🤮

    Maybe it's your browser.  I have no issues with the display working.  

    Then again, the threads don't display the Wranglers, Hitmen, Roughnecks and Stamps icons properly.

    I use Chrome, so some things aren't optimized for it.

    yep.  Firefox here (not a fan of Chrome.....no throwing things at me, please 😁 ), so for anyone else who uses Firefox, Chrome is your best bet

  8. Here's this year's schedule (minus the opening game).  If you'd like to try your hand at creating a Game Day Thread (bar was set reallly low this year), let us know here.  We'll try to update this list as we progress through the season.

    To make things a little easier when creating a GDT, I quickly breezed through the pinned tutorial, and found these links (I used them myself)

    ...and I hope he stays around and addresses more of them.

    if you're talking about "why people don't stay on the boards", my personal belief is that this place can spiral to the depths of the official Facebook group sometimes, and I've gotten to the point where I don't even read the comments on there anymore when the team posts anything.

    He asked for us to submit any issues to him but it wasn't specified if that should be  in the format of a google doc or more like a database that can be queried.

    Simple screenshots or descriptions will suffice.  I'd be rather interested if you can create and send me a database (since that's what I do for living IRL).....could be interesting

    Anyway things seem to be on the up and up there.

    Assuming nothing, and you'll never be disappointed 😉

    So let me get this straight if the fans on this forum are not a 100% positive thinks then they shouldn't be posting on this site do I understand this correctly? 

     

    I don't think that's what he's saying at all, @zima, at least I certainly hope not.  Healthy debate can be a great thing, but shit-posting just for the sake of stirring the pot (aka trolling) can be subjective, and if you (general "you", not you specifically) feel there's too much of it happening, it can definitely wear on you

    I'm fairly happy with our D-core, except for Bartkowski. I hope we find a better replacement for him soon.

    What is it about him you don't like?  I haven't seen anything to excessively hate on him about, and think he's right where he should be....3rd-pairing D.

    There's that & the fact Kulstad mentioned something about wishing to swing the big hammer. Been a while so he's getting itchy.

    Carty knows the 1 I mean.
