God I hope this is sarcastic.

I don't believe it is and i don't think he's wrong. Hockey's generally regarded as one of the more expensive sports to put your kids through. A lot of college and chl hopefuls these days are coming from private schools, boarding schools or an institution specifically dedicated to the sport.

Alrighty here goes nothing. Apparently he hated Myers. I mean hate. Called him a giant wussy. When media asked him about him he said he loved him and didn't want to trade him just to drive up the price. When asked more about the trade he said he didn't trade a 1st for myers. He traded bogosion for myers and a 1st for Kane. Also said Nolan has no idea what he is doing and is canned after the year. He said there was one occasion he walked into Murray's office and asked if he should bench Zadarov for Strachan. Murray just nodded and said do what you feel is best cause he doesn't want to make it feel like Murray is pulling the strings. He said he is happy he is the coach now though because that will bring him McEichel. He knew he was going to sell off Neuvirth three weeks ago and just remained quiet to drive up price but had multiple offers come deadline time. Then he realizes certain players like Hodgson aren't meant to be on the 4th line but since Teddy doesn't know what he is doing it only helps us get top pick so he is happy with it. We also have already spoken to Mike Babcock's agent (no clue how that happens) and he is looking at us, Leafs and reupping at Detroit for next year. Also the reason Lafontaine left was not because of the Miller deal it was because he hired Murray with the assumption he can learn the way to be the GM from Murray and take over in two years which would have been this offseason but no one else thought he should so he quit. Murray said he pleaded his case and won to Pegula. Also said he plans on using his other 1st and prospects to get Ryan O'Reilly in the draft is number one priority because the draft positions will already be done by then. And lastly he has McDavid at a hard #1 and Eichel at #2 because of nationality and skill. Really hates U.S. players. Said there is are only a select few that actually have the complete package and even said Patrick Kane has "warts" he would have preferred a Canadian instead with same skill set but understands the game better. He's all about hockey sense and a player's upbringing and how they handle media attention. If I forgot some it's because I'm still in shock haha

Um, holy crap ?

Kesler, Pavelski, Parise, Callahan, are all complete players that play harder than most Canadians... I don't believe a word that guy says. No way you come on here after a conversation with a GM and tell everyone about it.

And yup the Oilers are doing what they do best. TANKING

I seriously feel sad for anyone who believes he talked to tim murray for two hours.

Him making it out to be that only rich Americans play the sport is an absolute joke. Yes hockey is expensive. I played the game for 18 years my mom didn't wear furs and my dad and step dad didn't wear fancy suits. That's such a franking joke. I don't get pi$$ed off a lot but that $hit is garbage.

He probably said "i hate american beers" after his 12th.

Kind of playing devils advocate here, but are you in the NHL right now?
Im saying this because i see the "hover parent" with money trying to live vicariously through their kid in a variety of sports now a days.
If you cant afford to send your kid to summer skills camp and summer skating camp and provide them with a gym, then your kid is falling behind!
Not saying inline skates and street hockey in the summer will absolutey not produce an NHL player, but when mom and dad are investing money and telling you that you HAVE to keep playing because you're "gifted" you might go a little further than the son of working class people.
And im saying that as a son of working classs people who wanted to play hockey and was told "we cant afford it."... I know, cry me a river.

4-3!

4-3!

I've said something along these lines on here various times over the past several months, and someone (a few) always goes off on me about it.

Hockey in America is a Middle-Class (Rich Kid's) sport and if anyone thinks otherwise, they are fooling themselves.

Everything you say is spot on. Especially that last part


And what's worse, if you somehow manage to afford the equipment, all the other players and coaches know you're poor and will bench your ass the second you show-up their darling player because they're too busy sucking on the kid's parents' a$$hole, or slash the ever living hell out of you and get away with it because let's be honest, the refs are just as biased, especially in High School, College and organized tournaments.

Too bad they started the wrong goalie.

They have similar goaltending to the Sabres.

Derek (frank)ing Roy! 4-4 !

If #Dolphins lift the transition tag on Clay, he likely signs w #Bills. If tag stays on, #Bills would likely make offer tomorrow.
