The page getting stuck at the top or bottom is when that damn snickers commercial is playing. The browser doesn't let you scroll away from the ad while its playing, then when the ad ends, it loads in a different spot on the page and you're stuck in an endless loop of the video ad beginning and keeping itself on the screen. I've been clicking report ad every time it pops up and am about to install an ad blocker for chrome.

I got an ad blocker for my phone and laptop last year. Best decision I made. I didn't mind some of Eks ads, but the auto play was too far.

It really is ridiculous. I try to unblock the sites I visit most often so they generate ad revenue, but this site just makes it impossible

We upgraded our firewall at work and I see zero ads now.

That is assuming that literally no one wants him. It is the NHL. Kris Russell signed for almost 4 million. I seriously doubt no one would take him.

At that point all you have to do is make the money work. Whether it is retained salary or taking on other contracts. Not sure exactly who you mean when you say "1 bad year of contract has cost recently" but I don't think you can compare a team that would like to get rid of someone to a team that NEEDS to get rid of someone

- YuenglingJagr


I just think there is a going rate for "dead money."

I guess I'll never know how other teams view him, but the perception seems to be that his contract is terrible. He's also hitting the downside, so it's not like an upside play by another team. I think other teams will try to extract quite a bit for taking him on.

It's all a moot point. They aren't going to move him and they don't need to. I just think it's funny that people are proposing trades of flotsam in order to take Amac. If you want to move Amac and retain nothing, it's going to take a pick or prospect that people actually value.

There's a part of me that thinks MDZ in Vegas won't end well for a variety of reasons.

I never had issues with quoting on the first page. I started to get autoplay ads and redirect ads from ONLY hockeybuzz. Thats when I got the ad block which I don't know why I didnt get sooner anyway. I now have an issue that when I click submit it does nothing so I have to go back and repost poop.

I'd never pay to come here, if he ever tried to make that a mandatory thing watch it blow in his face.

I get the redirected ads on my phone. It's infuriating. So I now I never access Hockeybuzz on my phone. Who wants to get redirected 5 times in a ten minute visit to a site?

Is anybody have one/both of these issues:

- Page scrolling not working (having the page get stuck at the top/bottom)
- Replies not posting the first time (getting kicked back to the reply page when posting)

I just got an ad block for my phone, works very well.

I come here for two thing, Bill's updates on prospects and some of the fun sometimes with you fools. I am a little curious as to what will happen when Ek dies. He's like 50 ish no? Who takes it over?

lol...how much longer do you think he has? Geez, I'm "50ish" and figure I have a good 4-5 decades left in me.

I'm just looking to be rid of him. Jones, Carle, Mac. Give me someone new to dislike.
- flyer_nutter


That list looks familiar but I add Coburn to it.

I was okay with Coburn. Just wish the guy was able to bring a little more of the 'Angry Coburn' we saw glimpses of once in a while. Minus his little initial hot streak of one timers on the right point of the PP he didn't do much offensively.

When he played with the snarl, my god he was fun to watch.

The Devils don't want the pressure of picking the wrong guy, between Nico and Patrick, so they go with Glass.


- ggunky


Imagine how bad it would be for Patrick after his run of injuries if his last name was Glass.

AMac has three years left in his deal. I love when people act like he got a 12 year deal.

I honestly think Vegas takes him if they don't take MDZ first.

- hereticpride


It makes no sense for them to take a UFA dman or a dman who is owed $16,500,000, when they can take a bottom 6 forward like Raffl, Weise or Bellemare on much cheaper contracts. Or gamble on the upside of an RFA like Laughton.

I have no idea if it is true, but I would imagine Bill does not write the updates for fun, though I do imagine they are quite fun for him to write

He was great in the 2010 ECF/SCF. Most physical brand of hockey he ever played.

I really think the visor killed his offensive game. I don't know why, but it's what I believe.

Then Ek would just to get rid of Tanner's mindless nonsense and devote a higher % to Bill.

Edit: Mordecai is a Tanner alt!!!

I think both are 'planted' by Ek to attract hits.
