Chiarelli is finalist for GM of the year.

I love it! He signed lucic and kassian, and traded away hall for a 2/3 d- and everybody thought he was a fool. We didnt pay market prices for a decent d and got kulikov. Props to him. Of course mcdavid and draisitl are the main reasons for their success, but he got complimentary pieces. And the one player thats in the dog house is eberle. Beautiful.

He fell ass backwards into a successful season, if it wasn't for McDavid that team doesn't make the playoffs. Draisaitl had a great season, but he had a ton of success riding shotgun with McDavid. Kind of like Panarin last year, had a great year, but was a beneficiary of Kane.

Lucic is a terrbile signing and the Hall trade is not good either, sure they got what they needed, but they way overpaid for a steady 2nd pair guy with a guy that is among the best at his position.

Won't take long for them to regret the Lucic signing
And that Hall trade will always be bad, no matter what
Edmonton overachieved
Good for them, but idk that they're necessarily on the right path per se
If they are, there's still some serious work to be done imo

spent big on coaching and players. Bare minimum qualification for the champions league. Instead best they can hope for is winning the europa league, which nobody cares about.

They've got the highest wage bill of any team and they're going to be in europe's 2nd tier tournament again next year.

The Europa league is hugely important. All we (Man U) have to do is beat Ajax in the Europa league final and we automatically qualify for the Champions League group stage next year.....Its why Mourinho has been fielding such poop teams for premier league games.

And i recognize that we have a way to go. Bringing in Antoine Greizmann during the summer will help a lot.

Draisaitl does not need McDavid to be successful he proved it in the playoffs already .
He takes over games

I've never really understood all the over the top flag rules. It's a flag. A material object.
- chilliard77


It isTHE FLAG representing these United States of America and all we stand for.
By disrespecting the flag, abusers are disrespecting all our beliefs, freedoms and all,of us, present and past, including those who have fallen to protect your line of thinking...good, bad, or indifferent.

I don't understand anyone who can't see that, and who thinks so little of the symbolism.

I think we've all said who we want to get picked off in expansion, but i wonder if there's a consensus here as to who will get picked/packaged.

My money's on Bogo, though i want Moulson

"Don't matter" is your quote

"Not that important compared to 5 on 5" is mine

Do you not notice how refs purposely try and even out the special teams in the playoffs?

They cancel each other out more often than not it seems

Win the game



The quote you guys have been saying is special teams don't matter much

I thought they've done the Europa league thing for about 5 years now. How long have they been doing it?

I don't follow the EPL that closely.
