I'm at work and my work computer won't play those. I'd have to get on my new Samsung S7 Edge, but I don't know where it is?

Phx just scratched their best player tho.
It's a chess game now.

Can we shutdown Bo?

Just put Megna with the Sedins.

That is a great all-purpose tank strategy.

It's my first Samsung, the only reason I got it is because they gave me a free tablet for signing up to a two year contract. It's ok.

WD in charge of lineups and he doesn't have it in him to tank.

BTW. I liked the quote about Goldoblin and WD not having a problem playing kids, but needs to see the effort.

Hopefully that will appease the freakout fans and those that insist that there is some rift between mgmt and coaching .

As long as players can individually chose whether or not they go to the Olympics there really is no issue. The NHL doesn't have to officially participate and the players who really care about repping their countries can go. The problem arises when an owner prevents a player from representing their country out of fear of losing a few bucks. I suppose the players could always tank whatever games they are forced to play during the 2 weeks of the Olympics...

Samsung phones are pretty decent, though they were a lot more cutting edge when the S3 came out, really affected the future of smartphones. Now they're turning into Apple, selling overpriced minor updates every year.

I put myself in WD's position.
Idc what time of the season it is if a player is a floater he does not play.
Every player its FIFO. Don't like it then off to Utica it is. This play someone just to play them goes against all thongs about being a pro. Anyone can be sat if not giving 100% & this should go for Daniel also.

I also liked that he said he didnt want to send him back to Utica because he's been there already and has done well. No point sending him back to his comfort zone if youre trying to develop him

I disagree. Players sign a professional contract with their team.
There is no option to take a leave of absence. Honour the contract or don't sign one.

Exactly. I bet the greedy MFers look at the european soccer leagues that dont shut down and send players away for international games and think that its a genius ploy to grow the game with zero expenses and responsibility.

I hope the IOC penalizes the NHL somehow

- WhiteLie


Yeah it might go that way. It's all about money.

If it goes down like that then the NHL should not penalize the players who want to go. That the owners let thier players go without repercussions. Insurance handling injuries might be complicated. Need to bind it to existing contracts.

I don't mind it for Nucks. If lucky they get rid of the Sedins for a couple weeks. They get used to it and agree to a trade before TDL.

If developing Goldy in the NHL is how players get better fine but idk thats the case with Goldy. His game is full of holes & practicing in game situations is bad & sends a lousy message to players in Utica who dream of the NHL. JV got his wee wee whacked & sent down to get his game together & so far Goldy is nothing more than an audition that his points from the AHL has not translated into offence in the NHL. He is invisible and a liability. Many players have washed out under the same results.

He'll be a total bust unless we get him a north/south playmaking centre with en elite hockey IQ to play with.
