I have a buddy I sometimes play league of legends with (on line game)... their admins have four or five IPs banned of his because he is "fun" when angry. He is nearing 100 banned accounts and pays for a private VPN, like 8 bucks a month, just to get around their banning him.

So yeah, it's super easy to get around things if you want. I assume free vpns exist but has lazy.

Maybe they traced they banned IPs. I know they did that to Bartley when they figured out he had a ton alts (not hard, they all had the same avatar). There is absolutely no (frank)ing way that those two accounts weren't operated by the same person.

Yeah there were a couple of times his post's wordings and emoji usage were spot on with Aussies....but besides those times I felt they might be different...I guess...hmmm. Also, they each have a HBSL fantasy team and verymodernteam is in 99th..cant remember the name of Aussies team.

I hope the Pens come out and play with a with chip on the shoulder this eve for all the times the Hawks have spanked them the past 7 or 8 years and not come out playing down to a team that only has 3 wins in their last 17...

Friedman said there were indications of the organization's frustration with scoring winger Vladimir Tarasenko since signing his big contract in 2015. He indicated no one on the club's gone on the record about this and Tarasenko's name hasn't come up in a specific trade rumor. Moving their best goal scorer would be a big change but Friedman doubted the Blues would come out on the winning side of that deal.

Shopping Tarasenko would be the clearest indication of Armstrong engaging in a major roster rebuild. The asking price would likely be a package consisting of a high first-round draft pick, a top prospect and at least one promising young roster player. Although, such moves typically don't occur during the season.

I dont know how the pens make this work but just do it.

Jarry to WBS

Personally I like Maatta, I think he's capable of good things on the right pairing (Letang). We know Maatta is above average with Schultz or Letang, so in my opinion, if Dumo is as good as we believe, Dumo should be able to hold his own with Olek or Riikola or somebody on the top 4 (just not JJ).

Dumo isn’t as good as everyone believes. He’s a complimentary dman imo

Yeah right. They may win, may lose but the game will be boring as poop. No doubt about that.

I'd unload the (frank)ing roster to make this happen while still keeping Kessel somehow. I'd move Guentzel for Tarasenko if that's what it took to get that deal done.

Complimentary or not, he's young, mobile, solid defensively and in the transition game, steady, good contract, and he was a beast last playoffs.

If he was better offensively, he'd be making $7M a year.

Little food for thought regraded Brass.

He’s good but he’s not going to be the top dog on any pairing. Which is why I said he’s not as good as everyone believes.

Indeed. The big issue with Brass is that many (myself included) thought he would kill it against other teams third lines. I thought he would be able to drive play even with 3rd line caliber wings.

In the article, Gretz states at the beginning that Brass is a number 2 on most teams, "On some teams he might even be a low level No. 1 center. " , Then goes ahead and compares him to 3C's around the league and says he's on par. I think most of us thought he'd be above par not inline with guys like Vermette etc.

I 100% agree we're not finding better at that price and he has improved the team whenin the line up.

He definitely isn't young.

Yeah definitely missed that. 27 isn’t young hahaha

Agree.

Just saw another report:
The St. Louis Blues have informed teams that all players are available, including Vladimir Tarasenko, per Jeremy Rutherford. #STlBlues
