Ekblad is a decent defenceman. But between the hits on the noggin and that contract....





EDIT: After looking out at some of his numbers, it looks like he defends the line well, and has a good shot, but struggles a bit in moving the puck. Gonna double down on my hard pass.

He moves the puck fine when he's paired away from Yandle.

Manning on waivers for Edmonton.

Gotta love trading McDavid's best bud for the guy who injured him, and then potentially losing him for nothing weeks later...

Shambles.

Guess it could be like seeing any Marvel movie and a bunch of teen/young millennial female genitalias with their phone on the entire movie...

Yeah, people who talk or use their phone in the cinema should be shot.

He can lap my o zone on the peepee 🌋

He sure is purdy, and he’s looked a lot better the last bit....I wouldn’t put him in stud territory just yet. 😍

It's like the hockey gods decided to switch from tormenting the Leafs, to the Oilers and Sens. If you're those fanbases, that's not good news at all.

Why waste 13-17 bucks to just stare at text on your phone? Insanity.

Nah.

I signed up then forgot about the first few weeks lol

Doing fine in my yahoo pool though - took over a poopty team, started 0-6, made some trades and I'm 9-3 since then

Shambles.

It's amazing how bad their decisions are.


If they literally paid someone 200k pa to say "no, that's stupid" and it'd pay for itself in like a year

Sweet, I had a couple terrible weeks ( my fault ) and almost shut it down. Both teams made the playoffs I just scrambled today...we’ll see how it works out

You always had a good team, you should have kept going 😑

I think his contract will be in the goldilocks zone before too long. By the early summer actually, as he accepts the Conn Smythe from Jerry. 😶

Nope, it really isn't...

Well I hope it lasts as long for them as it did for us...

I don't think a single fanboy on HB would have made that Hall trade. Except Jersey and Flames fans.

Oh yeah, it was (frank)ing dumb as hell.

If it was Hall for Parayko, sure, do it... but Hall for Larsson was just garbage

Let’s not get too crazy...😳

He’s the 1 to be traded if 1 of JT AM MM WN have to go. Sorry to ruin your family day

But that's the thing - one of them *doesn't* have to go.

That's why I only ever go to weekday matinees. Then again, I only ever see one or two things a year, the whole movie theatre experience is inhuman.

Or go to a concert and watch it through your phone as you film it. Wtf. What's the point of a LIVE EVENT. Life is in full wraparound ultra HD with sound and smellovision too.

It's been years since I was at the movies - I think Batman was the last film that I saw at the cinema

but trashy, lots of people don't finish their popcorn or their nachos, twizzlers, pizza crust, maybe even a a bite or two left from a hotdog here and there...

Agreed. I like getting one or two pics or short vids to remember it by but why would you do that for the entire show?
