OnWis97 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Gary Bettman to the Hall of Fame? Silly season, indeed. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/23915781/gary-bettman-martin-brodeur-willie-oree-hall-inductees I was surprised that Willie O'Ree was not already in...

The_Admiral Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Said it once and I'll say it again, anyone who denigrates the NHL for The Scott Foster Experience is a contemptible sniveling nerd who just wants NBA fans to accept him. Having a rec-leaguer on standby who goes from sitting around eating hors d'oeuvres to stopping a Patrik Laine shot is the good -- maybe even the best -- kind of hockey weirdness. Oh incidentally, the Hawks traded J-F Berube, a goaltender who was worse than literally some dude who's an accountant, to Columbus for Jordan Schroeder. Surely a Rockford/Cleveland trade in reality but Schroeder was an intriguing Marchessaultesque bottom-sixer at one time. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 JESUS CHRIST 2.5 FOR WARD. Apparently being one of the worst goalies in the NHL for years and years only gets you a 20% pay cut. Who are this man's friends?!? Maybe everyone was right when they said Stan Bowman was Actually Bad and one of the worst general managers in the league. What a terrible mess, this team won't win 30 games. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don't deny that that was awesome. That is a special kind of moment that is incredibly unique to the NHL. I just think the "Scott Foster for Vezina" jokes and those of a similar ilk are getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Jets toss Joel Armia to the Habs along with Sieve Mason in exchange for some guy; Habs buy out Mason. Obviously the point here was to free up cap space for Stastny and/or Trouba. The Jets have bottom-sixers to spare. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTConcepts Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The Islanders subreddit has been collectively accepting the departure of John Tavares by series of memes. Here's a hand-picked bunch, some made by myself. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 But then it would be so Islanders to get the new arena, the Hall of Fame general manager, the reigning champion head coach, Katie Ledecky's rich uncle getting control of the team, and then Tavares goes to San Jose or Dallas because he doesn't want to be bothered. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Being an Islander fan is like being repeatedly kicked in the nuts, recovering from that kick, then being kicked in the nuts again but harder than before. Two steps forward, fifty steps back, that's the Islander way. 6 hours ago, the admiral said: But then it would be so Islanders to get the new arena, the Hall of Fame general manager, the reigning champion head coach, Katie Ledecky's rich uncle getting control of the team, and then Tavares goes to San Jose or Dallas because he doesn't want to be bothered. We've since learned that Scott Malkin is the one with the control of the team. Ledecky was just a cheerleader to take abuse from fans riding in on the LIRR.
