The_Admiral Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm really hoping that the Blackhawks win games. It's preferable to when they lose 'em! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Houston Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I bet my Red Wings are going to suck yet again this season, but they'd better at least make the playoffs, or this season's a complete failure. I'm starting to follow them as my team in the East and needless to say, Wings fans can just chill when it comes to anything. "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Clarke MacArthur resigns for 5 years, $23.25M. I'm definitely happy with this signing. MacArthur is a 20-25 goal scorer who would've easily fetched at least $5M a year in free agency. Hopefully now that his two linemates are locked in for the foreseeable future, Ryan will be the next to re-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninersdd Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Won't matter though. The team will still play top 5 offense during the year, and in the playoffs turn into the Greek soccer team with their complete inability to score. This has to be the year where I am least excited for it to start. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Draft lottery changes are official. The odds are more evened out immediately, and the lottery will be used for the top three picks starting in 2016. For 2015, the worst team will get at least the second pick; in 2016, they could potentially fall to fourth.In a completely unrelated story, the Sabres will be hosting a Connor McDavid Erie Otters game at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo sometime during the upcoming season. That's actually gonna be a ton of fun; I'm totally going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRadniz29 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thornton stripped of the "C". San José will enter training camp with nobody wearing letters of any kind.I like how TMac says Thornton wasn't "stripped" of the C, that the team is just starting with a clean slate. The organization itself is in a funk. I haven't heard much on the Ice Team/Girls controversy lately - heard it was supposed to replace the Tank Patrol, yet the Sharks are hiring for the Tank Patrol, so did they actually scrap the Ice Team idea?

Otherwise, they will be screwed into a long-term lease in a parched area with a sub-standard hockey arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninersdd Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 The team has no clue what they're doing overall. I guess they aren't rebuilding, like getting the best possible value for Thornton and Marleau this summer. But is keeping Mike Brown and signing John Scott helping the teams chances to go deep? I don't think so. Getting rid of Brad Stuart at least is a positive. The Hawks had sense and dumped Handzus and Bollig. In 2009, the team said repeatedly that changes were to be made, and after a quiet summer, the Heatley trade was made in September. Maybe there is a blockbuster that hasn't happened yet.
