Re: NHL 2014/15
Nice night with Alfie last night. But man, the Sens can't score. It's getting painful watching Turris and Bobby Ryan fail to light the lamp night in, night out.

how bad does it have to get before the league steps in and takes the team away?

Re: NHL 2014/15
The league won't do anything. As long as they are financially stable the league doesn't care. At this point it doesn't even make sense for them to make major moves because the other GM's know they are desperate and won't give them full trade value plus what's the point of acquiring a couple players that will get the team from 30th to 25th? The only option they have is to trade some of their core for picks/prospects and plan for next season.
On HNIC last night Nick Kypreos was saying that Mike Babcock could be making a move to Edmonton after his contract expires this season in Detroit. If Edmonton can pull that off it would be a definite step in the right direction. The real issue with Edmonton is that all the ex-oiler greats that are involved in management are absolute shit at their jobs. Darryl Katz needs to give up his fanboy obsession with the 80's era and actually hire some true hockey management talent that is not related to Edmonton in any way before that team will have any real chance.

Kevin Klein lost part of his ear, had it sewed on, and scored the OT winner.

...Jonathan Bernier Humiliatingly Has No Idea Who Nelson Mandela Is
And a transcript of his remarks, minus the almost constant "uhh" and "you know":
Question: Obviously Nelson Mandela, one of the most significant historical figures of the twentieth century. What knowledge or awareness did you have of him growing up, or when did you learn of him?
Bernier: Well obviously growing up, he's one of the most known athletes in the world. A lot of impact in any kind of sport that he did, and even playing hockey, everyone knows him, right? From being the type of person that he was off the ice and on the ice. It's unfortunate that he passed a year ago, but, he changed a lot while he was with us, and he's a tremendous guy.
Bernier: I just think the way he met that is, you know, to me growing up playing sports with my parents was something really special cause I could share, try to be a leader, try to share things, and things like that where, you know when you're a group sport you need to do that right? Be as one, and I think that's what he met, and I think sports is really powerful. A lot of people obviously love to play the game, it can be hockey, basketball football, a lot of people watch that, and I think that's kind of the message I personally got from the…

Re: NHL 2014/15
Well, I'm OK with it. I think. Clearly he and Murray were not getting along and Murray is more valuable to this team than maclean. I liked him, sure, but I feel like this is a better team than what they've shown, dating back to last season. I hope there is a plan and the interview process is underway. But maybe the team responds and starts playing more disciplined hockey under Cameron. We'll see.Kiran187 wrote:Pos, what's your feelings on Paul Maclean getting the axe? Justified or no?

unfortunately murray is going to die sooner rather than later, so anything he does, he won't be around to see the result of. the real problem in ottawa is the owner is a cheapskate and they have about as much draw for players these days as the oilers and jets.

Though there's rumors surfacing about a new, downtown arena...not that that makes Ottawa a bigger draw for a free agent or what have you, but it'd be nice.

Two of the top scorers in the league, and we're a sub-.500 squad. And Giroux got a skate to the ankle tonight, which could make things a little fucky. (He's "probable" for tomorrow. We'll see.)

Re: NHL 2014/15
After the 5-1 lead, they basically let Russia dictate everything on the ice until the horn went to end the period. Fucking brutal hockey from Canada with a four goal lead. And now a PK to begin the third? Nonsense. Bowey's easily had his worst game of the tournament. When he's not making boneheaded mistakes, he's anonymous. I'd be throwing the body at every russian with the puck.
