How is everyone still not fired. Fire all these guys, back 50 million dollar trucks onto both Hitchcock and Babcocks lawn in the offseason. I'm so tired of this.
-.-
I don't even get this haha. context? Did he think it was still 5 on 4? It's not even an attempt at one of those dumps where you bank it off a teammates stick near the line. he just straight shot it ahahaha
I only saw a tiny bit of Calgary this season live. ive seen enough gaudreau highlights to think hes legit though. I do wanna catch a game and see how they look overall.

hahahahah
that is pretty sad though. Ryan Howard (Baseball - Phillies) just went through almost the same exact thing. People are fucking scummy man
Honestly I feel like the players unions need to step up on this. Set up some kind of trust for each player when they get their first contract that puts away like 40% of their income after tax into it and cant be touched by the player, it just gets disbursed on a set schedule so they dont become bums.

I dont.
Maybe you should just not cosign a loan for someone you know can't pay it back. lolwtf.
Why should the players who aren't idiots with their money suffer because Jack Johnson signed out 20 million dollar loan with 30% interest and then spent all his money?
The guy is like 26. Why does he need protection from making stupid decisions? Does any other 26 year old get a do over on fucking up huge and getting big debt? Doesn't matter how it happens. It was scummy of his mom, but he gave his mom full right to do whatever with his money.
Thats just ridiculous.
I love my mom, I trust my mom, but I sure would not give her control of my finances, and even if I did, there would be a clause in there that says I'd have the right to review anything worth more than X% of my yearly wage. I dont feel bad for him at all, I just think he is incredibly stupid. This is a guy who has a post secondary degree.
Nice comeback by the Wings tonight! First 30 minutes of the game they were committing a lot of turnovers (14 in the 1st period, IIRC) and looked like they couldn't compete physically with the Jets. With the score being 2-0 I figured it was only going to get worse. That second Jets goal seemed to wake the team up though and they came back twice to win it.
Tomas Tatar is on fire right now, he has 7 goals and 5 assists in the last 10 games. And I like what I'm seeing from Petr Mrazek. He's 22 but seems mature beyond his years.
Its actually really hard to choose which one of those last two videos is the bigger fail. I think its the Oilers one because 18 players and about 10 staff couldn't count to 5.
Shattenkirk though...may aswell have done a wrap around with how badly he gave that goal away
based on a paragraph in an article on tsn i vaguely remember reading last month he always does this? starts out really strong and kind of peters out in the middle? but every year he's getting older and d men always take a while longer to cook.
So the Leaf's players in all their brilliance decided with already pissed off fans to not salute the fans after their win last night. Apparently was purely player decision and coaches had no idea. While personally I don't think it's that big of a deal I can see how some people are pissed, it is a respect thing, these people pay money to see you, have supported your organization through thick and thin. sure every now and then a douchebag throws his jersey on the ice but that's nowhere near your whole fan base and no excuse, You're professionals getting paid millions of dollars these people pay your salary by being in those seats and buying those jerseys.
What bothers me isn't the no salute, it's the idea and principle behind it. The players deliberately decided to snub their fans, that is fucking wrong. I never thought I'd say these words but even Boston has more class then that... GG Leaf's can't wait to see the crowds response against Detroit on Saturday...
I don't see them enough to have a strong opinion, but what's the deal with Eakins? Shitty coach, or is the team just that bad? Or a little bit of both (what I am leaning towards because that D is shit)

Please, us Bostonians are the classiest of all the NHL fans. Habs fans are the worst.
It's impressive how bad the Oilers are. I picked them as my second team after signing up for GCL two years ago, hoping that I could watch them grow. But nearly everything is bad with them, despite improved possession numbers this year.

Both. I feel like we're stuck with him now because management scapegoated too many coaches and then eventually thought "Oh maybe it isn't good for the players to have a new coach every year" and decided that Eakins was the one we should keep for the long haul. It would have been nice if they decided to stop firing coaches before we hired him.

Vancouver fans burned their city down twice in the last 20 years. No one is worse.

Ralph Krueger was doing such a good job... I think I was glad they fired him at the time but in hindsight the Oilers showed big improvements during his second year.
