Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

Makes it even more bullshit then.Here's what happened (stealing it from another board):
How dare you disrespect Duncan Siemens? @UncleRisto got an awesome avatar for a long time thanks to him.

If I was a player on the opposing team it would make me grin.

Wasn't he just leaching points off of Stefan Elliott in juniors and the Avs bit HARD.
Ah yes, the Avs when they drafted defensive partners, Elliott/Siemens and Shattenkirk/Cohen…

I wish we got Lowry to be our 3C when the Jets were mediocre, he’d be amazing

At the time he was really well thought of, scouts thought he’d be a dominant defensive dman, there were a bunch of reports praising his leadership and skating. Turns out scouts are bad at their jobs some times.

It’s actually a shame that he didn’t turn into an overpowering defensive presence, because that guy in the second picture obliterating forwards would make so much sense

I think the guy in the second picture is more likely to microwave your cat.

Which, again, would make for a terrifying defensemen. Go ahead, dangle him, say goodbye to your precious cat.
Doesn't matter. The Rick Pracey-show wouldn't have picked Brodin in that draft.

Siemens was actually a good skater for his size, and was by all accounts a really great locker room presence everywhere he went. His problem was just that he had flat zero puck skills. Even as a shutdown defenseman, you need to be able to make a basic breakout pass from your zone, and it says a lot that Anton Lindholm handled the puck with more alacrity at the NHL level.

Playoffs are pretty much set but Boston maybe misses. Sacco is horrible and Swayman isn't good either.

I can't believe I lost that file. I would still be using that avatar.

At this point it was revealed to them that he's the devil, so they returned the VHS.What they drafted…

Interesting to see that regardless of whether he's a better or worse GM than Dubas, Brad Treliving might have done the one thing his predecessor never quite did in Toronto--he got the goaltending right. At least for now.

Former NHler Donald Brashear is coaching in the LNAH these days and got "challenged" by a player, he isn't impressed.

My favourie Brashear fact is that he was still paying hockey in his 50s up until last season
