Hired the wrong DJ again
Sens are stacking their defense weird. Sanderson, Chychrun and Chabot all LHD - I'm aware someone probably plays their offside, but if your best RHD is Artem Zub, your roster ain't that strong

Watching Tampa is depressing. That's going to be us in four years.
Eh...it happens. In fact we've already seen it happen. The window closed not long after 2001 Cup run, but the Avs remained competitive until 2008 when the bottom dropped out. And it's going to happen again of course, I just hope it's fun hockey to watch.

I think if you can flip Bo for a good, young affordable 2C, you can avoid it. Tampa relied on their goalie a lot more than Colorado has.
Its kind of the nature of the beast... high end RHD are probably the biggest unicorns in the league, especially since Defense is where handedness matters the most.
Part of what makes Cale all that more special.
Better duck for cover!

1. Why are you searching his Wikipedia?
2. It comes from his shitty taste in tattoos. Not joking, it's true.

I picked him in my pool and wanted to see if he was going to be good-to-go tomorrow when that came up...

It's an honor to get booed in MTL. Unless you're a Bruin or an ex Nordique, of course

Since you DIDN'T ask, funny fact about my hockey pool - I entered a bunch of years ago with people from my work and I was just screwing around and picking just about every Avs player I could get my hands on and I finished DEAD LAST (it was the 2015 Iginla is our leading scorer with 59 points year) and they ALL mocked me so I swore I would be merciless and give them a savage ass-kicking.I'm just giving you shit.
Since then I perfected my strategy and won the pool 3 years in a row over the past 5 years and finished 2nd last year as well (FU Erik Karlsson)
9 Forwards + 4 D-Men + 1 goalie count towards point totals. Goals and Assists count as 1 point with Goalie Wins counting as 2 points + an extra 3 for a shutout.
I will expect your analysis report on my desk by the morning.

I don't think this is an all or nothing thing. Having an enforcer doesn't eliminate everything and not having an enforcer doesn't mean you will get your skull caved-in. There are players out there who will behave the same way regardless. But there is no doubt in my mind that there are a whole bunch of players who are influenced by the presence of enforcers. So it is a "contributing factor", but not a "absolute elimination" thing...
If we have 4 more years, it will mean we have been blessed!!

That really sucks for Dach. He became significantly better than I ever thought he'd be. He could drive a top 6 line on his own at center.
I remember when he got seriously hurt at the WJC...he never was the same after that with the Hawks. If he misses the whole year that could derail his career for good.

Boldy out week-to-week, on top of Spurgeon being out indefinitely the Wild might be hard pressed to keep pace in the West.
Wtf took Makar 3rd overall?
Whoever got Pastrnak in round 2 got a steal.
RNH in round 3? Wtf
Nylander round 6 is an absolute steal.
Brady Tkachuk round 7 is the pick of the draft unless it's a points only league.
How the **** did Ovechkin fall to round 9?
This is my analysis. TLDR: WTF is this league?

It's just an annual pool with people from my work.Its straight up points :
Forwards and D-Men - goals and assists each count for 1 point.
Goalies - 2 points for a win + an extra 3 points bonus for a shutout.
9 forwards - 4.D-Men - 1 Goalie count towards your points and you can set your lineup every week.
New this year, we have 2 add/drops from all the non-drafted players so if your 2 best players get season ending injuries at least you can partially replace them.
Some people have weird strategies that basically will prevent them from winning. Like the guy who chose 2 goalies within his first 6.picks...hey guy,.only one of them count at a time!!!! Lol
