IT'S MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!

CALL J G WENTWORTH.....

Jesus, I had almost forgotten about him and those hell-spawned sponge-monster ads Quizno's ran. Why can't every ad company be suba-cool?

IMO it's not whether the score evens out over the game or season. It's the lack of consistency in the call across the different refs. It could be attributed to human bias in some ways if not ignorance, which ca. Go back to their original point in a gambling environment.

I more so just worry the league isn't building enough consistency in how it enforces a call which leads to players being unable to build any rhythm in how they play on the ice.

Except when the Avalanche play the Blues, then it's ALL Colorado!

You're allowed to do that? Who knew.

I've just noticed Utah don't have a verified twitter account. Beer league outfit. Relocate them immediately.

Genius move if you ask me. One less way to piss your fan base off.

 

[Metallo]

It's very easy to not gamble.

I'm addicted to not gambling.

I'm addicted to not gambling.

I don't gamble several times a day every day.

I gamble...

Every time I let my wife drive.

Apparently Marek has done this in the past as well.

Oh geez. What are we gonna do?

I'm addicted to not gambling.

Me too. There's just nothing like the thrill of keeping your own money.

Already done the clown was fired. He has been giving out this information in the past for people to place bets.

Now fire that clown MacLean

Recreational hostility.

There's actually a pretty good millionaire quote out there that says, "If all you do is save money, you're going to spend your entire life working to save it." Food for thought.

And so has Adrian Wojnarowski. And Shams Charania. And so do a whole host of others.

According to a source "close to the situation", the Habs and Ducks had a deal in place at the draft: Logan Mailloux + 21st OA for Zegras + 2nd round pick.

Habs changed their mind at one point during the first round but it's not known if it's because they got Demidov or they really wanted Hage at #21.

Mailloux was arguably a top 3 dman in the AHL last year and it was his rookie season.

[Chiarelli]

Does he always only get half a tank of gas?

I don't believe for a second that Anaheim accepts that.

pics or it didn't happen!

Mikko Rantanen's old team TPS now employs both Adam Werner and JC Beaudin. I imagine this is big news to the Avs fans here who live in the Turku area.

Didn't realize the Ducks hired Peter Budaj until I heard Greg Cronin on an NHLN interview yesterday.

Kinda weird the Avs had a goalie development coach and then the one year they actually make a concerted effort to bolster the prospect pool in that regard, he leaves.

Budaj's reaction to all those goalie picks:
"What? You expect me to put some effort in my job now? F**k that. I'm leaving."
