I prefer eccentric.

100% hilarious typo or mistake while multitasking.

That's fair but it seemed to be an open secret for quite awhile that the Oil were moving on from Holland. It seems like whoever was making decisions before Bowman was signed needed to either have a better idea of what they wanted to do this summer or had inked Holland's replacement sooner. If they were willing to part with Broberg and Holloway, I think those two could have brought back more in a deal than what they got out of the poaching.

I'm a bit more pessimistic that they'll be able to pull in a good replacement before the season starts. Maybe it works out for them, but this summer has become a pretty rough look for them.

That's a good point. Really sloppy management by the Oilers there. With Draisatl and McDavid's contracts coming up, and the team needing to sell them on playing out the rest of their primes in Edmonton, this offseason and the next are crucial. So what do they do? Have a lame duck at the helm during the most active part of the offseason. There's the Oilers we all know and love.

Grier is doing a fantastic job over there

How about Nashville.... they have a huge amount of draft capital after getting some big free agents. Not completely sure about their roster build but they have the ammo to make a serious run if they can get chemistry.

Wild to think they have 3 x 1st and 2 x 2nds and "went for it" in free agency.

Yeah must be nice to get a 4th overall and then a 1st overall in your super tank seasons. Also having a ton of things to sell off.

Trotz is building a 5 year window while he’s got a superstar winger, superstar defenseman, and superstar goalie. They’re probably still only 3rd in the central though. I like their team but depth is certainly lacking.

So guess Watson is getting a PTO.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

 

[Henkka]

Motte - Glendening - Watson last season at Tampa....

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

I know he is from Michigan, but Watson has been a dirt bag to us in the past. Swear that guy only scores goal against us.

 

[saska sault]

Ottawa has become even more hateable with the Cousins signing, amazing his past hasn't stopped him from getting NHL jobs.

My god, horrible.

 

[Konnan511]

Holy shit. I thoughts are with their family. How absolutely terrible.

 

[saska sault]

Absolutely tragic. Can't imagine what that family is going through, and during a time they should be celebrating the wedding of their sister. Hard to sum up into words how horrible you feel for the family, friends and teammates.

 

[TCNorthstars]

Absolutely awful. My road riding days ended with the birth of my first son 14 years ago. It is dangerous enough to be in a car let alone a bike on the road these days.

Just f***ing devastating my heart goers out to all of his family

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

They were supposed to be standing in their sister’s wedding today. Oh my god.

 

[izlez]

This was so shocking to hear. And then learning every new level to the tragedy is just hitting harder and harder.

RIP

Everyone has a big ass SUV or truck anymore and drive super aggressive. Yeah I don't blame you.

 

[RabidBadger]

My god, what a horrible thing to happen. I really feel for the family.

 

[Konnan511]

Saw on Reddit... apparently good guy driver on the road slid over a bit to give Johnny and Matthew a bit more space as they passed them. And a drunk asshole driver took that driver sliding over a bit as a sign to pass on the right.

So, this damn well better be a learning moment for driving safety. Don't f***in pass on the right. It's not legal and it's not safe. Don't drive drunk. It's not legal and it's not safe.

This seems like speculation of a tragedy. I wouldn't trust Reddit as a source. For deaths, we really should wait for official reports. Not attacking you, as I know people get overzealous and like to share rumors, but this sensitive topic should have some form of decorum.

ASP: Fair enough. I'll edit it.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Jesus. That's horrible.

damn

Columbus feels a bit cursed between this and that fireworks thing a few years ago
