Inches away. Literal inches away.

Dallas has found a unique and frustrating way to f*** us over at the draft, without deliberately trying to f*** us over.
Unfortunately, I think it’s painfully obvious at this point that Colorado is winning the series.
 
Yeah , if the pick is in the top 10. This is in the 20s so its not really a big deal. Someone dig up that chart that shows how the value of picks nosedives in the top 10 and then is pretty much the same later in the 1st and on.

Not if it's a deep draft. Plus, the higher the pick, the better trade value it has, if they go that route.
 
Under normal circumstances, it would kinda suck.

But considering we used it on Adam Fox (as opposed to someone like Ryane Clowe), I can't complain.

We basically traded for a first round pick last year and this is just part of that deal.

You make that deal for Fox every time. He's for real--and it's not just the offense and puck movement--he's pretty good playing defense too. He could be our best defenseman before next season is over and may end up best of all defensemen we currently have in our organization.
 
Anybody can win a one game series. You just don't know what's going to happen. Bad bounces, somebody gets hurt, a goalie plays like absolute horseshit or absolutely stands on his head, referees, someone takes a major penalty and the other team scores a bunch.
 
I never flinch hearing the term "Chip and chase." But hearing this announcer say "Chip and charge" constantly makes me cringe.

Stop trying to make a boring play sound exciting.
 
I'm probably at least as old as you. I too loved stat, kept score, etc. But my focus was always 100% on my teams. Even betting on games. I don't get it. People ask, who's going to win? Oh so and so. You really think they'll cover the spread? F the spread. Wins-losses in the standings are all that matter.

Well my friend...I can do two things at once. I can focus 100% on my team in this case the Rangers and also focus on how my fantasy teams do. It's not rocket science...just sayin!
