Well, we are back. Looks like i lost a couple of thousand messages. Haha. Perhaps just the dumb shit i said.

Seems like it might be one of the worst outages ever for HF.

 

[Corby78]

Looking around, did we lose anything?

Nice video breaking down big Pro

Every time I go into a new thread is from like five years ago

I think there's a thread fragment on our board that's part of a main board thread (the coaches thread)

Holy cow. I missed this place.

Maybe AWS can lend some of their cloud services to HF instead of dedicating resources to spit out realtime faceoff probabilities.

It'll be interesting to see how LT and Hill compare over their contracts, which are pretty similar.

Hey y’all, I’m a Bruins Fan but come in peace. Goodluck this postseason. Can’t wait to see Ovi break the record and follow up with a cup!

I’m curious about your roster future, considering how many great top 9 (more like top6 honestly) centers you have - PLD, Strome, McMichaels and Protass being natural centers, and Leonard incoming.

With Protass signed long term for cheap (calling it, this will be considered the best contract in hockey for years to come), could McMichaels get traded before he goes to RFA next summer? Strome? What do you see the most likely scenario being if they wanted to have a natural winger, and grab say Ehlers or Boeser, or even Marner this summer?Just seems like there is an opportunity, especially with Leonard’s trajectory, to make some extra room to sign Chychrun or whatever, to capitalize on moving someone in the short term.

Cheers

This website is cooked longterm unfortunately. Every regular poster is from like 10-20 years ago with pretty much no new arrivals. It's a pity because I much prefer the forum thread layout to the Reddit or twitter layout. It's pretty much impossible to have a conversation in those places.

Enjoy HF while we can guys.

Saw that. So weird.

If there’s someone in the current top-6 to move it’s probably McMichael, but I don’t think nor he or Protas are viewed as centers in the NHL right now. I’d been beating the Marner-drum all season long because I think he’d be a perfect fit with Strome on that 1st line long term.

I don't think the book is closed whether or not McM is a center or not. He always played better in the middle so the fact he's picked it up on the wing is good. Been pretty lucky on our center health this season.

With Protas he's just so good on the boards but I could see him being pressed emergency C duty.

Oh I think it’s closed….they tried him again and quickly abandoned that….again.

Maybe on a bad team where they can just gift him top-6 C spot….at the NHL-level so far, he’s been decidedly better at W.
