[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Geez, I thought he died...

Don't do that shit.

This and f***ing bumping threads of shitty players when they signed a contract give me mini heart attacks.

With the PHL playoffs done, here is the update on Mike Cichy:

Broke into the top20 all time for points with 469 points. Top15 is at 494 points, so he might reach it next season.
Sits 16th in assists with 269, the top10 is at 306 so a season or two could get him there.
Reached the 200 goal mark and the 33rd spot all-time. Top25 is at 219.

For the playoffs:
#7 in points with 103 points and the top5 at 105 (but contains 4 active players).
#4 in assists with 63. Top 3 is reachable next year as it is 69 (but is an active players).
#10 in goals with 40. Top5 is at 52.

PK is absolute cringe on tv I can’t believe ESPN employs that dolt. Chanting Go Leafs Go 4 times for a national game when you are supposed to be a there for commentary. Just an odd guy

I turn channel when PK comes on. He's annoying after awhile. Not hard to see why some teammates disliked him.

ESPN: Entertainment and Sports Programming Network

It's an entertainment channel, Subban is there to entertain, this is why they got him, he's the most entertaining hockey personality in the planet and they've been trying to bridge the NBA / NFL market into the NHL through his appearances in first take with Stephan A. Smith and Shannon Sharp, he's trying to both educate and make hockey fun for the ESPN audience. You know you're not their target market.

Your hate for Subban is uncalled for here and i can't help my self but see other shadow motivations behind your post.

He's brutal. Guy is almost 40 and is still looking for outside validation like he's a 7 year old.

He's only 34.

Meh, he's 35 in like 3 weeks. Way too old to be this immature.

And still referring to himself in the third person lol

 

[Walrus26]

Immortal performance, literally.

Never to be old to be immature. I am a case study.

In the latest Hockey News there's a good column on Marc Tardif. An example of how the WHA impacted salaries, his last year with the Habs 1972/73 he made $14k. He got a three year deal at $150k per season plus a $100k signing bonus to sign in the WHA. He owns a couple of car dealerships in the Quebec City area now, hasn't been on skates 'in at least 10 years'.

Relax dude. I'm closing in on 30 and I still can be silly/childish/goofy sometimes. Everyone is different. I think you're conflating two different things here. Not every man has to be stoic and proper all the time.

His target marget are 40 year olds that act like 10 year olds (ie the American market). ESPN and the NHL dn't care about die hard hockey fans.

Different types of immaturity. I'm not talking about being silly. Im talking about a mid 30s man looking for validation like a child.

 

[Whitesnake]

Congrats to Sven Andrighetto on his Swiss Championship!

 

[ReimanSum1908]

I've not watched a single second of his recent performances. In what ways has he been seeking validation? What has he done, exactly, that is so juvenile?

 

[Bombshell11]

Ironically those were the 2 best rounds one of our goalies gave us in the last 30 years. Traded instanly right after that as punishment.

 

[Hoochi Papa]

The summer of 2013 was… pretty funny. We had bridged Subban to a ridiculous low bridge deal and folks defended it. Then Subban wins the Norris and we wind up giving 9 mil later on. So incredibly dumb.

And then in the cheesiest move ever, MB trades the guy before the new deal kicked in. It was such a Bergevin way of doing things and encapsulates everything that’s wrong with him. What a stupid dumbass he was.

Also, in the arbitrator hearing Bergevin and Therrien shat on Subban so badly that P.K. was furious. I still believe Molson had to intervene, because in the end Subban got more than he asked for. Even after lowball bridge contract they could've signed Subban to a reasonable extension but instead Marc had to treat him like shit, talk him down and pinch every f***ing penny.

His trade value for Subban was far too low. Just because Weber's broken down body made him LTIR eligible and removed his salary doesn't make it a great deal. Bergie was bailed of his stupidity. No matter what happened to Subban afterwards because no one knew his decline would be so steep. At the time of trade Subban was still elite and four years younger while Weber's contract was atrocious piece of crap. Nashville fleeced him.
