Good guy that Michael Rubin is.

It’s a damn tragedy that this is what has become of Mitchell & Ness.

I’ve seen more than a few of horror stories from this line. I looked for the Sharks ones that I saw a few weeks ago that had the logo basically at your crotch.

This is the least creative league in the universe. Holy shit.

The idea that anyone was ever supposed to think that this wasn't going to happen when they had a presser for hiring him as a consultant last week was, at best, hilarious, and at worst, quite indignant to attempt.

Jiricek is now going down the Kent Johnson Healthy Scratch path. That's got to be the worst coaching situation in the league.

Where's that lunatic Provorov is a 1D just you wait and see guy that used to come around?

Strictly a financial decision.

It’s wild how many defective items make it out to stores/customers. You’d think there would be some type of screening process that doesn’t allow that.

I think it turns over next year for the actual teams, I’m gonna laugh when they start seeing some of this shit on their end too.

I haven’t checked this to see if it was actually confirmed but I read that SP is going to be making the jerseys for the on-ice jerseys and supposedly retail. They’re the same company that has been making the on-ice jerseys for years up in Canada. For the most part the on-ice jerseys haven’t been able to be purchased with ease in years so hoping that may possibly change.

So strangely enough, this could weirdly be better than the current situation but I have my doubts that Fanatics won’t be entirely separate from the process. Anything that that company touches turns to shit. It’s their entire business model. They want to do everything as cheaply and quickly as possible with as much flexibility with inventory as possible. Everything is made to order.

I think It’s part of the reason the Flyers jerseys are what they are. Piping on the jerseys and multiple layered numbers would cost more money to produce.

I will give blessing to anyone willing to dig that up

It’s probably good that the Devils have Rupp as their coach. There’s a lot of talent on that club. He's never had a team that played up to or past it’s potential.

Nolan Patrick retires

What? That was his whole career in Buffalo.

He’s won what? At best he’s the winner of a silver medal.

He is, but none of those Sabres teams should’ve sniffed anything close to that, aside from perhaps 2007.

They got into place to win but never were able to close the deal. Just like with him as a player, there was always a little something lacking that the winners have.
Last night’s game was Ruff in a nutshell. There’s no way that the Devils should have lost that game but they did because the Flyers did what his teams don’t-the Flyers played their asses off. As long as Ruff is the coach of the Devils they’ll never get the brass ring.

Well, yeah because they didn’t have players. They had Hasek, but he’s sending out guys like Stu Barnes and Maxim Afinogenov and Aleš Kotalík on his top 6.

How in the f*** is Jacques Martin back?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Maybe call them up?

Brandt Clarke is having a heck of a year too.
