Ok, just making sure it wasn’t both of you.

Easy choice.

If I can't ban you I guess I have to deal with it by reading usernames and not automatically recognize every homie by their avatar. Also you should change it to the giant purple foot from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Some good old fashioned hatred in this Sens/Bruins game

 

[Magua]

@BigToe can keep my picture until his annual draft ranking. I do not want to be falsely associated with that. It would ruin my reputation.

Maybe, but "we don't need to tank we have enough talent" and "tanking doesn't work how many teams in the last 10 years win a cup via tanking?" are entirely different arguments.

Also, I can't disagree enough that Michkov is enough. This team plus a top 6 center, a top 4 damn, and better goaltending is not a Stanley Cup contender. That's just more of the Hextall era "well maybe we'll make the playoffs and win a round" style team we've seen since 2012.

More middling talent isn't the answer. More elite talent is.

Counterpoint: getting elite talent is hard.

"We already have Lindros"

"We already have Giroux"

"We already have Michkov"


It all ends one way.

Booing and trashing Michkov out of town?

Fun game. Shame it will end in a shootout.

Broons Sens ot was pure fire, just non-stop action

2 goals in 9 seconds for Montreal

2-1-0 point system instead of 3-2-1-0 is a joke; it has always been, but nights like this make it more apparent. Yeah, if PHI don't make it PO this year - whatever - but how can we be worse off than 24hrs ago w regulation win while OTT-BOS and NYR-CBJ go to OT?

The Flyers are 26th in reg wins. They benefit more from the points system than any team this season.

I sat here for two minutes...1) wondering how @Magua ended up on my ignore list and 2) why when I was clicking on the "unignore" button, it wasn't doing anything...

I blame the peloton ride I just got done on this dumbness

I did not say we're not benefitting in general, just that situations like this make the flaws of point system so much more apparent.

Honestly, the standings don’t tend to change all that much with a 3-2-1 system.

Nice job by Artie Ziff to give NJ a double helping of regulation home losses this weekend.

Third periods would be played differently if teams knew they'd get three points for a regulation win.

Tough to see how would actually play out until there were real world impacts.

There’s still tons of draws in soccer despite 3 points for a win and only one for a draw.

It's a lot harder to score in soccer than in hockey, though. Not really a fair comparison.

Wouldn't have guessed the Kings spot.
