I was one of them but that was a bridge too far.

I thought you'd appreciate I acknowledged the Crosby lottery riging

Next person that says anything not related to NHL talk is getting points.

Unless it’s Bernie.

It was cold out today.

Good day to get pucks in deep

If a team wasn't trying to get every tiny edge they could in that thing, they have no one to blame but themselves. Pay someone off. Trade it for owners votes. Bang a trashcan when your ping pong ball comes up high in the machine. Go nuts. No one will ever know.

Birds aren’t real.

I won’t be silenced.

The Flyers are too self righteous to try to get an edge in the Bedard sweeps. It goes against their culture. They don't need him, they'll pull themselves up by the bootstraps, hustling and grinding back to relevancy

I have a friend that built a functioning robot owl. You’re so lucky I don’t know where you live or you would have one too.

Send them all to prism.

The huebris of these people…

Yeah, as if I believe this government friend of yours, with access to fake birds, doesn’t know where I live.

Sure, Jojo. I bet.

Sidenote can Bettman change the lottery rules and rig another one for my Pens, I think I deserve Bedard in black and yellow

between Chicago or Pens. it will happen.

#darkest timeline

 

[deadhead]

If the league was rigging the lottery, Flyers or Chicago would win, Bedard in a major media market is their wet dream. No point sending him to Anaheim, he'd just disappear.

You ever see an owlsl's legs

 

[Lindberg]

I'm in the same boat. Especially leagues with daily lineups, just painful at times.

To me fantasy football is difficult enough and that's like (once a week). Anything that feels like a responsibility I tend to avoid. I don't even like planning fun trips (bachelors/etc), just tell me when and where to show up.

Michigan's don't happen if you're hard to play against. Proof is in the pudding.

Throwing shade here.

I'm of two minds here: does Bettman want more to pander to a big market or give a shot of adrenaline to his charity-case franchises?

 

[deadhead]

Big market b/c a team like the Flyers helps ratings, not just the Philly market, but b/c they're a "Name" team.

League wants Bruins, Rangers, Flyers, Blackhawks to be competitive, to a lesser extent the Kings and Stars, but they'll never get the attention in their cities that the older franchises do. Plus the time zone thing works against TV ratings - teams East of the Mississippi play when the majority of viewers are awake.
