NHL Break Thread

[ColbyChaos]

When did I ever pretend that? lmao

In one of the many Levushonov Demidov second overall threads as was already stated.

Canada having a close game vs Finland and Sweden should make them very concerned for the finals

Booing anthems is disrespectful no matter what the reasoning is behind it. Boo the team as they come out, boo them when they announce a goal or whatever. Don't boo an anthem that is for the troops that have helped make the West free.

And if Canada had any f***ing balls, it would have got rid of the real asshole who has ruined this country beyond repair. (Trudeau). Our country shouldn't have to rely on another country for our safety, and wealth. We have everything we need here, but are too busy forking our money over to other countries instead.

Implying that they could have suffered more than the other nations participating in D Day was an assine statement to begin with. Almost as assine as when you pretended Belarus is not a Russian puppet state back in the Levshunov vs Demidov thread a year back.

Pretty sure you have him confused with someone else... I know his stance on Belarus, we both belong to another message board that is politically themed.

Not to mention, I did a search for postings by him that mention the word Belarus... and there's not a single post of his going back to January of 2023 that even mentions the word. And that's as far back as I went.

Usually when you make claims like that, the onus is on you to provide receipts, FYI.

Just for shits and giggles I went back as far as January 1, 2020... and not a single post mentioning Belarus when I search.

Guess you didn’t look hard enough then. The context of the conversation was people were posting how we shouldn’t take Demidov due to being Russian and his government being tyrannical while clamoring for taking Levshunov from Belarus. I pointed out how Belarus itself is also run by a dictator and their nation is merely a puppet state to Russia making for the exact same red flag scenarios as to drafting Demidov.

Pez then went in a tangent trying to say how wrong for saying all that I did only to go on about how their country is a Russian puppet state. I know he is your brother but come on lmao

Just got back from Montreal and the game on Saturday. What an experience. Maybe the best live sporting event I have ever been to. The crowd was insane start to finish. Everyone in their seats 1.5 hours before the game.

It was also more enjoyable then some of the monster hawks playoff games of a the past because I didnt care as much about the winner. Just pure entertainment. Bell Centre is a must for a big game. Hats off to everyone there.

9 minutes last night. Literally every other forward had more TOI than EP.

There are just so many red flags with this guy. A couple months ago I could have probably still been talked into the idea of trying to acquire him, but I think I'm in the fully out camp at this point.

Not that he's likely available with Miller having been traded anyway. I think Vancouver may have traded the wrong guy.

 

[TLEH]

I was a massive EP guy but his play has not been good for a while now. Not sure if its injury or what but his GAF meter is way gone.

 

[GIADF]

I don't think it's an injury. He doesn't strike me as a guy to go play for his country through an injury.


I think the guy just got paid and is now coasting and it was expected of him to play in the 4 Nations tournament, and he just has no interest.

They’re just so fast and tenacious. I love the fact that Davidson is trying to build the same type of team.

this is why we need to land Matthew Schaefer!!!

 

[Wally1112pac]

EP was great when he was playing for his contract.

His play suddenly fell off after he put pen to paper...

Your reading comprehension is bottom tier. You claim I "pretended Belarus is not a Russian puppet state" and then you show a quote where I state quite clearly that their leader is a Russian puppet. Amazing honestly.

Levshunov playing in North America when he was drafted is quite a different scenario from drafting a kid living and playing in Russia. But keep on keeping on.

Lol. Him being my brother is irrelevant to what is being discussed. But good on you for finding one. Maybe the search function is f***ed up? I didn't feel like going back through hundreds of posts to look for something manually.

Btw... I don't think that post says what you think it does. You're claiming he doesn't think Belarus is a Russian puppet state, and then the post you screenshot is literally him stating that their leader is a Russian puppet... his post is in the context of the people in Belarus, not the country's politics. or dictator.
And just so you don't try to claim some bullshit about me not bothering to search for post history, here's the screenshots of the post history when searching for anything with Belarus or Lukashenko.

If the search function is trash like most of this site, that's not my fault. I'm not going back through hundreds of posts over the past year or so to find a post that supports your claim. That's on you. The icing on the cake, though, is you finding and using a post that doesn't actually support your claim.

My two hopeful scenarios:

Draft Schaefer, trade Korchinski and Leafs 1st (add later pick if necessary)for chance to draft Desnoyers if available (pipe dream Lundell..is he playing center?).

Or…
Draft Misa.

Edit: Oops…meant for draft thread.

Yeah, Lundell is their 3C behind Barkov and Bennett, but I could see them not letting him out of their control if Bennett walks as a UFA. Would love Lundell if we could somehow get him though.

Apparently they were dealing with a pretty bad flu going around the room, quite possible he was hit by it. Tough to say.

I read after posting that on the Canucks board that he was straight up benched.
