I hope people who said the "but the kids are developing" argument realize how stupid that was. A season like this has to result in McEichel. I am sorry but Hanifin, Marner or Strome are not worth this.
It isn't. The season was nowhere near as bleak as it is now. When yu have two guys playing like legitimate top 4 D-men and can't even buy a drink, it's positive. Same with Girgensons.
And again, seeing the positives and recognizing what it could mean is not being against the tank.
Not only is it not stupid, it's not mutually exclusive. Kids can develop, and the team can still happily finish last.
Dearest Arizona,
Suck on this suck.
Suckers.
I HATE the word "suck", as it nearly universally exposes the poor vocabulary of the user when there are ALWAYS more descriptive words which can be used.
But I lol'd at this because of the 3 distinct usages!!!! Bravo!!!!
Technically speaking i believe we have gone from suck to blow
Although watching the Sabres performance this year has been tough to swallow, it will be difficult to stomach not finishing last.
You feel positive emotions?
Gold!!!
The Lottery has been observed in the past by the accounting firm
Ernst and Young, which is one of the world's "Big Four" auditing firms. The company is older and much bigger than the NHL, so while I'm sure there have been scandals, I don't see them putting their name and reputation behind fraud like a rigged lottery.
Quoted and bookmarked for posterity!
~25 years ago, there were 8, not 4. More competition is always good.
Indeed, they've all had their share of scandals and have endured. And yes, I can easily see the possibility of one of them involved in a rigged lottery. It would be executed by a VERY small group of people total (among all hands involved between firm, league, lottery equipment makers), probably on the order of a dozen or less, with not more than a handful of people knowing the full scheme, and likely no-one knowing all the exact details. The firm gets caught, they simply move out the CEO and a couple others, like Janus did with Tom Bailey.
We aren't finishing 30th. Say hello to Hanifin or Strome. We have what, One win the last 12-13 games? And yet we are still not in 30th? I hope people realize we are going to go on a few 2-3 game winning streaks. We will be lucky to finish 29th.
Already resigned to the fact we will be picking 3rd at best and most likely 4th or 5th. Thank you franchise crippling useless fluke winning streak a few months back!!!
And there's the daily drama, right on cue, like a morning coffee.
Oilers haven't even entered tank mode yet... we're actually trying to win right now. Just wait till we trade Petry and Purcell. Good luck out-tanking that.
Who is your avatar?
This is the NHL. The worst team can beat the best team at any time. The Sabres will go on 2 if not 3 win streaks. We just lost 9 straight games in regulation and we aren't even in last. WE ARENT FINISHING 30th. Very very soon we will win a few games while Edmonton will keep losing like the ECHL caliber franchise they are.
Refill. 2nd cup.
You seem sure about it. Can you gaze into the crystal ball and tell me this weeks lottery numbers?
I have enough money. Tell me something more important - like when is my weiner gonna go limp for good?
