And many fans and media take the bait every single time. Hook, line and sinker.

Dubois:"When I learned that Los Angeles were interested, it became an easy decision for me".

Have fun with the homeless people on your lawn, bro.

Not even the rich are spared from the garbage policies of California, they have completely lost their minds out there.
i really recommend you two to actually visit California some time :laugh:

I did about one month ago. And aside from Manhattan Beach area and Bev Hills, he's not far from the truth. God forbid he needs to go downtown or Hollywood or any other 'exciting' neighbourhood, he'll have the hobos with their tents, BBQs, lazyboys on the sidewalk. Or worse, their poop wiped by a t-shirt in the bushes. Anecdotal? Not much, no.

San Fran, much better sites. That was my last visit to LA, unless I'm forced to go. Went down the dumpsters since my last visit in 2015.

Which begs an opportunity. Would be nice if the NHL partnered with every city where it has a franchise, to fight homelessness.

Get special jerseys made like for any other cause they espoused, raise funds, get people with solutions around a table and hammer out something that puts a serious dent into the abhorrent and inhumane act of living in encampments by offering alternatives. It won’t solve everything but it would be so refreshing to see.

Also I could see Californian teams having a little tournament fighting for the homeless.

Speaking about our favorite pizza-eating homeless Philip Danault, he said the Frank Selke trophy for the best defensive player should be renamed the Patrice Bergeron trophy. Yea he still hasn't grown a brain. It should be either the Gainey trophy or Carbo trophy.

We suppose to have "too many players" to bring in new guys or keep guys(Richard,, Belzille) and yet Carolina are signing the whole planet.

They only have 13f & 7d under contract after they signed Lemieux, so not really.

They didn't qualify Puljujarvi. Pacioretty is obviously gone too, and they're not bringing back Stepan or Stastny. They replaced them with Bunting & Lemieux.

On D, De Haan & Ghost are gone. Orlov is in (and maybe DeAngelo).

Bergeron is definitely in the conversation with Gainey and Carbo for the best defensive forward ever, even though in my opinion it should be named after the one who set the standard, #23.

Downtown LA and Hollywood have been dumps for a while. But there are very nice areas still if you have money. Venice and Abbott Kinney are like what St Henri is today except if everyone was a millionaire.

I mean Bergeron has been good but I would not place him in the legendary men that were trully specialists at it. Bergeron is more in the Fedorov conversation of "complete players". Besides, I prefer when guys have been long time retired before we name trophies about them.

Without looking it up, can you guess the player based only on these stats?
