Waived: Scott Darling and Valentin Zykov

[Lempo]

Interesting concept with the forced waiver scenario. I have no idea how the conditioning stints work but Zykov’s seemed a bit out of the ordinary. Rod’s comments were just an explanation of waivers which would also be the league’s concern in this case.

Non-injury-related conditioning stint certainly looks like something that just calls to be abused, and the league does watch over them.

Sabers weren't allowed to put Grigorenko on one in 2013, as it was deemed a circumvention attempt to the CHL transaction agreement rules that forbid loaning a player under twenty years old to AHL.

Man, who did Zykov piss off?

 

[ONO94]

Look, I'mma let y'all finish but Rocket City Trash Pandas might be the greatest name in sports history.

All I know is that Straight to Ale better be doing a beer with that name....

 

[AD Skinner]

Off-topic. Florida Everblades is one of the coolest names in minor-league sports. I will fight you if you disagree.

Their jerseys with the teeth stripes are completely awesome too

Well, he played fortnight in AHL. My guess is the Vancouver guy.

 

[dogbazinho]

Well we cant take 2 steps forward without taking 2 back.

There's a Cookout nearby the Pineville Bojangles if thats what @The Faulker 27 prefers.

Best milkshake at cookout is banana pudding... add that to the fight agenda.

Banana fudge, you mean.

 

[BrindAmours Army]

Oh blessed Odin thank you for answering my prayers. It's well worth it even with the Russian sacrifice

 

[My Special Purpose]

(If this board ever actually does a get together, it's so much more likely to be at Bojangles than at an actual hockey game)

I'd be willing to bet at least three of us have been at the same Bojangles at the same time and just didn't know it. Does that count?

so bishop comes up (....ok) and haydn fleury goes to IR. presumably pesce coming off IR as well considering he practiced today? where does that leave us as far as numbers go? does it matter? is anyone here?

I have no answers for you, but I did want you to know that I'm here. And I care.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we used to have a tailgate meetup at the last home game of the season, yeah? Then, I'm assuming, the Canes sucked the life out of everybody and we just stopped doing it.

 

[Novacane]

Assuming Darling clears waivers, is he just going to float around in goalie purgatory? Will he split the net with promising prospect Alex Nedeljkovic?

Whatever the game plan — and it’s one the organization is still deliberating on as of late Thursday afternoon — Charlotte Checkers head coach Mike Vellucci is adamant it won’t get in the way of Nedeljkovic’s development.

“Ned (Nedeljkovic) is the goalie of the future,” Vellucci said. “He’s had two great years here. We want to make sure whatever we do with him is in the best interest of that future.”

Is this the end of the Hurricanes’ Scott Darling...

Talk about worlds colliding. Face to face would be hilarious. Like "oh, you're not what I was expecting". To see message board personalities translate in to real humans. That's just a funny thought.

I played stick and puck with tarheel once and he looked about like what I imagined. Seemed like a cool Dad too

 

[Dr Quincy]

A stick and puck get together would be fun.

they're gonna kill him?

 

[Roboturner913]

on second thought, nm, seems warranted

Banana Pudding is the Gretzky of Cookout milkshakes. Nothing comes close.

Yes. We should do this. Tell me where and when.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

[geehaad]

Got together with @DaveG and Jonathan (fka DaleCooper...can’t remember his current username) and someone else for ... the Draft, maybe? ... at a Buffalo WW a decade ago.

Did this to some extent in the early days of '00s during my extensive online chat room addiction hobby. I can't say anyone would have been a big surprise or something completely unexpected in real life.

There are two kinds of people on message boards. 1) Those who wouldn't think twice about meeting IRL with people they know from message boards.

and

2) those who would do anything to keep from meeting IRL with people they know from message boards

(I'm probably the latter tbh)
