  1. nice, i got a few payments that i need help figuring out who they belong to

    you can PM me if you dont want your real name on the board

    Also who is averyssloppythirds

    I'm Rich.

  2. I bet Brooklyn is hating that trade they made with Boston right now. Haha.

    Boston is going to have a shit load of picks in the next few drafts. In addition to their own, they have Brooklyn's first rounders in 2014 (or Atlanta's, which ever is lower), 2016, and 2018. Plus the right to swap picks in 2017. All are unprotected.

    That was a lot to give up for a bunch of old guys.

  3. This is probably only interesting to me, but since the NHL adopted the shootout I've wished they would change the scoring system to one that places the same value on EVERY game (each game would be worth 3 points - none of this either 2 or 3 point game crap). Basically it would reward the best teams that take care of business in the 60 minutes, and create a bit of separation in the standings. I believe it's how some Euro leagues also work as well.

    But it will probably never happen, because the NHL is content to have this stupid illusion of parity, and more teams bunched up as the season winds down to create the perception of a super-close playoff race for the last spots. So, if the standings reflected 3 pts win, 2 pts OT/SO win, 1 pt OT/SO loss...here's what they'd look like now. Notice that Tampa would leapfrog Montreal and be tops in the league(NYR game in hand though). Tampa actually has 3 more regulation wins(41) than any other team in the league (NYR = 38, Wild and MTL with 36).

    At a minimum, the #DishonorForConnor battle would be even more epic than it is now.

  4. I initially thought that but it didn't take long to get me into it. And it ended so good with the Blue Snurf, I actually might rewatch the season again because, you know, I watched the entire thing all Sunday.According to IMDB, they already have 2016 as an end date to the show. Wonder if they will do one more season and end it.

    They're already signed on for at least two more seasons. They start shooting season ten in May.
