2016-2017 NHL Discussion Thread [Archived] Hockey • Page 309

I thought it just meant that like Pacific and Atlantic would get a bye week together followed by Central and Metro bye week.

I'm just guessing how they align it.

 

That sounds right ^ I don't think they'd hand out 10 days off in addition to Christmas and All-Star break

 

Yeah, that seems right. I just read it again. That makes more sense.

 

well thats no fun

 

Is there going to be anything fun about the expansion draft?

It sounds boring.

 

seriously how fun would it be to have it be like NHL draft style. Every team has to publish their list and then it gets revealed live on the broadcast followed by who Vegas selects

 

I mean I get that they want to keep it secret so the players don't get bitter about being protected. It's such a unique experience that only happens once in a while so why not try and get as much press and tv coverage as you can.

 

If we are going to have to suffer through another Las Vegas stream where they announce the team logo and players I'm just going to be like booo.

 

Haley isn't in the lineup which is a good thing.

My complaint is though that the Sharks sent down Labanc because for some unknown reason. I think the organization is convinced Sorensen and Haley are both better at this moment which is untrue.

 

David staples is the greatest because of how much of a homer he is.

 

Sharks fan base: The Hansen trade is great for the fact that the Sharks will get Haley out of there.

*first game with Hansen in and Deboer scratches Sorensen for Haley*

Sharks fan base: complete silence.

also cue brokendown's "because that's so deboer" comment.

 

Doug Wilson needs to pull a moneyball and waive Haley since he won't stop playing him.

 

the backlash worked

 

Aho is going to be so good

 

Valentin Zykov scoring in his debut is awesome

 

Nice for one of our guys to do that for a change since it always happens to us.

 

Rangers have 3 PP goals in less than 2 periods yet had 1 in the last 15... ok.

 

Scum Getzlaf taking a swing at Panik with his jersey pulled over him after the fight was broken up

 

One of those games where Hawks will put up 40 shots and 2 goal, but the Ducks will have 3 goals on 15 shots lol

 

Every time I check there's another Lightning center being helped off the ice, I think they're down 3 now. WTF WILD!?!?!

 

Cogliano deserves an Oscar for that acting job

 

He is the Iron Man

 

Welp
