NO Hell no!

They have no spot on the team. They're good at cyclicing, but they dont' score much. We have so many forwards. No room for them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAH

4/6/2008 9:21:02 AM

is it too soon to start talking about the fomer whalers moving to another city?

i mean, it's quite obvious that the fans will not be coming out for a team that cannot make the playoffs 80% of the time.

I won't feed the troll.


I don't see Bayda or Aucoin taking 2 way deals

NEW JUMBOTRON WATCH:


[Edited on April 6, 2008 at 4:47 PM. Reason : if it does happen i will probably be late july to august]

4/6/2008 4:46:14 PM

i think its time to lock it up and start the offseason thread

4/6/2008 4:56:46 PM

No new jumbotron this offseason. Probably a couple years down the line. Supposedly the new sound system could come this offseason, but I have to wonder if missing the playoffs could have any impact on that.

4/6/2008 6:40:48 PM

At least next year we go back to the good center ice logo

4/6/2008 6:42:24 PM

you positive? :/

4/6/2008 7:08:18 PM

^ Typical WingTard. Just barely a step above the Slugfans.

4/7/2008 6:20:32 AM

^^we'll be here to laugh when your Wings keep the President's Trophy streak alive by losing to the 8 seed again.

I'm not sure what good it does to bring this up, but fuck it

Quote :

"Forty-three wins. With the exception of the 2005-06 season, when Carolina won a franchise-best 52 games, the Hurricanes’ 43 wins this season was tied for the most in the entire 28-year National Hockey League history of the franchise. And before you try to qualify it by saying the numbers are skewed because of the shootout, Carolina won just two shootouts this year. Even if you take those away, the 41 wins remaining would be the third-highest win total in the team’s history, behind only 2005-06 and 1986-87. The only thing skewed about it is that 43 wins will likely be one win too few for the Hurricanes. In a world without shootouts, the Hurricanes would sit even with the Montreal Canadiens for the most wins in the Eastern Conference, with 41. More non-shootout wins than the Pittsburgh Penguins, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins or anyone else in the East."

There is also a HF Boards thread that has been ongoing for some time in regards to the standings system the league uses. There are 10-15 alternate methods proposed by board users, and they have tracked the standings all season using those. In every single method except for this one the league actually uses, Carolina makes the playoffs.

4/7/2008 12:26:33 PM

i saw that and wanted to break stuff again

4/7/2008 12:37:30 PM

I already knew that actually as I'm not a huge fan of an overtime point.

4/7/2008 12:44:13 PM

I want 2pt regulation/OT win, 1pt for a tie after a 10 minute 4 on 4 OT

a 3-2-1 regulation-OTW-OTL/SOL would just be penalizing teams for playing a good game

4/7/2008 12:47:49 PM

Or, as I said on HF, rewarding teams for shutting down the game in the third period to get that guaranteed point.

4/7/2008 12:51:56 PM

There's one lonely guy walking on the concrete in the RBC.

4/7/2008 1:32:53 PM

there should still be ice on the floor

4/7/2008 1:55:45 PM

4/4....the new 9/11

4/7/2008 2:50:03 PM

4/7/2008 2:56:34 PM

heard a promo to buy playoff tickets on G105 coming home today and snickered

4/7/2008 3:17:10 PM

that's not it's

4/7/2008 3:18:36 PM

^^^that's some interesting shit!

4/7/2008 4:25:23 PM

that just makes me mad

4/7/2008 5:45:32 PM

i'm more upset today than i was when we lost on friday and washington won on saturday.

its going to be a long offseason. i feel dirty and used like a NY Mets fan

4/7/2008 6:14:01 PM

Lottery about to be in a few minutes. We have a .5% chance of winning and moving up to the 10th spot. There is a 62% chance that Steven Stamkos will be coming to the Southeast in the form of Tampa Bay or Atlanta.

4/7/2008 8:11:20 PM

them are huge envelopes

5. NYI
4. STL
3. ATL
2. LAK
1. TBL

4/7/2008 8:21:10 PM

I guess I'm going to create an offseason thread unless anybody objects

4/7/2008 8:22:07 PM

go for it

4/7/2008 9:06:24 PM

I don't follow prospects like I used to. How good is this Stamkos supposed to be? Who do they compare him to?

4/7/2008 10:23:47 PM

One of the guys on NBC said Yzerman but i have no idea how close/true that is

4/7/2008 10:36:16 PM

^ I'm not a Wings fan but that's a bold statement

4/7/2008 10:43:02 PM

I'll make the offseason thread tomorrow.

That'd be a hard job to give up. With as large a fanbase as Toronto has, if Richardson went there and won a Stanley Cup like he did here, he'd be recognized as a legend.

4/9/2008 8:26:09 AM

If Jerry Richardson went to Toronto and won a Stanley Cup, then I would be pretty god damn impressed. Hopefully he can get us a Super Bowl first, though.
