  1. Completely wrong? I doubt that, as much as i doubt your capacity to speak authoritatively on the subject because you "now" rub elbows with victims of domestic abuse. I should have used the term many instead of any. Self-esteem and self-respect issues are as commonplace, if not more prevalent, than symptoms of Stockholm syndrome, as well as a litany of others psychological issues. So there is a strong degree of truth even if i framed it incorrectly.
  2. The complete cynic in me thinks that's despite being regularly assaulted by her partner and father of her recent child, this woman is probably willing to tolerate quite a bit to live the lifestyle that being with a millionaire sports star provides her with. Any woman with an iota of self-respect would have been gone long ago. Hockey player wives are 4 times out of 5 just eye-candy and arm trophies. Neither of them would be there, in most cases, if there wasn't the $$$.
  3. Time to get your Redenbachers into the microwave peeps!
  4. Like ESPN, i'm sure they will require some kind of subscription service - if they even offering it at all to Canadian locations. Alas, nothing is free in this world! I guess i'll be tuning into Habsworld for the transcripts
  5. Cheers, Don. I'll have a look if i can get that straight off the web. Would be much more awesome than paying TSN $25 get the weekend coverage. UPDATE: i think ESPN is US-only. Says it doesn't offer the service in my region. I'm sure you guys will share your screams and tears immediately after the news breaks anyways, right guys??
  6. On a separate note entirely, anyone know where the Draft will be streaming for those particular fools who decided to cut their cables?
  7. Both are ELCs, but one is 2 years (Moravcik) years while the other is 3. Why is that?
  8. What do you guys make of the Larry Carriere move? Small potatoes?
  9. Then this is a pretty risky signing. If he can't impress at camp, he likely goes back home and we lose a year on the contract, right?
  10. I see Danault more as a very well-rounded 2C. Not sure how much higher his point totals can go, but he's pretty much in line with what Stastny is producing these days, and he's usually due to mis at least 15-20 games a season due to injury. Obviously not the same offensive pedigree, though, but time will tell if Danault can consistently produce at 0.5 ppg. I think the cost of bringing in Stastny wouldn't be worth it - assuming he's the best option for 2C on the free agent market (should he not sign back with Winnipeg).
  11. Well, looks their prospect pool is starting to help them turn the corner. Boeser is a beast, and i think they also have a few other special players that could join in the next 1-2 years. On another note, i could see MB totally going for Tkachuk. Big body, power forward. Wonder though if his pedigree is upselling him at this stage. Watch Ottawa go with Zadina and burn us for the next 12 years.
  12. Thank God. https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/canadiens-agree-to-terms-with-prospect-jake-evans/c-297822958

  15. Glad it's a 2018 pick. I think we're up to 10 or 11 now, right?
  16. I know of Kerby Rychel. Power forward. Left winger. Lots of folks liked him during his draft year, but he's been in the farm for a while now. No sure what he's projections are at this point. I know nothing of the defenseman coming out way.
  17. And it's done, folks. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/canadiens-trade-tomas-plekanec-maple-leafs/
  18. Oh shit. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/canadiens-trade-tomas-plekanec-maple-leafs/
  19. So who would you guys like to see come back from LA, if this does happen? Vilardi looks great on paper, but you just never know with these kids still in junior hockey. Not big on Pearson.
  20. Wow, that's quite the bargain. Hasn't proved much, but his NHL numbers were pretty nice. Given his age, i figured he'd be looking for more. But i guess being surrounded by Waite and Price isn't slumming it either.
  21. The media appears to have NYR also in sellers mode, but they are in the WC race, so i don't really put much into speculation. McD is 28 going on 29 this summer and is a lefty. While i agree there is some politics there, i think Bergy has made it clear he doesn't give a 2 F's about unpopular moves if it helps the team. NYR probably don't have a replacement in the pipeline for him, and their bottom 4 isn't really amazing either. I can't see their motivation for this unless they were stacking up for a run.
  22. I don't know how you guys feel, but i would do a Pacioretty / McDonough straight up. Maybe throw in a 4th or 5th just to sweeten it. The back-end needs such a retooling, and i see nothing of a top 2 on the left-side in our cupboard. Free agent pool looks like crap too.
  23. ... and 20 assists, which puts him in a 3-way tie for top 10 in points for a defenseman. Not bad for a 39 year old. 0.5pts/game isn't too shabby.
  24. Another great indicator of their priority on developing their prospects, eh?
