I do not understand the mentality that people that so and so cannot win a Cup. If Shawn Thornton can win multiple Cups than anybody can win in the right environment.

Well it looks like β-BRT G1 fell asleep and let in a shot.

One more to go!

I don't think you guys know how multiplication works.

Find out what they like and play it quietly so they can make out what it is but not loud enough for them to really hear it. That should drive them nuts.

That's the other side of it. How many legacy protections will there be? Will Jagr, Elias and Marleau be protected just because?

Yeah I had a hard time, especially with so many players you know are moving on soon. Staal won't be in NYR and other things like that skew this a bit.

Yeah but with how many players Columbus has to protect they have to expose someone pretty good. They will be desperately trying to move players now and other GMs know that and can fuck them over. Teams that don't have players to protect because of ELCs are going to win some trades I think and hope.

I started doing this then I started to laugh when I realized how fucked some teams are, especially Columbus. The NHL landscape is going to change drastically I bet.

What's on the Menu? Crow! In a recent edition of the VHL Magazine Asher Donovan was quoted as saying the following: "We just have to keep playing our way, we’re an incredibly talented team and if we stick to doing what we do best then it doesn’t matter what Brampton does because we’re better. I don’t think there is a lot of pressure to stay in first though, we’re here to win a cup and if we do it from the first seed or the last seed it doesn’t make a difference." The Brampton Blades finished the season three points ahead of Yukon and sports a 7-4-1 record when matched head to head with the Rush. It appears that Brampton used the quote as bulletin board material to rally their players as they powered their way to a 16-4 record in their last 20 games. Deadline pickup Jack Kraken from Moscow also helped power the Blades late season surge to the top. Stuck in the frozen tundra of Moscow Kraken only managed 18 points in 36 games for the Red Wolves, he managed to find another level when he landed in Brampton and finished the season with 58 points in his final 36 games. When asked about his boastful words Donovan had this to say: "Haha well I am not one to back peddle and make excuses, I thought we were the best team then and I think we are the best team today. Brampton is a great team and they should be proud that they made me eat my words but the playoffs are another beast and I have high hopes. They got hot at the right time and made their claim to the North American throne while we hit a rough patch and had to rediscover our game. I am a confident player and I have no problem saying what I feel so don't expect anything to change except I might have to play better next time I make such a claim." Will we have another article following the playoffs of Donovan eating crow once again? The potential is certainly there and while his GM and teammates may not be enthused about his bold claims we certainly are. Players who aren't afraid to put themselves in the spotlight make for great news. Donovan is newsworthy for another reason though because despite his team surrendering first place he did everything he could to propel his team to greatness. Donovan dominated the league and led them in several categories as illustrated below in our graphic. Once you look at those stats you will realized that Donovan put on an MVP worthy performance this season and it is somewhat surprising that a player could dominate the league that way and still have his team fall short of first place. I guess that is why hockey is and always will be a team first sport and Asher would tell you that himself.

Only 5 points and 13 shots though.

Holy fack am I amped up right now!

Haha that's not news, just hilarious cap management by the Wild.

I don't think my liver likes this news tbh.

My new low-key super power is to make everyone slightly unsatisfied with their low key super power.

So close to 60 goals.

That would be never for me.

Finally!

Stupid Ottawa, always Ottawa.

Why we keep losing?

So do I win anything?
