  1. In the NHL especially, I'd say it's more about luck and getting on a hot streak than anything else. 8th seeds have made Stanley Cup Finals... it's just so random. I mean, Last year did the first round not feature Chicago vs ST Louis and LA vs SJ... I mean that right there are 4 very good teams and 2 didn't make it to the second round last year... It's just so random. Injuries play a role for sure, but definitely the seeding plays a huge role especially in the NHL.
  2. Yeah. Laine won't be converted to a center, he's a natural goal scoring winger. Pulju to center especially if CBJ takes him makes sense, they really don't have much Centers at all there. Like None really, they gave up RyJo who was their number 1 center.
  3. I just don't agree with that. Sometimes, the best teams don't always win. Sometimes it's the teams that get hot at the right time. San Jose is a perfect example of that. They are a good team but even if they win the cup, I still don't think they were the best team. They might be the team that lifts the Stanley Cup, but in my opinion, winning the Stanley Cup doesn't really mean you were the best team in the league. Just like Winning the NBA title or MLB title or any sports title doesn't make you the best team in that league. I go back to the Grey Cup, was really young but a 14-4 Bomber Team lost to an 8-10 Calgary Team in the finals. To say Calgary was the best team that year when the bombers were 14-4? I just can't do it.
  4. It's not Armia vs Dano. It's just a discussion. Interesting things about these topics is you don't have to participate in them.
  5. I'll go with a few guesses tho... McCrimmon is one, i don't think it will be him, i just think the timing makes me wonder if maybe it is. Mike Yeo is another guess. Former Minny head coach. The other one, Pascal Vincent, I hope it's not, i think that would be a bit of a letdown.
  6. Perhaps he wants to stay in Manitoba. Perhaps the Leafs offer was different than the Jets one. Maybe the Leafs wanted him to give up ownership of the WheatKings, maybe the Jets don't. Lots of possibilities here. Do I think it's McCrimmon? Probably not. Would it shock me if it was? Not really.
  7. Best team wins? Every league. Every playoffs? Explain Washington. They were the best NHL team all year. Look at Golden State in the NBA..they lost 9 games all year and are gonna lose to OKC and not even make the finals. This tournament is somewhat of a joke seeing as tho the team that hosts the tournament automatically gets a spot in the tournament.. Brandon are WHL champs and that's all they really care about. The Memorial Cup is cool and all but... being WHL champs is a bigger deal.
  8. Maybe. Maybe not. The Timing is quite interesting tho.
  9. No but I find the timing interesting considering Brandon was knocked out of the memorial cup last night. McCrimmon maybe
  10. Jets Win the trade by getting rid of a guy who didn't want to be here. Standings? Put jets in the east and they make the playoffs probably. Jets owned the east. Anyways tho. Moose to name new head coach tomorrow at 10. Interesting to note that Brandon was knocked out of the memorial cup last night.
  11. Don't think so. Montreal released him so obviously he had another year on the contract he signed.
  12. 3 oline. Kohlert. Harris. Shologan. Westerman. That's 7. My guess is 8 is Bucknor or a safety.
  13. There is a guy on another site... has appeared on hustler and lawless a few times also... an insider of sorts... garret hohl is his name. He thinks that the jets really like Puljujarvi and think that it's a lot closer between Puljujarvi and Laine than people think but in the end thinks the jets take Laine but has made it known it wouldn't surprise him if they took Puljujarvi instead
  14. Isn't Armia an RFA? Who is to say they don't trade him.
  15. Canucks have a long way to go.
  16. Plus Gudbrandson is only 24 and Is a top 4 RHD. Good player. Canucks fans need to realize they aren't and never will be rebuilding. Interesting Tho. Wikipedia the 2010 nhl entry draft. 5 of the top 6 players drafted have been traded. The only one who hasn't been... 1st overall Taylor Hall. If the Jets trade Burmi... you could add one more to the list of top 10 drafted 2010 picks who have been traded
  17. Hens love Roosters Geese love Ganders Everyone else loves Tim Flanders
  18. Here's mine... Our media are morons. It rained. I'll say this... unless one of the forum members were there... I doubt since it poured.... I'd refer folks to Mike O'shea and the interviews on the bomber site and twitter
  19. I'd say Muamba WAS a great player. I'm not 100 percent convinced he still is. Didn't think he looked that good with Montreal last year in his 2 or 3 games. Looked 2 big. Looked like maybe he still had nfl on the brain. I'm not gonna crap on a guy who is trying very hard to live his dream.... we all want to live our dream and not many of us really get 2.... I respect henoc for what he did as a bomber. I lose some respect for the gong show world tour he put on last year and I have no respect for his agent
  20. Interesting trade. Canucks are an example of a team that really needs to blow it up and rebuild but the owner and Vancouver tge city for that matter don't have the patience for it so they will be stuck in a bad place for a while. I'd say that I feel sorry for Canucks fans but they are such bandwagon jumpers that I'm not.
  21. Ehlers was a legit rookie. Armia was drafted same year as Scheifele. I like armia but right now he's all sizzle and no steak... like a Finnish Burmistrov. Armia is also a slow starter out of the gates. I get you like him.. I do also but... it's Dano over armia all day everyday
  22. Armia had 10 points in 34 games. Dano had like 8 in like 20. Armia isn't a lock to make the team regardless of what you think or say or believe. Petan Copp Armia = 1st line AHL
  23. 3 hour raws with half a roster?
  24. Not surprised about eden at all.
  25. Yup. He should resign for sure. Helps that him and more importantly his wife are big fans of winnipeg. Littles wife does a huge amount of work in the community especially with animals
