Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

[KennyBanyeah]

I think they could have a decent D corps but I think they're gonna be fugly up front. I'm gonna try to put together a roster right now... check back in about 2 hours. LOL..

OKAY.

I'm sure I screwed this up but this is the best I could do in an hour. Depending on who signs extensions during the year this list could get better but as things stand right now this is probably a close semblance to the team that LV can ice:

Forwards
B. Richardson
J. Larsson
A. Shaw
A. Wennberg
B.Ritchie
Pulkinnen
Q. Howden
Skinkaruk
Yakupov
Smith-Pelly
Raffl
Killorn
Latta
B.Gaunce
V.Arvidsson
Nieto

Defense
Vatanen
Slavvin
Zadorov
McNabb
Spurgeon
De Haan
Methot
Myers
Bouwmeester
Marincin

Goalie
Fleury
Raanta
Subban
Fucale

I tried to mix up players who were cheap/expensive (cap floor reasons), players who were young/experienced and a decent balance of D and forward.

A top six of:

Vatanen-Myers
Bouwmeester-Spurgeon
Methot-De Haan

is pretty damn good.

The goalie depth is pretty good too, but the forwards are just horrendous.

Let's check in on Jagr's off season shall we?

What an abomination of an airline.

...that's Avril Lavigne I think, in the background.

 

[pixburgher66]

OMG they actually think it's real. HAHAHAHAHAHA

It's more that they're presenting it like it's real, when they know it isn't. They cite a satirical website for the letter, they say Phil didnt write it, and then say "but that's not the point". No, no, it actually is. The guy won a championship, has been nothing but cordial and positive about the city of Toronto and fans, and the media tries to bait fans into thinking he's an asshole, just like they used to...again for absolutely nothing the guy did.

Its not the best but it does the trick. I managed a $97 round trip flight to vegas last november. Jack and coke for breakfast on the flight was good lol

Allegiant pilots won’t let their families fly on Allegiant! – Aviation Gazette

It's just so poorly run...I understand that you get what you pay for, but my experience with them taught me that I'm simply willing to pay more. There's no reason for the delays they have, it's just incompetent and unmotivated employees. They're likely paid poorly, so I get it...but when you're on the plane, looking out at all the employees on the Tarmac texting, you get uncomfortable. I was delayed over two hours simply because that's their daily routine. I'll probably stick with southwest from here on out. Always had good service, and they're compensated when they arrive early. I think it's more that I'm just not a good flyer...gets my anxiety going (closed spaces, not actual fear of flying) so I want the quickest trip possible. Parents moved to FL and Allegient flies into an airport close to their place...but I may just make them drive further if they want to see me.

The ECHL team scheduled the odd game at midnight to accomodate dealers.

They should try something like that in Baltimore. Different kind of dealers though.

I'm looking forward to the promotional activities with the Bunny Ranch and other local businesses.

Maybe the Bunny Ranch could come up with a special called a Gordie Howe Hat Trick?

/Too soon?

That's in Reno. It's almost as far away from Vegas as Glendale is from Phoenix.

Cum see the Black Knights take on the Cbus BJ's brought to you by the Spearmint Rhino

it wasnt my experience though ive only flown them twice and both times it was to Vegas ... that flight is a semi-notorious party flight ... everyone lubed up everybody excited ... i dont remember any delays lol

 

[dash]

I've flown them a couple times without incident as well and I can't remember any significant delays. You basically have two choices out of Bellingham, Allegiant and Alaska Air, if you're asking me which is the better airline, no question Alaska Air is, but they also are considerably more expensive as well.

 

[tducey]

So Vegas will get a team. Rather it would have been Quebec City. Got to think the team will be a failure.

I don't know how you can say that with a first overall superstar on the roster.

He should present it to Steve Simmons and wait for Simmons to lift it over his head and then Phil should punch Simmons in the gut (lol)
