gruven 530 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 https://twitter.com/i/events/1080901276768989184 Seriously have to wonder about people who do this to a kid not to defend ANY kind of bullying, because it’s all wrong and there is NEVER a reason... but Comtois was already a target because of the diving incident. This just gave assholes even more wrong justification to pile onto a kid. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Bullying on twitter and social media is done by cowards..I am all for chirping professional athletes like"Crosby you suck" "ovy you cant score on a breakaway if the Russian mob was after you" ..I mean chirping athletes that make millions of dollars is part of the game..But these are kids and should be left alone..

mrdannyg 274 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 People chirping athletes just because they’re rich and slightly older is still laughable, mean and extremely childish. And it’s that example that leads kids and jerks to think it’s ok to harass on social media and elsewhere. Someone having a big bank account does not give you leeway to be an ******* to them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not what I meant...Chirping is ok if they are pro athletes ..Like the cool little exchange Crosby had with a fan. Bullying is NOT ok on any level. Link to post Share on other sites

Bullying is NOT ok on any level. Problem of course is that plenty of people would call the kind of chirping that happens every day “bullying” and what was referred to in the post that started this exchange as “chirping”. The kind of non-attacking jokes in the Crosby exchange are obviously fine but there’s a lot of gray area after that. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The Edmonton Oilers situation gets weirder. Connor McDavid will start the so-called second half of the season centering Ty Rattie and Milan Lucic. What an organization. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Carter Hart's numbers have been pretty impressive, considering the goaltending mess the team was in all year. Would they be a playoff team or a contender if Hart played all year? Link to post Share on other sites

Would they be a playoff team or a contender if Hart played all year? such a fine line between the mediocre teams that will make the playoffs and those that won't. Great goaltending can go a long long way. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hart's been very good, and I really like him as a prospect, but I think its still a very small sample, esp for a gtd. The team itself has played a little better in front of him too. Still, would be nice to see what Philly can do with a solid gtd, esp one that lasts a few years and not just a year.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I dont know what it is, but I have a lot of love for the Habs being on TV, and seeing those jerseys. Im guessing its nostalgia from my youth of the Habs being option #2 on Sat nights, and me always appreciating how great the team always played when I was young. Seemed like they were always a contender. So even now, random afternoon game vs NJ, and Im looking forward to watching it for a few mins at least, even if neither team is all that great this year. I hated how often they knocked out the Whalers, but man, its just such a franchise, such an iconic jersey. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Anyone know of a website that grades the strength of schedule for remaining games of the NHL season? Im trying to make a trade in one of my leagues, and figuring out which gtd out of Bishop-Dubnyk-Holtby....maybe Rinne. (Rinne salary too much prob) Categories are Wins+GAA, so Im wondering if any of these gtd play a weaker sched than the others. Link to post Share on other sites

It is definetely a small sample size and probably a lot to ask a rookie goalie to play 50-60 games... Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 What a disaster for them. I feel really bad for Glen Gulutzan. He has a lot of ties to Fresno as he spent a significant time here. We have a lot of mutual friends with him, and they all say he is such an amazing guy. Link to post Share on other sites

After their big 3 forwards the rest aren't really better than AHL players. Link to post Share on other sites
