So who does Edmonton even start tomorrow?

>>149119567
I got all the categories for connections but couldn't get it done

>>149119575
I'd want to start so when I got shelled the backup has to finish that slop.

>>149119591
I failed today too. This was a tough one

In the science of rape, there is a rapist (panthers) and a rape victim (soilers). The former has a choice, the latter has none, although Hobson ironically said they did. But rape science doesn't recognize irony, so Hobson BTFO plus intellectually raped.

Reminds me of an easter many moons ago

Really crazy how nobody hears about Bedard anymore since the NHL stopped astroturfing him

>>149119686
Reminds me of panties raping laffs recently.

Fucking based Rat king. He's so good in >Muh Panthers.

>tfw mcbust no cup

Lmaooooooo

>>149119899
He doesn’t deserve one. He doesn’t have a winner’s mentality and he’s a shit leader.

>log into hoc
>trb crying about mcdavid again
he do be bubblin'

you ever wish your team had a better jersey or at least a different color scheme or is it just me

When bad turns worse for the Soilers McMuffin and Craisaitl flee to the locker room early like soft pussy bitches. What message does that send leadership wise?

>>149119984
no, sweetie, im a fan of an O6 team

>>149119984
I wish my team's alternate jersey was the main one

>>149119899
reminder that every ai prompt uses up 50 gallons of water and kills a chinese person.

Well?

Pouring beer on the head of a Soilers player. Yea or nay?

>>149119996
Shut the fuck up chambers

Got it in 4

>>149119807
Never heard of a 4-3 rape

>>149120041
Woodcroft

>>149120041
Graham is the likeliest internal option. Wouldn’t hate Woodcroft getting another crack at it.

>>149119984
I wish they'd get rid of the black jerseys. My team is blue and white and green once a year only.

Nah put some rispekt on my Leon Draisatl your guy doesn’t have more playoff ppg (the only stat that matters) than Messier, Bossy, Kurri and Crosby

>>149119550 (OP)
Florida is his home.

Can’t wait for the hockey Canada players to get acquitted

>>149119993
Reminder when hyman had to give a locker room speech since McDavid couldn’t stop crying?

>>149120259
gary will have to retroactively award the flyguys the last 2 cups due to hart not being allowed to play

>>149120156
wow he must have a lot of cups then huh

>>149120016
I don’t care. I’m still using ChatGPT to talk about my dad

business idea: 2 consecutive second place finishes get your team on the cup

>>149120371
three consecutive third place finishes to get on the cup

Why Oilers fans fight each other more than any other fanbase?

>>149120416
Would. All 6 of 'em.

>>149120062
When Florida does it: It's dirty and unacceptable.
When Edmonton does it: It's energy and passion.

>no hockey tonight either
Thank you Gary.

Selling the entire farm with Utah to draft James Hagens and Mat Schaefer

>>149119791
Gee if only the Blackhawks weren't such a piece of shit organization.

>>149119791
Everyone has accepted he’s a bust. Now it’s all about celebrini

>>149120555
>it's the Hawks' fault!!!
everybody knew they were a bad team when they made their psychotic predictions for him
even in year two, the NHL media gurus were saying he'd be a 100 pt player
then they try to retcon their failed hype by blaming the Hawks roster

>>149120041

THE NHL COACHING CYCLE

Haha holy shit I just marnered out an explosive one lads. I shouted out "this one's for Gary" and then it was over

/hoc/ tuah

>>149119984
i don't mind the blues' mains but i like the powder blue fauxback way more

>>149120593
yeah it is the hawks fault. "here Bedard, you have to carry a pile of garbage through the NHL with zero goaltending, zero competent defending, and maybe 1-3 other good forwards. good luck!"

NHL should've rigged their draft for the Canucks that year. Gary just wanted the hawks to get Bedard because muh ratings

I just watched Eck’s video on the commissioner, Gary Bettman, and his remarks about the income tax thing. I thought that was a joke and that people seriously don’t think that a 13% difference in income tax was the defining factor for where a player ends up signing to. Was he serious?

>>149120677
Wait a sec: if a hockey player needs elite teammates to be useful....then what the fuck is the point of hyping up any player in the first place?
By that logic, no player can carry a team, so what are you even hyping them for?

>>149120689
If anything the NHL needs to institute its own income tax and redistribute the proceeds to make up for higher tax locales

>>149119984
i'd rather they have a better third jersey but they got rid of theirs thankfully.
>>149120702
oh its you again...

>oh its you again...
nobody gaf about your shit posts

>>149120689
i don't care about the income tax debate

>>149120677
The >soilers were just as shit when they landed McDavid and he actually lived up to the hype unlike Busthard

>>149120736
just Bugmen repeating the Hive Queen's talking points
the Bugman gets deep psychic soothings from repeating NPC mantras

True

>>149120740
The Oilers have been a fringe playoff team and/or missed playoffs with McDavid every year

>>149120710
Sounds like communism

>>149120740
I actually remember when McDavid took 3 games to score his first goal and that injury he took from a borderline AHL scrub. Bedard's issue is that he's given zero foundation. At least the Oilers had Hall/RNH/Eberle to begin with. What did Bedard have?

>>149120736
Yeah it's just leafs whining about 1993.

>>149120787

“It’s a ridiculous issue,” Bettman said.
“When the Florida teams weren’t good—which was for about 17 years—nobody said anything about it. For those of you who played, were you sitting there with a tax table? No.”

Hockey stats are so shit.
It's amazing that 22 years after Moneyball, 10+ yrs after WAR, hockey still recites these useless counting stats

>>149120806
that's some steamy fan fic ya got there

>>149120787
Hockey is a team sport

>>149120838
stfu nerd

>>149120838
Analytics ruined baseball. Billy Beane accomplished nothing as a GM. WAR is trash. Keep the spreadsheet mentality out of hockey.

>>149120838
Seamus McHiggins’ lawyer in the bottom right defending his client

>>149120876
>spreadsheet mentality
Was literally criticizing copied-and-pasted stat table, retard.

>>149120838
Yes, Fraudzky would be Johnny Hockey today, probably dead from drunk bike driving.

>>149120876
>Analytics ruined baseball.
t.

>>149120876
Jewish owners ruined baseball. Some guy walked in and started talking about a made up nonsense concept but because he called it moneyball the owner went with it.

>>149120904
Spreadsheet mentality = advanced analytics like WAR

>>149120907
All athletes, in all sports, are "better" than athletes from 30 years ago.
They're not more athletic, at all.
They just are hyper-training from age 2 onward.
Hockey is probably second only to golf in this.
The point isn't to say that Gretzky couldn't play in 2025 (though, desu, he couldn't).
The point is that there was massive offensive inflation in the 1980s, more games in a season, no salary cap leading to massive competitive imbalances, and tons of other factors.
If you look at baseball, they adjust for all this shit.
Hockey's just, like, "Here's a BIG NUMBER! OMG, OMG, OMG!"

>>149120937
Yes the jewish owners who...spend money and actually give a fuck about their teams ruined baseball.

>>149120949
No.
Comparing Gretzky's stats in 1985 to Gordie Howe's stats in 1955 without adjusting for context is utterly retarded.
Yet this is the sort of idiocy that hockey gurus do all the time.

>>149120953
Moneyball is the concept of spending the least amount of money possible retard

>>149120951
>more games in a season
season was 80 games for the entirety of the 80s

>>149120991
Moneyball is still done by teams who spend money. You must be nice and cozy in a rock thinking that teams don't do the same practices with players on rosters with larger payrolls.

>>149121004
>hockey has different numbers of games played in different seasons
that's the point, dummy

>>149121009
Yeah and they’re all shit teams run by retards

For me, it's the eye test

>>149121052
Every team thats won a world series has taken a page from moneyball. Stick to hockey.

>>149121052
I beg your pardon!!!

>>149121033
how did playing fewer games contribute to the 80s having higher offensive stats?

>>149121088
huh?
"context matters and stats have to be adjusted for a whole range of factors"
how are you too stupid to grasp this?
why are retards like you allowed to live?
kys

>>149120838
yes and its amazing how hockey is also so ass backwards by refusing to actually utilize analytics. Why do you think these southern teams do so well? They invest in an actual analytics department.

>>149121116
exactly backwards

>>149121069
Every team that’s won the World Series has done so because it had a collection of Zitos and Tejadas not because they picked up a retarded first baseman for league minimum.
