What an unfortunate name. What were his parents thinking

I had to read it a few times before I figured out what you were talking about!  I always wonder who is behind these fake accounts...like who spends the time?

"Millions long for immortality who don't have the first idea how to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon."
 
The league desperately needs to learn that part of why the NBA is good TV at things like the draft is that they have guys who might criticize a pick or an organization. Meanwhile in the NHL we get 30 "Boy, what a good kid. What a hard working kid. And he's going to Buffalo/Arizona/Ottawa. What an opportunity! Did you know his Mom and Dad are both hard workers?"
 
I do like that they're keeping Arizona's forfeited pick up on the board, because it's funny, but it's also a perfect example of how the NHL needs someone on a broadcast who would rip Arizona for that sort of thing.

Does the NBA take an hour to do 10 picks? Because that seems like a problem too.

Yeah. This desperately needs to be more business like. No more thanking fans at the draft party, no more letting kids or ESPN personalities make the pick...just do what every other league does. Let Bettman announce the picks then have interesting people talk about them.
 
I was out today.  Get home at 10:25 to see pick #20 on the board and we skipped Arizona?s pick so 19 picks in 2+ hours.  The NHL is incompetent at marketing the product
 
Yeah, the trades tonight definitely make me think GMs don't think much of this draft. It cost Nashville the #51 pick to move up 13 spots from 40 to 27. Earlier it only cost the Redwings a 3rd and a 5th to move up 8 spots to 15 or whatever it was.

Lied about this. Picked that guy. Wanted to sign DeAngelo if his contact was terminated in season.

I approve this new Trogdor-esque design. Needs more consummate V's though.
 
I?m really down on the Leafs right now.  I don?t have as much faith in the Shanaplan and Dubas? Big 4 vision.    I however can sleep soundly knowing our GM isn?t a colossal moron who trivializes sexual crimes.

The fact that his actions can be trivialized down to ?a mistake? gets me hot under the collar.  I?m really left astounded by how tone deaf the NHL is.

I do hope we continue to give Bergevin the benefit of the doubt that the Director of Player Personnel didn?t know that players accused a video coach of sexual assault while their teammates rode them about it on the ice.

what?

It's pretty obvious. You see, once this young man who shared explicit photos of a young woman without her permission gets his first million dollar contract, she will have the opportunity to be hired by an organization in a different continent and then...

i don't know man..

Women have voting rights, something, something...
 
I mean at least he didn?t say ?maybe if she didn?t get naked and have sex she would have had no consensual pictures take of her?.  Always focusing on the negative this forum is.
