Around The NHL 2016/2017
People will obviously make the connection between the Eichel rumours and this happening, but I'm not so sure it's the cause. Or at least, it is not the only cause. Buffalo has been a mess for awhile, from Murray on down. It's just unfortunate that they made this move right now as it definitely looks like Eichel demanded the coach be fired and ownership acquiesced. But at the end of the day, Buffalo will likely be better off for this.

Let's call him Rider S..... no no, that's too obvious.... we'll say R Stronson

So much can change when you are talking about hundreds of years. There could be a nuclear war while you're frozen. Then you get thawed out 50 years later, just long enough to see your wife and kid getting unfrozen across the room. A man enters and kills your wife and steals your baby. Before you can do anything you're re-frozen. Later you wake up again. It's an apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, but humanity is beginning to re-form society. You go looking for your kidnapped son, but learn that things aren't quite as easy as they were when you were frozen...

Guilty until proven innocent? I guess this is the result of having multiple incidents along the same line. However I wouldn't want to see similar action taken against someone facing charges for their first offence. Convictions, sure, but not charges.

What about the Bombers? I imagine they are getting MRI's quickly as well. But they don't have NHL cash to throw around...

2017 NHL Playoffs
If you want to talk about the playoffs then go ahead and say something interesting about the playoffs. No need to be the hall monitor. Does anyone actually think the Leafs are going to pull off the upset? I'm hoping to god that Washington gets it together. I don't think the Leafs would make it past Pittsburgh anyways but I really do not want to see them enjoy any kind of success.

I tore my ACL and MCL in 2005 and I had to wait at least a month for the MRI. Can't remember the exact timeline but it was a pretty long wait.

I like the thread about the guy who went to Reddit to figure out what was wrong with Riderfans and was shocked by their reputation. Really? You didn't know that?

2017 NHL Playoffs
It would be nice to have at least 3 right wingers who can score. Armia seemed to be coming around but there's a good chance we lose him to Vegas. Then what?

I believe we will see both. I hope for the same. Unless we all kill each other, nuclear winter, etc. If intelligent life really was discovered.... woah. I can't even begin to comprehend the ramifications of that. This one is really interesting too. It shows how little we really know about the astronomical bodies that are relatively close to us. Enceladus was basically an afterthought. So that makes me wonder about our discoveries of planets light-years away. How much do we really know?

2017 NHL Playoffs
Two totally different players. Frolik is one of the best forecheckers and penalty killers in the league. Ehlers is a skilled scorer. I love Ehlers but he is no replacement for Frolik.

RethinkIng Paul Maurice....
Very true, but I chalk it up to a lack of players as much as coaching. You could move the Lowry line to the 4th line and call it a shutdown line but then who is your 3rd scoring line? If it includes Nic Petan and Marko Dano I think that's the answer right there.... it's not realistic. However, next year if we can squeeze a scoring line out of Connor, Roslovic, Harkins, Copp, or maybe a free agent or two? Then we're in business.

I know I'm not the only one who likes to read about new planet discoveries and other Space intrigue. We have a new candidate for life-supporting planets, and like all the others, it's the "best one yet." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/exoplanet-alien-life-search-for-found-habitable-zone-new-earth-20-signs-cetus-sea-monster-a7691576.html Pretty exciting, really.

Stemp wasn't a huge loss... Frolik was, though.

Bombers Off-Season Transactions
Totally agree. He will be a great fit for the role they tried to make Ryan Smith fill early last season..... short catches behind the LOS attempting to get yards after the catch. Let's be honest, that type of play is going to be a staple while Lapo is here so we might as well find the best guy to run it.

Laine was already here duhhh.... unless we also picked up a clone? Which I would be on board with, to be honest.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Stafford is gone. But I generally don't subscribe to the "addition-by-subtraction" mentality. OK, Stafford is gone, that's good.... now do we have someone better to take his place? Keeping in mind that younger =/= better.

With Byfuglien they don't really have a choice... what are you going to do, give his icetime to Postma or Nogier? Come on. And Perreault took less penalties than both Scheifele and Ehlers... so who's really kidding themselves here? You're just seeing what you want to see.

Around The NHL 2016/2017
Pretty interesting. I hate the idea of a star player calling the shots, in terms of management/coaching, but I believe this is basically what happened in Pittsburgh when Bylsma was fired. Honestly I believe the Sabres would be better off without Bylsma and likely Tim Murray as well.
