They are easily the worst team to ever make the Final. Finished with 68 points, 6th fewest in the league. Hockey is funny sometimes.BillP. wrote: Wed Apr 29, 2020 1:23 am Was watching the 90-91 All Star Gm tonight. Did not know Hull had to miss game because of ankle injury and Oates got his spot.
Funny thing was, they interviewed Lindros cause he was going to be the first pick in draft. Bill Clement mentioned some possible destinations like Quebec, New Jersey and Minnesota, and he asked him if he had a preference and Lindros said he had no preference at all and just wanted to play hockey
Didn’t know Minnesota was that low in the standings at the time, cause remember, they made the Finals that year.
Yeah, but were they last in the league halfway through the regular season?Dave's a mess wrote: Wed Apr 29, 2020 11:29 amThey are easily the worst team to ever make the Final.

they are talking about the games being played to empty arenas. it's about TV revenue, especially for smaller market teams so they don't go bankrupt.
All hope is not lost. Stillman's got 35 or so VPs on his payroll to pick up the slack. Maybe one less, since Hullie was last seen wading into the Mississippi beneath the Arch looking for not-quite-empty liquor bottles.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Wed Apr 29, 2020 4:35 pmWell the Blues announced they are now furloughing employees so I doubt it.

Me too! What I hate is that they're changing the lottery odds/format. If they feel like they need to have the draft in June, fine, whatever. But don't mess with the odds. If some team that's currently 1 point out of the playoffs wins the lottery, then goes on a crazy run to the Cup if this season is resumed, SO WHAT?!? The odds are minuscule, and the worst thing that happens is the number one prospect doesn't have to waste the first few years of his career on a dogshit team. I don't want tankers to be rewarded, and that's what happens here.

Plus as far as draft odd/position, It should be like it was in the lockout season and they just take your average for the previous couple years. Not every team even played the same amount of games. You can just look up and down the standings how games in hand are going to effect teams by several draft positions.Dave's a mess wrote: Mon May 04, 2020 2:43 pmDave's a mess wrote: Mon May 04, 2020 1:40 pmMe too!

So dumb. Keep these poor kids out of Detroit.
Based on the timeline of this video, the fact that the player is a right shot, and that he appears to be wearing #14, I am going to go out on a limb and say that it was Mike Murphy in that video. Played parts of 71-72 and 72-73 with the Blues.BillP. wrote: Mon May 04, 2020 3:27 pm Saw this on HF Boards and I thought I'd share it.
Wish NBC would use this music for it's intro with updated video. Music kicks ass IMO. Love this intro. There's 3 or 4 shots of Blues in this video. Have no idea who that right handed shot is for the Blues that flies thru the picture. And you can see Unger in the background towards the end.

Was that a Quinn Martin Production? I kept waiting for Barnaby Jones to dig the puck outta the corner, and feed it to Dan August all alone in front of the net, who'd roof it past a sprawling Frank Cannon.BillP. wrote: Mon May 04, 2020 3:27 pm Saw this on HF Boards and I thought I'd share it.

I think Detroit getting the #1 pick would be a huge win for Ottawa. I don’t envy Yzerman having to make that call in this draft.Dave's a mess wrote: Mon May 04, 2020 2:43 pmDave's a mess wrote: Mon May 04, 2020 1:40 pmMe too!

I'm sure there will be a draft thread, but I'm curious who are names you like in the Blues range? I know you like Fins, Roni Hirvonen or too small?NHLTIM wrote: Tue May 05, 2020 8:44 am

The only argument that makes a lick of sense to me is that most of the scouts contracts run out in the end of June. Other than that its just an attention grab. They can't even say with any confidence that there will be a Cup awarded this year.BluesSK wrote: Tue May 05, 2020 1:00 pm I despise the idea of having a draft before the Cup has been handed out.
Should be an even odds lottery among every team if that is the case.
