We're moving onto bigger and better things. Emphasis on better. Tonight, around 8:30pm, the forums will be going offline so that Dave and I can begin the process of migrating our community to a new platform — Invision Communities. Same forum you've come to love (or hate), new software. Due to server/hosting requirements, we would have had to have upgraded to vBulletin's 5.0 software by the end of the year, or the forums would have gone offline. I initially planned on doing just this, but after spending the last 48~ hours test-driving Invision's demo platform (and furiously fighting errors wi ..read more

Decent two way guy. Checks some boxes (faceoffs). Understands that players who want to win and be a part of a winner have to accept less money to make a roster work. Maybe he's a target during the season or if negotiations with Zibanejad or Strome don't go so well. Any deal would have to be made with an extension worked out. Or do you wait and see if he hits the market as a free agent? He'd also have to consider this team as a potential contender, soo.... ehhh.

https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/...ympics-beijing 'The NHL and NHLPA have come to an agreement with the IIHF and IOC that will allow NHL players to participate in the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. The agreement does carry an opt-out clause: the NHL and NHLPA can pull out of the Olympics, should COVID-19 conditions worsen, or if the 2021-22 NHL schedule has been disrupted by cancelations, and the league feels it needs to use the Olympic break to make up games. The deadline for the opt out is believed to be in early January, sources told ESPN.' 'The NHL is scheduled to break from games f ..read more

We need to update the forum to vBulletin 5 by the end of the year in order continue with our current host. I'll likely be turning the forums off tonight at some point to do the first round of updates which won't change much, if anything. I'll also be notifying everyone of the larger change to vB5 when I find the time to run it. This will change the appearance of the site, and some of its functions. Just search vBulletin 5 to see examples of what the new version looks like, generally. This change is required by end of year or we go offline, and it's my goal to get both updates completed befor ..read more

Gallant: Drama with Capitals' Wilson won't 'overtake' Rangers https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2194061 With the direction the roster has taken, I think the drama already HAS taken over the Rangers. Hopefully it's some entertaining and fulfilling shit. If the next 4 or so years are all about going after Tom Wilson and the Caps. Ehh. I guess I'll watch. I watched (and complained) when they played like soft bitches with no direction. Now I'll watch a bunch of 3rd and 4th line role players take aggressive penalties WITH direction. I know it doesn't seem like I'm into it. But I am. It's a change ..read more
