For a team like Anaheim that doesn't have to worry about cap space, he only costs a little more than league-minimum. With a young team, he brings some toughness to the roster and can show the players what it takes to be a day-to-day professional in the NHL. He can say things that younger players might listen to more than if the coach was saying the same things.
For a team like Boston, it really doesn't make any sense at all, except for trying to recapture the magic of 2011.

Holy ####. On a web forum that has user like Springs1, MichaelHA, PIMking and many more, this very well might truly be the dumbest, worst post I have ever read on this site in my ~15 being here. Gotta be up there.
Don't really have anything to say about the thread's topic other than wanting to comment how terrible that post was

I'm half black so I can assure you that its not "the choices I have made". One article was about a immigrant stabbing someone 20 days after getting refugee status. The comments went off the rails about how all immigrants are bad and they hate Africans with 200 upvotes to each post... MSN seems to use Toronto Sun and National Post for the news feed section which is very Conservative and they dont moderate the comments well.
Im not talking about personalized ads tracked from Google search's or Bing. Those are all woman's clothes ads because of my wife lol. Its MSNs default dashboard. There is a whole thread on MSN's help board of other people complaining about the same thing. It just seems to be their default news providers. Maybe you don't read the comments on their articles I take it. The headlines are right leaning but the comments seem to take it over the edge to extreme every single article. I've already filled a complaint about their default providers and moderation. Anyways thats my piece I don't want to derail this thread any more.

Not specifically.
But the existence of the first rumour pointed to a willingness to waive in my mind, which makes another rumour more likely to bear fruit.

Size and grit along with some leadership and playoff experience. Adding him would be like Sutter want Lewis as a 4th line depth. Yeah, the only drawback is his final year remaining on his contract.

Come to Calgary, one of the top trending places gives you a poop virus!
Jerusalem Shawarma- where we got 200 people sick across 4 locations from a virus mainly spread by not washing your hands after pooping!
Although AHS has since given an all clear, reading their most recent inspections, I wouldn't go back

I like Lucic, but would be hilarious if the Flames traded him while the Oilers pay Neal 2M for the next 3 seasons.

Its funny how infecting people with a poop virus, then acting like a child when called out on it, only to apologize later, stains your reputation among some longer then expected.

I dont know, I noticed that to. I used to have a Google Nest Wifi system so maybe it heard me saying Trump is an idiot and it mistook that for I love Trump ??? I need to start covering my walls in tinfoil or something so it doesn't transmit to the mothership. Things are getting weird.
