I expect a Staples opinion piece disputing the player's claim using made up stats to show up soon. At the end he calls the player a coward I bet as well.

I don’t think so.

AO72—while being extremely annoying—was always pretty sharp, quick witted and fairly articulate. This guy is, uh—less so.

Lol. Too shamed from last season I guess.
Nice to see a few Peters for Jack Adams award and a solitary Vezina for Smith

I like Smith a lot (didn't think I would before last year) but any Vezina predictions are a joke.

Who is “Gritty” and why does Friedman like him so much for the Calder?

Gritty the Flyers new mascot. Just because this is the ENG thread, did you just break out of a gulag?

He must have had his hand slapped by Rogers and told to stop being such a moron.

Is that punch literally the reason we have Prout? I mean after the debacle that was Mike Smith having to stick up for himself last year against Lucic, I'm curious.

Punctuation is everything. The ‘Western Conference player” was McDavid. This was a trade request.

Take Connor away. And the oilers are the worst team in the league.

I think it definitely factored in. Almost positive those two will fight this season.

Really? If I'm Lucic I'm not dropping my gloves with Prout unless the Oilers are getting absolutely ragdolled.

Seriously though.

BT: Hmmm looks like Lucic is running around. *Makes off-season note*

Off-season Comes.

BT: *Googles Lucic losing fights*

BT: *Signs Prout*
