Casting Samuel L. Jackson as Medusa ruined The Odyssey for me. I have my doubts that Homer even wrote “I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on my motherfucking head!”
@riotsurvivor The sheer number of Canucks fans arguing that Cootes should be significantly higher makes me wonder how many people are basing their analysis off the fact he played 3 games
General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the #Canucks have agreed to terms with defenceman Guillaume Brisebois on a one-year, two-way contract.
Nico Hischier, extended 5x$12M by NJ, is a 1st line centre with a balanced all-around game. Great defensive stick, excellent in battles, clever in the inner slot, creative with the puck, and incredibly versatile.
Steve Yzerman provides an update on Dylan Larkin's trade request:
"I will be deliberately brief here. Shortly after the season, I received a phone call from Dylan Larkin's agent informing me that Dylan would like to be traded. A week or so after that, Dylan's agent followed up with a short list of teams that Dylan would consider waiving his no-trade clause to go to.
Having said that, Dylan has five years remaining on his contract. My job as the manager of the Detroit Red Wings is always to do what is in the best interest of the Detroit Red Wings, and I will act accordingly to that. So I cannot make any guarantees, and I did not make any guarantees, that that request could or would be met.
There is certainly a lot of uncertainty around that. So, for the time being, I can confirm that yes, that request was made. I think I will be in a position to maybe answer more questions and be more specific in the future. Today, I would just like to leave it at that." #LGRW
Many who aren’t fluent in Tortorellese will miss the subtext. This roughly translates to:
“Of course I thought about it, he’s been ass. But if I say ‘no’ to him starting, he’ll just force his way in anyway”
John Tortorella, asked if he considered replacing Carter Hart with Adin Hill during Game 5:
“Oh for Christ – that could be the stupidest question I’ve heard.”
