It’s definitely different than here, a lot of young people on it that are really into memes. It’s good for information though, and you can get away with a lot of shenanigans there that you can’t at hfboards.

I had Laine in my fantasy league, I think he scored over half his goals in a one-week stretch, he's been ice cold in 80% of their games.

I traded him a couple weeks ago for Erik Karlsson.

Habs Noah Juulsen could have a career-threatening eye injury.

Habs not saying much.

As long as you have Crosby and Malkin I guess you keep going all in and trading all your draft picks. Pens just keep finding ways to stay competitive while managing the cap.

It’s starting to look like Laines and Poop Party’s WJC centre - Aho may have been the reason those two bum’s looked generational back then
The computer guys in the know at Reddit,say he’s playing a shit ton of fortnite, maybe the ban wasn’t a dumb idea
Wasn’t there a rumour a year or so ago that a high draft pick, a name guy, was addicted to Fortnite. Didn’t the rumour go it was a Finn and Juolevi’s name was brought up forcing Freedman to publicly declare it wasn’t Juolevi but someone else. Didn’t Freedman says this guy’s GM and agent were concerned, and other GMs were similarly concerned about this generations fixation on video games.

JR not afraid to make moves, however I guess it's easier when you have the core locked up for life, just switching tires every year (bottom six forwards and depth dmen).

As I recall, Laine had an injured wrist in the playoffs last year, which took a lot out of his shot. At the start of the season, he was totally useless and didn't seem to be close to 100%, until he got his hatty in those Finland games.

However, the Fortnite story would explain his ridiculous reaction to the Canucks' fortnite ban.

Wait! The book is not yet written....

...but, if it is, what a terrible draft pick - musta been Gillis’ fault (if the book has indeed been written).
