Tough one Phil

canucks/stars game going exactly as you'd expect

Yep pissed I didn't pull the trigger on the puck line. Oddly enough that's a new Stars record winning 9 in a row. Would have figured it would be longer than that.

Tie has been good to me betting the West coast

Stars were +$$$ after Van scored the 1st goal. Disrespectful.

I can only live bet with my piss ant book between periods. I was hoping they would go to the 1st intermission down 1 and they got that fluke goal just before the break. 😡

Yay CowboyCold!

Did you guys know you can be a GM and or a CEO and not do fkn anything and get paid big money?😵

Not much different than my life now except for the paid big money part.

Did I back the Stars tonight? Well of course not, so I fired myself as GM and or CEO.

Keep waiting for them to fall back to earth. Guess I should blindly bet them until further notice.

Surprising in the standings:

Habs in the Wildcard just two ahead of Boston (not that surprising I suppose with Buffalo's surge)

Panthers below the Leafs?!

Habs come back from 5-2 down in the 3rd to tie at 5 and then lose it due to a too many men penalty. Even still, I was certain they'd tie it again at 6 w/goalie pulled, especially when the Sharks couldn't clear their zone for about 2 min., but alas, 'twasn't to be.

Dobes hadn't lost in regulation for 11 in a row. Not that he was even playing amazing during that stretch, but the team seems to really show up for him.

Damn the Pacific will be anyone's to take .

I need to watch the Habs highlights. Had to leave when it was 2-2 midway in 2nd. 7-5 must've been a wild finish. I see we tied it in the 3rd then took a too many men penalty and Sharks got the go ahead goal on the PP. Frustrating.

I had the Tie in Mon/SJ. Stopped paying attention at 5-2. Saw it ended 7-5. So it goes.

Now I'm unhappy.

the dallas stars have, for some reason, traded for tyler myers. i am so sorry, cowboy

lol

Parayko to BUF
Weegar to UTA

both pending still

Do you feel that guys? Its sh*t tectonics. When two sh*t plates strike and come together under incredible pressure, s!@#quakes!

Enlighten me I have no idea who that is

Weegar has to waive his NTC to go to Utah, not sure he’s done that as of yet.

You’ll get to know him as a very large pylon.

Ya it's not, hence pending

i'm distraught that i can't locate a video that illustrates my point, but the fanbase nicknamed him "chaos giraffe", and yeah that about covers it. he's very tall, and he's a human highlight reel for all of the reasons. he's capable of good things, but it's significantly outweighed by the bad, and he's been kinda terrible this season.

even if you hide him on the 3rd pairing with a quality babysitter it could be problematic. if he's a #7/8d, i'm not sure why the stars are bothering with such a wildcard. mostly seems like a negative freeroll, which is silly considering that their path to the cup probably = wild, avs, pacific (oilers), east.

It's official now, he waived his NTC:

Future is looking fairly bright around here. There is a decided lack of brightness at present, though.

Well at least I got a fun fact out of the deal.

Tyler Myers is the first Texas born (Houston, TX) player to play for the Stars.

2nd round pick seems a little steep, but Canucks retaining half of his 3 million dollar salary, so he only counts 1.5 million toward the cap. Still plenty of room to extend Robertson.

Overall seems like a low risk move. Also saw his nickname was "Big Tex" who is a huge cowboy that greets people entering the State Fair of Texas. Although I'll be on the lookout for "Chaos Giraffe." The dude does have an abnormally long neck.
