Hossa’s cap hit is $5,275,000 per year through 2021, when he’ll be 42 years old. Although it wouldn’t surprise me if they manage to blow up his middle-aged man aches and pains into an LTIR exemption. 

As someone who grew up near Sevier Park back when headless bodies would turn up there, I know that pain.

Except for, you know, having the lowest regular season point total of any playoff team.

I’ve seen a number of Preds fans commenting here, and I get the feeling a bandwagon is growing. It’s hard to believe that ten years ago this summer was the “Save the Preds from Balscammie” rally at the then-Sommet Center.

They had only two fewer regular season regulation wins than the Hawks. The gap between the two teams was actually pretty narrow, once the 3v3 factor is removed.

The Hawks squeeze out only two goals in 10 periods of play, yet their fans blame a ref’s judgement call for their crapitude.

Charge that battery, bro

Having seen the near future of Shea Weber in his dire performance against San Jose in game seven of last year’s western semis, every Preds fan would take Subban.

“It’s sure been fun watching all the dumb looks on the Blackhawks^’ fans’ faces.”

“ER — I may be wrong, but didn’t that finale hinge on the whole ‘It was all an autistic little boy’s dream’ idea?”

Preds sold out every game this year but noting that “fans” of a team that couldn’t draw five figure crowd sizes until a multi-year tank yielded a bunch of high picks has no valuable comments to offer about attendence.

Except Hawks fans drunkenly scream through the anthem like a bunch of jagoffs when they go to road games as well, so your theory is no good.

Nobody saw it because nobody gives a damn about the Sabres, but the Rayzor was moaning about a supposedly bad decision by a ref a couple months ago, and came up with “Forty percent of all calls are GARBAGE!”

NICE.

Esports on Deadspin is like when my high school started giving out letter jackets for Quiz Bowl. The football team stopped wearing letters altogether rather than being lumped in with the Herbs.

+2 apples

Weber looked horrible against the Sharks in last year’s playoffs. Poor puck possession, wouldn’t carry the puck, put an attacking burden on Josi that led to lots of ugly neutral zone messes. He’s a crushing defenseman but his play just did not suit the Preds style. It has taken a while for Subban to start settling in,

Everyone likes Preds fans, but we secretly hate you all.

Why do I as a fan of a crappy, terribly-run team that has underachieved for years want to complicate my loathing of the owner, the GM, the coaches, and the players by taking a rooting interest in rando players from every other organization?

Screw fantasy sports. The only fantasy we as fans should have is seeing our

“He didn’t do anything wrong”
