Yesterday was a good day on HB...good hockey discussions, low with the school-age bickering, name-calling etc.
It came 1 day after one of the worst days I can recall on here in quite sometime.
I see we are on a every-other-day cycle, with the poop show the past page or so.

Some days I'm reminded that the best part of the discussions around here are the gifs and emojis

Former Sabre’s great Keith Gretzky named interim GM............. - dadeadhead

@scottcwheeler
Keith Gretzky’s list of accomplishments:
- Bragging about taking Trent Frederic with a first rounder even though he said he was a bottom-six guy
- Taking Zboril, DeBrusk, Senyshyn with the three picks preceding Barzal, Connor, Chabot
- Overseeing four attrocious drafts in Phoenix
In seven NHL drafts as a director of amateur scouting between two organizations, he basically has the Pastrnak pick to hang his hat on and little else. OEL I suppose, but that was sixth overall. This is a guy who took Gormley 14th, Murphy 20th, Visentin 27th.

So when do the Oilers make him full time, then? 😂 Because you know it's coming.

The bye week is August-lite - jcragcrumple
Some of my favorite fictional characters are named August:
Augie Doggy
Augie Daddy
August Balls (sells disguises to Inspector Cluseau in Pink Panther)
August Ames....well she is a real person but plays parts in, ahem, films
Augustus Gloop (save some room for later!)
The Bills on Friday hired Heath Farwell as their special teams coordinator, replacing the fired Danny Crossman. Farwell, a former NFL linebacker, was previously the Panthers' assistant special teams coach.

Yea Boston would be stacked. I really think we should keep all of our picks this year and sell at the deadline. Next season we should make the trade that everyone wants to make right now in regards to bringing another top 6 forward and go for the playoff run and start our run as a perennial play off team. - Pegullaville
Just goes to show how we could keep all those picks...
but still miss or bust on some (or even all) of them
I don’t see the difference between making a trade now, or waiting a year...
As long as it’s the right deal
“It’s weird,” Beane said. “This year we’re in the top-10 and we don’t need to be. It’s funny how it all works out, but it’s nice to be able to focus a little more of our energy all the positions.”
