Could you link him here or over PM? I searched for him but I couldn't find the channel. I have a source where I watch NHL games but the skipping is a bit too irregular for me so another source wouldn't hurt. :-)
Looks like I spelt it wrong :oops: it's Serg 72 not Serge 72

If it's not against this site's rules, I could post the link where I watch them- you can select the home/away feed, the quality. The only problem I have with the site is that the ''smallest'' skip you can make on that player skips over the commercial break(it's not cut out there) so you sometimes end up skipping over a bit of the game.
EDIT- The quality on the YT channel is very good also, so the other option might only come in hand once the channel gets taken down(if it does).

Links to illegal sites are against TBL's rules
I'm assuming youtube links are OK, as I've previously talked about watching the 2016 playoff games on youtube/gave the link and wasn't told not to

The games (last year's playoffs/this year's regular season) are never live
Youtube is also how I watch the BPL and Champion's League soccer (again, never live), I haven't had cable/TV in years

If you use the same thing I do, proper skipping should be coming with the next update.

Yup, links to illegal sites are not allowed.

I'm sure there's still the issue with copyrights. NHL's own video site stopped working here in Finland because Viasat has the TV rights and people (like me) were watching games cheaper there. So technically, I guess, it might be "illegal", but sometimes things just slip past. Heck, Archi is the lawyer, he should know! :-D

Chris Kreider is on fire to start this season, he's been dominant in every single game this season, starting in pre season. 3+3 with over 6 shots per game so far and noticeable every single shift he's on the ice, also has instant chemistry with Zibanejad. Is this the year that Chris Kreider breaks through from a good top-6 LW to a star in this league or is he just having a hot start? Time will tell :)

He's playing very well, and he's doing so a) with not a ton of ice-time, and b) in all 3 zones. For all the talk about his scoring, Wings fans have probably been most impressed with his defensive play so far. He has one or two really good defensive plays a game so far. DET fans are just hoping he continues to work his tail off like he has been.

Both Vanek and Nielsen look solid as additions so far.

Duclair would be a safer bet. Aho is a more of a risk I'd say.

They'll probably just trade for a good stop-gap goalie and be somewhat fine, they don't rely on their goalie as much as Habs and Quick isn't even close to the level of Price.

With that said, Kings team looks much weaker then it has in years now so they're not a lock for playoffs imo, with or without Quick.

Pavelec could be a good option but I think he had a year or two left to his contract right?

Pavelec would be a solid option if they can absorb his contract, UFA in the summer i believe.

CJ - Pavelec is much better then Rämö.

Ramo had it's moments with the Flames but I think Pavelec is a bit more consistent. Price wise though, Ramo is gonna cost less.

Grats for Laine! Leafs are the Leafs. :D

He really is :P

Pavelec is getting a bad rep because he's been playing behind a defense that's been horrid for most of his career. He's right around a league average goalie. (according to adjusted goals saved above average)

He really isn't. :-D

Looked at Pavelec's and Rämös adjusted sv% the last 3 seasons and they have almost exactly the same.

So your Pavelec is much better doen't back that up.

He was good in 14/15 season that's it. Besides that, pretty bad. Just like Rämö.

CJ - Last 3 years Rämö is at -0.1560 adjGSAA/60 and 48.65% AAA%, both are pretty bad and way below league average, close to Bernier and Rinne.
In the same timeframe Pavelec is at 0.0165 adsGSAA/60 and 53.57% AAA% which is just over league average and close to Craig Anderson and Ryan Miller.

Pavelec is no world beater, but i very much so stand by my opinion that he's much better then Rämö.

Of course it depends on which stat you look at. You chose that one as Pavelec is better in that one.

There's nothing you can do to convince me that Pavelec is "a much better" goalie than Rämö, end of story. :-D

So you'd in theory you'd want me to have Rämö as 130 CA in game and Pavelec at 150 CA?

I don't really know what 130CA/150CA actually means, but i'd want Pavelec to be clearly better :)
