I’ve heard a lot of good things about Coffey, but not much on Savard. His defensive stats look insane. Both are around 200-220k on xbox. Thoughts on who to pick? Or any other suggestions for a LHD. Thanks boys :)

Just pulled in cs rewards and wondering what hes worth

Career

When Savard was 15, a scout noticed him playing a school league game and put him on the team's list of promising reserves. Savard progressed quickly and within a few seasons was captain of the Junior Canadiens in the OHA. Unlike many prospects of the day, Savard insisted on wanting to complete his high school education. But the Habs signed him to a contract and sent him to Houston to play for the Apollos of the Central Hockey League in 1966. He won the rookie of the year award that season with Houston and the following year was called up to play with the Habs. By the 1968-69 season, his second full season in the NHL, he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the Habs won the Cup in a four-game sweep over St-Louis in the finals.

Savard played for Canada in the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union. Team Canada was 4-0-1 when Savard was in the starting lineup. He did not play in the opening loss at the Forum in Montreal but was in the starting lineup for games 2 and 3 in Toronto and Winnipeg (a win and tie, respectively). He suffered a hairline fracture in his leg which forced him to sit out Canada's losses in games 4 and 5. He returned to the lineup for games 6, 7, and 8, all wins for Canada.

During the 1970-71 season against the Rangers, Savard dove for the puck in an attempt to stop a breakaway and felt his left leg crumble underneath him. The result was five separate fractures and three operations that took him out of the game for three months. After a complete recovery, Savard continued to have problems with the leg and further injuries. In the 1971-72 season, he suffered a new fracture to the same leg after being hit. In 1973 he injured his ankle severely as he tried to help firefighters break down a door during a fire at the Canadiens' hotel in St. Louis. But none of those injuries would stop him and upon his return, he helped formed "The Big Three" with Robinson and Lapointe and ultimately contributed to the Canadiens winning 8 cups. During the 1979-80, Savard was named Captain of the Montreal Canadien

Slow day at work with a slow off-season. Got me thinking about hockey and the Habs. Got me thinking about Jack Eichels situation, and how universally different the outcomes were.

I think everyone here is pretty well acclimated to Roy's history with the Habs. After that brutal game, Roy requests a trade and that he was done with the team. Of course, management didn't want to trade their star player, but not only did they trade him within a week, but they traded him to possibly them most promising contender in the league at an enormous loss.

I ask myself why management would trade their star goalie (and their captain??), for what was essentially a prospect goaltender and two okay-ish players? Well, I believe a big part of it was out of respect for Patrick.

Yes, I'm aware of the multitude of factors that go into a trade, especially as one as public as Patrick's was. But I also believe it wasn't a coincidence that he ended up on a stacked Avalanche team.

So after Patrick retired, I'm seeing him everywhere in Montréal. He's at games, he's doing interviews, he's had his number retired. It appears that any animosity there may have been has since gone (or at least diminished) and a hall of fame goaltender now has a presence with the Habs fairly regularly.

I compare this trade to Eichels situation. While we only have rumors and speculation to go on, I think its safe to say that the process has been...acrimonious as best. Can you imagine how it would've looked if we flat-out refused to trade Roy for anything less than a kings ransom? Do you think he'd still be involved with the team now if we dragged it on for months and months?

Do you think Eichel will be involved with the Sabres when he reaches retirement? Signs are pointing to "😒".

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

###Game thread comments

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
