Who was that Florida Marlins player who hit a grand slam on his first pitch like 10 years ago?

Very interested to see how this top 9 works. In theory it should be very effective - teams will have to put their weakest d-men out against either Mika, Panarin and Kakko or Laf. I assume to start they’ll take their chances and go with Laf getting the weaker d assignments but if he abuses them it puts the other coach in a tough spot.

Panarin did that too, I think, when we had that season opener vs the Blackhawks after they won in 2015.

more importantly oscar lindberg scored his first goal in the same game

Can't wait to just watch hockey. Forget everything else going on.

Ugh thanks for reminding me

Zibanejad is in, but he too easily could have not been. With him out (and he’s been injury prone), we probably have the worst center depth in the league. Bottom 3 at least.

Well I mean you remove any teams top center and their center depth looks crappy

Thought this was going to be some cheesy cringe worthy video but it was actually really well put together.

I wanted to say Jeremy Hermeda but Derek Stepan sounds like the right answer.

Now that the Lundqvist era 2005-2020 is over, I’m interested to see whether this new era will be remembered as the Lafreniere era or the Sheterkin era

Hopefully the cup era.

Opening bottle #3 already. Lookout Pilgrims, incoming Berserk Viking...

Best way to watch the Rangers tonight since the NHL doesn't think I need to see them? PM if necessary. Thanks

Not saying you're wrong BUT if our elite wingers can prop up Strome and Chytil it may not matter so much offensively at least. If Chytil can mesh with Lafreniere and Strome continues to have the chemistry with Panarin I would say those are two decent 2c's. Of course most teams losing a center of Mika's ability is going to drop them down double digit spots in center ice depth in the league.

Rick Carpinello was asked about this a bit and his thought was that it wasn't just that one scrimmage that changed the coaches minds about DeAngelo-Trouba but all the practices and the fact that they can go back and look at the tape from practices etc and he figures they just saw stuff they didn't like or didn't see things they were looking for and Miller just forced the issue as well.
I think the Rangers weren't that excited about DeAngelo on the left but if he had looked great with Trouba they might have run with it even with Miller having a good camp

Okay, thanks. So then, should it be categorized as "by default", k'André is getting a shot, or simply he really was that good to force the issue.....like mentioned.

always had hopes for Lettieri as a Pirri type at least Pirri is still in the NHL. did he make the Ducks squad?

I have a tingling sensation in my nether regions.

lol The Lettieri experiment is gladly over.

Hopefully the cup era.

I suppose, though I’m a big believer that there’s more to sports fandom than just championship wins.

Non Stanley cups wins and accomplishments give me enjoyment depending on the circumstances
