League News: 2018-19 NHL Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff) Vol. 4

It’s Chaisson and it’s ****ing crazy.

But that’s what happens on **** teams. Inferior players get prime icetime that they wouldn’t get normally on a good team.

Halpern was just under a point a game guy playing as the 1st line centerman after the ‘04 fire sale.

Chiasson is going to get paid and someone is going to suffer.

Anyway - Fabbri is an interesting one. Signed a 1 year 900k deal after his entry deal and has been badddd this season. scratched 10 straight, comes back and in one of his games was a -4. scheduled to play 4th line today.... coming out of contract.

id kick the tires on him. would be so low on confidence with his situation there. if connolly needs too much money, could be a very cheap low risk high reward kind of guy that would fit nicely next to Eller and Burky.

that's a compelling idea. basically what Conno was when he got to the Caps.

 

[tenken00]

Im surprised how close the NHL is to the NBA

162 games, * 30 teams * ~30-35K avg attendance. And while its boring as crap to watch on TV, millions of people still watch it on TV.

Their radio deals are an equalizer, plus some of their teams own the TV stations

It's revenue not profit on that chart. So it basically comes down to 162 games of gate vs 82 and bigger TV deals.

Jeez - in the Wild arena, they play songs by Minneapolis boys The Replacements during a stoppage in play.

Yep...I've heard Taking a Ride before, and against the Caps they played Husker Du's 'Something I learned Today.' Cap One has been better about playing more DC bands. I even heard a little Banned in DC during the playoffs last year.

Don't think we'll ever hear Minor Threat in the Cap One Arena - but maybe Ted saw them in his college days, since he was supposedly a bit of punk rock guy.
That's great that they play the Huskers at Wild game, since back in the day Bob Mould supposedly was giving guitar lessons to one of the North Stars (think it was Steve Payne).

Pretty sure at some point I heard them play the song Minor Threat during a TV time out when I used to go to a lot of games. Make more sense if they played Seeing Red. Btw, my old friend in Richmond made shirts a few years ago using the Out of Step artwork. He replaced the band logo with 'Capitals' and Out of Step with 'Seeing Red'. Unfortunately lost mine, but will find a pic and post.

 

[Langway]

Former Hershey Bear and Capital. I'd forgotten he had scored with the Caps.

One of the most underrated bands of the 80s college rock scene. Love all their stuff, saw them in concert a few times. They opened for Tom Petty in Chicago once, 1989, and played 7 songs. At the end they said "When Tom Petty pays us more, we'll play more songs for you" LMAO!

Can't Hardly Wait remains a staple of every mix tape I ever made. I heard it in an elevator once, instrumental muzac style and laughed.

Wow, had no idea he played 60 games for the Rangers last year. Bouncing around it seems now.

Eh, they lost me at the Let it Be LP but that's when I was kid and only liked the 1st LP 'Sorry Ma..'. Doesn't surprise me about Petty. Openers always get the shaft. My friend's band toured the US and opened for No Doubt when they got big. I got to hang out backstage at the show at the Patriots center and learned that friend's band was getting $250 per night. My buddy said, 'Yeah, glad they asked us to go on tour with them so we could be poor again'. haha

He’s actually been on fire in Providence so no surprise he received a recall. Boston just trying to play the hot hand perhaps?

 

[Calicaps]

So who you got tonight? Carolina or Columbus?

or?

 

[Calicaps]

or?

?? They're playing each other.

 

[Red Dread]

Carolina, I'd love to see them get closer to securing a playoff spot. Tomorrow is going to be crazy with the games.

 

[Devil Dancer]

I still want to trade for whoever is picking the music for the Pens.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Jesus flyers would be the greatest team ever if they didnt play us

 

[tycoonheart]

What an absolute collapse by Philly
