Speculation: 2020 Offseason Thread - Part III

[RefalancheStillLose]

I take pleasure in watching the wings be complete garbage again.... Ahh its the 80's all over again

I can't watch a full game of any sport when I don't care who wins, the lack of emotional attachment means I get bored after 5-10 mins as well. The 9 minute highlight videos on youtube are perfect though - DTMTS does a nice job organizing them in one place.

 

[BfantZ]

Same. I put in a good effort to watch other teams but about 5 mins in I’m looking at my phone . World juniors had me for about a period or 2 .

[Magic Mittens]

I bet on lots of stuff going on in the games, so that makes it easier for me to watch

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Roberston getting a look on line two, that is good to see, but that line would scare me in a game lol

 

[serp]

Defense is still missing some guys but the rest is almost back.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

We just need 2 out of the 7 remaining to get back and we are fine. I think we can all identify those two.

Honka and Gardner

In all seriousness its going to be interesting to see where Harley ends up when Heiskanen , Oleksiak and Pysyk are back.

I was thinking the same thing. Guess it depends when those 3 get cleared. If all 3 arent cleared soon, might be better to have Harley over Pysyk for the first couple games. Although the whole team is going to be rusty, Harley at least played the WJ'S and is practing

Either way, friday cant come soon enough

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Back in business.

Nice, this gives me hope that game 2 will at least be competitive. (I have no hope for game 1, that's gonna be a sloppy team against a team that's already worked out some kinks.)

On the road i guess team would have to ask for permission to wear special jerseys. Albeit i think the white retros would work on the road without asking

 

[ElGuapo]

Don't know how I'm going to watch the games. I guess search for streams online which is really annoying.

 

[serp]

Btw doesn't the team have to make roster moves pretty soon aka waivers and AHL moves and such ? Everyone is back now ( good sign that everybody just had minor exposure to COVID ) and the roster is obviously not staying at 30 of 23 players allowed in the roster .

 

[DangeRouss]

can't wait...
even if there's a lot of sport to watch
and I'm still looking at my fellow countrymen in the NHL or NBA

They are allowed 29 with the taxi squad and some of those players don't need waivers to go to the taxi squad

 

[Dallasman]

They are allowed 29 with the taxi squad and some of those players don't need waivers to go to the taxi squad

They've also got 4 guys on the season opening IR so there will be moves eventually to trim the roster down.

With all the different IR's and non-roster and whatever the Stars currently have everybody but 2 players under contract still sort of on the roster including 4 healthy goalies. Thats clearly not staying that way once they start playing.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Yea, it should come tomorrow? Clear the roster up tomorrow, waivers will clear by noon on Thursday, roster is set for Friday's game.

 

[Magic Mittens]

4 points back of the wings now

 

[BfantZ]

Does anyone here have nhl tv ? Just wondering if it carries all games or just everything but Dallas stars games like I’m suspecting .

It has all the games, it's just that the blackouts apply, for example Stars' games in Dallas are available 48hrs after the game ends.
Most european markets have single provider owning all the rights, so blackouts for all games. VPN is your friend.
