Around Hockey XII (All Non-Jackets Hockey talk in here)

[Viqsi]

I smirked just because it's Arny getting another shot. And then I remembered the Brass connection and outright snickered.

Finally, Brassard has his chance to break out on his own, without having to be tied to the legacy of Nash and without being held down by Arniel!

Oh, wait.

I'm really starting to wonder about them New York Blue Shirts.

There is a certain cruel irony to Rick Nash now having Arniel back on the staff after it was essentially his coaching and the team's play under him that was the final straw in the camels' back that drove him out of town.

Rick Nash the Coach Killer's list of victims:

Dave King
Doug Maclean
Gerard Gallant
Gary Agnew (interim, 5 games)
Ken Hitchcock
Claude Noel (interim, 26 games)
Scott Arniel
John Tortarella

10 NHL seasons. 8 Head coaches relieved while he was on the roster. (with 2 interim head coaches).


Todd Richards is the only coach to survive the wrath of Rick Nash. Perhaps this is the key to future success.

Saw where Kris Russell is being waived by the Blues. Good luck, "Little Shake", wherever your future leads!

Most Blues fans weighing in on the mains not happy about it.

...in no small part due to the fact that the Team Whipping Boy is another LHD.

Dreger tweeting that too


Did Philly solve their D & G problems while I was sleeping? or is Morin & Mason the answer?

 

[Fro]

steve mason is their #1 goaltender

 

[Jackets16]

Philadelphia just loves overpaying players (either in contract length or salary).

Hearing Flyers in on Dwight Howard too.

ha!

 

[HoldFast13]

Well the good news in Flyers/Jackets games should be good, every member of the CBJ should know how to score all over poor Mason.

 

[Fro]

after putting Pronger on LTIR, they'll have enough for a Tim Thomas

That'll work out well.....

I was always wondering if VL was a smart guy, I now have my answer.

Awesome, Lecavalier is going to be collecting 2 high-paying buyout checks in 3 years.

Using that as a comp, Marc-Andre Bergeron could probably get $3.5 mil per year.

Assuming Philly is the one after him, of course.

 

[Matthew]

Philly and Calgary are baffling me more than the organization in Columbus in the last two years.

A strange measure of progress, but progress nonetheless.

Three years ago 95% percent of the posters here would call you a CBJ board killer with this post, or at least insane.... Now your post is spot on.... ugh.

Thinking that those guys were let go because of Nash is not insane, just silly.

Sounds like the Coyotes are staying put, at least for the next 5 years, though may be changing their name to the Arizona Coyotes.

I think its funny how many people there are on the boards who don't know the name of their representative or senator, the setup of their local government structure, or where to find Arizona or Glendale on a map...these are the same people that have suddenly become experts on local Glendale politics. There are some very small people who get extremely large and bitter once behind a keyboard, and once it looks like the Coyotes are staying put.

Philly has already used both compliance buyouts so if they wanted to buy Vinny out, it would be a cap hit for them. I don't see that happening.

Um. Are you seriously referring to an obvious joke as being spot-on accurate?

I'd normally assume it's sarcasm in reply to sarcasm, but I unfortunately never really know with you.

Fixed it for you.
