Around Hockey XXV (All Non-Jackets Hockey Talk Here)

This theory is more insane than anything else ever uttered about Laine.

You know, for once, there is something Laine related we 100% agree on.

Congrats to BU winning the Beanpot last night. I’m sorry I missed the finals. Amazing with how talented BU and BC have been these past few years that in the last nine years BU has won just two Beanpots and BC none!

ESPN article said Northeatern has won five of the last six tournaments.

Those reactions are getting embarrassing. He just expressed his happiness that he will play more in the national team. Besides, the national team means a lot to us Europeans, more than it does to you.

MSL is not an idiot so he doesn't get it.

This is the best describe this situation:

That kitten better hope it can make a one timer pass.


Have we moved Fantilli into Olivier’s basement yet??

Welp, there goes my #1 goalie option for UFA signings:

 

[DarkandStormy]

Five years is a choice.

Watching Stars-Isles and Cizikas throws a heavy hit on a Star defender, borderline. Switched back and forth between broadcasts outbid curiosity and it sounded like a mains thread where each side was convinced of their view of the play.

Can’t link anything here but there’ll probably be a mains thread.

Welp, there goes my #1 goalie option for UFA signings:

If Elvis continues to play like he has since early January, I think we should be prepared for the possibility that he doesn't get moved or released in the off-season. 11-5-2 in his last 18 starts going back to mid-December with a .916 Save Percentage. You can win a lot of games with a goalie who plays like that. I know its just an eighteen game stretch but if GMDW can't move him in the off-season without retaining salary it's possible Tarasov is moved for a low round draft pick and we see Elvis/Jet next season.

It seems Elvis and the locker room have gotten past whatever issues they had, and now with Elvis playing his best hockey in years, I really don't see a big change coming.

Tarasov hasn't played well enough to factor in either way.
