GDT: Around the League - 2021/22 PART II

[Knies iT]

Watching Kevin Bahl in NJ, it's shocking he was the central piece/prospect in a Hall trade.

Liked him for Canada at the WJC in his role, but he looks like a more raw Kristians Rubins. First game i've seen of his this year and although he's younger, Rubins was more impressive at the NHL level. Stylistically very similar.

At this point its shocking that hall was the center peice of the hall trade.

Since their covid break the Leafs have moved from 7th place into 3rd place.

LOL interesting chirp

Haha! Loved this. I love creative chirps. "F-off, a-hole" doesn't cut it for me.

Calling it a suspension for interference is odd.

The penalty call on the ice was interference, which is correct, but the suspension was pretty clearly for an illegal hit to the head, which also could have been called.

If he did have the puck, it would still be an illegal hit, and deserving of a suspension. The fact that he didn't have the puck adds a game or two.

Lets dance in hockey now has new meaning I suppose

Insider Trading: Why hasn't NHL/NHLPA made an official Olympic announcement yet? - TSN.ca

Gino Reda: With the NHL hitting pause on the regular season, no games at all from Dec. 22-26, dozens of games have been postponed, what’s the plan to make up these games?

Pierre LeBrun: The schedule maker, we’re told, is already at work. I heard from a couple teams today that say they heard from Steve Hatze Petros, who is the schedule maker for the NHL, about a heads-up, saying, hey at some point soon we’re going to need your updated building dates, obviously for that three-week gap in February where there’s no longer going to be the Olympic Games. But, it goes beyond just trying to reschedule all the games that have been cancelled, some teams have’t had games postponed because of COVID but you can’t have those teams sit on the sidelines for three weeks in February while all the other teams get their rescheduled games played. There’s going to have to be a redux of things, really, for all 32 teams so that there’s some rhythm to the season, and no one gets left behind. So, it’s a more complicated process than it sounds like on the surface, if it wasn’t already complicated enough. The other thing is, I don’t think you’ll see the league come out and announce its revamped schedule for a bit here, because we know that there’s going to be more cancellations, more COVID situations over the next few weeks, well into January, so I think the league will wait at least until mid-January before coming out and saying, okay here’s how the rest of the season potentially looks like.

Chris Johnston: One place they can find a few more days to stage those games if they wanted, would be the start of February when the all-star game is due to be in Las Vegas, but I’m told at this point in time that’s not even on the table, it’s all systems go, in fact some believe it might even be easier now to send the players to Vegas and have that all-star weekend with Beijing out of the picture. It just removes some complications due to travel, that way, and so it looks as though the all-star game will go ahead as things stand right now. The other thing that hasn’t been discussed, is potentially lengthening the end of the regular season. Basically from Dec. 27 to April 29 you’re looking at about 119 days available to Steven Hatze Petros to fill out that schedule and at least as we’re sitting here now, they feel that can get in the 82-game schedule with that amount of time remaining.

@PierreVLeBrun
If the Habs can't have any fans at their home games in January (their next home game is Jan. 4), the NHL is looking at the idea of potentially re-scheduling some Habs home games to later in the season when they can (hopefully) have fans in the building. But nothing for sure yet.

Now this would be interesting. They are all about the tank and the high pick, and they may miss a bunch of games, while other teams play and creep up the standings. It will all look rosy at 32nd overall... then they'll play their 8 or whatever games in hand when Price is back and win some games and slowly climb the standings at the end of the year while their base screams lol.

All-Star break? They haven't cancelled that stupid game yet?

 

[uncleben]

Are those fully inclusive ANDs? Or meant to list the different types of players ineligible?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Power and Dahlin could be fun to watch on the Sabres blue line if they can develop them properly

Damn. Laval was 20 seconds away from doing us a solid. Hopefully they win it in OT

Edit: nvm. That was fast.
