Paying Horvat more than Aho's current cap hit? Yeah, I know that it's comparing apples (RFA) to oranges (UFA), but still, that's a ton to pay for one great year and a bunch of good ones.

Toronto in Feb would limit the options for some of the gimmick events, perfect chance to reset the skills challenge.
Fastest Skater
Accuracy (where accuracy actually matters this time)
Hardest Shot
Bring back to the team relays (by division)
Save streak (or other goalie event)
Breakaway challenge for some goofiness.

Lou does it again, for better or worse. Makes sense he gave up so much, he knew he was going to get him signed. When he thinks a player will help he does what he has to do. Honestly, I’m generally a fan. This is a good player who’s worked on his game quite a bit, I bet he overall stays at a higher scoring rate than the rest of his career. Maybe not this years rate but improved.

In 8 years, Lou will be laughing coughing up a lung as he rolls his wheel chair all the way to the bank.

Its an interesting move from the Islanders and Horvat too.
The islanders are getting older and slower. They have very little to look forward to as far as prospects making the team. They will be completely reliant on FA to keep this squad afloat.
Horvat is destined to be a part of another failing team for the length of his deal. He got his 68 million with high taxes though

Yes. Some teams got their time off before the all-star break. Ours is after

Horvat didn’t score in his first period with the Islanders. That trail is a bust
Rags flames. Very chippy and Trouba has absolutely blasted two flames (one of which was kadri). Flames retaliated and then rags got a PP after each hit then fight.

To tie the game at 4.
After the Devils scored 3 goals in 50 seconds to take a 4-1 lead. This game is exactly what you'd expect from a long break.

Refs hand the devils the extra point with an egregious missed penalty on NJ in the OT. Then give them a PP a few minutes later on a much softer one than the one they missed. oh well, still up 6 points on them they have 1 game in hand.

Devils seem to always be entertaining in OT. Kinda lame they won on a PP after a fairly blatant missed call on them a couple minutes before for the same thing. At one point, Quinn chased down Jack to stop a full on breakaway in the OT.

NJ is going to have to shore up that defense or they aren’t making it out of the 1st round. Meier or no Meier.
Was it an obvious too many men penalty?

lol I wake up to like 35 notifications from rags fans who were triggered by me calling Trouba a headhunting pansy on the main board. And apparently "pansy" is now a homophobic slur? As my post was deleted for that reason... I thought it was a flower??? wow

Must be nice to have the refs properly call the instigator penalty

C'mon, the term "Pansy" is well recognized to be a disparaging comment as in a weak and effeminate man, often a gay man. You know better than to say "it's just a flower" and you certainly didn't use it in a manner to mean a "flower".
When you go poke an opposing fan base like that, particularly aggressive ones like those from NY, you got the reaction you likely hoped for, or at least should have expected. Of course they responded.

Weak and effeminate / soft, yes. Gay, no. I've never associated it with "sexual preference" nor known anyone who has or has ever had an issue with it. There are plenty of other words to use for that purpose
Yeah I don't care about the response, certainly not surprised just find it hilarious, and no I'm not engaging with them, no point.
