Around the League 36-But Who's Counting...

[LakeLivin]

I didn't play hockey. Did run into a 1200 lb black angus cow one night. Messed me up for a while.

Cow tipping?

 

[VibesAlive]

Yeah, with a vehicle, lol. Many broken bones......mine.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

If McAvoy is ready to go tomorrow, Boston has to clear 3.23 million in cap space tonight

Oh man that's wild.

Was the cow ok?

He was well done

I was thinking probably steak carcar.

Another Zegras lacrosse goal … my goodness … being challenged on a potential offside.

Aaaaaaand it’s offside.

 

[Canes]

Zegras is really good regardless.

Anaheim is going to waste his ELC, pay him 10+ mill a year and still suck. What happened to them? I will blame it on their re-branding abomination (yes, I realize they won the Cup after, but they sold their soul to the devil). Even if they wanted to move away from the Mighty Ducks, they made literally the worst re-brand ever.

 

[Joe McGrath]

amazing how many close calls there are. My worst close call was a teammate's stick blade went inside the cage of my helmet. if I didn't grab the stick and tell him don't move, would have carved up my face.

When I was I think 13 I caught a skate under my shin guard. Didn’t notice until after the game taking my equipment off. Not a pretty sight. My coach coming over and yelling “OH GOD!” was not at all comforting. As far as skate cuts go it wasn’t anything super serious, 6 stitches and out 2 weeks.

Since that day though I always wear my hockey socks over the tounge of my skates and the Kevlar socks.

Just saw someone on the main board suggest that Miller’s victim may not have even understood the racism he was being subjected to because of his developmental disabilities.

The main board never ceases to amaze. Yikes.

Oh yeah I mean that fact definitely makes it worse as you're doing this to a kid that doesn't fully understand what is goi.....

Wait.

The main board was saying this was a reason why it wasn't a big deal, weren't they?

McDavid has McFinish on this one!!

Getting their money's worth..good for Dougie

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I’m not really one for advanced stats so maybe this is a dumb question but wtf is a game score?

the Athletic metric special that assigns a player a score based on their impact on the game, offense is the vast majority of the metric.

Still a bad contract in the long run but glad to see he's doing well right now. Not sold on the Devils but I always liked Dougie here. And I'd much prefer the Devils stay good instead of the Rags, Pens, Caps...

Canes, Devils, Islanders, Flyers being the playoff teams from the Metro would be ideal (or just 3 of those including us)

What makes it a bad contract? They can pretty easily move it in the last 2-3 years, most contracts nowadays after UFA are for the first 4-6 years

 

[Discipline Daddy]

So how did the Bruins get under the cap with all their players coming back?

Also, pretty crazy I thought Marchand and MacAvoy were going to be out for over half the season. Bruins are still a wagon. They'll fall off a bit at some point and I'm curious how that will shake out.

You believe they can easily move a 33-year-old defenseman making $9 million a year? With a modified NTC at that?

Alright then...

They put Forbot on LTIR and sent Reilly to the minors.

During the flat cap, absolutely not. When the cap is going up? I can see it.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Hamilton, like TDA, are very good regular season defenders. They crumble when its going gets tough. Yay for 9 million of regular season success.

Their older core will not hold up come playoff time. If we are top 3 in Metro and they are top 3 in Atlantic I really can't see them winning 2 rounds and meeting us in the conference finals, so only mildly concerned about them if one of us drops to a wildcard and we get them in round 1 but that seems unlikely.

Not sure if you’ve watched them this year so far - but what I saw last night was an extremely fast team. Their transition game is really, really good.
