Disney just bought the last 15% of Bamtech for $900m from MLB ($60m per 1%).

NHL sold their 10% to Disney LY for $350M ($35M per 1%).

Well done Bettman. /s

Kraken with an absolute dagger in the Caps. Scored a late goal to tie, won immediately off the OT faceoff.

I’m not saying the Caps are done, but that’s a lost point you think about in March.

Caps lack depth and have injuries to key players. Hopefully they dig a very deep hole they can’t get out of when everyone gets healthy.

Pens less so, but both those teams have long active playoff streaks at jeopardy this year...

One of the two still gets in and im betting the Pens. Of course both could get in if the Islanders faltered.

I'm not writing off the Rangers or both wildcards coming from the Atlantic. I don't think either the Pens or Caps are that good this year on paper even when healthy. Devils, Canes, Isles should keep the top 3 Metro spots, of course a lot can happen but I think these 3 teams are clearly above the others.

Shesterkin needs to become crazed goalie man again for me to believe Rangers are much to worry about.

As expected Trouba is playing like a 5 million dollar defender and kreider isn’t a 50 goal scorer (although still over performing).

I think we would see one of Washington/ Rangers squeak in before Detroit, Montreal or Buffalo. Florida is the biggest worry as they have the talent. Defense is just awful.

Pens play too well for me to think they won’t make it. NJ vs Pitt potential first round would be kind of good.

Brady Tkachuk killed the Rangers tonight. Tied the game with under a minute left, made a point of WOOing in front of their bench and staring them down, then went out and scored the OT winner with seconds left.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Sens gave the Rangers a -1 in the point department tonight … scoring with about a minute left to tie it, and then Tkachuk with his second goal in OT.

He had the Gordie Howe hat trick tonight, a very good fight with Trouba at center ice.

 

[surfzone365]

Preds and Sens do us a solid tonight. Rags once again piss a game away in the last minute of regulation

 

[tarheelhockey]

Great night for divisional results. Rangers blow a point, Islanders lose a should-win game, and the Jackets beat up on Winnipeg (which doesn’t help us, but lol regardless).

 

[HisIceness]

The Jackets are really the only Metro team I kinda like. Everyone else can take long walks off short piers.

Probably because @MinJaBen just put money on Winnipeg's +4700 Stanley cup odds.

Does he need a new home? I have always thought he’d fit in with the Canes

Boeser defense ain’t too good

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Binnington is not having a great week.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Boston is a machine right now. It’s ridiculous and I hate that fan base gets to celebrate.

Rangers are floundering badly.

STL is bad. ROR isn’t having a very good year at all. He and his line is getting scored on a ton.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Boeser defense ain’t too good

He's ready for a fresh start. Canes are reformation central.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

A RHS one-timer for the left half wall would be the selling point. He's in that Laine/Hoffman/Olofsson grouping behind the elite tier (Draisaitl/Ovechkin/Stamkos/Pastnak).

That 6.65 million cap hit is going to be mighty hard to fit in our current structure. And the 5v5 play is too poor to be a serious player here

Drai is LHS

Ditto Hoffman and Olofsson. I was just listing out the players known for their shot on the walls. It wasn't one continuous thought. I should have clarified.
