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

So many questions, but how did he get his wife to sign off on this?

Folks, Connor McDavid will have yet another point-per-game season this year.

That’s right. Connor McDavid as of this moment has 82 points this season.

He’s so cool.

not 100% guaranteed though, he could go pointless the rest of the year and get traded to a team that has played less games than the Oilers and wind up with 82 points in 83 games

His wife's name is "Donya Lehner"? As it, Donya Lehner any more money!

Shamelessly stolen from elsewhere.

I truly hope Burns isn't in any way involved in this... I cant imagine the world of exotic snake wrangling is all that large but what do I know

Burns can juggle cobras and wrestler anacondas as long as his performance on the ice is top-tier

Nashville looking bad early with waiving Tolvanen. Their GM should have been gone a while ago, he is great at keeping them mediocre.

That's what my sister in Nashville says. She really dislikes their GM and Management team.

I mean I don't care about the exotic animal part, just the weird murder-adjacent part of the Lehner story

Agreed. Last thing we need as our team is gaining momentum in the team chemistry dept is some bizarre off-ice distraction.

Mrazek letting in 4 goals on 5 shots? Wooooooooowwwww...

Bedard right now:

Chicago tanking so hard Ukraine has asked for help.

Chicago tanking so hard Ukraine has asked for help.

After winning three straight, fans were getting angry and distraught. Beating Colorado was the last straw. Mrazek ensured the tank got back on track.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

highly questionable and incomplete reporting?

 

[surfzone365]

FWIW....Flyers sweep the home-and-home with the Caps. Ovi gets a goal but his team takes the L. Good stuff.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Seems highly questionable

Seems like something that jackass would do, so I don’t question it at all.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

highly questionable and incomplete reporting?

……correct. As usual.

Im sure

Excluding a particular group from applying for jobs is discriminatory and illegal. My understanding is the wording of the initial post said it was open to 'participants aged 18 or over, based in the US, who identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability.'

Their intent may have not been to exclude anyone but the wording certainly comes across as discriminatory, so I can see why they objected.

Secondly, in this political environment when every politician from both parties wants to have a talking point, a post like that is basically chumming the waters and got the expected reaction.

Ned placed on waivers

 

[Brock Anton]

But, I thought Ned was a surefire all-star and that was another Yzerman fleece? What happeneduh?

Oh, almost like he had a super small sample size and played behind a great defense? Nah, Yzerman gud, Dundon bad.

 

[A Star is Burns]

A lot of people on this very board clowned the Canes for the Ned trade too. I thought the value was off, but I was a Ned skeptic pretty much the entire time he was up that year.

I just never felt he had the presence of a standard NHL starter. He was so reactive and using athletics, could be pulled out of position easily…..just lacked that poise. It’s a really good example of using minor league success to predict NHL success, and its pitfalls….especially with goalies. I was glad to see him get his chance finally and for another team to give him a better one. I figured being a growing team he’d get more leash but obviously not. He could still make it back.

I was surprised we got so little because he had made a splash but I wasn’t surprised we moved on. We never seemed to have faith in him.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

If I recall, I didn't have a strong opinion either way, except about the quality of the return. I know some tried to justify him coming below their expectations with the idea of a team doing him a favor sending him closer to home. The more likely scenario was that the league just didn't see it with him at the time and the team got market value. When a player is traded for a draft pick, his value generally is in black and white.

He lost me with that Game 1 horrid playoff goal against Tampa which set the stage for the series loss.....
