This was it:

Forslund contract negotiations

Dundon cut Stormy’s salary and give that $ to Forslund. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take. You can also get a couple free meals of bbq out of it too.

Lol, I remember some posts I sent that day, but the search function failed to find the keywords I remember using, BUT, I also remember that I was vising a friend of my wife's that day, so I had to search the friend's street name from Here which I then searched from the Whatsapp discussion with my wife where she told the street name to me, and there I got the date July 17, 2020 and then I searched my posts sent that day on HF and here we are.

Yeah. Good point. Lots of folks in Ottawa have long speculated about Formenton and Batherson. I think the way the two have been handled speaks to the former being involved in punishment, and the latter not. But I guess we’ll see. Seems to have dragged on a ridiculous amount of time.

Fearless works.

"Who are the top 10 Cup contenders headed into the 2023-24 season and what Taylor Swift era are they in? (I'm allowed to make fun of them because they are in my top 10) Are the Bruins going to be OK? Will the Sabres make the playoffs? Let's get it"

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10088632-nhl-vibe-check-2023-24-season-preview-featuring-the-bruins-sabres-and-taylor-swift
  1. We're knocking out two birds with one stone here: My preseason top 10, and their respective Taylor Swift eras. In no—and I stress, no—particular order:
    Vegas Golden Knights: Midnights. This is a mature concept album about staying up all night and the relief of Karma. Not sure how more "Vegas Golden Knights" you can get.
    Carolina Hurricanes: Fearless. "I don't know how it gets better than this"—I'm going to keep it real with the Hurricanes and anyone else in their Fearless era—it literally doesn't. Please make it count this year. You're in your prime.
    Edmonton Oilers: Reputation. A lot of people probably think this would be the Leafs, and that's exactly where so many get the Reputation era wrong. There will be no explanation, there will be no Will Arnett documentaries gone awry and there will be no Justin Bieber. There will just be Reputation and Connor McDavid looking more exasperated by the second. He's so real for that. Reputation is about that realness.
    Toronto Maple Leafs: Speak Now. This album is all about going for what you want, being embarrassing, pining, and above all else, it's about pretending not to care what people think about you.
    New Jersey Devils: Red (Taylor's Version). The Devils of Yore are beginning again in a completely different, shockingly fun way. The Red album has confusing, devastating moments, but at its heart, it's all about regeneration and being young while having hope.
    Seattle Kraken: Lover. This is our place. We make the rules! This album is heralded as a love album, but in reality, it's about the anxiety of finding new love you think could be "it," praying to God you don't lose it and swearing off New York City.
    Dallas Stars: Folklore. This album is about passing down stories and folk songs to a younger generation with the hopes that they'll take the lessons and be what you wish you could've been.
    New York Rangers: 1989 (Taylor's Version). How could I not? The Taylor's version distinction is because it's a new era—there was so much pressure on the former successful Rangers teams. Swift's new 1989 artwork is the only album she's smiling on, as a symbol of letting go of that pressure. That's exactly how these new Rangers win.
    Los Angeles Kings: Evermore. Like Swift herself, I'm not terribly invested in this album. But I know it's good, am not surprised when it finds success and the diehards die hard for it. This is exactly how I feel about the L.A. Kings lately.
    Colorado Avalanche: Debut. Mark Hoppus was also just thinking how you don't have a song...

Hard to argue with those comparisons...







...because I wouldn't have been able to name a single album of hers without that list.

From that same article.... People in the NHL named after Adam Sandler movies.....

Hustle: Rod Brind'Amour. Isn't it funny to remember that up until recently, Jack Adams winner Brind'Amour wasn't a head coach and wasn't on any of the "top 10 assistant coaches to watch" lists. But like Stanley Sugarman, he's always had the persistent work ethic and love of the game to transcend. He also has the knack to develop more under-the-radar players into the stars he knows they can be.

Big Daddy: This is actually a documentary about Jordan Martinook adopting Andrei Svechnikov.

Andrew Ladd has retired. Which is weird, because I could have sworn he did that years ago.

So Eric Staal will be the last 2006er to have played a game regardless of if he comes back this year or not. And that's likely gonna be not- Ladd's last year was the year Eric was out of the league, so this coming season will, unless Staal gets signed last minute, be the first without a 2006 cup winner in it, 18 years later.

Was he the last Thrasher as well, or are there still a few around?

Dang, makes me feel sad. That era went by fast, where did the time go?
