Around The League 40: As we barrel towards 40 teams

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Dude wasn’t even on the ice in his own era…

He literally almost spent more time in the box than on the ice. 650 PIMs vs 887 minutes of ice time. That's impressive.

Former meathead rants about toughness.

I mean, maybe he's not wrong, but the whole "I would have beat the shit out of Aho" was hilarious. Please, Andrew Peters. You wouldn't even be on NHL ice in this era.

Actually he's far smarter than you are giving him credit for: If say Krebs (or a Peters level player) gets Aho to drop the gloves and both get sent off for 5 minutes who wins in that scenario?

They just recalled Dustin Wolf (drafted in the 214th btw) who they are very high on and perhaps we will see him.

And the Canes will inevitably make him look like the next rookie of the year.

No, he's not, because Aho is too smart of a player to drop the gloves with someone like Krebs, or especially a Peters level player. He's not going to do that. And in the off-chance he does, it will be at a point in the game where it won't matter.

If it was that easy, every 4th liner in the league would get top players from other teams to drop the gloves every game to get them off the ice, but that doesn't happen because the top players know better.

That's obvious, and I very much disagree that he's smarter than I give him credit for.

To follow-up. per NHL.com Aho has played in 541 regular season NHL games in his career. To date, he has ZERO major penalties, ZERO match penalties, and ZERO misconducts.

The only time I really remember him getting in a tussle was with Jack Hughes in the playoffs when the Canes were down 5-1 already and was more of a wrestling match than anything.

Some scrub isn't goading him into a fight in a close game.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

It’s cool because if Andrew Peters were in there, he would’ve fought Aho and taken him off the ice for five minutes. Fine, big brain move on his part.

But if it were me on the ice, I simply would’ve scored 12 goals.

the only thing keeping Aho from being truly fully Datsyukian right now is he doesn't have any fights. Datsyuk was hardly a fighter himself but he had a couple good ones, including beating Corey Perry in one

So what you are saying, he's even more like Zetterberg, who had 1 tussle with Malkin and that's it. We agree!

 

[Stickpucker]

What needs to happen in Buffalo is what happened in Carolina: The league needs to find a Tom Dundon type who wants to own a team bad and is willing to agree to a stip that he will be allowed to relocate on the 10th of never. Terry Pegula is a cancer on the league and sport who needs to be removed ASAP.

How bout' this...Pegula sells the Sabres and buys the Carolina Panthers?

Oh baby, a Pegula Tepper trade. That's the stuff right there.

blasphemy!

 

[Navin R Slavin]

blasphemy!

I think there needs to be some kind of bet here, and if AD loses, he has to change his nick to AZ.

He is not smart. He's a p***y for not answering the bell. That is what I'm told.

I heard he ain't no true Finn b/c he has no viking bluud doding all these fites.

Jets Sign Nino Niederreiter To Three-Year Extension​

DECEMBER 4, 2023 AT 10:10 AM CDT | BY GABRIEL FOLEY 6 COMMENTS

The Winnipeg Jets have signed forward Nino Niederreiter to a three-year contract extension. The new deal carries a $4MM annual average value (AAV) and will begin next season. Niederreiter is in his first full season with Winnipeg, after joining the team via a trade with the Nashville Predators last season.
Niederreiter has appeared in 23 games with the Jets this season, recording six goals, 14 points, and a +9. He managed similar stats after joining the Jets last season, appearing in 22 games and scoring six goals and 13 points. He also added four points in five playoff games.
Winnipeg is the fifth franchise that the 31-year-old Niederreiter has played for across his 13-year career. He was originally drafted fifth overall by the New York Islanders in the 2010 NHL Draft and went on to make his NHL debut at the end of the 2010-11 season, joining the Islanders roster after the end of the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks season. His rookie season came in 2011-12, and was marked by a string of challenges, with Niederreiter only recording one goal and a -29 through 55 games. He bounced back from the shaky start, though, going on to record 833 career NHL games and 423 career points. He ranks sixth in the 2010 Draft class in career games.
Niederreiter is averaging just over 15 minutes of ice time this season, providing strong support to Winnipeg’s middle-six. He is one of nine Jets with 10 or more points this season. The roster currently ranks third in the Central Division, with a 13-8-2 record. They also rank 11th in goal-differential, with a +10.

Pens have managed 9 shots against the Lightning in 35 minutes.

We’ll be putting up one with our goalie acquisition too

Its a shame but I think they burnt that bridge awhile ago. It would really be best for everyone if they move. Not necessarily out of Arizona but far enough away that its like a new fan base.

Ehh at the same time, once that bridge is burnt, I am not sure you can be anywhere near it. Put it this way, if Tepper announced tomorrow he was moving the Panthers from Charlotte to Raleigh I don't think it would suddenly make me start following them, because the rot is still there. The owner who sucks is still there, and until that changes, it doesn't matter where the team is, the shittiness will continue

I get it but Arizona has a relatively new ownership group, they have an uphill battle staying where pervious owners have been so bad

2nd period of the Sharks-Wings game started 0-0.

Then 13 minutes in it was 4-0 Wings.

It’s going to end 4-4.

With the Sharks getting 2 short handed goals on the same PP.

Ottawa is dominating Toronto but Toronto is leading 2-1.

Stutzle failed 10 feet from the net. Whiffed on the shot
