Around the League 45: The Stanley Cup is in God's Waiting Room

So TiVo scores the first black dog goal of the year, all the announcers talk about is what a great pass from bedard… it wasn’t…. TiVo made a really nice deek left and stuck the puck in the top right corner. Ignored..

It’s nice to see that TiVo gets as much respect in Chicago as he had in Carolina…

I think TOI is all the respect he wants. He gives zero umlauts about other attention. He is a Finn after all.

Francis making another...interesting....gamble on a goalie with a limited track record.

Kochetkov making just $2 million per season for the next three years might be the steal of the century at this point.

I mean I get goalies and their performance from season to season can be voodoo but yikes…

According to Friedman, this contract and the others they threw out during the summer are a result of the pressure the Kraken feel to stay relevant in their city. They feel like they need to make splashy moves because they're worried their STHs won't renew at as high of a rate if they don't stay relevant, especially with the NBA eyeing a possible expansion into Seattle.

Everybody is thinking it, but I'm the only one brave enough to say it:

I'd rather pay Kotkaniemi $4.82M through 2030 than pay Daccord $5M through 2030.

Talk about a splashy move!

That seems crazy short sighted. The way the team will stay relevant is winning. They’re up against the Mariners and Seahawks, not the Yankees and Cowboys.

I hate that Turbo and Mrázek ARE IN THAT DUNG HEAP.

Fu^k “Da Bears”.
Fu^k the Hawks.
Fu^k MJ.

URGE TO HATE RISES.

So much pent up sexual energy in one post.

Not worry there, anyway.

I know nothing about any sport outside of hockey, but a Google search says the Mariners are good (I think) and the Seahawks are middling?
