Around the League delayed season edition

[Steve Zissou]

The first two....yeah you could call those soft, but the 3rd goal tip in, Stamkos's one timer from his office, and Point twiddling his thumb in the slot between the dots....probably have to be lucky more than good to stop those.

I'm not specifically talking about last night... I'm talking about watching Subban in net the last 3 seasons with The Golden Knights.

Carter
Gaborik
Lebron

Dubois?

Ohio is going to hate us with a passion.

For some reason I think Alabama is on their minds right now.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Forbort with the assist of his career.

Ohio: where stars leave to win

There have been 25 astronauts from the state of Ohio. Something about that state makes people want to leave the planet.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Alexis Lafreniere with zero points in a shutout loss. Based on all the overreactive experts on HF, we can safely say that he’s a bust and he’ll never get better from here on out.

 

[Bandit]

Comtois with 2 in the 1st for the ducks. That guy is gonna be a pain in our ass for a lot of years.

Most of the games I've watched the last couple of days look about the same, rusty, timing issues, no preseason. But that will get better in the next couple of weeks.

I did watch quite a bit of the Canes - Redwings game. Felt bad for Greiss, who was in net for the Redwings and kept htem in the game. Wings were outshot 42-14 and he was the main reason, keeping it at, 1-0 until late in the 3rd when Dzingel got a PP , Canes added the empty netter.

Canes 6 defensemen might be the best in the NHL. Even rusty, they kept the wings bottled up. Skjei was a great pickup for them. Pesce looked good, as did Hamiliton.

Odd rumor came up on TSN's INsider Trading with , according to them, several teams calling Florida over the last few weeks asking about Barkov. His contract is up next year (21-22) and apparently these GM's are working off a rumor that he doesn't want to stay in FLA. Now Zito is saying all the right things, that he's not available, etc. But you have to wonder if that is true, how long he should wait and not allow a Tavares situation to occur.
He's a great player and most any team would welcome him at center.

Welp, doesn't show up against tougher competition amirite

Probably needs four more years in juniors, what a project, waste of a pick

8th year in the league, been to the playoffs twice, 10 GP, and the Panthers are 3-7.

People talk about the Oilers and Sabres wasting the best years of McDavid and Eichel. Barkov is in the same boat. Just nobody cares about the Panthers, so it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.

I'd guess he goes nowhere before the draft. Even then, it'll likely be the 2022 deadline. The Panthers already have a negative stigma, and when they get rid of Barkov, it'll only reinforce it. Here we go again. Same with Huberdeau. And the fan support isn't even Columbus level, let alone Toronto.

They get rid of them, and are left saddled with Bob, it's going to kill the franchise. Whatever they're trying to do with the roster this year has to work.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Jesus.

 

[kilowatt]

That's Schmidt-Edler, too, not some rookie pairing. That McDavid guy might be pretty good some day.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Jesus.

The only way that could have been better is if he skated across the ice and tossed his stick over the glass.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Toronto’s defense is special.

 

[ru4reals]

[/QUOTE]

I would have pretended to give my stick to a kid and went ahead and threw my stick over the class.

 

[ru4reals]

Toronto’s defense is special.

Watching them get thrashed by the Senators is freakin so sweet. Brodie has been an abomination. LOL.

 

[HookKing]

Watching them get thrashed by the Senators is freakin so sweet. Brodie has been an abomination. LOL.

Not to mention Thornton/Simmonds each a -3.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Same old Toronto, just gonna pray to outscore their problems and that their incapable goalie will bail them out.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Nathan MacKinnon is a human cheat code and just as much fun to watch as McDavid, maybe even more so since he's built like a brick shithouse.

 

[Steve Zissou]

eesh. Avs put up an 8 spot against St Louis.

 

[deeshamrock]

Oilers have a goalie situtation

Alarm bells going off with Mike Smith going on Long Term Injured Reserve | Edmonton Journal

Smith (Holland made a mistake signing him) is on LTIR and they lost FOrsberg on waivers. With the amount of back to backs, they need to perhaps trade for a veteran, even tho picken's are slim.

Anton Forsberg got claimed on waivers by Carolina, then when Carolina put him on waivers he got scooped up today by Winnipeg before the Oilers could grab him back

 

[KingsFan7824]

Who was the other goalie they could get for $1.5m? Could they spend more on goaltending, while adding to what little depth they might have?

The cap giveth, and the cap taketh away.

 

[DoktorJeep]

I think Jimmy Howard is available

 

[Sleeping Dog]

I’d trade Quick to EDM for Nurse or Bouchard.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

I take it that Stuetzle was not a standout in his debut? BUST!
