Tidbits: Around the League: NHL News - 2023-24

Things are happening all over.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Kuemper traded for PLD

Finally the real reason why Caps bought Capfriendly, to hide that PLD contract from the world.

I don't really get what Pierre-Luc brings to the table besides lazy, uninspired play and one dimensional skills.
To me he's just an entitled, overrated guy.

Kuemper is going to definitely fix LA's goaltending woes...

BTW two goalies moved so far. Markstrom and Kuemper, so the market is shrinking. I guess Toronto is the only big market left?

My theory is that he has multiple personality disorder, every once in a blue moon he channels his inner Lemieux and is a completely unstoppable beast on the ice. And then goes right back to Dublah.

Sounds a lot like Coyle.

Sounds a lot like Coyle.

Coyle was never entitled though.

Just get it done today, cats.

 

[NHL1674]

Kitties for the win!

 

[Sweetnut]

Cats changing up their PP1 unit, Montour replaced by OEL. They gave up shorties in each of the two previous games.
I was told by 57 that OEL was done for and ready for the scrap heap.
Funny how things goes.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Getting ready for Game 7. Still think the Cats are cooked.

Compared to what he was in his prime he's washed.

He's only on a ~$2.25m x 1 prove it deal this year. That is a decent low risk, high reward gamble to me.

But, then again, MN is a team that had Goli for $2m and Merrill for $1.2 as dead weight in the d-corps. So my perception might be a little skewed in this.

I wanna see McDebbie and Ketchup in a fistfight

I imagine Chuck E Cheese would somehow find a way to still be chomping on his mouth guard in this situation.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Keep it going baby!

 

[Sweetnut]

Ekblad with the faceplant, gifting Foegele some open ice next to Bob.
Bang, 1-0 grease boys

 

[Sweetnut]

Hey Florida, how about shooting that damned puck?

A shot! Now they have 2 shots, both by OEL

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Pretty passing, but no real scoring threat on the PP

 

[DigitalBoldy]

2-0!!

 

[Sweetnut]

Oh, the crowd went dead silent

Goal overturned.
Crowd went nuts again.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

That was really close

 

[NHL1674]

Now I don't feel so bad about not watching the game. Just got in and saw the score. Florida is gonna blow it.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

I do not like RNH

Lol, the panther forwards don't have a single shot??

OEL 3
Forsling 2
Montour 1

OEL 3

Wow, I'm surprised! Tkachuk looked better last game. Absolute no show so far.
