Around the League - Pre-Season 2024-2025

[3blizzard4]

Now that Arber Jackass has laid out another cheap hit, can we expect a two week ongoing thread like Rielly got earlier this year?

That was classic thread on the mains. Leafs fans got banned from posting in there.

Talking about bad hits, Dion was an expert at walking the line. Man his hits were tremendous.

This pre-season has been crazy everywhere. And if this is what pre-season has been the regular season is going to be freakin unreal and that means playoffs are gonna be BEASTMODE

If Boston wants to draw a line in the sand with Swayman and his demands, that's fine. But geez, talk about writing the book on how to screw up a great situation. You have one of the best goalie tandems in the league. You trade your recent Vezina winner who is a year away from UFA to garner a few assets! all the while handing the reigns to the young stud. You then proceed to ruin any goodwill with that young stud, and are now left heading into the season that is days away with an insecure crease. Yikes.

Yep. I didn't last long before they turfed me, but the Nazi Sens fan who started it had carte blanche to cause sh*t. Gotta love this place.

In fairness, Stutzle is quite this diver too… he has some karma coming himself

I'm a Sens fan and watch all their games. For some reason, he falls down a lot, almost once per game. Maybe he needs to work on his edges? I don't think he's a diver but he does whine a lot to the refs as soon as anything happens. He's only 22, hopefully he starts maturing a bit.

The pack of wolves didn’t like the hit on Hedman.

I hope he hoses the Bruins for every cent possible. If Boston goes into the season with Korpisalo and some other useless plug in net, their D will have to work overtime.

I will take this opinion to my grave: If Dion was paid a bit less and not made captain he would have been adored by this fanbase as the perfect non-#1 defensemen. He was given a terrible team and sky high expectations that he would never live up to.

If I'm the Blackhawks, I'm immediately on the phone with the Bruins. Bedard and Swayman would be a nice start to the rebuild. I'd also ask about Lily, as their defense sucks.

 

[ULF_55]

More a sign to Swayman that they are prepared to move on without him

It is just low hanging fruit.

Grab some keeper off waivers to fill a hole until Swayman, or until they can get a NHL keeper.

Patera isn't a NHL goalie.

How do you think Stajan felt?

He was sold as a #1 center in Calgary.

He had a very good career here, and was a fan favorite, but not because he was a top center.

Whatever they want.

CBA is only a suggestion, like the Ten Suggestions.

Patera isn't a NHL goalie.

He's played 8 NHL games... that's more than the 3 combined their other goalies had.

Swayman sounds like he was a little naive.
All for one, one for all ...
He probably thought it was a negotiation.

Team held the hammer, and he was the nail.

 

[Peasy]

Vegas gets to play by different rules.

Who ever thought DOPS was unfair or biased?

So xhekaj didn't go out to jump Pare? Pare wasn't in a fight.

But Geekie did go out to jump Davies. Davies and Geekie fought.

Anyone think that one of Ott, Buff, Mont, or Det makes in the Atlantic this year? I'm not sure if i see it, unless either Tampa or Bos takes a big step back.

One or two of them are bound to … just hard to say who

There is some solid consistency there for ya.
