Playing every western conference team home and away is the dumbest thing ever. Alternate every other year and add more divisional games. Rangers/Islanders is getting more eyeballs than Rangers/Oilers at 10:30 on a Wednesday in December

If you live in a Western Conference city, you would feel a lot different

I would just love to hear what the exchange between the reporter and Tony was that prompted him to make this statement lol


As rubbish as that country is, they are not after Kaprizov and there are no issues with other Russian NHLers either. A lot of crazy stuff happens in that country but this is one case where it's overblown. Why would they want Kaprizov? Russian leadership is doing their best trying to convince their people it's going to be alright and the West is the ones losing here. Starting to detain high profile citizens is not exactly the way to go.

Don’t be so sure.

Where do you think Chychrun is headed? I've heard Ottawa being interested recently.

Chicago apparently not qualifying D Strome which will make him a UFA.
Would love to be a fly on the wall and find out what their actual plan. Moving on from all of Strome, Dach and DeBrincat is interesting to say the least

Two team race for johnny. Philly and NJ.

NJ preparing an offer at 11.5aav
Philly can only get to about 8-8.5 due to cap.

Believe it or not johnny is gonna consider the discount for philly as thats where he really wants to be. Im gonna say money speaks too loud and he winds up in newark

Can't see him going to Philly either if NJ offers 3-3.5aav more

That Gaudreau contract, if he signs it from NJ, is going to make the Panarin Contract look like the current MacKinnon contract.

 

[RangerBoy]

This would be so good. The Islanders trade a first round pick and Romanov signs to play in Russia

 

[Circus86]

And if he doesn't sign with CSKA he gets assigned to military service

Mackinnon contract was signed when be was a teenager. Mackinnons contract when be hits ufa next offseason will be north of 11.5aav, he likely is in mcdavid territory with long term

What a shitshow in Carolina with their rinkside reporter getting a bit too close to some of the players lol...

huh?

huh?

Their broadcasters reporter Abby Labar and Ian Cole had an affair. Apparently Cole wasn't the only player she slept with either. She was supposed to get married during the weekend, the fiancé found out about what had been going on at the last minute and called it off. Obviously Cole's marriage is probably ruined as well, he has kids too...

 

[NYR94]

If/when Chicago moves Toews & Kane, they are going to be aboslutely brutal. I mean, that roster is really thin now but without Kane...sheesh.

Also Sakic and MacFarland promoted.

that's the source?

I don't know what the original source was but the fiancé has confirmed the rumours on twitter so...

Today’s Detroit Red Wings Development Camp.

Mike Griers first order of business in SJ was shit canning Ron Wilson Jr as Director of Scouting.

Why can’t the Rangers do something like this?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Why can’t the Rangers do something like this?

Has been answered a couple of times. The NYR are such a cash-cow they don't need to cater to fans.

 

[aufheben]

Uh, pardon me, who did the Montreal Canadiens draft 1st overall?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Why can’t the Rangers do something like this?

They use to. About 5 maybe 6 years ago. There was a Ranger’s or MSG employee that use to shoot the scrimmages and player interviews from Greenburgh and then post them on YouTube and their website.
Sadly we get very little compared to then.
