Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[Sanderson]

I'd have paid Draisaitl that too - and happily, but....we all watched the SC Final, right? Dude was not good when it counted most. Or maybe he was checked really hard? Whatever the case may be...

He had a broken finger and multiple broken ribs since the end of the Vancouver series. It's what turned him from 2+ PPG and leading the league in scoring to a shell of his usual self.

14m is definately not much of a team-discount, but he probably would have gotten more as UFA next year. With the cap finally rising again, the salary of the high-end players hould start to jump up again.
In the end, what really matters is the percentage of cap a contract takes, and that should be in line with the contract of similar players at a similar point in time.

And 2 years prior he was arguably their best player in the playoffs while playing on one knee. He's worth it.

Ah, didn't realize that.

Crazy I thought panthers would be number 1 by at least 20 pounds. Maybe last year they were.

I watched that final game. IMO, both he and McDavid were overplayed, probably had very little in the tank. Surprised me as the previous game, they got depth scoring. I will always wonder if the coach hadn't shortened the bench to the extreme if the result would've been the same.

I really hate to say it because he wasn't entirely at fault on the play and played admirably despite all the criticism, but Skinner needed to have that shot from Reinhart. Tough goal at a tough time and I felt like that was it right there.

Probably, but I didn't realize Dari was playing with a busted hand. It makes a ton of sense. They were SO close and he missed a couple of huge scoring chances and really didn't fight too hard in the corners, but now you can understand why a little more.

Man, remember after the Reinhart goal how close they came to scoring like - 4 times? It was insane. If I were a Panthers fan I would have sharted and died.

Ya he looked pretty ineffective at the end. Too bad.

I would put the game 7 double OT loss against the Pens up there. I was basically in a 4 hour long panic attack until the bottom fell out and went in to a months long depression lol.

I had so many really, really anxious times watching. I must have done damage to my long term health.

That was one of the toughest. Right up there with 2003 and Jeff f***ing Friesen. A state of shock after.

Because he works out with him in the summer, I assume.

I'm sure they are buddies. I still thought it was amusing to see his name with those other greats.

Congrats on a solid career Mike. 20th in Senators all time points.

Interesting stat. Ottawa Senators ‑ All‑Time NHL Leaders

Brady is already 7th all time for points
Bath will enter the top 20 this season
Chabot is 4th all time in points
Stu can enter the top 10 with a 100pt season.

This just in! Every fan base in the NHL looses it's shit over every little thing because too long no hockey, must make noise.

The Tua case is interesting, the fans are like “we don’t want to see you die on the field, no more, retire”

Tua’s people are like “he’s a man, he has the right to feed his family so if he dies on the field trying to feed his family that’s honourable and what men do”

Lol, if Tua can't afford to feed his family he needs a new financial advisor, even if he does retire immediately.
