Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[ps241]

It's a 3 way tie.


The NHLPA needs to look at this. You can't have players playing for less than their value.

It’s odd his AAV is listed at in $5 million but his cap hit is $2.5. Really low for the value he brings.

2.5 mil salary + 2.5 mil playing bonus - which has already been earned BTW.

Beat me to it by 2 minutes.

Thousands of Drs driving taxis? Really?

Trouba's wife is a Naturopath, not recognized as a Dr in Canada - for good reason. Reducing the red tape involved in recognizing foreign trained medical professionals would be one thing. Lowering standards would be another thing entirely.

There is a world wide shortage of medical professionals. Do you really think the solution for Canada is to poach trained people from some other country which is already experiencing a severe shortage of trained medical professionals?

Pretty sure she's an osteopath

Edit: I see gmoney beat me to it

Regardless, there needs to be a better way of credentialing foreign trained professionals

Paul Maurice is trending on twitter and it's not pretty

The Paul Maurice Pitchfork Thread (MOD Warning Post #1)

I appreciate your post and I agree that you've got a point, however, I just want to nitpick slightly here and be a huge dipshit for doing so: I really dislike how 'high danger' chances are calculated. For instance, let's say that a puck rebounds into the slot and a player takes a whack at...

Some great nighttime reading from about page seven onwards.

Appears to be quite a bit of media fervor too; not entirely fan driven like it was in Winnipeg. No media tiptoeing in Florida I guess.

Beat Dallas the other night and then lose to Vancouver. Oilers hockey.

Oof
This guy still has cheer leaders on here some how tho

 

[bustamente]

With Florida I think the blame goes a third to the goaltending, coaching and GM miscalculating on a trade. But a coach who take a President Cup winner and misses the playoffs, that's a firing

Yeah, the Panthers subreddit almost entirely on the wagon to fire Maurice as well.

33 games in. Didn't take very long. They're in for a rough ride.

Maybe they recognize it early and move on

doesn't brunette have an out clause for any head coaching availabilities

I wonder which happens first:
Bill Zito admits he made a mistake.
Or their ownership which is known to be pretty quick to interfere (for better or worse) makes the decision for him.

No idea. I dunno why they just didn't let brunette roll with the job. There was gonna be roster turnover and some scale back for them this year. Teams don't often repeat 110-120+ pt years. Last team that had Maurice stuck with him for like 8-9 seasons though, he has a knack to stick around. so we'll see

Might be a case of the GM outsmarting himself. I wonder if Brunette was his hire or Quenneville's? I'm guessing Quenneville's given that Brunette played for him.
If he was let go just because he wasn't Zito's guy then that has to be a massive indictment of Zito.

I forgot the third possibility: Maurice takes his ball and goes home himself

The solution is free education

I think the playoffs had something to do with Brunette being let go. Maurice is going to be the fall guy but Zito has screwed the franchise big time since he took over. The Tkachuk trade didn't improve the forward group significantly or offset the defensive depletion. The Panthers had some bad contracts that would eventually catch up to them, like spending $15 million on a backup goalie, and 4th line RWer. Bennett and Reinhart had terrific seasons last year, but those may have been outliers. The defense is definitely worse than last year, Marc Staal is no replacement for Weegar, and the Panthers miss Ulf Samuelsson as much as anyone. Quenneville had a good coaching staff, and the credibility and respect of being a winner. Which Brunette profitted from. Now it's just a mediocre team with mediocre coaching. And tanking won't help them because the future was sacrificed in one calendar year. We'll see how long fans stick with a losing team, because I'm not sure a coaching change is will turn around this team instantly. I think the way ownership meddles in operations is a big problem for this team.

 

[JetsFan815]

I remain convinced that the Jets recent bout of injuries and losing is a result of hockey gods punishment for Jets fans taking too much pleasure in Maurice's Panthers' losing. Let it go guys, it is bad karma.

If it's bad karma, why do I feel so good about it?
