Around the NHL 2024-2025

[LGB]

“Horribly miscast” was a poor choice of words, too harsh. I’ll amend that to just “miscast”.

Sabres doing Sabres things and setting records again tonight!

First team to ever allow a goal and an assist to the opposing goalie (PIT - Nedeljkovic)

Should have challenged his opposite number to a fight for the Goalie Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

Kaapo Kakko has 10 points in 13 games with the Kraken after the NYR traded him for Borgen, a 3rd rounder, and 6th rounder..

So he's no longer Krappo Takko?

Sounds like JT Miller is going to be moving soon. Not a surprise.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Apparently, Miller has been too hard on Petey and Petey emotionally shut down. What Miller was crabbing at Petey for is unknown, but if this is true (and it sounds like it is), then it demonstrates what I already knew; Petey is soft.

The first game that miller and petersson face off against each other has become must see tv. Be fun to see who shows up to play.

Hopefully the trade gives that to us this season.

Utah will not become the Yetis.

The rumor I heard was that the GM wanted Miller to toughen EP up and apparently it has backfired massively.

Buffalo came back to beat Vancouver in regulation. John “break for the Blues” Kelly would be pleased. We play them on Monday.

Eh…maybe, maybe not. The cooler company could opt to allow it eventually after some “per$ua$ion”. After all, having more swag on the streets with your name on it isn’t necessarily a bad thing, unless the hockey team does something horrific to drag your own name thru the mud.
Thats a consideration of course; that the brand suddenly becomes associated with something embarrassing and you become guilty by association.

I think most people are reasonable enough to separate a pro sports entity from a cooler company, despite the ruling at the Trademark office. They just can’t brute force their way to the name they want without smoothing it over with the original owner first. My current company was formed after a merger of two companies and became something new…a name already in use by an investment company. The suit is being settled now, and the name will ultimately be shared. It’s probably more common that you’d think.

The other conference is nuts.

8 teams within 5 points of the wildcard lead. Nyr got back on the saddle and is gobbling up points.

I wonder if we’re going to see trade deadline sellers or if we’re going to get a very weird deadline. If we expect conferences to avoid trading with each other; it may be very difficult for our conference opponents to improve if there are only a few sellers.

Once again, the NHL loses to the thermos/cooler industry. How they allowed the term “Stanley Cup” to be taken over by a mug popularized by Karens I’ll never understand.

Personally, if the Detroit Red Wings and Red Wing Shoe Company can coexist (with very similar logos too!) then I think we can have both a Yeti hockey team and YETI cups/mugs. I just hope this doesn’t cause them to just stick with Utah HC. It’s unique but just don’t like hiw it looks.

What I find funny is that Miller was supposed to be the hard nosed guy, but he needed to take time off for some “time and space”.

I’m all for mental health checks and making sure people are taken care of. It’s just hilarious to me that Pettersson is the soft one while the tough guy needed some “me time” away from his job. Unrelated, but the more I learn about Miller, the more it confirms what I believed. He’s a dickhead.

What I want to know is how does he choose which players to incessantly tell you where they're from as opposed to the players he never tells you where they're from.

Is it that he loves the town of Pittsburgh so he says "the Pittsburgh native" for (we all know the player he's said it more than 8,000 times)?

Saad
Hofer
Neighbours
Holloway
Walker
Faulk
man he loves to tell us where those guys are from

but just those guys. it's so weird

Well, it’s something like that.
