Around the NHL: 2024-25 Season, Are You Not Entertained?

Some YT -



As an aside about it at the outset is how is any of what Garland was doing not called holding? How is there no penalty there?

My assumption is that McDavid gets fined and Myers gets the usual couple of games.

There was less than a minute left -- Wouldn't want the refs to impact the game by making a call!

In all seriousness, absolutely hilarious to me that there was no holding call on Garland there. How could anyone watch that and think it wasn't holding?

If you look at the far boards, you miss the matching slashing penalties between Bouchard and Myers.

And I can see letting McDavid and Garland go at first. After they get up there should be a penalty on Garland, but at the same time even if that was getting called, Vancouver had yet to get the puck. And as we’ve seen with Buffalo already this year, they don’t blow the whistle when there’s matching penalties upcoming, because there’s a chance one team might score.

There are some municipalities he might’ve been called for anything ranging from a misdemeanor up to a felony.

Terrible haircut on Sam, but as other legendary announcers, you gotta love the respect given.

I wanna hear the Chicago broadcast of RJs final game, because that was also Chicago’s announcers last game. And the NHL missed a big thing by having both of them doing the final period and/or overtime. You know there was excitement on one side and disappointment on the other.

Weekend NHL rankings: Connor McDavid’s cross-check, an imminent trade and a goalie goal

It's been an eventful week in the NHL, from coast to coast and all over the ice to boot.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

Not ranked: Vancouver Canucks — You can’t say this team doesn’t bring the intrigue every week. In addition to being part of that messy finish against the Oilers, it sure sounds like we were very close to a J.T. Miller trade over the weekend. Elliotte Friedman’s report on Hockey Night in Canada had the Canucks close to holding Miller out of the Saturday game due to a trade that was nearing the finish line, with Friedman adding he believed the Rangers were the other team involved.

That deal is now off, or at least on hold, but you don’t have to read very far between the lines to conclude that the end of this story may be imminent. It all comes in the wake of a week that saw the Miller story continue to overshadow everything, with fans and media breaking down footage of his effort on various plays and speculating over what the final straw might look like.

Meanwhile, there’s still the Elias Pettersson half of the equation. You’d assume a Miller trade might mean Pettersson stays, but that’s hardly guaranteed given some of the team’s comments earlier in the year about listening to offers on both guys. If they do decide to move him, it will be fascinating to see how some of the teams that desperately need high-end talent to kickstart their flailing rebuilds react. Personally, I’m a hard co-sign on this Laz piece on the Hawks going all in to land him, and you could make a similar case for teams like the Red Wings and Sabres; I can see this playing out like the 2023 Matthew Tkachuk sweepstakes, where too many teams tried to lowball while the one that stepped up with a big offer reaped the rewards. Then again, if Miller is out of the picture and the Canucks are still shopping their best remaining forward, that has to make you wonder about just what’s going on behind the scenes in Vancouver.

Either way, it’s going to be fascinating to watch it play out, maybe even over the next few days.

I envy sabres fans in a way, you don't have an intrusive progressive media hanging around like vultures, often making shit up due to our owner banning the team from leaking anything and we don't even have the bills to distract us.

To think all this started because of a shove and a whack at practice and then JT having personal issues.

From there every single aspect of him has been hyper focused on and twisted to the point where a guy who 3 months ago was being seranated at a WWE event to possibly being traded and the toxic fans burning him at the stake.

All of this was literally started because our media ran with a relatively nothing event and curated it into a scandal and when you add in a team broken by injuries and struggles plus a small but very loud and toxic portion of fans, we are getting to possibly see the absolute worst of what could happen.

What a great way to showcase exactly why UFA'S would say fuc* signing here.

EP will be next, the media hates him along with Demko because they are both very standoffish with them and have already called EP a liar about being injured and claimed Demko wanted out last year despite him not even being in Vancouver to say what they said he said.
Vancouver is like the MSNBC of Canada.

Sounds more like Fox news…no truth in anything they report. Good luck.

No one cares about the Vancouver media, I’d recommend whining elsewhere about it.
