Robin Lehner's Unique Settlement: Implications for Vegas and Lessons for the Ottawa Senators

Vegas finds a way….

Vegas finds a way….

And the Vegas Golden Child wins again.
NHL is bizarre and unlikeable in its dealings with Vegas vs. the rest of the league

It shouldn't exist in the nhl. This should be a lengthy suspension.

When garbage players target stars in non hockey plays it should absolutely not be tolerated.

I'm all for tough, physical hockey but this is chicken shit hockey

I think more than any individual team's complaints (or their fanbase's complaints) about Parros being unfit for his current role, this whole preseason being a goon show is far more damning evidence.

If Scheifele gets 4 playoff games for his hockey play hit on Evans, X whateverthef*** his name is should get 20 at least.

They have to keep them strong, they got NFL soon MLB and in all probability NBA in the near future. ATM they have strong attendance but they might find themselves fourth in pecking order for Vegas residents and the majority in their building will be cheering for the other team.

Did you see the shit Krug pulled on Thomas in game one of the Cup finals the year before? Like made a beeline and basically matched course to run down Thomas. No effort to play the puck. Thomas gone for the series.

Zero games.

I understand that it had only been recently that you weren't required to go to the bench if you lost your helmet, but I'm sure he'd have gotten a pass for that too.

And 100% retaliation too.

I don't see a problem with the Krug hit on Thomas. He separated him from the puck. If he doesn't make that hit, Thomas has chipped the puck past him and it's odd man rush going the other way.

I also didn't see a problem with the Schiefele hit

I mean, "nothing wrong with either hit" is probably the best answer, but you can see that he literally went 200 feet to hit Thomas; that Thomas wound up with the puck was almost a happy accident.

You sound like Bob Ross lol

That Swayman contract is pretty big considering his body of work. Only 132 games played in his career - that's like a season and a half for Helle lol

But his numbers in those games are great

Has the possibility to be either a steal of a contract by year 8 or an overpay if his numbers drop (and you never know with goalies)

Tucker Pooman to the Avs from Canucks.....wait this guy is still in the NHL?

Seattle looking really good so far in the first. I took STL +135 and am starting to have my regrets.

 

[surixon]

The Blues look awful

The Kraken employ the NHL's first women assistant coach, Jessica Campbell is her name.

Entirely expected.

I go to walk the dog and they out in 3 lol

1st game of the season and here's a hot take, both these teams will not make the playoffs

Bruins might need Swayman to play the next 81 games
