OT: Around the NHL: "Aaaaah, Ricky Bobby! Now we shall dance. And yes, it will be a slow jam."

He does. The money shoulda went towards goaltending most likely.
They had the 5th best offense in the league last year. Idk why they went all-in for Meier after getting 112 points.

Who could they have realistically gotten though? I feel like Buffalo could be like NJ if they performed up to expectations, offense wise

Think I woulda taken Korpisalo and kept a defenseman.
Or just gone deep with Hellebuyck.

I'm skeptical if Helle would've actually left Win. Korpisalo has pretty bad stats this year. He makes Jarry's stats look Vezina caliber. He do be playing for the Sens though. Either way Meier seems to have back fired

Sounds like a lot of pens games this season

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Probably shoulda pony'd up for Hellebuyck instead of keeping Meier tbh.

What's being exposed is they lost Graves and didn't replace him and Brunette was a huge part of the resurgence last year and Ruff is back to not having a clue.

Regarding Perry - I think what's being left out a lot is the "Corporate Sponsors" part.

If you're a team that hid and lied about sexual assaults and a player gets hammered and maybe makes a comment about it to sponsors, that would make a shitty franchise try to get you off the team. I'd bet it was something to do with that.

I just want Perry to sue the Hawks. f*** the Hawks.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Also funny to see Granlund doing well away from the Pens. Typical stuff. 10pts in 17 games. Has 6pts in his last 5 games.

But can he PK?

I have considered that as well after hearing more stories from several different people about the event at which the "incident" occurred. The alleged offence was with Perry and some entity that was a staff employee and/or someone with a financial interest in the organization or perhaps multiple individuals were involved.

I think he has a case for a grievance to reclaim any money owed to him in the contract it was terminated. There is certainly a precedent with many players in the past who have successfully grieved and got money that they would have been owed otherwise.

I hope he collects every penny he can from the Blackhawks org and then signs with the Penguins.

Granlund with 3 points against the Devils. Just like everyone expected.

He puts up points on any team but ours, like the majority of everyone else that comes here and leaves.

Dallas stomping Tampa 6-1. I wonder if Tampa misses the playoffs this year. Detroit seems competitive enough that it's a possibility if they don't get their shit together.

Even if detroit doesnt 5 from the metro could make it.

Atlantic top 3 could be

Bruins
FLA
Leafs

Figured as much.

Hawks in this instance, to me, gave more of a shit about sponsor money vs a players well being.

Sounds familiar with that franchise. I hope Perry grieves it.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It's wild how bad the Sabres are on any given night. Their goalie situation is a disaster. Thought for sure they'd take a step toward competing for a WC spot this year but they're a mess.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

This Hughes Brothers game is f***in' fun, man.

Meier is on pace for 60pts with the Devils and currently sits at a -15 on the year. Yeesh.

 

[Gurglesons]

Toronto and Philly allegedly talking Risto.

 

[Josey Wales]

There was finally some clarity on John Klingberg's status as Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving announced that the defenceman will have hip surgery at the end of the month, and will be shut down for the season.

 

[BHD]

Victor Hedman and Matt Duchene playing their 1000th games, respectively, makes me feel old.

Yeah, Hedman being 33 is some shit.
