Around The NHL Discussion 2021-22 Part II

[MissouriMook]

Here is an interesting factoid...The Dallas Stars are the only team who have not yet won a game in regulation time.

It seems like our fan base has a beautiful and irrational hate for VGK (self included) in a very short amount of time. And they’re not even a permanent division rival. Are they THIS hated by other fan bases too?

The NHL gave them advantages to get good sooner than normal. They took Reaves, Petro, including our minor league clubs. Damn right we do.

They took Perron. We sent Reaves away for Sunny and the pick that became Kostin. Reaves went to Vegas from Pittsburgh.

That Reaves for Sundqvist+Kostin trade was one of the shrewdest moves Armstrong has made

Bob Murray about to be shit-canned it would seem. Wonder how likely it would be for a new/interim-GM to make a big trade (Lindholm).

Interesting what direction they choose. They have some young talent and in pretty good cap shape. I’d think they resign Lindholm.

That and Buch for Blais were essentially him pulling a rabbit out of a hat

The ROR trade wasn't bad either.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

The ROR trade wasn't bad either.

The Schenn trade wasn’t bad either

mackinnon out for at least 3 weeks

what a shame!

 

[Xerloris]

mackinnon out for at least 3 weeks

what a shame!

I wonder how many games will not be counted for the Avs because they're missing him?

 

[TK 421]

It sounds like a great time to bump the NHL Talk thread, 'What's wrong with the Avalanche?'. I'll go find it and spread the good news.

 

[Thallis]

The ROR trade wasn't bad either.

That one was pretty heavily speculated and they got about as much as they could have feasibly gotten there.The Reaves and Blais trades were getting real value for just average players seemingly out of nowhere

 

[Louie the Blue]

That and Buch for Blais were essentially him pulling a rabbit out of a hat

Giving up 2 1sts for Schenn and dumping Lehtera's contract also deserve an honorable mention.

 

[BlueMed]

Or that time Army traded Elliott to Calgary for the 2016 second rounder that landed Kyrou..

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Seeing all these trades he's made, it's almost like Army is actually a good GM.

Live look at the Coyotes on the TNT game tonight

At least Wile E Coyote can paint a nice fake tunnel. Arizona does nothing well, or even average

 

[Ranksu]

Doesn't take long when Dallas coach which name I don't remember either will be out soon.

He created the Lehtera problem and paid a big price to fix it. Schenn was part of a Cup winner so the correct expensive piece was bought. Farabee is a really good player

 

[Bluesfan54]

Ottawa currently has six players out with COVID with two more possible, awaiting tests. They’re going to be an all minor league team if they don’t get a handle on it quick.

thanks espn , so glad hockey is back on your station no thanks

The Blues game against Chicago on the day after Thanksgiving was originally supposed to be on ABC, but it has now been moved exclusively to ESPN+ and ABC has picked up a different game, the New York Rangers and Boston. That change has also moved the start time of the Blues game from noon to 2:30 p.m.

I can’t fault the network for moving away from Chicago games for multiple reasons. I think this decision would have happened under any network.
