OT: Around the NHL: JR is about to wake up from his nap and make trades and such

[Ignatius]

The cats just trade Knight and a 1st to the Hawks for Jones.

I really wish Florida could have gotten them to do 50% retention because I just want to see Chicago screwed as badly as they can be for as long as possible. Screw them...

I'm inclined to believe that Jones turns it around in Florida, if he is relegated to being a 4-5 D I think he'll look much better as compared to being forced into a top D role on a trash team.

 

[BHD]

He'll be playing on the second pair next to Gustav Forsling or Niko Mikkola. He still has to perform, but that's a hell of a lot easier than being the main guy on a rebuilding Hawks team.

As for the trade, hard to fault Zito. They needed to replace Montour before another playoff run, and neither of the assets (Knight or the pick) were going to do that.

I'm watching the Preds/Rags game and they're lamenting the departure of Jimmy Vesey on MSG. Jeeeez...

Im sure Panthers’ fans, all 12 of them, are happy Tkachuk got hurt in the meaningless four nations exhibition.

I'm reading he's out at least until the the playoffs. Possibly done for the whole year, including playoffs.

 

[Ignatius]

If they play Tampa in the first round and Matty is back for game one, I will be so delighted. The Panthers have learned their lessons from the Lightning and Vegas in recent years.

Every person I know who went to it had a great time.

94,751 ppl for a hockey game is awesome

Different experience for those who go in person vs a tv event.

NFL is a great TV experience, but it's terrible live. Vice versa for hockey

Why does Vesey hold such lore with the Rags?

 

[Ulf5]

Grats to Olli. So underrated prior to his health issues here.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

He's only 30?!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

So Sullys game plan f***ed up his son in laws shoulder and got an infection from it and also took Matthew Tkachuk out for the rest of the regular season.

Lol.

Dipshit still gets zero heat

He's only 30?!

I'm happy to see Olli still being a productive player. I alway felt bad for the lad. The health issues he had to start his career was nuts out of nowhere. He got through it, was a cup champ x2, became a meme during the parade, went on to still have a long career that still continues.

Ovechkin can barely move lmao there’s no way this dude gives AF after he breaks the record. Including the playoffs.

He's only 30?!

He was 12 when we drafted him

[Turin]

Sens falling off down the stretch. Again. (Again)
