Around the NHL - (Off-season edition)

Lol Jarry. Wonder if the pens fans still prefer him to Gibson.

...but Gudas is apparently the horroble captain

Admittedly I haven't dug deep into this but this looks comical if true.

Someone must have exposed those guys to wifi when the playoffs came around

Kings getting blown out in Toronto.

I really wonder how much longer Rob Blake can keep that job

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Rakell scored in Rakell time.

most NHL players are really stupid

 

[Mr Rogers]

Still love seeing the Red Wings get their A’s kicked

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Now’s the time for Verbeek to squeeze the Avs to take Gibson. Keep Reimer as the backup. Even if they take back Gorgiev they can waive him or send him down if they have to.

I don’t know what the deal should look like but there will never be a better time to maximize Gibby’s value than now, to the Avs.

Preds being 0-4 brings me surprising amounts of joy.

They will get it together, they added several new and inportant faces, it takes time. I have never been sold on them making big splashes tho. Their core is aging

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but what the hell is it with Canadian junior hockey and group sex. Even if the new allegations are false and it was consensual, whats with 8 16-19 year olds watching each other have sex.

(by the way the title still says off-season)

I hadn’t realized they signed both Stamkos and Marchessault, the two targets we missed. Plus didn’t they sign Niederreiter out from under us, too? They’re always UFA cock blocking us.

Yeah only to trade him off the same year, or a year later for a 2nd. Assholes.

Nashville being 0-5 after spending all that money on July 1 makes me feel all tingly inside

I liked their moves, but I was skeptical that they would be that much better of a team. Their second best center is Tommy Novak and the right side of their defense is average at best.

Same. I hate Nashville more than any other franchise, from the way the Refs love them more than any other team to the way they lead the league in flops/dives per game for such a long time to the amount of times they defeated thr Ducks in the playoffs. Also the country music they use is lame as well. I'm happy they've never gotten a cup.

 

[mightyquack]

Given how Nashville has employed Stamkos so far, it's like they made their off-season signings as if it was 2021 and not 2024. An absolute liability on the ice in all situations apart from the powerplay.

8m a year until he is 38 for a guy who is only good on the PP....woof.

 

[Terry Yake]

stamkos really missing kucherov

i think the preds will eventually get their shit together, but that stamkos contract isn't looking good either way

Dude might end up kicking himself for not coming here. Worse team here, sure. But literally zero expectations and lots of young legs to do the hard work.

 

[Kalv]

Last night Sharks held Avs to only 22 shots. We allowed 49

The scary part is we offered him a bigger deal...

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

So what is really up with the preds? I couldn't believe my eyes. 0-5 wtf

 

[Terry Yake]

saros/wedgewood have both been terrible. maybe we can get them to overpay for gibson

might be a matter of time before trotz says f*** it and takes over as HC

When Saros is bad he leaves a lot of room to shoot pucks into up high.
Pronman probably thought 5'10 Saros as a prospect was BIG goalie while he thinks 6'2 Dostal is SMALL. Dostal is listed as 6'2 on NHL.

Is this NHL trying to spread games out this season?

Caps start at 3pm PST
We start at 7:15
Kings start at 8
Looks like almost every hours has x:15 and x:45 starts.
