Avs board seems pretty mad about the Mitts deal. Seems fair to me.

its who we are (avs board). We are always pissed off about something, and if there isn't anything to be pissed off about, we find something..

Be happy about the championships.

13 years since we've lost in the first round. We can't even be pissed anymore. We're barely alive emotionally for this team.

Slick. Now they need to do it in purple and gold.

Anaheim Ducks new jersey looks too good. They might have the best looking jersey now.

Agreed

I like the jerseys and hate the orange pants. I think black pants would look way better.

See, I was thinking white pants with orange socks.


But I do love the orange jerseys.

I have never been a fan of white pants. I did not like them with the Sabres RR uniforms, for example.

The white pants didn't work with the white jersey. White-on-white-on-white is awful.

I think it MIGHT look sharp, especially on their home unis.

Good. Go to the Rangers. Please.

No need to come "home". At all.

NHL Announces Rule Changes For 2024-25

Rule 63.8 (Line Change Following Dislodged Net)

There will be an adjustment to Rule 63.8 so that the defensive team cannot make a line change in the event its goaltender accidentally dislodges the net (old language applied just to skater).

I like this one. Not a major drawback but maybe enough to slow down intentional dislodging of the net.

Rule 38.2 (Situations Subject to Coach’s Challenge)

A coach’s challenge now will be permitted to take down a penalty for puck out of play. This only will apply to delay of game penalties when the puck is determined to have deflected off a player, stick, glass or boards, and not on a judgment call on how the puck left the defensive zone (e.g., batted pucks or if the puck was shot out from the defensive zone). In the event of a failed challenge, another two-minute minor penalty will be assessed (in addition to the existing delay of game penalty).

Not so sure I like this one. Particularly the part about a 2nd penalty (added to original delay of game) for a failed challenge. Although, that is in line with other challenges.

The new Ducks threads are nice. The new Kings jerseys feel like a massive missed opportunity.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Yeah, seemed like he peaked in year two and coasted for years afterward.

He's getting lifetime contributor points for his role as a broadcaster.

The Sabres interviewed Zito in 2017. What could have been....
