Around The NHL (Part XLI)

[Vitto79]

You mentioned Boyle for Ellerby (as did maybe one or two others, I believe). He got traded for a 5th. I don't understand why Glen isn't offering a 4th or a 5th + a cond. 7th or something. Loktionov went for a 5th. Lovejoy went for a 5th. Now Ellerby for a 5th. At least either of the Dmen could have helped our bottom pairing. Not sure why we don't do something like this. These are decent young guys who will get a better chance to play in their new locations and will likely cement themselves as third line/bottom pairing guys, getting moved for extremely cheap. We need to be in on this kind of activity.

he's likely looking for a top 4 rental instead offering a better pick. No rush since its early and Gilroy is not sucking........yet..........still have depth in Eminger and Bickel even though none of us trust them come playoff time

I feel bad for the caps. They had a great goalie in Varly. An AHL goalie has a good playoff run, and they decide he's a #1. They trade Variy.
Turns out the new goalie isn't that good, but luckily they signed Vokoun to help them. Next playoffs, a another AHLer has a great playoff run, and they decide he's a #1. Turns out he's not bad, he's terrible.

Now they're stuck with 2 AHL goalies

Yeah, I can't figure out what McPhee has been doing with the goaltending these past few years.

So Tampas game vs the Bruins was supposed to start at 1 tomorrow, giving them a little time to rest up before they come to MSG. Now the game has been moved to 7.

Should be an advantage for our guys.

That sounds like good news for us going to the game on Sunday. If Boston can play a game at 7, then chances are Sunday 730 New York (they're supposed to be hit less) trains will be working. A bit of a leap, but I'm hanging on to any hope.

Perry and Robidas good scrap.. Robidas is a solid dman..

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Staubitz injured the rookie Dillion and got a 5 and a game misconduct... looks like a spear

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Benn powerplay goal 2-0... and this powerplay is 24th in the league...took them about 15 seconds or so

Nah screw them.

Tyrell always had 99 OV skating in my NHL games, pick him up Slats.

 

[Kershaw]

Tyler Myers healthy scratched.

But he's better than McDonagh!

 

[The Gloaming]

Why am I even watching this lol. Already 1-0 Pens.

 

[Thunderhead]

"The Tub of Lard" should have taken the day off. 1-0 Pens

 

[Thunderhead]

To laugh at Chico and Fatso.

Wow. How the mighty have fallen.

 

[Fitzy]

I have no idea why people insist on saying Victor Hedman is a good defenseman. He is horrifying. Myers on the other hand, just needs the right system. I think he'd be fantastic on our team, but his cap hit is pretty high.

 

[Thunderhead]

Newark is 0 for 4 on the pp, so far.

Really? Hedman has been playing really for for 2 seasons now and has been Tampa's best player this season. All he needed was a stable defense partner and he got that in Sami Salo.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I find myself warming up to Kovalchuk more and more.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Hedman is just incredible "meh". Like Adam Larsson is going to be.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Matteu gets his first.

 

[The Gloaming]

Congrats to Stefan Matteau on scoring his first goal.

But I'll still hate him.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

By warming up, I hope you mean burn with the fire of hatred when you see him do well with the Devs.

He's a player I could really enjoy (and did, when he played for ATL) if he wasn't on the ****ing Devs. Same with Elias, who's probably one of the most underrated players of this generation.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Matteu gets his first.

Nice play by Greene, pretty much an empty net. Worst part was listening to Chico orgasm afterwards

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

LMAO MARTY.

What the **** was that!
