Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

[Captain Lindy]

I think we match up better with the Oilers than Dallas. If we get past Florida...I can dream.

 

[Row I Goon]

Dallas can't PK for shit too. That might make the difference in this series at some point.

You could be right on the money, Lindy

I know why they have him there but Gretzky is so awful. It's painful listening to him. He's so bad.

 

[Roo Returns]

The worst part of that commercial is the husband's super punchable face

I'm sick of the rhythm when the wife drops the clippers while cutting the Banzai Tree. Yeah it triggers me.

If you grew up in suburban NY the husband looks like any every other pseudo hipster dbag.

Eh I liked his Dairy Queen thing and also him and Biz comparing notes is funny. Gretzky did more damage in like a random back to back in January 1981 than Biz did in his entire career.

So much for Dallas wiping the floor with Edmonton.

Not sure what the reason is for his aloofness. Does not want to jump into the pool of silliness with the rest of the crew.

Gretz and Hank arent the problem. Biz is. He shouldnt be there every night.

Gretzky skates story was awesome.

Toffoli has a new team every year, even though he’s usually productive.


I guess teams just can’t stand looking at his face for too long

My understanding is that the Hurricanes wasted no time in reaching out to Guentzel’s camp to talk possible extension and that there have already been a number of conversations. The interest is mutual, Guentzel enjoyed his time in Carolina after the trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins. But it’s also the one time in his career he’s gotten a shot at the UFA market. Does eight years at $8 million get it done to keep him in Carolina? Perhaps. But whether the Hurricanes would be willing to go there remains to be seen.

I do believe the Canucks make a strong push to re-sign Lindholm, which may mean having to clear more space out. But I suspect the 29-year-old’s price will be too high for him resist going to market. He should receive tremendous interest given the scarcity at his position and his skill set.

It does feel like Skjei is Carolina’s top priority on D to get re-signed. Coming off a career-high 47 points this season, a top-minute player who plays in all situations, he would be the top left-handed D on the UFA market and likely command six or seven years in term at the age of 30 and in the neighborhood of $6 million plus in salary. My guess is he would take a bit less to remain in Carolina.

Guentzel and Skjei staying in Carolina would be a big whatever. I predict their new GM will be a dope

At the end of the day they have a cheap owner and nothing's gonna change.

They think they have a pure strategy that will win over time (they don't) and it's a matter of iterations (it's not).

This will let him justify being cheap and that's pretty much it.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Guentzel should sign with Edmonton and play wing with RNH, then we can finally get the Beavis and Butthead line.

I agree. Call me crazy but Necas is a much better player than Guentzel. I welcome this news.

Congrats Scott Arniel on the HC position with the Jets

 

[noncents]

who do the canucks get rid of to pay lindholm? they gotta pay hronek too no? could we move kakko there for a garland 75% and sign necas?

Weird trade seems like the type of trade you make during the draft when you see who dropped.

Lou probably thought the draft was yesterday.

Man, Skinner f***ing sucks.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Oilers look like the better team in this series so far. Very surprised.
