Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[Boris Zubov]

Shouldn't that be a goal?

 

[LokiDog]

What happened to him?

Nurse with a pretty brutal slash on the foot. Was reviewed as a major but they gave him 2. I thought it was pretty bad.

 

[LokiDog]

 

[Boris Zubov]

Dallas showing more life in the last 20 seconds than they did most of the game.

 

[LokiDog]

Skinner is 3-4.

3 shutouts.

20 goals in the other 4 games.

 

[Boris Zubov]

That's ugly...could be a broken ankle.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Dallas showing more life in the last 20 seconds than they did most of the game.

Shocked they didn't go after Nurse towards the end of the game or one of their better players

 

[inranger94]

Emily has gotten kinda hot. Sorry Will.

Can't do that yet...it's a long series.

Edmonton played incredible defense tonight

 

[Machinehead]

Skinner is 3-4.

3 shutouts.

20 goals in the other 4 games.

Boy howdy, have I ever mentioned that I hate goaltenders?

Good thing we bucked the trend & overpaid for our guy. Luckily it's only for the short term.

 

[Machinehead]

This seems less than ideal

 

[17futurecap]

This seems less than ideal

Ceci is 6’2 so it doesn’t matter that he stinks.

 

[Guyute]

Oilers winning just by sending Ceci to your competitor, making Nurse less heinous in the process.

 

[Bob Richards]

Skinner is 3-4.

3 shutouts.

20 goals in the other 4 games.

Other than the 3 shutouts his highest save % in a game is .833

Before each game, every goalie decides how their performance will go by flipping a coin with one side being Dan Cloutier and the other side being Patrick Roy.

They flip that coin, get their answer and then proceed to play like Mike Smith anyway.

 

[Row I Goon]

Can’t believe Skinner’s gonna get a shutout

Did I call it or what?

 

[RangerBoy]

Rematch of the Cup finals is coming.

 

[RangerBoy]

Man… if only someone had suggested Sam Bennett back when he was a Flame.


Reminder: he was had for a SECOND and EMIL HEINAMEN.

I suggested Zuccarello for Bennett on July 2, 2017

Sam Bennett?

The Flames need a RW. Troy Brouwer and Michael Frolik are the their top two RW's.

Mats Zuccarello.

Bennett is a group II without arbitration rights.

Calgary traded all of their picks for Hamonic and they are in another epic battle of Alberta steel cage match with the Oilers.

Zuccarello helps them try to win right away. They really need that top 6 forward. Bennett is their 3rd line center behind Monahan and Backlund.

Bennett is young(21). The Rangers want to "rebuild on the fly" and remain competitive. Bennett will cost $2M-$2.5M in a two year bridge...

I also suggested Brassard for Zibanejad on January 26, 2016. Six months before the trade was made.

Speculation: Post in thread 'NYR Roster Building Part XXXII'

Jan 25, 2016

The team desperately needs another right handed shot. It is weird watching Ottawa with righties coming out of their ass with Ryan,Stone,Zibanejad,Turris and Lazar.

Brassard has a limited NTC. He is from that area. Maybe they are on his list of teams.

Something about Brassard for Zibanejad. Brassard has a good contract. The Rangers have paid off nearly $13M of the $25M. $5M for 16-17. $2M is a signing bonus which the Rangers pay on July 1. $3M in 16-17. Mika is at $3.25M in actual dollars and is then a group II with arbitration rights. Brassard is owed $7M combined in the last 2...

Machinehead hated the idea a few posts later after looking at Mika's possession charts and said he is the Giarardi at center. This guy and charts!!!

Zibanejad is Girardi at center.

Just an absolute mess of a possession player.

Can you suggest McDavid to the Rangers for a huge discount? Thanks.

In the roster building thread I compiled a list of me pushing Bennett that went back to my previous HF account. The earliest post I found was in 15-16 and I stopped when we got to 2021 because it was irrelevant by then. I’ve been doing the same with Byram the past two years.

“Does anyone in this room think that if Connor McDavid gets carried off the ice like that, that it’s not a five minute major?”

In all fairness, Hintz is not McDavid, and whoever did that to Connor would have an immediate lifetime ban and sentencing, narrated by Keith Morrison.
