Around the NHL: PTO Season Becomes Waiver Season

[Zman5778]

2 games or $5K seem to be their only two punishments lately. It could be Parros' son sitting around with a die just making the call:

On a roll of 1-2, nothing... 3-4, a fine... 5-6 they get 2 games.

Turns out it was a 1 game suspension. Guess they counted the game misconduct as a game.

I forgot the Bruins take half damage.

Very well done by Hoffmann

Chychrun has some Bogosianitis.

Chychrun has some Bogosianitis.

Maybe more slewfootitis in this instance.

Maybe more slewfootitis in this instance.

I gotta be honest. I really wanted the guy at the deadline even with the injury issues but man I'm glad he went to Ottawa.

He will be a great number seven on a vet minimum on our Stanley Cup teams after he’s let go by Ottawa because he gets injured too much… Basically the same as bogo on Tampa bay

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Boston and Tampa has 3 fights at puck drop, unfortunately I get to listen to the impaired Jack Edwards analysis on it.

Going to be a fun one between two douche teams.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Jeannot bumps Ullmark now as he came out to play the puck and then tries to get after Clifton. Turn this one on if you’ve got a few mins.

Holy crap. Someone seems like a peach.

didn't like the return of the Chry trade?

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Is a loss by the panthers here good for us? Because if it doesn't matter, I'd love to see the Rags lose

Yes because they are only 1 point back of Pitt for WC2

I'll be happy if he isn't around much to help them to the playoffs next season.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Stützle with 2 horrible defensive zone gaffs, 1 leading directly to a goal. Looks a little like olofsson out there, just better skating, skill and hands. Same terrible dzone play.

Ovi’s been on a heater, at least. 5 goals in the past 5 games. Doesn’t help down the Pens, but happy he’s gettin towards that record.

 

[WhereAreTheCookies]

Not a big fan of Hoffman, but glad he said something. The wheel of random justice needs to stop. They'll never stop these things from happening until they issue meaningful punishment. Skinner got 3 games for his crosscheck to Guentzel, Greer should have gotten the same.

 

[Beerz]

Holy crap. Someone seems like a peach.

I wonder if they have a misdemeanor strangulation charge

Dont look now, but Isles fans are starting to turn on Horvat. Rightfully so, he's being paid to put up points.

I know some posters pointed to the Isles recent record as evidence of Horvat having a big impact while Barzal was injured, but I'd say that's due to their defensive system and goaltending rather than Horvat being unable to put up points.

I was never a fan of that trade and sign, and was a bit surprised posters were pointing to that move as an indicator of the Sabres screwing up.

Ekholm? Sure. Horvat? That's not the type of trad Id be lining up to make. Incredibly high shooting % on the year, career year, wanted to get paid, was going to hurt a bit to acquire, etc...

Who wanted Horvat? I thought it was more frustration that the Isles were making moves and the Sabres weren’t. Didn’t want that player, personally, just a player. Of immediate substance. Instead we got Greenway and Stillman, meh.

Also, I know it’s sacrilege, but am I the only one low-key rooting for the leafs this year? I don’t like a lot of their players, but I like TB even less, and the leafs are entertaining, at least. The jokes are old and the fans get so damned defensive- let ‘em win one round, lose to Boston, and then we can all just laugh about that legacy. Although f*** Boston too.

Yeah, both the trade and the extension were moves made because Lou is likely going to retire well before the loss of picks and Horvat's horribad contract cost the Isles anything.

That is the cautionary tale for any "make a MOVE!!!!!" knee jerk reactions.
