odd trade no? Cap clearing move? I dunno

i like arizona's top 4:

OEL-hammer
goligoski-demers

goligoski and demers were teammates in dallas - not sure if/how much they played together, but that's a pretty solid group.

This is Dale Tallon cleaning up the mess that was made in his one year off the job. This is him saying you way overpaid for this guy.

that`s what I figured, that organization has done some incredibly wacky things. Leave Tallon alone to do what he does best and good things happen

Joffery Lupul denies failing Physical. Says the Leafs "cheat, and everyone lets them" . This is huge! Hope leafs are fined. Lupul must be pissed. Good for him speaking out.

Story is covered in the SN link below. Cowan, now with the Avs, also called them out over the weekend for similar reasons. Not the type of PR a team or the league likes to see.

Not impressed by Tallon at all since he's been back.

Eichel needs to hit FA at 26 like Pastrnak

Seems like a wacky ownership move. I think Arizona wins that trade easily, hopefully Florida keeps imploding.

I agree. He tried to get Gudbranson back for Demers, but Demers didn't want to go to Vancouver. Florida is a train wreck.

Sampled some pre-season action tonight. LOTS of penalties being called, almost post-lockout levels. I imagine teams will want to make the necessary adjustments before the season starts so there aren't this many PP opportunities.

I've been a little out of the loop the last few weeks dealing with Hurricane Harvey and the aftermath, so I was unaware Ryan Malone was auditioning for the Minnesota Wild. He looked pretty good, netting the shootout winner. And with as tight as the playoff races are, that's what a vet like that can bring.

Glad you could tune into what I would think may well be described as a pleasant distraction at this point. Easy for the outside world to move on to other daily events and somewhat forget what's happened when the reporters and the cameras go away. That's when the heart breaking work is just beginning for so many directly impacted by the hurricane. Hope you and your family, neighbours amd community are all ok and copying as best you can in trying to regain some semblance of a normal life. Wish you all well in bringing that about.

This sucks for Ottawa

This sucks for Ottawa

Everything is going bad for Ottawa this summer. First it was losing Methot, then it appears that Karlsson will miss the 1st month of the year due to his surgery, MacArthur not cleared medically to play and probably looking at retirement, and now the Colin White news.

I forgot to mention that long time GM Brian Murray also passed away during the summer.

Thanks so much Sharp Shooting Neely!

I have no idea why myself and my immediate family were so fortunate, since we live so close to the overburdened reservoir dam - but we did not flood. My small business will be very slow for a while, but I'm prepared to handle it (I think!).

I have taken my gloves and mask and helped friends gut flooded houses, and yes, it is heartbreaking. And it does put things in perspective regarding sports.

I'm not looking for sympathy, just prefacing my surprise at seeing Ryan Malone. Someone might ask 'Where have you been, living under a rock?'

And my answer would be, 'Well yes, I have been!'

Sports are therapeutic in that they do provide at least temporary normalcy.

The only thing abnormal last night was somehow the Bruins beat the Canadiens.

They have had some bad things happen for sure. As for MacArthur, while I never want to see a guy`s career end due to concussions or any other reason, he lost any respect I had for him last year when he comes back from concussion and immediately hit a Bruin square from behind (can`t recall which Bruin it was?)

I remember that hit also, but darned if I can recall which Bruin player it was. I do remember Kevin Miller exacting some revenge on MacArthur later in the series.

Devils forward Brian Boyle has been diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia

Just brutal.

 

[Sharp Shooting Neely]

Marchand doesn't hold back on how he feels about the league face off rule change. From the TSN article:

"The National Hockey League has a mandate to crack down on faceoff violations this season and Brad Marchand isn't happy about it."

“This faceoff rule is an absolute joke,†the Boston Bruins winger said on Tuesday. “That’s how you ruin the game of hockey, by putting that in there. They’re gonna have to do something about that because we can’t play this year like that."

Josi named Preds captain. Good for him

Ellis "associate" captain. Can't say I've heard it called that, but sounds like Bergeron, where he's the permanent A and others rotate the other one.

Feel bad for the players, but you wont see me feeling sorry for that franchise. **** Ottawa. Cant stand them.

Wow. No words. Mercy for his family

Eichel is about to explode....90 points I'd guess this year.

I actually heard about this a couple days ago at Market Basket (Franklin Lakes, NJ), one of his relatives/friends (assuming) was there talking to the chef about it, so I googled it and it wasn't news yet so I thought they didn't know what they were talking about. Really unfortunate.

They may be the frontrunners for Duchene though, and if they deal prospects for him, look out that team could really move up to right underneath the Penguins.
