Bro you just got traded for someone who's scored 788 points, calm down

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Oh man, Canes fans penciling Stank in as the 2C... Hope that works out for them

Not this year...in a couple of seasons, maybe, but it's more likely, IMO, that he becomes something akin to Jarvis except a 2nd-line version...which is still a great fit for the Canes.

Shapiro on Filipovics podcast said most the Insider stuff after Stars and Canes had the deal in place was bullshit until the deal was concluded. This aparently was a steady process and the Stars never considering walking away from it . Insiders just made up stuff to keep things exciting.

That's some Jim Lites behavior.

 

[Kcb12345]

The Hurricanes initially asked for Mitch Marner in return for Rantanen. Because it was for Rantanen, the Maple Leafs had to consider it. They told the winger their desire is to sign him, but they had to ask in this case. As is his right, Marner declined to move, re-iterating his desire to stay.

 

[serp]

Also this sounds like BS to me .

Sources: Hurricanes asked for Maple Leafs' Marner in Rantanen deal

Post-deadline, there are always stories seeping out … some things that don’t happen, some that did. One that continues to evolve is what happened before Mikko Rantanen was traded from Carolina to Dallas.

Yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if Carolina signed him in the offseason. At the very least, it might make the Leafs fans melt down, which is always fun.

 

[serp]

That's some Jim Lites behavior.

I think this all goes back to the fact that they all feel like have to act like clown-ish social media influencers to keep people interested . So they just talk complete bullocks when they have nothing real to report.

Except that’s not what Nill himself said. Even Nill said there was a point early in the day where they thought the deal was dead

I don't remember that beeing part of the Nill press availability. Gotta re-watch it now.

Go watch his interview on NHL network, I’ll see if I can find it for you


Edit: maybe it’s not the one, I’ll find it because whatever I watched yesterday I posted about it

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Shapiro is a hack. I'm with Zapp the way Nill described it was exactly like what the insiders were saying.

 

[ElGuapo]

I don't remember that beeing part of the Nill press availability. Gotta re-watch it now.

I remember reading that when he showed up to work at 8am he thought it was dead with the agent. Then the agent called around 10:30 saying they were interested.

I saw some live Stars podcast pop up in my YouTube recs yester eve and as soon as I realized that Shapiro was the guest on it I hit back real fast.

Shapiro is just wrong here. Nill did say this on the Ticket yesterday.

 

[BrettHullsToe]

Don't think ive ever seen everyone on this board happy at the same time

f*** yeah

Tonight's game cant come fast enough

It's been a while but this was a truly great moment:




2020 was such a shit year with COVID, making the Finals felt extra good.

Thanks Troy

Those two or three weeks when Gurianov's one timer was accurate were so much fun.

I also just realized, of the 5 guys on the powerplay, only Hintz is still here. Lots of the guys jumping on the ice to celebrate are gone too.

Rosters turnover sooo fast.

 

[Troy McClure]

Pro athletes love to use this kind of mentality as motivation. It's a big separation between the guys getting paid to play and the guys who didn't make it.

If it helps him finally take the step he's been missing all season, good for him.

 

[Zapp]

30:00 when Friedman starts talking is great stuff

- A lot of teams tried to stop Rantanen to Dallas from happening.

-Friedman reiterates even he thought briefly this deal was dead

-Rantanen is the one that stepped up saying “get this done, I wanna be in Dallas.”



Elite shit

Nah, Sean is great. I don't get why everyone has to hate every single Stars writer.
