Already? Why? Just why?

Koepke back

Feels like a two horse race for the 7th player this year between Korpisalo and Freaky Geekie.

I'm taking korpi many out in sens land called him forpisalo. Hes proven them wrong.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Anyone have video of the Zadorov misconduct? Tkachuk wanted no part of him tonight - his gloves looked glued on.

Yeah, all I saw was him taking a shot
Assumed it was to mellow out the last 5 secs

 

[TCB]

I like Brady Tkachuk. A lot. He was fiery tonight.

Can’t stand his brother though.

He was and he didn't back down from Zadarov. Pretty obvious he wasn't going to drop the gloves with him, but it didn't stop him from playing his usually robust combative way.

 

[Gordoff]

Complete waste and now we are stuck with him. Nobody going to take on his 7.75 mil per.

I keep seeing that Vancouver fans miss E. Lindholm. Trade him and (name a player here) for JT Miller. Very similar contracts and term.
Sorry Elias, we're going in a different direction!

And Elias just points to his full NMC in his contract…

 

[UncleRico]

Very solid win. Much needed two points and thought the 2nd period was one of the best they’ve played all year defensively. They had some really good opportunities but They just have no finish.

Yea & if you buy him out you are looking at 10 yrs at 1.5 mil cap hit ,give or take.I was looking at that earlier and pretty sure that I read it correctly.

Bruins catch a break, no Rantanen for the Avs tomorrow:

Bruins catch a break, no Rantanen for the Avs tomorrow:

That is a real trade? Seems odd for Colorado. A contender trading an elite player?

Some GM's know you can't let an asset walk for nothing.

MacKinnon always came off as high strung enough that I could see him beating MacFarland's ass for this.

I don't think you're supposed to do that...”

 

[Clode]

Some GM's know you can't let an asset walk for nothing.

This is exactly it, they knew they weren't going to be able to afford him so they dished him and now they are deep as hell down the middle. Necas is a hell of a player.

 

[22Brad Park]

They all know it but owners get involved sometimes when they smell playoff gates

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

No, I said 5v5. As you point out, Zadorov's official plus/minus is +10. But at 5v5, he's -2, whereas Oesterle is +6.

Zads has a really quirky +/- this season, in that his positive goal differential comes almost entirely from 4v4 and 3v3 hockey. Which is still a credit to him, as far as you can read anything into these things, but perhaps not quite as much as it might initially appear.

Sorry, I stand corrected. Didn't seem right that you would be wrong. And turns out I was right, you weren't wrong.

Though I see 3v3 and 4v4 pretty much the same as 5v5, as they are all even strength.

Surprised there are that many 3v3 & 4v4 goals that it would make that much of a difference.

 

[Hookslide]

And Elias just points to his full NMC in his contract…

Donnie first mistake, signing him, second mistake money, third mistake, years, fourth mistake like you point out NMC.

 

[JAD]

They'll have to win some of those road games to grab a playoff spot

..the good news is 6 out of 7 games in February are at home

They definitely need to improve their road record. We will need evidence of improvement on the road before March 7th. Decisions will have to be made before then. Those 10 road games in March will go a long way towards whether they qualify or not. At that time of year teams begin to play a tighter checking game and don't play as wideopen, which may benefit Boston. At least I am hoping for the best.
