Miscellaneous NHL Discussion C: The centenarian of threads

[Hollywood Cannon]

At least Rocky Wirtz isn’t around to say something moronic anymore.

... said every single person after every single press conference.

So we know he didn't bang Mrs. Bedard, but that's about it

Maybe it wasn't "sexual relations".

Does Corey Perry own a Zack Wilson jersey?

Does Corey Perry own a Zack Wilson jersey?

No, just an Ivan Provorov pillow

Morgan Fr...I mean Anthony Beauvillier to Chicago for a 5th.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Didn't realize so many teams were still holding out. Good for them

Did you guys know that when Bill Dineen coached the Flyers he was in a relationship with the mother of one of his players?

Sounds like one wild and crazy guy!

Blackhawks terminate Corey Perry’s contract, but many questions remain unanswered

The big question lingering is whether Perry’s alleged misconduct has risen to the level of a material breach of his...

www.dailyfaceoff.com

According to sources, an alcohol-fueled incident involving Perry was alleged to have occurred during an event that included corporate partners and team employees in attendance. It remains unclear what allegedly took place, who witnessed it, and who reported it to the team.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, I can easily see how that situation could justify a termination.

It's shitty that Bedard's family got dragged into rumors about it when it sounds like there's no involvement whatsoever.

 

[flyerslducks]

Yoooo this is great haha

 

[VladDrag]

Mintyukov was taken 5 spots after Cutter.

Fun little site for those who have a sub to athletic. For those who don't have a sub, Dom attempts to grade players total value with a number (+ is good - is bad). There are two numbers for each player...Current and Future numbers, he also provides market value vs salary and surplus value.

It's crazy how good the Carolina Hurricanes are at getting surplus value on contracts.

I'm looking through what I posed above, I did not realize Guentzel was a UFA after this season. Pens have a real decision to make on him. Currently, they are out of a playoff spot, but still being projected to be right on the edge (7-9th) in the eastern conference. Guentzel would bring back a haul for them - he'd be one of the best forward rentals, if not the best. But it seems clear they are going to push their chips all in over the next 2-3 years (until Crosby/Malkin/Letang retire).

Here's the thing, it's hard for to imagine Guentzel re-signing long term in PIT. Their best players are well over 30, and like I said, they probably only have 2-3 years until their stars retire. He's 29, so I doubt he's going to be looking for a 3-4 year deal (but maybe he does give a discount)....

I don't know, it will be interesting to see what happens.

real Hockey is good ol honest hockey.. just ask Torts

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't get how their PP is so bad.

[wankstifier]

It wild to me that so many professional athletes can binge drink and perform at a high level

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Huh. That's an actual apology. I wasn't expecting that. Hopefully he gets whatever help he needs.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Pretty f***ed up that someone started that rumour with no basis to it

 

[GKJ]

Sorry everyone thinks I’ve been an asshole my entire life. Turns out I have an alcohol problem!

 

[DancingPanther]

So now we should find the crock who started the Bedard rumor and send him to the sun

 

[Beef Invictus]

Huh. That's an actual apology. I wasn't expecting that. Hopefully he gets whatever help he needs.

If he were a player in his early 20s I'd chalk it up to a harsh learning experience about boozey work events. But at his age and experience level, yeah, that's an alarming sign to get "Public Apology" drunk at work.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh shit that reminds me that my wife's workplace is having their annual mega-decadent holiday party. Beefette is the infant's food supply so she will be the DD. I can get "Public Apology" drunk at her work on free Glenlivet! Or Hendricks! Maybe I do tequila!

Consider this a vote for Hendricks, unless you need to fight a person or inanimate object while the inside of your body feels intensely hot, then go with the tequila.
