Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CI: Friday, March 8 at 3 p.m. ET. (TV info in OP)

It's not easy to be the clearly most dysfunctional team in the NHL. The pervasive old boys club means merit is in short supply and recycling of failures is maxed out. Usually, there's a bottom tier of a few teams who take turns being the worst.

But yeah, CBJ is really managing to stand out on their own. Good for them

Was that the guy they nearly chased back to the KHL earlier this year? I’ve lost track of all the f***ery from that organization.

Chinakhov?

Did anyone see how the Hawks handled Kane's return to Chicago?

Meanwhile Giroux didn't even get a tweet for his 100th point

Despite all the garbage around that team recently, they managed to celebrate a positive contribution from a remarkable talent since moved on.

The Flyers have Bob and his boys, so not enough glory to go around.

What was it sleeping pills?

Chinakhov?

It was Voronkov. I've been a Voronkov fan for basically 5 years, I hate to admit haha

Stankoven picks up his first NHL point on his birthday. Wonder how many NHLers can say that?

Caps 4 points behind the Flyers, with 2 games in hand, and 2 games against them

Tuomaala one pick ahead of him is going to be an all timer.

Dallas’ entire team is based around picking the guy we here ranked a lot higher than our own pick.

They got so many top players they selected deeper in the draft yet it feels like no one talks about them. Can't really think of any team I would put above them when it comes to scouting.

Its fairly simple. They dont draft for need. They prioritize puck skills and skating. They dont fall in love with recent small sample sizes like the WJC.

Best defensemen in Flyers history by far

He kinda turned it over to start the whole sequence but his recovery to break that up and turn it back up the ice was insane.

[Curufinwe]

Two goals for Ghost as they whip the Caps

 

[GKJ]

Penguins get both points in Vancouver

Devils up 7-1

Looking through Cap Friendly and I noticed Marian Gaborik's contract was traded to Tampa in December 2020. This blew my mind because I remember watching him play in like 2003, how the hell did he still have a contract in 2020? Some idiot GM signed a 32 year old Gaborik to a 7 year 4.875 mil deal in 2014?!

It was Lombardi. Lombardi signed Gaborik to this deal.

Why did this team bring Dean back after LA fired him, again?

They got Gaborik pretty cheap that deadline too as a rental. I think it was like a second rounder & Matt Frattin off the top of my head. So it wasn’t a big price paid but Lombardi just couldn’t walk away while he was ahead & gave Gaborik that deal coming off a big playoff run.

Edit: It was a second rounder, a conditional third rounder which hit, & Frattin.

I think Mark Howe would have a say in this debate but maybe the best in your lifetime

Ghost plays against other athletes, not bus drivers.

 

[wankstifier]

The Flyers should trade Seeler and Walker and pick up Gostisbehere for a 2027 3rd.
