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

[Fight4yourRight]

Pens are toast. They’re also going to be bad for a long time. Down to the Flyers, Isles and Devs. No way the Caps keep up.

 

[GKJ]

Free one there for McDavid

Nothing a little threatening to move to Kansas City can’t fix.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Just noticed Markstrom has 5 assists this year. He's more of an offensive weapon than Deslauriers. It's like Rosehill, but a decade later and he is in the lineup every god damn day. They really need to fire everyone and sage the building.

 

[GKJ]

Malkin scores and doesn’t even acknowledge it. Just skates to the bench.

Sean Walker, great hips on that guy.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Someone must have choked that year.

I believe it is tradition to blame the goalie, so let's organize an event to throw batteries at Boosh

 

[ellja3]

@kudymen has there been official NHL announcement re: Devils in Prague? My buddy Devils fan (I KNOW) would lose her mind if we somehow missed ticket sales.

Its absolute "fate" that they get Mckenna for another generational talent. I might put money on it now.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Anyone else remember the good old days of Nedved and Denis Gauthier on the Phantoms?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

 

[renberg]

Mike Sullivan is another one whose time is up.

Soon to be on Tortorella's staff?

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

Soon to be on Tortorella's staff?

Not a chance.

It sounds like Conroy & NJ had a deal in place enough to ask Markstrom to waive his NTC which he did but then Don Maloney stepped in on behalf of ownership & nixed the potential deal. So that’s where Markstrom’s beef is/was I guess he warned himself up to the thought if being traded only for it not to happen at the last minute.

I haven’t read this but I’m going to guess that Maloney isn’t keen on retaining salary. They’ve only retained on 2 players since RST’s were introduced. One is right now on Tanev and the other was David Rittich. Both pending UFA’s.

It didn’t state what the reasons were for Maloney/ownership nixing it.

I was wondering something along the lines of money too &/or the possibility of goalie returns just not being strong in general.

 

[sabremike]

You have no idea what I would give to be locked in a steel cage with Karmanos for 5 minutes with the medieval weapon of my choice.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Why is NJ willing to add?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Told ya they’d fire Lindy.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Told ya they’d fire Lindy.

Devils will go on a run now too, please sell FLyers !!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Travis Green?

 

[Magua]

Well, I can tell you where Sheldon Keefe or Mike Sullivan will coach next season, if it's not with their current teams.

 

[sabremike]

COME ON TERRY BRING LINDY HOME!!!

 

[BigToe]

yay



if you bring up the shooting percentage we're not friends anymore

 

[GKJ]

Devils firing Ruff is the single biggest thing that could affect the playoff race.
