NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

[Strawberry Fields]

Well, here we are again boys, the Bears are one win away from their second straight Calder Cup and have two cracks at home to finish the job. God willing I will finally see a team put a series away. Also I've been shut out from both games as HERCO decided to gouge and charge major league prices (read: $70-100 a seat) for minor league hockey. Kind of bummed I won't get the chance to see them win in person, if they do, after going to games all season and playoffs, but unfortunately I've got other stuff to pay off as well.

Dude needs a rest, because the way things are going he needs to post a shutout for Cats to win.

I'm pretty sure I was in Italy for the end of Bryz...was his 2012-2013 really that bad? His numbers aren't horrific?

Or did they just not want him in the building anymore?

I remember 2011-2012 he started off slow, but then got hot late? Playoffs were brutal, obviously.

Bob deserved a better fate in game 6. Team in front of him has been a bakery with all the turnovers. Not enough urgency from the skaters

Might be time for Tony Two Tits.

It was bad.

League executives say the Senators are also scouring the market to see if there’s any interest in defencemen Erik Brannstrom and Jacob Bernard-Docker.

*snip*

Brannstrom, a restricted free agent, requires a $2-million qualifying offer to retain his rights for free agency and the Senators are torn on whether they want to go that route.

Brannstrom is a hard yes if he's available as cheaply as that makes it seem. That's an effective soon to be 25 year old NHL Defenseman for peanuts.

Man, I think that dream may be dead. Such a shame.

Normally teams refrain from moves because of an unofficial "No trades during cup" policy but in recent years an occasional one would happen (Usually minor)

This year though with the cup final going until nearly up to draft teams likely couldn't wait and wanted to get to work on offseason already

Cant say I blame them

Personally, I think NHL would be better off having big trades, etc. happen during off days of finals because attention for league is miniscule as is so a potential headline wouldn't be bad thing

 

[Deadpool8812]

The fact that it's the end of June and we still haven't handed out th Cup is pretty dumb

I honestly haven’t even really watched much beyond the first & second rounds. The games got an hour later plus the Phillies are usually on which takes priority for me.

Same. I watched portions of all series, but apart from game 6, I don't think I've watched a full game in a while. Obviously I'll watch tonight.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I am old and I have to be up at 5:30 for work so there is little chance I can stay up and watch a game that will end 11:00 PM or later.

 

[kudymen]

McDavid outscoring previous 5 draft classes is amusing.

The Giroux mention is satisfying.
