NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[Hollywood Cannon]

Florida like the one that is only a few latitudes north of the Tropic of Cancer? They know how weather works right?

Rhetorical

We already had it confirmed that they don’t know how the Sun works so logic says they don’t have much of a grasp on weather either.

At least at Marlins stadium they’ll just close the roof if they need to.

I just want to see a NHL game on an actual pond. Any ponds in Canada? I hear it gets cold up there.

Feels like 25cm of snow here last few days. Shovelling every day.

Minus 30 with minus 40 wind next couple days.

It’s a good excuse to “get close” to the girl to l”save some heat”

Was a pretty play for him at both ends to start and finish the rush, but we don't need any of that in Philly.

He's your 7th dman, right?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

It’s going to be almost 60 tomorrow. After we had snow this morning. This weather is bananas

You don’t win by filling the net. You win by blocking shots, hitting and fighting for no reason

Was I right about this boy or was I right about this boy?

I need you to trade for Giroux at the deadline and win those two a cup.

For anybody else, this is the goal of their career.

For McDavid, this is Tuesday.

There's a quote from Samuel L Jackson to Leo D about using the N word in Django Unchained. Leo was apprehensive having to say the word to which SLJ responded "mother f***er this just a Tuesday for us". Or so I've read in anecdotes

Shame we aren’t playing him next Tuesday

 

[Beef Invictus]

By the time the dmen begin to realize "hey gotta maybe close the slot" he's already past the point where they can do anything about him.

It was so sad when the league figured him out all those years ago and he became a totally ineffective player.

Or so we were told at the time.

 

[Striiker]

Chuck Fletcher should be in prison for those trades.

Fun Fact: Risto would need 17 points in the next -1 games just to tie Ghost.

Ghost is 6th in 5x5 minutes on Carolina.
But he plays 3:52 minutes a game on PP.
Most of his scoring has come on the PP, ES 2-6 8 PP 4-13 17
Necas, Aho, Svechnikov, Jarvis

That's what AV didn't get, don't make him into what he wasn't, a top 4 D-man.
Carolina shelters him at ES and rides him on the PP.

Is a player who can score a ton in a small amount of minutes good? Do we want players like that?

Do we want a PP specialist?
Sure, in a couple years, and one on the right side of 30.

I didn't ask you if we want a PP specialist, I asked if we wanted a player who scores a ton in a small amount of minutes. Which it sounds like you don't?

Guess you would prefer this team tank.

I think he prefers to be a contrarian troll who hijacks every thread.

The Trouba situation reminds me a lot of what happened here with Vinny, but Vinny had a NMC so he couldn't be threatened with waivers. Hextall still managed to strongarm him into agreeing to retire with 2 years and $6,000,000 left on his deal.

Flyers trade Luke Schenn, Vinny Lecavalier to Kings

Updated: 9:35 p.m. Ron Hextall continues to defy imagination in finding ways to get rid of high cap hits no one else wants. Late Wednesday afternoon, the Flyers‘ general manager traded Vinny Lecavalier and Luke Schenn to the Los Angeles Kings for forward Jordan Weal and a third-round draft pick...

Vincent Lecavalier | 5yrs x 4.500M (UFA)

Vincent Lecavalier signed a 5 year, $22,500,000 contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on Jul. 2, 2013. The contract has a cap hit of $4,500,000.

Reminds me more of what Holmgren did with Gagne. Basically told him to pick between Tampa Bay and Edmonton

We really don't have to pretend that he only does well when sheltered because we have plenty of stats showing he also does well when he's on a top or second pair.

I've said for years that I'd Ghost is on your 3rd pair then you're either a really really good team, or you're really really bad at player evaluation. This remains true

Ghost doesn't score that much at ES, he's a PP specialist.
Would I want a top 4 D-man who scores a lot at ES, yeah, we have one in Sanheim.

No we don't. Arizona doesn't count, it's like saying AMac was a first pair D-man b/c he was on the first pair on a terrible Islanders team.

Ghost has been on the third pair on every other team he played for since leaving Philly.
Or do you think Brind'Amour is stupid?
