I actually forgot Walker ended up in Carolina.

Low key Kings produced quite a few serviceable dmen over past decade or so.

Could you imagine how much better off we'd be with Ghost, a #1, 2 #2s, and a #7 (and Hoggle) than Risto? Fletcher should have been fired the day he proposed that horseshit two-step.

Not much point obsessing over Holmgren, Hextall, Fletcher (and Clarke) at this point.

This group, for better or worse, is a clean break.
Scott was a finance guy, who I think was focused on attendance (revenues), and wasn't willing to mandate a rebuild.

Hilferty I think is a fan first, and doesn't seem to feel pressure to fill seats in the short-run.

Florida just challenged a play where a puck hit a Canuck player's glove on the faceoff drop, the Canucks got control, and then the Canucks scored.

The goal counted and the Panthers got themselves a penalty for delay of game.

Haven't seen that before.

Latvian v Latvian violence in Florida, @ellja3!

Balinskis fought Blueger.

I would have sworn there was a saying of some sort about failing to learn from history...

This is not just not learning but being convinced that past mistakes were actually right and just need to be repeated for best results.

I think he’s reasonably projectable as a secondary scorer in the NHL, but he absolutely took shifts off at BC last year. He would go missing for 30 mins at a time. I am not shocked to see this early on in the season.
