My guess is Boston...

How did Crosby not get fined, that’s a bad look on the NHL

He was good for one ridiculous rush per game.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Sharongovich looks very good. And Samsonov just made an insane save

 

[CutOnDime97]

Hughes looks great too

Pierre just running his mouth with nonsense in the Carolina/Dallas game

You mean you have no interest in learning who he thinks is the Wayne Gretzky of women's water polo?

I noticed that during the Flyers Sabres game, seemed like he threw a few back before the game. Just talking about whatever came to his mind.

It wasn't that, but right after that when he was talking about how impressive Jake Oettinger was in the bubble and it set him up for this season. Dude played less than 40 minutes in the bubble and made 8 saves. The guy can tell me every bantam or junior team every player in the league has played for, but he doesn't even know the role a goaltender played for a team that went to the finals.

Listening to The Point on Sirusx,
coyotes could have walked away from the 2015 draft with

Marner
Aho
Cirelli

but instead got

Strome
Fischer
Capobianco

1,2,3 a few picks later in 2015.

This was the kind of situation I always feared from a sports team with COVID. We've seen it with the flu suddenly hit an entire team before, but thankfully the NHL/NBA/MLB break-outs have been fairly well contained. The exceptions being the Marlins and Cardinals last year, but that was like first month of a covid-coping MLB season.

I can only assume that there was some 'lax' behavior in Vancouver coupled with the much more infectious and quickly spreading Brazil variant. Just goes to show that even though the COVID-19 threads were nuked because of political talk the world both near and far to us continues to be heavily impacted by COVID-19 and there is a high spread in VERY MANY STATES at the moment because of re-openings and people hearing "vaccine" and even though they themselves don't have it still going out and acting like it's all over.

Hell. I'd say like 15-20% of people think the 'vaccine' is actually a COVID-19 'cure' and if they catch COVID-19 the vaccine will cure it.

The asking price for Ekholm is unhinged

SBA: Mom, can we get @Appleyard?

Mom: We have Appleyard at home...

Appleyard at home:

Galchenyuk flopping breaks statistical models. He was a complete force at the Junior level. I have been looking at historical numbers and he had a point on 52% of Sarnia's ES goals his last year. That was the highest since the CHL started providing detail stats in 2008.

Hard to believe that the Avs and Joe Sakic were largely considered the jokes of the NHL less than five years ago.

Much as I like Howe, I'm looking forward to Marleau breaking his record just for how assblasted people are getting about it

They've made some smart moves, but there probably isn't a team in the league that has had more luck in the first round of the draft than Colorado. Landeskog, McKinnon, Rantanen, and even when they lost the draft lottery they still got Makar.

Why did they switch to the blue pants/helmets? Looks terrible.

I know this is a kinda downer thing to bring up, but it made me think back to hopes and expectations for the Flyers five years ago. How fickle it all is.
