Kinkaid jist shut out the Bruins.

(Pretty easy game for him, really)

You know what they say: when life gives you kink ...

Maybe they mean a scale model, like the cars I glued together as a youth were 1/16th the size of the actual thing.

It’s criminal Jim Benning still has a job.

Spoiler: Oh hey, I remember that guy

It’s actually pretty wild. They have Pettersson, Hughes, & Hoglander on ELC’s this year. Even guys like Boeser, Horvat, & Miller are reasonably priced & that team is essentially capped out because Benning continually signs awful expensive UFA deals every year.

He admitted this past week that the team is two years away from being competitive. Why would that be, Jim? Is it because you signed Beagle, Roussel, and Eriksson to three of the league's worst contracts that happen to expire at the same time?

He apparently recently publicly said re-signing Tanner Pearson was a big priority so not really sure the overpaying will stop any time soon.

Rangers rolling Boston

Only a matter of time before they pass us too.

Bellows scores again

Ottawa putting a beating on Toronto in those sweet Red jerseys

 

[Striiker]

Time for Toronto to blow it up, I assume?

One thing I’ve picked up from bef is reading random Medal of Honor citations. They make action movies seem bland and forgettable by comparison.

Audie Murphy was toned down for the movies because he and directors were afraid that audiences would consider his actual exploits too unrealistic.

One of my heroes as a kid. Those movies on Saturday and Sunday afternoons were like mother's milk to me. Total badass.

NJD / NYI OT offside review. I did smile at a few things, but generally, as always, what are we doing here, guys?

Situation Room Initiated Challenge: NYI @ NJD - 0:27 of Overtime



Edit: Yup, fav moment was the linesman's gentle hand-on-glute maneuver. Second fav the continuous wishful thinking from the Isles' broadcast crew despite not being able to actually see the skates in question or the puck on the screen they were viewing. Third maybe Subban's near-Yakupov?

Great ESPN memory. I think this game made me a hardcore fan going forward:

I was lucky enough to be there for this game. Primeau was nearly unstoppable. I don’t know how they were so flat for game 7.

I remember wanting nothing at all to do with Myers in 2019. That 6 mil cap hit is 5 mil too much now.

• The NHL agreed to a seven-year deal with ESPN, and media pundits suggest its rights package could be worth $625 million if NBC renews its own contract.
• Dan Cohen, senior vice president of Octagon’s Global Media Rights Consulting division, said the NHL could solicit more than $600 million annually for its entire package.
• Cohen added the NHL “would be best served to renew its other rights package with NBC.”

• NHL could net $600 million a year once second rights package is sold (cnbc.com)

Free agency is generally fool's gold, even good signings tend to be value, rarely do you get a steal.
And TDL trades are a good way to deep six a franchise.
Problem is the "do something" syndrome, which is usually ends up doing something bad.

Actually curious to see Eichel away from that dumpster fire there in Buffalo.
