Do we need a “Other Games” thread?


I don’t think that was a penalty shot for TB. You want to call a 2 min hold, fine. Penalty shot? Looked iffy to me.

We usually use this thread for that kind of stuff. I don't see any major reason for not continuing to do so but I'm not opposed if there's a strong desire for an out of town games thread.
 
Hell of a soccer flop to get TB the PP. A shame there’s flopping in the NHL now.

I'm not watching that game but if it's a head snap that's obviously fake it should be a suspension. I can't stand faking injuries.

Back in my day...

Watching pens/hawks.

ESPN is trash. Along with their advertisers


Go 98!!
ESPN is bizarre. During the Nashville game, some TB player blocked a shot with his knee or got hit or whatever and struggles to the bench. ESPN does a split screen with this guy doubled over on the bench and the game on the other half. And this went on for almost a minute. Like who fvcking cares about this dude, put the game on full screen. Show the dude when the play stops. SMH

It was a high stick that almost but didn’t hit the TB player in the face. Refs called the penalty. But then on the Chicago game, refs changed a call after review and said it wasn’t a high stick. Why couldn’t they review the TB call then?
 
Well, the Karlson era in Pittsburgh is now 0-1
What a shame . . .

Wanted him on the isles. He looked like the kind of player they needed in 2022.
I obviously don't actually know but I firmly believe he was our target. He was a late riser, exactly what we needed. He got taken, we traded the pick for a smooth skating young LH dman. Obviously different styles but I remember Lou saying the pick became available based on the players left around their selection.

So me connecting the dots on players taken above with what we ended up acquiring, I think they were high on him.

Honestly had to be between Mateychuk and him. Isles needed a defenseman to replace Leddy/Toews, and they didn't get that in the draft. Make sense they took Odelius and George since both can be similar to the type of defense that those two played.

I put the game on, and turned it off 5 minutes later. I simply can't watch their broadcasts, unless it's an Isles game, and even then it's a painful experience.
The excitement of the third period of the lightning/preds game was completely ruined by Bucci and crew
 

There was a game long ago, maybe against Tampa at the beginning of the season where he looked awesome and had a goal. Thought we had found something with the Swede...


Side note on someone who looks Swedish...that Brock Boeser guy had 4 goals last night

Edit- only one of them was a really "nice" goal though

Impossible!!! Many of the posters here said he's too slow and sucks. After all, at 26 years old he was washed up and can't improve . . .

Entertaining game last night between Calgary and Winnipeg. I know it is late for those in the east. It looked like Ehlers got hurt at the end. I always liked him and was intrigued about him during his draft year. I know this may be uncommon but I love ESPN Plus.
