News from Around the AHL/NHL/KHL 2024-25

[saintunspecified]

I’d rather watch curling than football.

Only if I could watch with no commentary, and have full volume microphones of the teams. Or maybe have some third team not involved in that particular match provide the commentary. It'd like watching a sport, and trailer park boys at once.

Hey Grandpa, how about this?

Or drafted Bailey in a Keeper League after the 2022-23 season . . .

Dufour should be working on his skating, not fighting wrestlers.

Dufour should be working on his skating, not fighting wrestlers.

Maybe he is preparing for his next gig after hockey. I don’t see a NHL player when I watch him play.

Did you just call a football game a "match?"

That's the common way to say it in England . . . used for both soccer and our football when they broadcast it

Thus, the shame attached.

With that burn… Daggers takes a one-nil lead on the pitch over @leeroggy.

The meltdown on the pitch continues! As the gaffer for United Leeroggy unleashes a torrid protest on the official.

Possibly looking at a red card and ejection from the match.

FWIW, I just wanted to keep annoying Daggers with more football (the hippy dippy commie kind) vocab.

I was talking about watching curling, not football. time for a broomstack, weirdos.

Your first thought has got to be, "WTF, Michkov is smaller than Danny Briere???"

Briere always reminds me of Johnny Depp's Wonka for some reason.

It seems to me a bizarre decision, but I'm not enmeshed in hockey culture, nor do I care about the legacy of the Bowman name.

The Oilers have a coach in place. They have their roster in place. Do they think Bowman is the person who can keep the band together?

Lou reminds me of Mister Magoo.

Every offseason I find myself saying “Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again.”

Why would you move on from Holland to bring this clown in? Perhaps he'll trade for Seth Jones and extend him?

Search me. All I know is Bandon Saad is wondering when the next shoe will drop.

Laine is cleared to leave the player assistance program, which means now he can be traded.

So, do you all want to start a pool on what day the trade to CAR will be announced?

As much as I want him here, crafting a trade will be tough with a 22-man roster already looking possible.

Got to open a lot of cap space, since CBJ retaining will hurt with picks and prospects.

Might need to look like Laine for JGP, Holms, George, Maggio and a 1st, with CBJ retaining nearly $3.5 million.

And even then, we still likely have a 22-man roster.
