NHL: Around the League 51

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Chelios was objectively bad as was most of the ESPN crew so good.

I haven’t been watching TNT this year but Gretzky is so bad on TV. He has no tv presence at all.

During the postgame last night he said “there are some guys who when they score they show so much excitement”

Liam gives him some sort of softball setup “when you were playing for the oilers who were guys like that?”

Gretzky says “Oh I don’t know”

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Gretzky is famously annoyingly humble.

 

[BLKHKhockey]

Gretzky looks like he is being forced to be there.

Curious what Philly is getting here to take Petersen

I think they’re trying to tank at this point. Sounds like Hart is about to be traded as well.

Jarmo's job is on the line. Hes had more than enough runway in CBJ. If they dont win this year he is done.

 

[clydesdale line]

Maybe the Jackets might take Michkov after all. How many Russians are on that team now? Could help ease the transition in the future when he comes over.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Appears the Flyers are getting #22 (From Jackets) + 2nd (From Kings) + Grans (From Kings) in deal

Good deal for Flyers IMO

Get future assets for rebuild and Walker can be #6/7 for them this year to finish out his deal while Petersen is what he is

Flyers finally embracing a rebuild something they have needed to do for a longtime

- Flyers also getting 2nd from Jackets -

Overall all 3 teams got what they wanted

Jackets a top 4 LD , Kings cap room and Flyers futures

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The complete trade



Next time someone posts a 3-team trade involving 6 players and a bunch of picks and people say "That isn't realistic" people can point ot this trade as proof it does happen.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Warms my heart to see Columbus take an L

Now that Philly has gained the 22nd overall, we should send Seth Jones to Philly for Risto + 22nd.

 

[TLEH]

Provorov isn't good anymore. Also unsure on Walker's talent as a whole but it looks like the Kings dumped a decent amount of salary for a shit prospect and a 2nd round pick

I still contend that ESPN having the NHL is bad. They don't care about hockey at all. Their crews were terrible. Miss the NBC product.

It's almost unbearable to watch ESPN broadcasts. They're just... bad.

They only wanted the content to put on ESPN+ to get it off the ground and to kill competitior by denying it NHL product

By end of deal the NHL games will be on ESPNU and ESPN will be back to ignoring league

What competitor? Do you honestly know anyone that ever watched verses or NBC sports? The only shows they had besides hockey were random fishing or hunting content.

That they're already getting rid of some names that shouldn't of been there is a food thing. NBC had a dozen years of Pierre and Mulberry when everyone knew they needed to get tossed and never did

 

[TLEH]

NBC had horse racing, soccer as well.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Great trade for Philly.

holy f*** I can't stand him. HOLY JUMPING might be the most annoying go to line I hear from hockey guys.

 

[BHawk21]

I do not like Pangs shtick at all but at least hes qualified.

 

[Styles]

So lame. I can't stand him.

 

[TLEH]

The best broadcast in the league is the Kraken and its because they have Forslund. Hawks should have just shelled out for him when he was available.

 

[EbonyRaptor]

Is Pang replacing Motormouth? If yes - then it's not a bad deal - otherwise holy jumpin out the window.

There's still time to make it right.....

They need to go get Gary Thorne.
