Just 8 more years to go...

Thank you duckies

Tried to turn on the Winter Classic only to learn it's not on January 1 anymore? So the 2025 WC was played in 2024.

Never change NHL.

the challenge for GK interference that was upheld...i can't even.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Welp, our WashCaps are solidly in first place. 6pts north of Carolina (NJ is 1 back — but FOUR more games played).

Staying in first is massive. We saw it last year for the Rags. Avoid the 2/3 matchup. It’s a big deal.

Good place to be, but a LOT of hockey to be played.

Cheers to 2025!!

Well done, Darcy.

Well done, Darcy.

I didn’t think he had it in him anymore. This year full of surprises.

How is Laviolette still employed?

Drury knows that teams problems are deeper than the coach and if the coach is canned and results don't improve the blame is squarely on his shoulders.

That’s right…that room is broken and won’t be fixed until they carve out the malcontents. Firing any coach doesn’t change that there might be some a-holes in the room.

New York Rangers predicted to trade for 100 point player in blockbuster move — Sporting News

The New York Rangers are in total freefall. They’re the 27th ranked team in the league, and sit five points out of the playoffs. They’ve lost 15 of their last 20 games, and with superstar goaltender Igor Shesterkin on Injured Reserve, it doesn’t look like that will change any time soon.

“Miller and another Vancouver Canucks player, Elias Pettersson, are allegedly feuding…”

It’s funny, I would usually jump at the chance to acquire a star player for cheap because of dysfunction except we are in first place with everyone having fun so there’s zero chance we add a malcontent.

I’d be after Miller. 8m a yr, 3 more beyond this one.

Has gotten progressively better over his career. Can manage his own line. Is also a C, of we are worried about that.

Mangie and Eller for cap purposes (or Mangie and Milano), with what futures?

Prob be a little stiff in the cost, so maybe too much — but worth looking at?

Protas - Dubois - Wilson
Ovechkin - Strome - Miller
Vrana - McMichael - Miro
Duhaime - Dowd - Raddysh

I'd have been interested in the summer but we already took our big reclamation swing with PLD and it's turned out great. All for a big name add for futures and I do like Miller as a player but I think it has to be a rental.
