Out of Town Thread - New Year’s 2025 Edition

On a side note...how catastrophic is the Sens since Tkachuk lost his best friend? Anybody knows? loll

Maybe we should trade Mesar to turn Slaf into a PPG monster?

 

[Whitesnake]

7 wins in a row...

I can't believe it. I've been told that it would play on the team's morale...

Colorado vs Dallas starting now. Rantanen's return to Colorado and probably a first round preview. Should be a good one.

Samsonov hot garbage 🗑

Good pace, as expected. Stars with a beauty tic tac toe, Necas responds with a beauty PP tipin

No. You are comparing apples to oranges.

This trade does not pull the rug from under the team. It is designed to enhance the team's quest for the playoffs, and not to get in the way of it.

The Leafs trading a first for Laughton to be a worse-than-replacement-level bottom 6 guy who can't really handle playing center, the position he was acquired to play, is hilarious.

Him being on the Laffs is a propos

Thinking about it, it's funny how the Avalanche traded away their goalie tandem, yet the Oilers are unable to find a good goalie and are still doubling down on Stuart Skinner.​

That was an awful trade the minute it was made. It's their Dvorak trade. Lol

Oilers cap problems

I love seeing the Rangers blow their season and become so dysfunctional. 3-1 Oilers.

panthers blow 2 goal lead - losing 3-2 to the isles

Florida fading fast. Could miss the playoffs. Lose to a one line team and then to a pile of shat.

well, off to read the panthers' board, which should provide more entertainment given the condescending little bitches their fanbase is

The Leafs will forever remain the team that 9/10 times they trade or acquire someone you think 'wow that would've been a good pick up 3+ years ago when the player was good.'

What a comeback by the Isles in the third after being down 2-0.. Out shot the Panthers 34-20. At least, the blueshirts lost tonight! More help will be needed for the Habitants to make the playoffs. There is buzz in the air!!!!

 

[sampollock]

figs blow another 1st round pick and got?????? lol

My comment was directed to people who were saying that it was a problem to deal best friends on teams....People should just realize that pros are just that pros...and it's not the first time that they lose friends. It's part of the job. And if the team gets the better player, they will succeed.

It’s not black and white like you state it, they’re pros, not robots. If you trade players but break chemistry you won’t get the desired effect.

That said HuGo never said “won’t trade friends” that’s how some posters summarized it here.
