Out of Town Thread - New Year's Edition!

true but it's a fine line; if PLD signs in Montreal, the NHL may look back and see if they can prove Brisson and Hughes had a handshake deal for PLD while he was under contract with the jets

There's absolutely no way Hughes is tampering. Absolute Jets fantasy.

It's entirely possible that Hughes talked to his agent while he was a RFA to get an understanding of contract demands, which is allowed. But once PLD signed his QO, everything coming out has been by his agent.

The NHL will do nothing.

If nothing happened for Panarin.. it won't happen here. And even if the do prove it, it won't be in 2023 lol

The NHL will look the other way. They owe us for the John Scott mess

Yup all he did vs Xhekaj is grab and hold for his life.

Mackinnon is something else. To be able to make a pass while getting hit and going down is nuts. Also great to see Leky scoring. He showed a lot of promise his rookie year as a scorer. I can easily see him being a 20-30 goal guy with the Avs.

Lehky is doing exactly what I said he would do on that club. Not being a natural goal scorer if he pots 25 you just know he's been involved in a ton of high quality chances. Too bad we never had the top end talent to bring the best out of this player. None the less he did remain a favorite with a fair portion of our fan base. At least the fans that understood he was consistently helping create more chances than many of our so called stars.

Tampa downs the pretender Bruins 3-2

Bruins lose to TB. That would be an interesting 2nd round series. Don't think Bruins win it.

Anaheim getting outshot 22-10 by Avs. They're only losing 2-1 though.

Somehow, Chicago has a 2-1 lead on Flames, and Coyotes a 1-0 lead over Blues.

I really wonder if the Bruins are a case of peaking at the wrong time. It wouldn't surprise me if they have a playoff run like the 2019 Lightning.

Definitely possible but I do think Boston is too well coached and their vets have the right amount of leadership to mitigate the risk. At worse, they should get through round 1. However, like the maestro says, anything can happen.

Columbus pulling their goalie with 4:20 left in the 3rd period while losing 5-1.

That’s how you tank baby!

Mikheyev has played the whole season with a torn ACL and still managed a 0.5 PPG. Why did they play him in a lost season...

 

[Frank Drebin]

I was looking at the Bruins trade history because they amaze me how many good players and picks they've traded away and are still a powerhouse. How they flubbed on the 2015 draft and missed out on Connor, Chabot, Barzal.

Traded away Seguin, Smith, Hamilton.

One lesser talked about move by the Bruins from 2015:

Boston flipped the 135th overall pick in 2015 to Minnesota for a 5th round pick in 2016. With that pick, they selected Cameron Clarke, a career minor leaguer.

Selected at 135 OA with Bostons pick, Kirill Kaprizov.

Big game between Buffalo and Minnesota. Buffalo needs 2 point for a wild card spot and Minnesota only needs 1. Be best for à Buffalo OT win.

Already 5-1 Oilers in the 2nd vs Chicago

McDavid with a glitch goal


Kulak with a fight


Edit: Watching the game on Sportsnet… you guys get Katy Perry for SKIP commercials while we get Patrick Groulx?

How did we not pick up Tolvanen when he was on waivers???

We have too many good wingers

 

[26Mats]

We have too many good wingers

That and, you know, we have to play Dadonov a lot because there's a slim chance we might be able to trade him for a 7th round pick at the TDL, if he starts to produce. So no room for Tolvanen, because we have to play Dadonov a lot.

Matt Berlin, emergency backup goalie for the Oilers (think Ayres-ish emergency, not Beck emergency), a local guy (UAlberta player), finishes the game in front of the net (Campbell is fine)
