NHL Summer 2023 Preseason - Mike Babcock Resigns as HC of CBJ

[Grimey]

Smarts and speed and quickness better than rotting slow corpses like JVR and Lucic, and Shattenkirk.

You just described Jesper Boqvist

so disgusting, the guy has a history of being incapable of being respectful to players , let alone kids whose parents watch their young sons moving to small towns to be under the watch of coaches, billet families etc...ugg

Well , if those parents are doing their job they'll send their kids elsewhere. No way am I sending my child out to play with a coach who has a history like his. Apparently he is familiar with the GM , the GM must be thought that just because you're buddy, buddy here, it doesn't excuse what's gone down. This isn't hear say, these are facts . Haven't seen all the contrition one would like to see. Kind of on the same level as Miller.

 

[JOKER 192]

With guys like Peters, Vanbiesbrouck, Mitchell Miller, etc. is there any path to redemption or are they to be banned from work forever because of the sins they've done in the past?

Contrition, it's all about contrition . It needs to be sincere, apologies should have come way before you're signing any contracts. When you apologize just before or after you sign a contract it doesn't come off as overly sincere , it comes off as self-serving . Mama used to say, a wolf sheds it's fur but not it's habits. He comes off as a wolf to me.

I've only watched the off-season happenings from afar, but Toronto is looking legit in the Atlantic. The Bruins won't be nearly as formidable and Tampa is a year older. Plus, Matthews and Keefe were extended well before opening night; so no media circus like we've seen in the past.

( SIGH ) If you had access to TSN and Sportsnet you would realize that the media circus surrounding the Leafs never stops.

Oh you sweet sweet summer child…

Tomorrow’s Globe:

Is Khudobin all done?​

Absent a PTO offer, it looks like ex-Bruins netminder Anton Khudobin won’t be seen in an NHL camp for the first time in some 15 years.

Khudobin, 37, was dealt from Dallas to Chicago at the March trade deadline and lost his one start with the Blackhawks. The ex-Wild draft pick (No. 206, 2004) finished with a good late kick to the pay window, securing a three-year/$10 million deal with the Stars off of his strong work in the 2020 postseason bubble that helped deliver Dallas to the Cup Final against the Lightning.

He ultimately lost his job in Dallas to ex-BU goalie Jake Oettinger and went a lackluster 15-15-8 with the Stars over the course of that $10 million deal. For his career, Khudobin played in 27 playoff games, all but two in that 2020 playoff run in which he went 14-10.

“Goaltending . . . sometimes you are on top of the horse,” a realistic Khudobin once said during his time in Boston. “And sometimes you’re under it.”

Kayla McAvoy, a.k.a. Charlie McAvoy’s kid sister, landed a new gig with the Rangers as assistant sports scientist. Over a stretch of seven years at Queens College in Flushing, N.Y., she earned her undergraduate degree in nutrition and exercise science and then a master’s in exercise physiology. Growing up on Long Island, the McAvoy clan was all about the Broadway Blueshirts . . . The Rangers also named ex-Harvard defensemen and four-time US Olympic medalist Angela Ruggiero as a hockey operations adviser.

Baseball is also easier to get into just need a ball bat and a field.

Would it surprise you if boqvist worked his way into the top six?

As a child I played ball 3 times a day in the summer , Morning , afternoon and Evening . It was very rare that we had anything close to 18 players.

Never mattered to us.

We always played road hockey. Now kids play home work and Xbox.

Don't get me started . More of the latter than the former.

Road hockey went from October until June but summer time when school was out it was Baseball 3 times a day every day. No way you could throw or hit a ball I couldn't field without you putting it over my head . Sadly we lost our team up here and with it went all interest in Baseball. We still have baseball fields , sometimes I wonder why, there is hardly ever anyone playing in them . That is the consequence of not having a MLB team.

“Jimmy Muphy of Boston Hockey Now delved into the complexities of navigating the Pettersson situation for the Bruins, particularly in light of the potential availability of Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames. Murphy suggested that the Bruins were watching the situations surrounding both players, even if the team goes into the season with the roster it has”

Ok

ridiculous contract for that Sens Dman.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

ridiculous contract for that Sens Dman.

Wow that's early. Has he even played an entire season?

Still, Sanderson is likely gonna be a steal at that number honestly. He's really God damn good.

Should of won the Calder. Seriously a rookie D-man who played in their top shutdown role and had just FOUR minor penalties all season if you toss out the 2 phantom high stick calls. That's incredible when you consider how many high-event defensive situations he would encounter in that role over the course of the season. This may be high praise but their is some Nick Lidstrom there in Sanderson's game. That deal will be a steal when its all said and done.

 

[KrejciMVP]

clearly he paid his dues, and he's worth more than Hedman lol. No way he comes close to living up to those expectations this soon while learning the NHL game

 

[SPLBRUIN]

He's a very good young player, his upside is comparable to McAvoy without the physicality.

That and baseball sucks.
