At least they’ll have lots of time scout Laval, maybe get Komorov & Prow back, and hopefully Levi stays hot. Game story from tonight: https://pickinsplinters.com/2025/05/01/levi-jobst-come-up-big-as-amerks-complete-the-sweep/ “I gotta give credit to our D-corps,” coach Michael Leone said. “Syracuse is a big, heavy team, I’ve heard all about it, but our guys gave up no goals in two games. Yeah, it’s the goalie for sure, credit to Dev, he got the game puck today, but there’s five other guys out there that are making it really hard on the other team.”

S##ty Sabres defense.

Except in the NHL where he allows 4+ goals a game and has gotten progressively worse each year The Crunch got Crunched.

Kid has shown he'll have a few stinkers but also incredibly good at shutouts

Levi just has a habit of shutouts. 8 in 37 junior games 16 in 66 college games 3 in 7 World Junior games 9 in 45 AHL games this year. That's insane.

Crunch led 2-0 after one period of game 1. Since then, Levi pitched a 156-minute shutout and the Amerks scored 11 straight. Onto Laval, probably.

Helenuis has 3 points in 3 playoff games. Kid is a player

Warren ENG!! 4-0!!!

I’ve got an old hat on. If Jobst gets one more, I’m leaving on the ice in Syracuse.

Jobst #2! 3-0!! The Crunch are being let down by goaltending. They were playing a good game.

Clague!! 2-0 Amerks.

How do you know what he wants to get paid and why do you think someone will pay him that? His numbers away from Dahlin are similar to awful young players like Jake Sanderson and Moritz Seider. And if you really believe defencemen never get better after 246 NHL games, or after they turn 23 — or that NHL professionals don't thoroughly scout the players they acquire before pulling the trigger — I don't know what to tell you.

If a sellout is 6600, I bet they’ve got 5,200. A ton of Amerks fans are here though…they’ve got the Lee-Vi and Let’s Go Amerks chants going.

You're seeing a great game. How many would you say are in the building?

Jobst breakaway, 1-0 ROC. Levi outstanding.

He wants to get paid like a top line guy but is not a top line guy and will never be a top line guy (the fact that his numbers are awful when not paired with Dahlin pretty much prove this). Trading him to fix a roster hole before everyone else in the league catches onto this fact is such an obvious move.

Didn’t they spend to the cap every year right up to the purge of 2021? Or am I misremembering that?

Yep, especially when you’re paying $7M to Samuelsson and Clifton. That’s where the roster construction flaw is, not with Byram. That’s what I hope they can target.

Yeah, doing a little research and a quick conversation leads to the position that things have changed dramatically in the last 15 years. I was told Florida made about $25m from their Cup run. I was mistaken.

Just play the Mobland theme song... "It may feel bad It may feel bad It may feel bad I wanna see you alone, I wanna sharp the stone I wanna bounce the bone, I wanna mess with it I wanna lay the deville, the whole crew on the sill I want the preacher and pill, I wanna bless with it I wanna head to a mass and get cast in it That sh*t's funnier than any A-class, in' it? I wanna talk with the clown who has apologies down Pay him 300 pound to take a class in it I wanna bite the phone, I wanna bleed the tone I wanna see you alone, alone, alone, 'lone I wanna strait the shark and find me somewhere to park. Like the light when it's dark, it's dark, it's dark, dark A few stars about make it feel like peace in a way A complimentary round Constellation got a twist in it For a GPO and all the hits in it I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary blissness I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary blissness I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary blissness I'm gon' hit your business if it's momentary" https://youtu.be/2fkd2Lco3nY?si=ridEe0HPf-n8GkWY

All players take a pay cut to play in the post season. They get bonus money based upon how far they make it in the playoffs (losers of round 1 get significantly less than those that get to hoist Lord Stanley's Chalice). Want to say how much they end up getting is determined by overall playoff revenue but it's been a long time since looking at that portion of the CBA; could be off on that.

“NHL teams also pocket 65% of postseason revenue, which is significantly higher than the other leagues. Based on the other streams of revenue, they need a high percentage in order to make money.” https://thehockeywriters.com/how-do-nhl-teams-make-money/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Face value of Stanley Cup Finals in EDM last year was over $500/ea. That’s $9m in ticket revenue alone. Per game. Not including parking and HRR. I can’t imagine the cost to host is more than $1m per game.
