All Activity

It's not like that was the only source of that information in the past. And Puckpedia likely won't have a monopoly on that data either in the future. (Not sure what else is out there. Primarily used Puckpedia but went to CapFriendly if the answer to a Q wasn't readily obvious at PP.)

Regardless, my bet is that the ASL play by play is much faster and more coherent than whatever Dunleavy offers up.

No data. Thus the "(d)idn't watch it or even know about it before it happened, but THAT is innovative" part of the post. 😉 Also, though am just outside Ra-cha-cha, which is still kind of a hub for the deaf community, had not known what the differences are between ASL and say the "Rochester Method" or other sign languages. (Knew Ra-cha-cha had its own thing going for a time. Never really learned much about it (still haven't). (Add one more item to the seemingly endless "to-do someday" list.))

All those players are 3-5yrs away.

What the balls is this NHL??

I wonder what the ASL signs though. It can't be the names (other than maybe goals) because of how long they take to spell out, so are they just describing the action that you can already see? Or telling stories about the players? 🙂

Capfriendly is an incredibly useful tool (accurate and quickly updated, too) and I will miss it. If I wanted to know if X was still an RFA at the end of this contract, or if Y had a NMC, or what Z's cap hit vs. this season's salary was... I could find the information myself in a few clicks, rather than waiting for some "hockey insider" or a reporter to tell me, particularly since they're just going to capfriendly anyway. But I really just wanted to post that the Washington "Capfriendlies" doesn't have the same ring.

Man, I’ve been able to scroll past you all day, but this one right here. Wow. 🤌

Now that I’m streaming games I feel like our broadcast crew could be so much worse. I could not listen to the broadcasters in Boston (not just because Boston) they made me actually cringe several times and the 1 older guy sounded like he couldn’t care less a game was being played in front of his eyes.

They both have their place.

While I totally agree with you, who is listening to the local radio station as their primary source of the broadcast in 2024? Maybe for 15 min in the car on a random night? Most people just check their yahoo/espn app for a score update when they’re not home. I haven’t seen Nielsen ratings, but they most be very low. I get it, most of the rest of the league still has two broadcast teams—one for tv and one for radio…so why shouldn’t we also have that? But in reality, it doesn’t make a whole lot of financial sense to invest money in a radio only broadcast team. It is a dying entity (and this is coming from someone who worked in radio).

I get it, I do. But if I have to eat orange marmalade to flavor up my dry toast, I prefer that to the ***** sandwich that is a handful of Pierre McGuires blubbering about the big-body-big-stick of the best player of his birth-year-month. Hell, I would take Jack Edwards over that *****, and I hate Jack Edwards.

So, who's got the old spiral notebooks? I got pens and pencils. We'll need 32 different colored highlighters, a 12' x 8' white board with 4 erasers, a verbally well off articulate phone voice to call the teams for verification, 10 bottles of patron with 5 buckets of margarita mix and a DIY website. I'm leaning towards "PA's Puck Palooza" as the site name.

I like Greentree, but he seems a bit of a stretch at 11 overall. In addition, this draft has a stronger crop of right handed defensemen and centers that we could use after moving Middelstadt.

Rayzor is a bit of orange marmalade. Most folks want strawberry jam.

I'm not offended, but I want to see an alternative rather than just a critique.

Exactly, and who are the best two guys to come out of Rochester lately, Peterka and Quinn. Letting Peca go rather than promoting him was a big mistake.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/mock-draft-1-0-predicting-where-they-go-after-the-sharks-take-celebrini/ A lot of mocks have Catton falling to 11.

You don't know Jack.

Joshua is simultaneously one of the most attractive and most frightening free agents on the market.

The draft is kinda looking like it has 5 or 6 D that could have been the 1st D taken in last year’s draft. One of them will slide. It’s hard to tell who is the Adam Boqvist and who is the Quinn Hughes in terms if the hit and the miss out of the pack. Dickinson and Levshunov like the size-skill prototype all-rounders. Buium is the processor and Parekh the offensive dynamo - each has put up rare numbers. And Silayev is a unicorn physically, plus he can skate and has attitude. Yakemchuk has more holes, IMO, but he’s got edge and tools and production. At least one will be available at 11 due to franchise needs and instantly become our best prospect on defence.

Is Sam Bennett a UFA? Ekholm? I'd target them, Marshessault, Stamkos, Kaner and heavily explore the trade market I still would like a quality veteran goalie as well.
