Was it Hagel throwing bombs from behind the net directly I front of the ref?

I caught part of the lightning radio broadcast for this. Phil Esposito sounds like Grampa Simpson doing color commentary. Its hilarious.

I always wonder how close these guys ties are to their hometowns. We’re talking about a guy who was off playing hockey in Ann Arbor by the time he’s 15 or 16.

Schenn and Bunting have one more year left and Novak has two. I was thinking maybe one team would be trying to add an expiring contract, but it looks like that’s not the case. A very odd deal for two bottom feeders.

Actual season ending surgery, or "hey, just in time for LTIR" surgery? I haven't paid much attention to what he's been dealing with.

Let's not forget that another team tanked the following season. Success is, of course, subjective, but tanking does not guarantee perpetual failure.

And for once they're not replacing an established NHL player with yet another 20 year old fresh off the farm.

There’s also that certain kind of player who believes he’s a guy who can make a difference. Whether or not he’s that kk d of guy, I don’t know, but that’s a great asset to have on a team if you can find it.

I think it’s this:

I pulled this from a TSN story on that Boston trade: “The New Jersey Devils have received Shane LaChance from Edmonton for facilitating the deal, retaining 50 per cent of Frederic's salary. LaChance, who remains at Harvard University, was selected by the Oilers in the sixth round of the 2021 draft.” Im sure it’ll be corrected by the time many click that link, but I’m amazed that they would screw that up. He’s Jack Parker’s grandson and there was only one school he’d be going to.

And Johnson is just turning 37 this month. So if it fails once, just try someone even older.

It should be interesting to sit and watch the other Florida team pull the LTIR game this year.

That’s an offseason move. They’re not finding that return this week.

It’s probably because he was traded to Buffalo twice and also signed with the rags twice.

6 teams is only halfway to Sillinger.

Ii wouldn’t expect any owner to want to pay up for that small of a return.

So wait, the Sabres getting fleeced every year at the deadline is a thing g now? I know we like to complain, but do we have to make stuff up too? I can’t wait until April and the annual injury due to haphazard dog walking.

But around here we love people who have been out of the NHL for a very long time… coughTEDNOLANcough

Politics talk lasts for multiple weeks but Gene Hackman dies and it's locked within hours. What the hell is going on with this place? I don't typically like mentioning this stuff, but this one I just don't understand.

If there’s no crime the most likely would probably be gas leak or carbon monoxide.

@SDS, why is this still here?

That Dundon stuff probably sheds a little light on some of the chatter about them possibly having to move Rantanen. The people they add keep on leaving right away.

Get a room?

He returned here as a UFA this past offseason, so yeah, he had his chance to move on somewhere.

They’re not listening
