For me Russians are a huge no if they have 2+ years of KHL contract still. With the world the way it is now; if the player is any good he’ll get bribed or blackmailed to stay in the KHL.

Incredibly sad

I always wondered what happened to Reino and RORs relationship after his rookie year. He practically stuck around for RORs practices his entire 1st year then suddenly stopped altogether. Perhaps that was him siding with Eichel over the team’s leadership versus ROR. Reino will always strike me as a skilled player and generally good guy but susceptible to following negative paths. He is blossoming in Florida due to the lack of Eichel but more so Kane.

Murray was a solid scout of skill but had zero ability to judge character interactions. He was effectively a computer in that regard

Rookie of the Year Right? Myers Skinner

Woot Woot!

F the Leafs, F the Leafs

Skinner - Thompson - Olofsson JJP? - Cozens - Tuch Krebs - Mitts - Quinn Asplund - Girgs - Okposo UFA targets: Boyle, Hinostroza Trade Options: Hornqvist, Garland (expensive) Muel - Dahlin Power - Jokiharju? Bryson - Pysyk? UFA targets: Letang, Stecher Trade Options: Gudas, DeMelo, Roy, Mayfield, Myers? UPL UFA targets: Fleury, Husso, Holtby Trade Options: Allen, Reimer Maybe we can convince Letang and Fleury to come here together for two years and have fun.

So what exactly happened to Lambert anyway?

Interesting that the only other time we drafted 9OA was along with a 16OA. And exactly 40 years ago.

He also has Lambert at 39.

Never all that interested in Offer sheets, the risk and bad blood it brings outweighs any possible benefit to your franchise Just need to add; our 1st in 2023 should be completely untouchable.

Lou said he didn’t give any credence to anything players said in regards to Trotz’s firing.

No that was Hall

Acquiring his idol; he was a huge fan of Robyn Regehr which is why we acquired him.

Didn't work for Myers all that well. More importantly Karlsson is not anywhere near worth his contract at this point of his career already and has always had defensive short comings. If urns were a couple years younger and more defensively sound I'd be interested in him but alas that is not reality.

To put it simply, both have awful contracts with no real value to our team due to their skill set not giving us anything we need.

He too may have just been good behind a high end team. In my opinion your play behind a bad team is what shows your mental fortitude and ability to steal a game. “Does your goalie have the ability to hold the line when the the team is floundering?” My other major fear with him is the fact that goalies are very hard to get a read on. Some goalies can have good years in a vacuum but be awful in general. Andres Lindback for instance played out of his mind here after lacking a win in Dallas that year. Also just to clarify, Dreidger had a .938 in 12 games and a .927 over 23 starts. He too had struggles in both the AHL and ECHL. I’m just bearish on goalies who play above average of great teams but bad on bad teams. Effectively he shows to be a career backup level goalie. (His 3 playoff starts also left much to be desired) All that being said, goalies are weird and he could blossom into the next Tim Thomas for all we know.

Husso >>> Comrie >>>>>>>>>>> Dreidger in my opinion, Dreidger is really bad. He had one great year with Florida and nothing special otherwise. His game against WPG in game 82 was embarrassingly bad in the goals he gave up including two 5hole goals, a plain one timer and a point shot that floated through him.

The government should of made it legal for medical use all along as it does have legitimate uses. Additionally the material hemp shouldn't of been made into a evil material as it historically was highly useful. As for recreational use I'll always be against it due to its terrible smell. (Not very fond of the cigarette smell either) Both in excess can cause me trouble due to my asthma.

Not at all with Kane, his time in Buffalo was done regardless.

There's a difference between incessant glass banging and in the moment banging. I have zero qualms with the glass being hit when the puck is nearby or after a goal. If you are pounding on the glass while the puck is on the other end of the ice however that's a different story. Just so you understand, I have never pounded on the glass but its literally something that is synonymous with hockey noises. Skates slashing, sticks clashing and boards rocking are all apart of the experience. If there's anything that should come of this; we need to find out why the high end, highly resistant glass meant to absorb the force of 150+ pound men flying into it was snapped in half by a couple drunkards slapping it.

The Kings look more like the Jesters at this point

What's with the huge time between Games 1 & 2?
