Who knows Tage Thompson might be a beast, too. Lol

He has to sign a goalie that can play if Hutton can’t, period. Aside from that I don’t know what to do, spend a lot and have three goalies? That doesn’t sound good. Waive Hutton?

A goaltender. I don’t trust Carter Hutton’s eyes. Getting Joki was a good move

This is great 👍

They are the only team left that doesn’t have a very good defense. They lay great team defense, but their defense isn’t a great unit.

Salary cap relief, I guess

Happy birthday my man! Hope you have a great day! 🙂

The thought that we have good prospects in our organization and have not traded, or just given them away, makes me angry. We can get rid our young talent if we try. It will takes years for many of them to play in NHL. Who wants to wait? Trade or just release them! Anything! We could get bags of pucks back. Right? Look at all those players out there that played in the playoffs this year. Good thing we threw those players away, like Braydon McNabb, so happy he is gone.

Wow, Tampa is clutch

44 year old goalie? Did I hear that right?

Islanders well play better

Love both these teams. Just wanting to watch some good hockey here.

We did have Brayden McNabb and just gave him away. Criminal, just criminal

So Who is the power behind the throne? Is this Ralph’s team now? Adams just a yes man there to Kruger?

What is Casey good at? Not fast, doesn’t hit..yet..not a great shooter. He’s a good passer, right? Maybe he should concentrate on being the PP guy in Rochester. Just trying to picture where he fits. Not a super forechecker. What role does anyone see him filling, assuming he improves and makes the Sabres

Let’s go Islanders! Game 7. Just shows how quickly teams can turn things around. How did the Flyers get this good?

50 miles! Wow

That was a sick goal by Barzell

We are going to have to sign another goalie. No way we start the season trusting Hutton’s eyes

Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said he was willing to spend to get a backup goaltender, one of the top priorities on his off-season to-do list. Turns out, it didn’t cost much to acquire Jake Allen, who can capably spell Carey Price to ensure Montreal’s $10 million man gets the proper res. Just a third-round pick – the one acquired from Washington for Ilya Kovalchuk, essentially found money anyway with his January signing – and some of the Canadiens’ ample cap space. It was a win-win-win for Bergevin. Allen may just be the best backup in the NHL next season, in what figures to be an uncertain year with a condensed schedule chock full of back-to-back grinds and more slates of three games across four nights. He finished fourth in the league in save percentage this season among netminders with a minimum of 20 appearances. Yes, the Habs might be spending $4 million more on goaltending than any other team next season, but Allen’s expensive deal has just one year on it and expires before Montreal runs into any sort of cap crunch. Plus, the Blues moving Allen and his $4.35 million salary cap hit just happened to increase the cap space and chances St. Louis could afford to re-sign captain Alex Pietrangelo, which lessens the chance a Canadiens’ division rival like Toronto might be able to take a run at him in free agency. “We’d love to get Alex signed,” Blues GM Doug Armstrong said Wednesday. “At the end of the day, it’s a math equation.” So too is the NHL’s annual game of goaltending musical chairs. Allen became the first goalie domino to fall in an off-season unlike any other for the position. It’s going to be a wild ride. “I understand the business side of it very well and I knew coming into this off-season after being eliminated that there was a chance I was going to be traded,” Allen said. “I didn’t really have an idea where or when, that kind of came out of the blue for me. I definitely knew that I was potentially going to be dealt.” The Canadiens and Blues are a rarity in NHL circles. With Price and Allen in Montreal, and Jordan Binnington and Ville Husso in St. Louis, they are two teams who have now firmed up their tandem. https://www.tsn.ca/jake-allen-trade-hits-play-on-nhl-s-goalie-musical-chairs-1.1518384

Who the heck would trade for Hutton? He has an eye issue

Claude Gireaux (sic) has been invisible in the playoffs. Five assists, no goals. So almost invisible

So tough to sit back and rest!

168 at 6’2” is thin!
