The difference is Lehner complained publicly about the way they play, specifically about Jack being careless with the puck, thinking he's better than he is, etc.. Maybe I'm old school, but when I played, goalies kept their mouths shut and stopped the puck. They're not out there battling in all areas of the ice, so just keep your mouth shut and do your job. If a goalie mouths off, he better stop every damn puck that comes his way. Goalies should just worry about doing their own jobs, like everybody else on the team... you don't hear forwards calling out Lehner when he lets in a soft goal, or gives up 8 of 8 shootout chances. It creates a divide in the lockerroom between player and goaltender.

No. It is actually bowl-you, he said it himself.

I don't like his locker room presence. He calls out his teammates in the media. Anybody who's played hockey knows this is a big no-no for a goaltender.

9 out of 10 players who file for arbitration sign with their club before the hearing.

Kalinin played on world stage with Russia as well. Doesn't mean he can just step right in and play.

I think they'll have a slow start as they learn Dr. Phil's Firewagon Hockey. Lehner will certainly face more odd-man breaks, and b-ways. Probably will be more fun to watch, but the problem is Lehner isn't Pekka Rinne, and that's going to be an issue with the firewagon brand of hockey.

Griffith is an underrated signing.

I just think he's an upgrade over Foligno.

I wonder what happens with Gorges. They just can't throw him on the trash heap, he makes too much and wore an "A". You'd think a young team like Vegas would be a good fit.

Good signing, upgrade over Nillson... let's Ullmark start 65 games in Roch.

Good bottom 6 signing. Upgrade over Foligno.

So is the Pomer deal, they played together there with Taylor and Vanek.

Chris Taylor was also on those teams and some guy named Thomas Vanek.

JBOT and Pomer were teammates in Roch for two seasons.

The word you're looking for is nepotism.

JBOT says he hopes to "make a few more additions tomorrow".... and "Is our defense a finished product? Not at all."

“As soon as they’re done, he’ll have a contract offer,” Sakic said. “We hope to sign him. He’s had a tremendous year. Since the moment we drafted him, four years in college, he’s gotten better every year and he’s obviously hot, the Hobey Baker winner, and hopefully we can sign him and have him be part of the organization.” “I told him (Sakic) I didn’t want an offer yet,” Butcher told The Denver Post. “I wanted to sit with him, talk with him about my year, what they’re thinking, what their philosophy is going to be. My parents are coming in this weekend for the banquet, and I want to talk to my parents before they offer me anything.”

meh don't know enough about him to craft what would normally be a brilliant, enlightened, thought provoking response.

Darcyesque

yeah, he puts words into players mouths... and if the player isn't receptive to his style he goes public with comments made in a private setting.

body language.... Borgen is a guy who plays because he's good at it. Fitzgerald plays because he loves the game. Nobody in their right mind would take on that Bogo contract... not a chance he gets moved.
