Keep playing hard!!

Stoner!!

That's wild.

He kicked it.

0-11-1 when trailing after 2. Yikes.

What message? Dube goes after him. Take instigators on both clean hits?

Pay attn when Trouba's on the ice, stop fighting on clean hits.

Clean hits.

I REALLY like Chytil and wish we could get him. Best 3C in the league stuck from moving up.

Same. Now he's just a league cheerleader.

Hrudey's an effing league puppet. Can we have Cassie back? He's such a toothless dork that just agrees with refs. Can't stand him. He has zero opinion, just what they say is right. Must be in his contract. Hate him.

Well if that doesn't fire Lucic up...

Good game. Pretty intense.

Anybody would. It's just horrendous giveaways.

Gotta get Lucic out of the lineup. The turnovers are huge danger. He's terrible in the D zone.

Did Ken King carry a lot of influence regarding the reaction to the city's snuffing CalgaryNext? I guess I'm asking if they'll all be adulting now? It's been a pretty miserable drama of he said/she said up until recent talks.

So I might see Vladar in action in Detroit?😬 Yzerman jersey and Flames toque. My Stevie jersey is a gift from @Carty so I think that one wins. Should be fun. Making a wkend of it. ALWAYS a great time in the D. But let's bury NY first. Gotta get rolling!

Totally agree. Horvat sets the bar, as will Larkin. Definitely $8.5 x 8 range. Need to see where the cap is headed. He's worth it with a decent cap jump. It'll be the going rate and might as well do it early before that rate gets bigger. We're never going to like the rates, but those are the rates. Yzerman bargains as hard as BT does, so Larkin will definitely set the tone. It's going to be $8.5 x 8, so get used to that number. That is Lindholm's value, like it or not.

Well damn.It turns out Ottawa is exceptional defensively, goaltending and on the forecheck. F/O were even, shots were even 4-3 Ottawa. Missed an open net late. Sarnia struggled with both zone entries and getting in hot on the forecheck was their downfall. They played pretty tentative. As for Beck, there are no worries. He has moved to LW fulltime due to TDL acquisitions so the timeline makes sense to his points coming down. He's noticeable every shift and effective on the left side PP. Distributes the puck well, 2 1st assists. Had 2 high danger scoring chances. Just missed on a wrister top-shelf with little to shoot at. He was good defensively and back-checked aggressively. A couple goals Gaudreau would want back, that's usual. A penalty shot turned out to be the winner. Great game but Sarnia couldn't afford to be so flat for most of the 2nd period. Brady Stonehouse from Ottawa is worth keeping an eye on. Undrafted last year, will be drafted this year. Annoying af in the Tkachuk mold. He had the PS winner and was being Tkachuk-annoying all game. He's worth a later round swing as a 19yo this year.

lol. Where are you in Goon? A player? My buddy lived in Canmore for awhile filming Mystery, Alaska as a teammate of Russell Crowe's. I went partying with them one night, Captain Tractor was playing at a pub I've forgotten the name of, English, like maybe the Rose & Crown which I know is there but maybe not in '95ish. By 11pm, I had my buddy outside for a smoke to talk him down from kicking the Satoshi Nakamoto out of Russell Crowe, who looked nothing like the gladiator, and was as arrogant af. But the chicks dug the accent.lol I engaged him a few times to try to get him over himself, but he's an airhead. Honestly, I can't watch one of his movies without thinking about how self-absorbed he is. Like dude, "go Blockchain yourself" is the literal level. His mirror must get a proper rogering regularly.lol Who hires this guy is the frightening part.

I doubt Duehr stays in the A much longer. I highly doubt Pelletier is going back, it was a paper move. He won't play because it's injury risk imo. He looks great with the Flames, pretty sure he's up to stay. Zary interests me now. If it were up to you, would you call him up now or let him ferment? I always worry about injury risk with young players moving up. Try too hard leading to injury and major setback. I think that's a thing.

Do you see NHL potential in Phillips? I can't help but doubt it, If he looks like a threat, he'll draw attention and the NHL is so much higher level of everything from the A. Do you think that he can find space? Gaudreau likely has the best feet in the league as a skater. Is Phillips anywhere close to that? I'd say JG's elite edgework and vision is his staying power for a small player. What is Phillips' staying power?

This play looks like an NHLer in the AHL.

MLB players actually care abou the home run derby. NBA players actually care about the slam dunk competition. There is nothing the NHL players care about. Target shooting, hardest shot maybe, but it's nowhere near the same level.

How on earth does the all-star weekend get fixed? The parody that is the skills competition is in serious need of sketch-writers. The whole breakaway thing is god awful. Does anybody laugh? It's so bad. Just go back to trick shots or something. It's so gaudy and cringe. Do all charmed-life people have senses of humour that are about as interesting as canned bread? Holy unwatchable. Hardest commentator job in sports: Make this interesting. Hire pro comedians to commentate. It's trying to be a circus or a carnival, not sure which one because it fails so hard. "It's for kids". Okay, whose 9yo understands Miami Vice references? It's so bad on so many levels. Are they actually serious thinking this is remotely entertaining for anyone? It even fails at parody, now that's saying something.
