rocketdoctor Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 NHL Live had me fooled. There was no listing for game 6 so I assumed Rags had won the series and did not bother with the game only to get a supriuse when hitting the main NHL.com page! Can the Canes push it to a game 7?

They’ve been getting better, with more input from TDL acquisitions. One game at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conundrumed Posted May 15 Author Report Share Posted May 15 How did Seattle let Geekie walk? I'm so confused. I've seen a lot of Boston this year, and that kid’s a player. I just don't get it. $2mil per for 2 years Boston snapped him up for, including next year. Not understanding you, Seattle. wtf?? He's a great player.

rocketdoctor Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 close game 6. Got no-one left to cheer for in the East. Rags - definitely not and I jsut don't like the panthers. Although Maurice is certainly entertaining in his pressers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cberg Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 Listening to some of the recent Tkachuk interviews I am impressed and surprised with his maturity and leadership. I believe he really wanted to be Captain here but was put down by management which likely loomed large as to why he decided to not re-sign. His play with Florida is impressive, and it is saddening that he is just the type of guy we’ll be looking to obtain, and ironic we had him here and let him get away. Florida literally crushed the NYR and if they keep it up it’ll be a short series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420since1974 Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 While I feel that while the captaincy issue was probably part of why Tkachuk moved on, I highly doubt that it was a major reason. I would bet that it was mainly a desire to play for a more competitive team in the sunbelt with no state taxes. Only the Lightning, Panthers, and Stars met those requirements at the time.

I think Carolina, STL and Vegas were on the list too. I think there was smoke a year before. There was that STL based podcast that suggested Tkachuk wanted a trade. The Flames shut that down publicly. Obviously there was something there. Some media believe that if Gaudreau stayed, Tkachuk would have signed, probably shorter term. Others have stated they believe he was gone regardless. The mistake was the 3yr contract. It was reported Tkachuk would do 6yrs, but the Flames couldn't afford it as they still had Frolik. Tkachuk still probably leaves after that six years though. 53 minutes ago, cberg said: Listening to some of the recent Tkachuk interviews I am impressed and surprised with his maturity and leadership.

He could have been an Iginla type figure here. But he opted for sunshine. I don't think he sweats the captaincy. He will never be the captain of the Panther.

420since1974 Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I heard the same rumours about potential trades to Carolina, St. Louis, and Vegas, but the first two charge personal income taxes. Only the states of Florida, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington do not. I agree that Tkachuk probably does not care much about being a captain. I feel fairly sure that money and winning are his top two priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can add to this conversation is the entire arrogant and condescending Tkachuk clan can go Blockchain themselves. That "Big Walt" thing is insulting to Walt Tkachuk(ka-chook). For those old enough to have seen him play. FF52 should be here to shred Keith. I'll carry that flame. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberg Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Agree that they are annoying, but still have great leadership skills and essential qualities needed to win. It’s my impression that Calgary has tried to maintain a “gentlemanly” approach and avoided controversial players, which has hindered success. It sounds good but, rarer than rare, unless you get a fist full of Sidney Crosby types-both in skills and demeanour you won’t be successful.

"What, you wanna see a real steal?" - Shesterkin probably Great G battle in that series. 5-4 is kinda ludicrous for how good thet've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 If the Rangers were missing Shesterkin, this series would be a sweep and the score last night would have been 10-2 for the Panthers. He's been unreal. Glad the Panther won though, I still have a spot spot for Bennett and would love to see him raise the cup. Lomberg as well.

Shesterkin has been good, though I wouldn’t say spectacular. Seems like Florida is reluctant to shoot high, and he can butterfly/lay down and close off the ice level. Florida certainly has controlled most of the past two games and I was glad they got the win last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kept moving him around the lineup and never let him develop properly. We always gave priority to Backlund and Monahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
