The NHL Thread
For the 5 of us who post NHL stuff, here you go. Officially the season starts Tuesday October 11, although there were tw
Oh, Jets, so happy.
Big game tonight.:p Boston-Leafs
this guy's extremely annoying voice aside, he makes good points: hockey achieved perfection in 1992-93. it's a scientific fact!
devils fire lindy ruff and replace him with one of his assistants for "a spark".
wouldn't it be better to find someone outside of the organization for "a spark"? they're 8 points out of the final playoff spot.
idk who is out there and available but just seems like a weird plan imho.
Replacement is interim. Maybe it's a short stint while they find an outsider.
not much you can do in-season. you're not gonna get anyone good without handing out a 3-5 year contract, and yeah who is even available right now? firing ruff is the "spark". probably won't work unless they really hated him glgl
Bill Belichick?

I think I align with this.
Missing Severson and Hamilton has hurt their D pretty bad. Jackie Boy missing a lot of games hurt. Their goaltending hasn’t been good at all, which is at least somewhat related to the D issue, and Timo Meier has not been what they have paid him to be.
None of this likely Lindy’s fault but, they hope for a spark…[emoji2369]

would have thought ray bourque would have been on that list considering he played for the bruins for 100 years or so.

Ah...I was sure I was correct 😃
Dickinson kept up his blistering goal scoring run tonight to help the Blackhawks win as a +240 dog. Ugh Coyotes btw...they are on an even worse run of results than VGK.
Vegas Golden Knights acquire forward Anthony Mantha

The benefit of playing 1000 games together. (I did consider them btw)
I guessed Crosby/Letang. They have to be up there.
lol Sens!
Man the Panthers look scary good
I don’t think Tampa beats them this time. Especially without a healthy Sergachev.
Damn, I was away for like three hours and the trade deadline happened
How long until TSN doesn't bother with a show anymore or the NHL puts in a trade freeze the week before deadline day?
i thought everyone was doing a scaled back show these days because of how anticlimactic trade deadline has become, but looks like tsn is doing 9 hours of coverage and sportsnet is doing 7? wild
good call. how are they not?
also it's been so long i forgot that doughty's alt name was actually brad doty, lol me
(and who could forget king of the west jon swift? just signed on for another year with the rag$)
Vegas so good at scheming system. Stone is the ultimate agent.
