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
Oilers place Calvin Pickard on waivers I'll be shocked if no one claims him . Frick right now the Leafs should
Wow another win and we held Mcdavid and drai off the scoresheet?.😮
Nice to see Maccelli rolling finally.
Panarin to the Kings.
Wow. And here I thought
was gonna be the big news of the day
Seems like Rangers got an underwhelming return and Panarin used his NMC to secure the bag in a glam location rather than force a trade to a contender. Columnist types gonna have a field day with this.
thought breadman was kinda washed, but i guess not quite yet. still don't think i'd be too interested in signing him long-term due to age. price maybe indicates that all parties agree this is just a rental for the kangz(?)
Wow. And here I thought
was gonna be the big news of the daywho knew college can fight ..... learn something new every day
ghana b mad if this somehow costs the canucks ivar stenberg
Nah they signed him for 2×11. Keeping the teem down, seems ok.
yeah, short term is def the way to go. guess price was determined by his no-move then
also guess he didn't much enjoy his time in cbus lol
wonder how many guys have played for the 'hawks, rag$ and kangz...

Went to VGK game last night and sat near 3 Nucks fans with bags over their heads.
LA 4 points behind Edmonton and 3 games in hand
Playoff race gonna be tight
Val Kilmer plays Oglethorpe in the shortlived 1979 Slap Shot TV series?

Didn't give up much, but doubt it really makes a difference to Cup chances.
Only found 2 played more than 100 games for all 3
Bernie Nichols
Gillies Marotte
Then guys like
Jack Johnson
Carcillo
Olczyk
didn't remember bernie nicholls playing for the 'hawks, let alone 100+ games
also played 100+ for the sharks
narrowly missed doing it with the oilers (95 games) and devils (84) too, which would have made it 6 teams
crazy
Finally saw the Leon interview were he trashed the Oilers management down and he was so right.
Funny thing is we all talk about how bad the Leafs are but yet they have one less point than the Oilers
TSN was harsh on them as well calling the goaltending garbage
Seth Jarvis to the Olympic team how you do not pick Zach Hyman
Or Bedard
Has Bedard been that impressive since he’s been back from injury? Seth Jarvis is good on the PK and he was on the 4 Nations team.
SJ has ringed a dinged Toronto and told them they are interested in Morgan Reilly whenever he is available.
Zharovsky’s rise
Alexander Zharovsky has been the revelation of the 2025 class. It’s not normal for an 18-year-old to step into the KHL and produce offense the way he has this season. His skill level and ability to make plays at pace are high-end. He’s a good enough skater and competitor to project currently as a top-six scoring forward who can run a power play. His skill level stood out as a junior in his draft season, but the way it has seamlessly transitioned to pro hockey has Zharovsky looking like a premium prospect as opposed to the high second-round pick he was six months ago. Here’s how I would currently order... the 2025 draft:
Matthew Schaefer, LHD
Michael Misa, C
James Hagens, C
Roger McQueen, C
Porter Martone, RW
Kashawn Aitcheson, LHD
Jake O’Brien, C
Alexander Zharovsky, C
Ben Kindel, C
Joshua Ravensbergen, G
Athletic, Corey Pronman
Jumped in on some Slovakia ml
Slaf FTW
Slaf oracle!
Most goals of any active NHL player in the Olympics
Slaf - 9
Ovy - 8
Cros - 5

Habs Cup competing window opens next season. Stars everywhere. Just need to find a goalie.
