While the deal was largely brokered by Charles Wang, Snow had been the GM for three months the day DiPietro signed his giant extension.

DeBrincat was the only bright spot of this injury prone season. Bring on Dahlin to save us from lovely defense.

For the record the Hawks winning the draft lottery should be grounds to disband the league

I just updated my personal database (ie. an .ods file) of top 5 scorers for each team, and noticed that Buffalo had exact same five scorers in exact same order as last year. This is highly rare. This may not interest anyone, also, but there you have it.

Its not like they could afford him once his ELC ended what with all that money locked up on old bad players like Seabrook. :negative:

What was he going to say? "If I didn't compulsively trade star defensemen away, we would have less losses?"

If "attitude" is the best he can come up with, he probably doesn't have long.

You know Molson has already come out and publicly backed Bergie, right?

Jeff Blashill will be back for Detroit, which is not surprising after the Ken Holland news.

Holland today also said, “Our defense is old,” which is the most correct and wise thing he’s said in the past decade.

I softened on Tootoo a bit after living in Nunavut and seeing how much he meant to the kids up there. lovely that he played the way he did to keep his job but that's also how the league was. Plus all the older Inuit wanted to do was remind him that he wasn't as good as his dead brother.

Yeah say what you will about the way they play but players like him and Gino did have to deal with a lot of poo poo to even get into a rink regularly.

This was a thing but the “jinx” of not being able to win in philly ended around 2011-2013. Turns out, the Flyers aren’t that good, and that’s a bigger factor than home ice.
