Aye Doc posted:nobody has cap space really, so anyone who would want him likely needs to be sending back a salaried player to take on his deal Boy, am I glad they shipped PLD out before all this poo poo went down and a return involving Tony D would have been plausible in exchange for getting clubbed by two-thirds of their former Top Line whenever we go back to the old divisions. Thank gently caress they also have a lights out top pair that doesn't encourage them to trade for him, either.

WeaponX posted:Also just looking at his stat line Bitetto looks like a total pylon but this could be the classic over-performance game to make up for all the behind the scenes scuttlebutt so prolly gonna get a hatty tonight. A literal traffic pylon would be better at staying in position than Jack Johnson, so your comparable gives me hope.

I'm starting to think the Dept of Player Safety is only getting one station this week. There wasn't a penalty called on this on the ice even? But head shots are totally fine this season. https://twitter.com/NHLPlayerSafety/status/1356289899071209472?s=20

So I guess after the initial Tony d rumors have cleared up it's resulted in the true best case scenario: Tony d remains embarrassed and out of a job and, since he apparently did not punch Tony d in the face after all, I can continue hating Chris kreider guilt free

https://theathletic.com/2360200/2021/02/01/marco-rossi-wild-covid-19-serge-payerMichael Russo of The Athletic posted:The Wild, Rossi and Payer are not yet comfortable sharing the exact medical diagnosis because they’re still waiting for a complete medical report and there remain some differing opinions. The diagnosis was reached after Rossi underwent a cardiac screening and bloodwork that must be performed on any NHL player who has tested positive for the virus. So he's got some sort of Covid long haul issues and he still played in the World Juniors. Lets hope everything is okay. They're dancing around it but it almost feels like it has to be something related to Myocarditis. soggybagel fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Feb 2, 2021 |

Still kinda worried the Penguins are gonna take DeAngelo on if the Rangers eat enough money to fit into their 85 cents of cap space. Also still reeling from the Jim Rutherford era ending with Rutherford resigning over ownership not letting him dump Kris Letang (who of course got injured one (1) day later). The Penguins are the most entertaining team in the league by far. No lead is safe. If they're down 4 goals or up 4 goals, you can't turn that dial! Most likely sooner or later they're going to go through one of those stretches every team periodically has where you're still generating chances but you somehow score only 2 goals in 6 games, and when that happens Sullivan will be gone.

I sometimes find myself reflecting on how lucky I am that I got to see this end of Lemieux through Crosby era. Easily one of the most entertaining and sometimes frustrating stretches in professional sports. Young Sid just destroying people on those awful Therrien teams, willing Dupuis into a 50 point player and the corpse of Chris Kunitz on to team Canada. Malkin's stretches of Mario-esque physical dominance. The first cup run destruction of the Hurricanes. I have never seen a team dominate like that back to back 2016 and 2017 team. This is definitely the wind down but there's still enough magic in that old hat to keep it entertaining.

Easily one of the most entertaining and sometimes frustrating stretches in professional sports. Young Sid just destroying people on those awful Therrien teams, willing Dupuis into a 50 point player and the corpse of Chris Kunitz on to team Canada. Right there with you, brother. Crosby is finally declining (he's been actually losing occasional puck battles and getting stripped of the puck by defensemen, which loving never happened for like 15 years) but it's Malkin that makes me really sad. I don't know if it's the piling up of injuries or whatever but he's mostly in full Controller Disconnected mode on defense, just kind of drifting around and reaching out to poke at the puck when it happens to come close. Just sucks to watch. But by drat they're still a threat to score in 0.8 seconds anytime they have the puck. And their opponents are also always a threat to score in 0.8 seconds! Wouldn't trade anything for the back-to-back Cups (especially the utterly dominant 2016 team after Johnston was fired) and the most awesome Finals ever played in 2009. No regrets, except Mike Johnston. Everyone regrets Mike Johnston. e: OK, I also kinda regret that the one year the Sharks finally broke through to the Finals they ran into that 2016 Penguins buzzsaw. Would have been cool and good to see them get a Cup. Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Feb 2, 2021 |

The Leafs already have Morgan Rielly to pile up points on the back of a good forward corps, not play anything resembling defence, and tell people to  rag it they don’t need the hyperspeed bath salts version of him on the team tyvm

Caps had to poo poo the bed sooner or later. No shame in loosing to the Bruins, they’re legit. Caps are definitely playoff contenders but Ive felt like they’re not as good as their record shows them to be.

There was an article that said he could only do body weight conditioning with COVID shutting down his usual gyms over the the break so I could see it being just as likely that he's not really in game shape just yet too. He's a big natural moose but not a physical freak like Ovie or gym rat like Jagr.

And even then you’d need a lot of space and equipment to build out like some of these insane hockey gyms. Also, that picture of Jumbo Joe looks like a dude you could get a contact high from hanging around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him with so little emotion on his face.

Shocking, I know.) and their AHL starter I think was in town but couldn't get out of his house because a blizzard hit. I wanted so fuckin' badly to see him go in.
