Yay the Capitals have recalled Jakub Vrana from Hershey. He's been great for them recently and he will be replacing Zach Sanford who was in way over his head as a rookie.

Hopefully Vrana can stick and Trotz doesn't give him a short leash.

There's something bizarrely satisfying about turning down free Leafs tickets.

Both of them committed about 4 penalties each in that play, it was great.

I just met Pierre McGuire in the bowels of the Barclays Center, no one was around, I could've easily hit him over the head with something and no one would've known. It would've been so easy. I've failed you SAS

The wailing from the hockey media world would be unbearable if McGuire was murdered. They'd be dedicating stupid poo poo to him for the rest of the season with no hint of irony.

They'd create some kind of scouting related trophy for the awards ceremony given to the scout who can correctly name the most players and the college they went to.

what do adult sikhs do during the games about the hat?

If you mean while playing, in my experience one guy wore the under-wrap that isn't really a turban and another just wore a helmet without anything under it.

If you mean like when hat-tricks happen then I think they'd tell you it's a religious thing not a hat and in my experience would be pretty polite and not call you an rear end in a top hat.

That's not the least bit surprising. It's disappointing, really stupid, etc. etc. but at the same time other teams are similarly dumb for having offered that in the first place, just Ottawa gets stuck holding the grenade. People were really talking him up at the end of last year, when Phaneuf was his partner and so clearly the better player.

It was always reported that Cowen would've warranted a big return until really the last year and I have 0 reason to doubt that.

I took kind of a cursory glance at them and the vast majority were pretty supportive. Most of the rest were ripping on other commentators so I guess I'd call that neutral?

Sorry, I read the first one and sighed, guessing wrongly at the direction it was headed now that we live in a post Obama world.

to be a pedantic rear end, he didn't really "drop" Pirri he just kinda threw him awkwardly into the boards. It's not like he one punched him.

I kind of meant literally dropped him, just kind of lifted him up and sort of let go. Though Pirri kind of fell over on his own a bit too. When you're watching it near the ice it looks a lot more impressive than it does on a video replay.

Apparently the Blues are finally cutting ties with the Chicago Wolves of the AHl after the 2017 season and starting a team in Kansas City. About time.

quote:

The Blues, who have been with the AHL's Chicago Wolves for four seasons, including the current one, will cut ties with the Wolves at the conclusion of the 2017 season and form an affiliation with a team that will be based in Kansas City owned by Lamar Hunt Jr., whose father Lamar Hunt founded the Kansas City Chiefs, and former Blues defenseman Tom Tilley.

According to the source, it's pretty much "a done deal."

The Blues have not made the plans official, but Hunt Jr., who currently owns the Missouri Mavericks of the ECHL, who will also look to bring a United States Hockey League team to play with the new AHL team at the Sprint Center, where the Blues have played multiple exhibition games in recent seasons.

I assume this means Las Vegas will try to partner with the Wolves now?

EDIT: This is jut a rumor but a Blues beat reporter posted it so I think there is a high chance of it happening? I really hope so.

wow I can't believe the islanders took a multiple goal into the 3rd period, stopped playing hockey because they're coached by a caveman, and immediately blew it

Not sure how the Pens managed to not close that one out.

What's Chicago's lease situation? Does that even matter? I imagine it's much much easier to move an AHL team than it is to move an NHL team, especially one with no affiliation. That could/would be an easy solution for Vegas I imagine.

I'm wondering if the Wolves leave Chicago, would the Hawks/Rockford entertain the thought of moving the hour closer to Chicago or would they not even bother?

Man, I wish Burkie did more interviews. He has such a way with words, especially when he's pissed off about something

quote:

Treliving’s response, according to Burke: “No. And by the way, next time you have a stupid idea like that, just save the quarter. Don’t call.”

.....

“Clearly covet the player. He’s 6-foot-5, he’s 237 pounds, he’s a right shot, he’s a great kid, he skates like a deer, he can shoot the puck.”
