gosh! i like both the islanders and the rangers!!! :^)

quote:

At least they're starting to get some things right.

-Leaning on KZB as the top line
-Buch getting 17m of ice time
-Zuccarello playing with confidence (and 21:29 TOI)
-Not playing bad defensemen as much

Zibanejad in particular is looking great with these linemates. He is both in a good situation and shooting a lot more. His career high in shots is 184, but playing top minutes with top players, both PP and ES, he's on pace and likely to take close to 300 shots and convert that to ~30 goals


So what you're saying is....Fire NOT AV?

Also, man, you gotta feel bad for Legace.

The Bruins have now lost: Acciari, Spooner, McQuaid, Krejci, and Backes to injuries. The next month or so is gonna be rough with so many rookies/AHLers on the roster, and the Bruins weren't very good to begin with.

That's true.

Side note: I actually like Kevan Miller this year. They've made a big deal of talking about his offseason workouts, and how he really worked on his skating and passing and, surprisingly it shows. He looks pretty good out there now.

I'd still rather have Colin though.

I'm sure that Backes is super-happy about the Bruins announcing this to the world. Couldn't have just said "abdominal surgery"? Did we really need to know that Backes' shitter is poo poo?

I highly doubt non-english speaking NHLers are constantly trash talking everyone around them. They've almost always got a microphone somewhere in range and if they were really being that lovely it would surface eventually when the recording gets heard by someone who does speak the language.

Plus bilingual people are not THAT rare.

Gonna agree with this and that language paranoia in America is pretty strongly correlated with shitheads HOWEVER I don’t know what Eichel’s tone is and he could be making a joke that didn’t translate well to print.

Seguin’s comment is pure “I’m not pressing 1 for English!!” nonsense, though.

I realize that. You're projecting some weird poo poo onto a completely inoffensive offhand comment.

Seguin, on the other hand, said some stuff that clearly has some not-great undertones.

Basically every guy who changed teams on a giant contract in July 2016 is looking like a huge boat anchor now:

Okposo: 7 years $6M per (2 pts in 10 games with Buffalo)
Backes: 5 years $6M per (dead now)
Lucic: 7 years $6M per (can't even score with McDavid setting him up)
Ladd: 7 years $5.5M per (31 points!)
Erikssson: 6 years $6M per (24 points!)
Nielsen: 6 years $5.25M (4 points in 13 games)
Boedker: 4 years $4M per (scratched in the playoffs)
Brouwer: 4 years $4.625M per (he's really bad)
Demers: 5 years $4.5M per (traded)

Maybe not. But considering how xenophobic white people get when people don't speak English around them, it's not that far-fetched.
