CBJSprague24 posted:Biznasty and Jason Williams played in the EIHL for a couple years. I think there have been a couple other random NHLers and a few punchmen who have wound up there for a bit only to come back to the US. i only just now realized that the EIHL is in the UK, which makes the british accent on the DOPS video much less notable

T-Bone posted:was at the game tonight, it was weird as hell seeing the Zajac line just demolish Crosby's line all night Ryan Reaves was on Crosby’s line tonight, so it’s not that weird. Or at least for the first half, that’s all I caught

rex rabidorum vires posted:Carter Rawney isn't really played in 5v5 situations so they just toss Sid or Geno between whatever is on the 4th line right now. Unfortunately, the Pens went 3 games without Reaves in the lineup and the 4th line all of a sudden stopped getting caved in quite so much, but now Sheary and Hornquist are out soooooo back in he goes I didn’t look at the line combos in depth, but I noticed Reaves went out with Sid and Simon a lot, which made t seem more like a promo to 1L rather than Sid doubling on 4L. Regardless, the pens would be better off bringing up some more skilled depth from WBS than slotting Reaves in anywhere. I do wonder how much pressure comes from JR to play Reaves, just seems so out of keeping with Sullivan’s style

I have a hard time imagining Nash getting traded within the Metro, and maybe even Eastern Conference, given how NHL GMs seem to work. I don't know anything about what these teams could give up in terms of prospects or picks, or whether they might be on Nash's trade list, or if Nash is the type of player they'd want to get at the deadline, but I could see almost any Western playoff team being interested. And with Nash being a UFA this offseason, I'm guessing NYR would be willing to retain a decent amount of salary if they can get a good return of prospects and/or picks. WPG, SJS, NSH and LAK are all currently in a playoff position and have some cap space, and CGY is right there... STL and MIN seem to have less cap space* but maybe could work something out. I could see any of those teams seeing themselves as deadline buyers, so who knows. *Caveat: I don't understand CapFriendly's deadline cap space projection

Ginette Reno posted:We'd need to also find some 3c/4c first tbh (come home Cullen) because gently caress if I wanna go into the playoffs with Sheahan/Rowney as the bottom six center depth i actually feel like sheahan was a surprisingly good pick up. haven't dug into the stats but watching games he doesn't really seem like that much of a drop off from bonino. cullen was a great 4C, but i could live with rowney as a 4C if we're able to get reaves out of the lineup how about maatta + 87 gallons of crosby's sweat for mcdonagh???

No, but you see, the canucks have gotten considerably worse since losing AV as a coach, so therefore he is Good

I feel like McD to Boston is the type of trade that would somehow upset the weird magic that Boston has had most of the year and be the cause of an unexpected early playoff exit So I’m all for it

Wamsutta posted:Torts has always been a stellar dude away from hockey, from all accounts. Between things like his relationship with Liam (who appeared in the NHL 24/7 around the NYR/PHI winter classic I believe) and all of the work he does to help dogs and dog charities, I'm not mad at him for a second. I was just glad when he wasn't the coach of my favorite hockey team anymore. honestly all the quotes from him since taking the CBJ (and maybe more importantly, getting shithoused in the world cup) make me think reformed torts isn't just entertaining and a decent guy, but also seems like he wouldn't be a bad coach. i haven't watched enough CBJ to really know, but his soundbytes at least make him seem like he's embraced skillful play and a more carrot than stick approach as opposed to grinding and shot blocking and being a hardass just for the sake of it

What are the bruins main roster weaknesses? Lack of scoring depth? Seems like these moves are incrementally positive on that front, but they don’t really make the Bs any scarier in my mind...

I literally loled for a solid 30 seconds when i first saw the vanek trade that's a good deal for TB. i feel like mcd has been on a decline and he doesn't really scare me as a #1D these days, but boy is TB gonna have some tough D depth, will be fun to watch the pens eventually dismantle it

I was at a training event for work yesterday that had some folks from our offices around the country, and wound up chatting about the Pens with a guy from Pitt. He asked what I thought of the Pens TDL moves. I saw a bit of sadness in his eyes, so instead of saying that JR’s best move was getting rid of Reaves, I said I was happy about Brass and that Reaves was fun to watch but just didn’t have the speed or scoring touch for Sullivan’s Penguins. He was pained, but knew this to be true, and muttered something wistfully about the game changing.
