Yeah, truth be told, I'm not terribly disappointed they're out because they defied expectations in spite of injuries/no Bread/no Bob, did win a series to get "in", and, if nothing else, it's a test run of what they need going forward (which, to no surprise, is scoring).

quote:Kekäläinen is not one to show his hand, of course. But word around the NHL is that the Blue Jackets have already had talks and laid the groundwork for what could be a hectic month of October, the NHL’s new (and hopefully temporary) July. Bring forth the TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADES. GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:Jarmo said today in the post-season presser that Dubinsky's career is probably over due to his wrist injury. I also didn't realize he was already 34 years old. Happy trails. Dubi was a warrior. He'll live on in my SAS ultimate fantasy roster. Cartoon Man posted:As for Covid hockey, have they said how next season will look? I can’t imagine a full 82 games in a bubble environment, the players would go nuts. I’d do a 40 game season split into two 20 game bubble sprints separated by a month long mid season bye for the players to go home and be with family. Start the season with the first 20 game sprint in Jan/Feb, take March off, then Apr/May with playoffs in June. Conference only games unfortunately, teams need to stay in the bubble. I still want a repeat of the 2013 season- 48 games, in-conference only, regular playoffs, Cup awarded in late June/early July, then normal programming in 2021-22.

Kawalimus posted:I wasn't. I think the President's Trophies should absolutely count for a lot. But sports has become this thing where nobody cares about what you do in the regular season if you don't win the championship even though failing is built into postseasons. It would be a lot easier to look at the Ovechkin era as a huge success if those President's trophies were valued the way they should be but the drama of the Stanley Cup changes things. I mean, if you're going to complain about "We had a bunch of good seasons and one of them finally won us a Cup", can I interest you in trading for "It took my team 9 years to make the playoffs, 14 to win a playoff game, 19 to win a series, and the only time they've made the playoffs in consecutive years is the current four year streak they're on right now"?. The Jackets have only flirted with winning their Division once (2017). Speaking of: Flyinglemur posted:If they're going to fire Reirdon than they should also fire whoever made the decision to not re-sign Trotz. "We got bounced from the playoffs by the guy we didn't bring back. Let's take it out on the guy we DID hire."

The Kapanen trade seems like it's trying to be a reboot of the Kessel trade (skilled forward, a 1st, and some throw-ins exchanged both ways) which, coincidentally enough, included Kapanen. How many retreads have the Pens brought in in the last few years? Sheary, Cullen, Kapanen, and they tried to get Hagelin back but weren't allowed.

An Animated History of John Tortorella's Donations to the NHL Foundation: https://theathletic.com/2026665/2020/08/28/the-tortorella-rap-sheet-blue-jackets-coach-has-been-sanctioned-15-times-by-nhl/ quote:After a 6-1 home loss to Tampa Bay, Sabres coach John Muckler was getting heckled by a fan, who called him “a disgrace to the city,” according to the Buffalo News. Muckler slapped the fan on his way to the dressing room, and Tortorella — then an assistant coach — grabbed hold of the fan and tried to pull him over the rails before security intervened. I mean, that's probably not the smartest thing he could have don--- quote:The fan was Vincent LoTiempo, an assistant district attorney in Erie County. Never mind, gently caress that guy. He was probably Mr. Do You Know Who I Am? in public. (I'd never seen the clip of Torts going after the drunk Caps fan with the stick. Gord Miller rules. Related to that, did NYR fans like the "New York Attitude" he carried his whole time there?)

The correct answer above is 2nd all-time on the CBJ's list. 3rd place hasn't played for the team since 2006 (and Korpi, with a decent season, would get past him next season with only one prior season as starter.  )

ThinkTank posted:He wanted to play but he's all but blind in one eye. The Canucks refused to let him play despite his desire to do so so ate his full cap hit for a year rather than risk his health. He left as a free agent with Carolina but it became quickly clear the Canucks were right. He stuck around for a couple years but retired in 2015. He's been a faceoff/defensive zone coach in Vancouver since. The Lake Erie Monsters signed him to a PTO the year they won the Calder Cup, but he wasn't on the roster at the end of the season. Didn't he go play some very Semi-Pro level soccer briefly before hanging it up completely?

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Hornqvist is rad and I think he'll easily keep having 20 goal (paced) seasons on a team that builds the powerplay around him/cycling the puck rather than rushing. He's one of those skilled, but pesky, pain in the rear end players you can easily find a way to hate unless he's playing for your team, at which point he's awesome. The best comparison I can think of is Scott Hartnell. I had someone else in mind, but whoever it was slipped my mind.
