the NHL Thread

[Irishman]

Pretty awful news.

 

[goblue96]

Id rather hit a stone wall while drunk doing 120 mph.

Slipped coming out of a hot tub, yikes

The full story is more along the lines of they were hammered in a hot tub shooting mortars off of the side of it when something went wrong and they all scrambled to get out. Not any less tragic but you know, "of course...but maybe"

 

[Karl Hungus]

Yikes.

 

[Irishman]

Well fuck.

 

[goblue96]

 

[kella]

How long until we reach the Brayden singularity with NHL players and over 50% of them have some version of that first name

 

[silverwheels]

At least the Habs staved off the TOMPA BAY celebration for one more game.

 

[Irishman]

It was a decent game. I suspect that Tampa probably closes it out next game, but I'm glad the Habs showed some life tonight.

 

[Irishman]

Starting to look a lot like a shoutout to close another series for the probable Conn Smythe winner.

 

[silverwheels]

Might be the least enthused I’ve ever seen a home crowd in a Cup clincher.

 

[Irishman]

Join Cooper also doesn't get enough credit. The guy has won titles at every level. Lots of changes since the off-season and they still come out and crush teams.

 

[Irishman]

Also...Pat Maroon. Damn.

 

[Yankee151]

I'm happy, but if this karma means BOOK doesn't get a SHIP, then give it back. If I get both, then I'll celebrate both

 

[silverwheels]

Well deserved for Vasilevsky. Guy was absolute nails all playoffs.

 

[Irishman]

Shut up, Gary.

 

[kella]

Gave this series 0 eyeballs and that seems to have been the right move. Yuck.

 

[BearDownUofA]

Hooray cap circumvention!

 

[Irishman]

Hooray cap circumvention!

Aren't you a Blackhawks fan? Didn't they do the same thing in 2015 when Kane got hurt?

 

[adchester]

Its depressing watching Florida and Texas teams be good and no one give a shit. I tuned into the first couple games but after it was clear MTL had no chance I just didn't care anymore. Hockey should be restricted to above the Mason Dixon line lol

I never denied I was a hypocrite.

 

[silverwheels]

Oilers traded for 37-year-old Duncan Keith.

 

[Irishman]

Pekka Rinne retired.

Lol about Duncan Keith. Oof.

 

[Karl Hungus]

I hear Chris Pronger is available, too

 

[silverwheels]

No shit!

 

[silverwheels]

Also the Lightning dented the Cup during their parade, LOL.

Speaking of Tampa...

Imagine wearing a sweater in Tampa in July

The Cup has seen far worse.

 

[silverwheels]

More idiocy from the Oilers

 

[Irishman]

They also lost Adam Larson to Seattle via free agency.

R.I.P. McDavid and Draisaitl's careers

They also lost Adam Larson to Seattle via free agency.

And traded for the rotting corpse of Duncan Keith.

@goblue96, they passed on Ghost and took Twarynski.

 

[adchester]

Noooo they took my UMD boy Soucy from the Wild

 

[goblue96]

@goblue96, they passed on Ghost and took Twarynski.

Who? Never heard of this guy.

 

[Irishman]

Marc Bergevin seems to think Shea Weber's playing career might be over:

If true, what a bummer.

 

[Irishman]

Flyers had to beg someone to take Ghost off of their hands. Good fucking grief.

Flyers trade Shayne Gostisbehere, two draft picks in 2022 to Arizona | Philadelphia Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers announced have traded defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, a second round pick in 2022 and a seventh round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft

[goblue96]

@Irishman

The Flyers general manager acquired defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen from the Sabres. The price to do so was not cheap. The Flyers sent Buffalo the 13th overall pick in tonight's NHL draft, Robert Hagg and a 2023 second-round selection.

Fletcher traded a practice cone, a 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder for another practice cone.

 

[Irishman]

There doesn't seem to be a lot of certainty around this year's draft, so I can understand why teams, including the Flyers, have been dumping picks for players. I actually like a crystalline in, so I'm okay with the move. This year's draft class had some more certainty, I probably wouldn't like the move nearly as much.

 

[goblue96]

 

[Irishman]

Fleury traded to Chicago for a prospect. He's apparently considering retirement.

 

[Irishman]

Fleury also apparently found out about the trade on Twitter. Vegas proving that they have zero humanity in their front office.

A team run by DeBoer and McPhee deserves to lose.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Caps signed Ovi to a five-year extension, lol.

They are fucked in the medium term, so why not? (They don't realize they're fucked in the short term too).
