2017-18 Around the League Thread - Part III

[me2]

I'm not for a second saying it's the wrong strategy. If you're trying to win games, it's absolutely the best way to get the most out of this roster.

It's just insane to me how many people are talking about what an exciting brand of hockey we're playing. Like, it's literally the exact opposite.

Yep. The only thing exciting about the team is the kids (aka the rebuild part that we aren't having).

Oh goodie, Ducks just lost Perry and Blues gonna be without Petrianglo...

Blues also lost Schwartz for 6 weeks last game.

Perry seems to be day to day unless something hasn't shown up on the injury lists (I haven't looked into it beyond I know he left the game). However, they got Rakell, Silfverberg, and Getzlaf back last night. I think Lindholm who has missed the last few games will return soon as well.

The Ducks have tread water despite some big injuries for a good chunk of the year...the canucks barely tread water BEFORE the injuries hit. Ducks have had 175 man games lost so far....a big chunk of that is Kesler and Getzlaf.

Not really around the NHL...,but Anton Rodin who just signed for Davos in Switzerland,just broke his leg...Out for two months...The guy has no luck.

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: After Erik Karlsson‘s comments, there was anger from management, and there was at least one tense meeting between the two sides.

Y...eah, like the Senators need this shit right now...

One of the best hockey names ever. Rest in peace.

RIP

But best hockey name? I think that belongs to Miroslav Šatan.

 

[MS]

My all-time favourites are Bart Crashley and Merlin Malinowski.

RIP ZZ. That makes me feel old.

Kind of dumb thing to post on Elliotte's behalf.

why?

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Zalapski actually came to Canucks camp on a PTO around 2000.

RIP, 49 is way too young.

 

[Dissonance Jr]

Back in 1994, we were apparently very, very close to trading hold-out Peter Nedved and Gerald Diduck to the Whalers for Zarley Zalapski, James Patrick, and Michael Nylander.

But Hartford wouldn't meet Nedved's salary demands, the trade fell through, and St. Louis sent Nedved an offer sheet shortly thereafter. The rest, well, you know.

Way too young to go, sad to hear that.

Inherited the curse of Salo. He'll get Hossa's jock itch next.

I seem to remember something about him joining Team Canada at first (either not entering the draft/or choosing to stick with the Olympic team [back when the NHL wasn't involved] even after being drafted).

 

[yvrtojfk]

why?

IMO, this is some TMZ shit.

 

[LeftCoast]

RIP ZZ. He was younger than me. Too Young.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Imagine Sens draft Dahlin.

 

[0din]

Alert, alert, the Cachuckles phone lines are burning up with offers for the teams first round pick, all kinds of AHL players are being offered. Benning is indecisive as most are too young and not being paid enough.

Jon Merril with one of the luckiest goals of the year for Vegas to take the lead!

Canuck fan knows.

I believe the word he was looking for was "flukey".

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Imagine Sens draft Dahlin.

Then they trade him to us for a guy named Burroughs.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh.

Loving what Vegas is doing... hopefully they keep it up!
