League News: 2017-2018 General NHL Fan Talk - (News n' Scores n' Stuff)

[Calicaps]

Pretty powerful stuff coming out today on the Player's Tribune

Ugh. Heartbreaking. I’m glad to know at least that there’s some treatment now. I really worry about Oshie. His dad has Alzheimer’s already...

 

[VaCaps Fan]

I don't trust "carbomb" after his antics in 2010 stanley cup against Chicago. (I know he was a folk hero for the Hawks latter on).....

Though this is a great cause....

 

[Calicaps]

Men are more straightforward IMO. If I’m EK I would have confronted Hoffman immediately over such an issue.

Many women act differently around their boyfriends as opposed to how they act around other women.

This discussion is nauseating on so many levels...

I’ll just say this: Hoffman has a choice to make now. What does he most want from his life? And who does he want to be?

Both he and EK will be gone from Ottawa next year I suspect, that organization will need to burn some serious sage in the locker room. They’ve got a long road ahead to being something like a team again. Ain’t gonna be pretty.

IMO life is too short to have crazy as your significant other. Hoffman indeed has some life changing crossroads approaching. I mean what team is going to want to accept him into the room and her into the families circle behind the scenes?

this i agree with 100%

LOL @ Marc Bergevin.

You couldn't get something better than Max Domi for Galchenyuk? 32 goals in 222 NHL games.

This is what happens when you hire a GM based on his birthplace and language skill, rather than his ability to do the job.

 

[Acallabeth]

Crazy how Bergevin has destroyed what looked like a foundation of a very soild team in 2 years.

 

[ovikovy817]

Poor Montreal

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

My favorite Max Domi stat:

Domi scored 9 goals in 82 games last season. 4 were empty netters.

Bergevin has traded Galchenyuk + Subban + Sergechev for Domi + Weber + Drouin. Ouch. I don't see how you can let that guy make the #3 OA pick or trade Pacioretty.

 

[g00n]

A little "crazy" keeps things interesting.

 

[Portable Mink]

Trade is ok to me. Both guys needed a change. They both need to perform and neither really has.

Montreal get 4 years I think RFA?

Same ppg players. There’s nothing to say domi can’t be a better player than galch. Actually I think he will be.

 

[Acallabeth]

Bergevin has traded Galchenyuk + Subban + Sergechev for Domi + Weber + Drouin. Ouch. I don't see how you can let that guy make the #3 OA pick or trade Pacioretty.

Especially after he traded the Canadiens' two highest draft picks since 2006 away and failed to develop their highest pick since 1980! And he also gave away Radulov and Markov for free. Would be a great tanking plan if he traded Price instead of signing him for an asinine contract.

 

[Calicaps]

Was Bergevin the GM when we traded for Eller?

 

[ovikovy817]

Was Bergevin the GM when we traded for Eller?

Yes.

 

[Calicaps]

Yes.

What does he have against centermen?

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Arizona is going to have a fun team in the upcoming year.

I like to follow them as my third team after the Caps (by a country mile) and then the Oilers.

This is a very good trade for Arizona, IMHO.

That really, really hurts. Subban and Sergachev could easily be their Carlson+Orlov, and then you just need to fill in the gaps. Hell, if they'd had those guys even the Alzner thing wouldn't look so bad. No worse than our Orpik, anyway.

Added: 5 Canadians and 1 Finn goalie
Subtracted: A Dane, an American, 3 Russians....and PK

Hmmmm

Alzner’s deal is way worse than Orpik’s at this point.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

I somehow never heard about the dead hands thing while he was here. I'd bet the Caps never made him an offer.

Such a shame his body is betraying him. Loved Alzner.

Imho groin injury...just like Laich.

 

[artilector]

Wait, so Azner's groin injury got so bad he couldn't open jars? Damn...

Good dude though, hopefully they buy him out so he doesn't have to kill himself for another bunch of years... maybe then he can heal up and hitch one last ride as the deadline/7D on another Caps SC run.

 

[marcel snapshot]

What does he have against centermen?

He actually really likes under-sized centers

 

[RandyHolt]

I feel like BMac should continue to target and loot dumb GM's. Does Montreal have a RHD PP type we can target in case Carlson bolts?
