Interesting Info: Part XXII (Jackets-related "tidbits" here)

I’m so glad we dodged that bullet. No doubt In my mind if Johnny hadn’t fallen in our laps we’d paid kadri

I probably wouldn't have liked the deal, but can you imagine the collective media heads exploding if we would have gotten Kadri and Johnny? Would have been hilarious.

Kadri was probably hoping for a monster payday and now ends up back in Colorado. The contender thing is kind of dumb. Going into the season Calgary was a contender and now they lost Gaudreau and are taking Tkachuk to arbitration. Things can change so quickly in a flat cap world. I get you have to trust what a GM is doing but 1 FA leaving, 1 top pick not developing, a depth pick turning into a superstar can change a teams outlook pretty quickly

The crazy thing is that no one would have batted an eye if Gaudreau had signed for seven years with the Islanders, even though most think they're probably rebuilding in a couple years. We're more understanding of short-sightedness than we are of a player being long-sighted.

Yeah fans overrate players knowledge of where an organization is and projects to be. Look at him talking about our top prospect Kent Johnson. Thought it was cool he idolized him and chose 13 because of him but had no idea that was the case. He referred to him as "the younger guy"and he hears hes pretty skinny so he'll take him out for steak dinners to beef him up.
Not many NHLers are hockey nuts like us weirdos that know NHL teams beyond the guys on the ice when they play them

If I were a 20 something rich NHL player, the last thing I‘d be doing is arguing with some stranger over the internet whether Marco Kasper or Joakim Kemell will be a better NHL player. But I’m not a 20 something rich NHL player, so I can waste plenty of telling telling some moron that Kasper is the better prospect and take some satisfaction when Kasper is drafted higher.

man I loved Vyborny.

Also like seeing Glen Murray in old clips. Murray-Thornton-Knuble was one of my favorite lines growing up. Murray is from a small "city" in NS less than an hour from where I grew up so he'd go back on a somewhat regular basis but sadly hes one of those guys that had major feet issues post retirement. He couldnt skate after retirement but I think it was LAs trainers that designed a special skate for him so he could do things like skate with his son or better teach prospects on the ice.

Nostalgia, with some old names and the jerseys......

Those should have been the real reverse retros.

Edit: with stinger on the shoulders

Finally, a good use of "our blue". Wonder if we'll ever get a mix up where we only travel with blue pants but the home team wants to wear white for some reason. Would look... interesting.

All the shit that Fedorov gets from our fans, he still had some in the tank. I still have his jersey - the only one I've ever bought.

If we're posting historic, goalie stickthrowing, Bruins OT game winners, how could you forget the first-ever OT Winner?


Sanderson, the hey song goal celebration, no chili chant, no Rimer. Nostalgia.
My first and last game in-person with my grandfather. We were in the Handicap seats on the ice right in front of this goal.

Some guy named "Patrick" Bergeron scored Boston's 4th goal.

How is our goalie rank so high? How is it higher than Detroit who has Cossa?

It's Bader. That's why. We need a rule to keep that junk from getting spread around.

He must have sucked, seeing as he doesn't seem to be in the league anymore.
