Guentzel signs for 6m.

Really good contract for the Pens I think.

To me it doesn't matter if he's a product of Crosby or not. All that matters is he gets it done. 70 point pace and something like 50 points in 40 games in the playoffs.

Assuming he continues to perform at career high pace, agreed, good contract for the Pens.

 

[usiel]

Peaking too soon.

This...

Jeezus Tampa Bay is just scary now

Flyers outplayed them in the 3rd

 

[AtNightWeFly]

That goal from my favorite ginger Claude tho...

 

[hockeykicker]

Now now boys, play nice or you may need a timeout

 

[Silky mitts]

Center ice is free the rest of the year for FIOS, Vegas/Colorado on 1470

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Look at what's going on in Dallas!
I never did like that Jamie anyway but that was way harsh.

Maybe this lights a fire, maybe it alienates Benn and Seguin and they pack it in for the season. Or maybe it has the "Major League" affect of us against the world.

This Dallas thing is wild. I have never seen upper management publicly slam players in that manner. Going to be fascinating to see what happens.

Can league fine him? I think league does this when players say something bad about league.

For what, telling the truth? Never happen.

Why would they fine him?

For using profanity against NHL players. I bet players would not allowed to do the same.

 

[895]

One problem of having a very good team is that I can't even imagine a trade that sends Benn or Seguin here that actually improves the team. How boring.

If you’re expecting owners and such to be treated the same, you’ll probably be disappointed.

Im not expecting, I just asked because I don't know.

I think Laviolette has run his course in Nashville

 

[Ridley Simon]

Don’t look now — but the Caps currently have the 3rd most points in the entire league. And they have games in hand (2) on Toronto who is 3pts up.

There are no teams below them (closely below) that have played less games than the Caps.

So after all that — it’s just Tampa in front of them.

Hmmmmmm

 

[AtNightWeFly]

It would be mad funny if his old team scoops him up again.

 

[4thTierSport]

Ah, so Pens are winning off Murray’s unsustainable .960+ SV%.

 

[Sam Spade]

I think Laviolette has run his course in Nashville

I think the Preds were playing insanely good considering all of their key injuries and it is catching up with them finally.

Subban just back, Forsberg is close, although Turris just went down this week. But when they are healthy they are still the best of the west.

I heard the NHLPA is going to be involved. Not sure what that means.

As far as I know they are only releasing this statement. Not really sure what other recourse they would have.

 

[Hivemind]

Demanding trades, I assume. Or Seguin just laughing his way to the bank knowing he has $78M of Lites' money coming his way over the next 8 years.

 

[twabby]

Edmonton just making trades for the sake of making trades. I’ve had small complaints with the braintrust of Washington but they are certainly a top tier front office, especially compared to the likes of Chiarelli & Co.
