what am i missing? that doesn't look like much in the gif..

He almost ended the guys career.

Must be a weird gif because I don’t see much there either.

That's the uh point.
The only reason it was a suspension was because they were playing SKA

There's some reports that the player broke his hand or something. Haven't found anything official though yet.

 

[ElGuapo]

Is he facing criminal charges? Siberian prison camp?

The sarcasm didn’t translate well

Twitter confused me even more.

Sharks up 3-2 and then with a minute left in the game they score an empty net goal and go up 4-2...then they somehow lose the game 5-4 in overtime...lmfao

I closed the stream when the Sharks scored that empty netter only to find out they still lost in OT . What in the world man.

I was at the game with my oldest son (12 years old), who is a Sharks fan. It was his first live SJ game. He was bummed at the outcome, but got a warmup puck, so overall a great experience for him. San Jose gave up a pulled-goalie goal last night as well. They aren’t too sound this year. Perhaps losing Pavelski hurt more than they thought it would.

Your 20-21 Dallas Stars coach.

Or maybe Seattle goes hard after him.

He and that McCarthy guy aparently are a tandem deal. Not a fan of that. If Laviolette wants to bring a guy who ran special teams this terribly for multiple years with him he should go elsewhere. Do not want that. Those clowncar special teams of Nashville are the reason why both got canned ( and why the Stars won the series last year rather easily , thanks for that ) also Laviolettes refusal to coach without McCarthy as an assistant.

 

[Satan]

Pass on Lavy

 

[M88K]

Nah, we're going to get Cooper, once in doesn't work out in Tampa

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

The 4 NHL coaches sacked this year also had the goalie tandems with the 4 lowest SV%, which seems like quite a coincidence. Not.

Interesting speculation. If Bowness keeps up his current record, and they end with 108 points, it will be hard to pass him up, no? Even a bit hard if they raise a bit from last year (WC to 3rd Central) which seems most likely, but maybe not. I'm sure Nill wouldn't want 5th coach in 5 years...….

 

[LT]

108 points? Is that really correct? That’s usually good for at or near the top of the conference.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Our pace currently is 101/102 points. Bowness' record is a 112 point pace. I'm guessing the Stars end up around 96-98 points but who knows because the team is streaking wildly.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

I calculated the 108 by using Bowness current rate times half a season, added to our current points, thus, splitting the difference.

 

[serp]

I would think if the team does at least as well as last year Bowness and the rest of the coaching staff stays. I don't think hiring a new coaching staff and overhauling everything , AGAIN , would be a good idea when the team is playing well with it.

Replacing Monty with Bowness in that sense made sense because Bowness build the system together with Monty and the other assistants and was Montys main assistant.

 

[JesusNPucks]

Please, not Laviolette. I could get on board with Cooper. Sadly, Nill will probably be gone before he gets to hire a new coach.

 

[serp]

By the way i just saw this



Stars drafting obviously hasn't been that good but at least its not THIS bad.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

What were the average pick numbers? Montreal was good for a while there so most are 15++ I assume. Which makes it harder.

Also just a quick glance it's pretty much on par with us.

The Galchenyuk and Sergachev trades are fine, though. They worked out alright. Rest are all mid-to-low 1st rounders.

It’s not that bad.
