Seriously why does Val suddenly look like a completely different player (other than still not lifting the puck)

The Russian Gas

Fedun is pretty patient and methodical. Surprised he's 30 though.

 

[Kcb12345]

Wonder if Benn kicked that

Edit: he didn't yay

 

[Satan]

Top line elite

He's elite

Jesus love that play from both Gurianov and Val. Wow

 

[Satan]

Queue up: Nichushkins one move

 

[Zapp]

Ok. NOW i see why Button rated Guryanov's skating so high.

 

[MBTendy]

Val-Dicky-Gury ... interesting.

Weird. Saw Benn goal on NHL.com alerts, still not on my fox+ feed....

Does anyone understand why Hanley was waived early? I understand waiving him once Klingberg is activated from IR and playing, but exposing him to the risk of getting claimed when you clearly need him for at least this game seems like an objective mistake.

I’d imagine to respect the trade freeze. If someone wanted him, he’d have time to move and make plans with a good chunk of time before the holidays get going.

Lol true.

Think he and McDavid were the only ones he gave 5/5 for skating.

Gurianov got 5/5 on his shot as well.

Notice Gury didn’t rush to the net when there was nothing there? That’s what I wanna see.

And yeah, Nuke is playing much better. Still, he has to produce.

It’s not about how fast you start, but how you finish. Am I right?

 

[Smelling Salt]

Weird. Saw Benn hoal on NHL.com alerts, still not on my fos+ feed....

TheScore alert gave it to Hesikanen. Now it's Benn from Rads and Seguin.

Yes.

Spin zone: Guryanov's already been demoted

That would be unusually generous. The NHL already allows a period of time for the players to spend the holidays with their families. That's an interesting idea though. Maybe they asked Hanley if he would rather be waiver earlier or later and he preferred earlier.

Christmas roster freeze starts tomorow. They had to do it at the latest today or Klingberg couldn't be activated . There would be no rosterspot for him.

Now Hanley can be just send down when Klingberg is back. Can't be picked up until he plays 10 games or is active on the roster for 30 days again

 

[Satan]

Starting to think Razor gets paid only to compliment the team

He's the hype man

 

[Kcb12345]

Pleaseeee oh lord let Gurianov and Nichushkin develop good chemistry

 

[Satan]

Did Razor just say Eric Methot twice

 

[Kcb12345]

Seguin penalty for trying too hard

I’d like to think Nill cares about the players as people enough to give him that courtesy. It does seem like most players seem valued by the organization at every level.
