GDT: Around the League 2020-21 v2

Jim Rutherford resigns as Penguins GM. It's officially described as for "personal reasons" but I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a graceful way to let him control the narrative as opposed to an out-right firing. Pittsburgh has not played up their standard this year and his personnel decisions definitely have played a role.

Yeah I was wondering if it's Rutherford bailing on the Pens before he takes the brunt of the fallout for the Penguins demise. Now if things really go off the rails he can say he would have made moves to prevent that from happening.

That said if it is truly for personal reasons perhaps that plays a little bit into questionable choices in the recent past. Also, regardless you hope all is well with him and his family.

I have zero faith in the Sens tonight but if they could somehow beat Vancouver that would make my night .

Haha the best part is the puck flip was such a Tkachuk thing to do. Turtle boy can dish it but certainly can’t take it.

I think they respond tonight. Hogberg probably gets the start, Murray has forgotten how to do the goalie thing.

Kyprios speculates that Robin Lehner came into camp over 300 lbs and is currently playing at 285 lbs.

~40 minute mark is where they discuss it.

Good lord. Vegas was still playing in mid-September, so he put on how much weight between then and camp?

6 hours a night of Netflix. Trust me.

Meanwhile, Fleury has been lights out good.

Add in some all night buffets too.

What gains in Vegas stays in Vegas.

NHL.com lists his weight at 240. To gain approximately 50-60 pounds in that short of time from when they got eliminated to the start of January is pretty wild.

He's a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I hope he didn't get back on the stuff and that's why he ballooned up if this rumour is accurate.

Sounds like he adopted my Covid diet and workout regimen.

I was about to suggest the same thing. I hope he's staying clear of it. I know he had also admitted to suffering from depression so hopefully he's taking care of himself mentally. To gain the weight of an average 8 year old child in 4-5 months though, that tells me something isn't right.

I wonder if Kieth is having any luck with that water to wine thing.

 

[Mav3rick07]

Wow . And I hate to state the obvious but he’s a former addict playing in Vegas. Plus he just got paid big time. Not a safe combination.

Those weights aren’t always the most accurate.

I know they're not but it's at least a reference point and it's not like he reportedly gained only 10-15 pounds. Even an approximate 45 pound weight gain is still a substantial amount of weight to have gained in 4 months or so.

It’s going to be a real barn burner

The parade (or riot) is back on!

The parade (or riot) is back on!

Canuck fans are gonna be insufferable if they win tonight .

“OMG WE BEAT OTTAWA TWICE STANLEY CUP HERE WE COME BEST TEAM IN CANADA.”

I know this fan base swings the pendulum back and forth but even that little run in 2016-2017 didn't have the serious fans arrogant. Most Canucks fans seem to either disappear when the team sucks or start planning the parade with a small taste of success. Probably helps explain the behaviours that led to the riot.
