Around the League (non-Yotes NHL talk)

[0point1]

Sharks are playing really bad against the Flyers right now. Flyers look amazing.

Also Ducks have been losing quiet a few games lately but I don't see us passing them unless they have a really bad return after the Olympic break. (85pts vs 62)

 

[0point1]

Kings lost again, they've lost 9 out of their last 10 games.

One more thing of note: Today (2/3) all the Pacific division teams that played lost except for the Oilers.

 

[Mosby]

Andrew MacDonald, making $575,000 this year, and with 24 points and a -12 in 58 games, turned down a $16 million, 4-year extension from the Islanders.

This is a player who has 89 career points, including the 24 from this year.

I hope he gets less in free agency.

 

[Mosby]

An OK night around the league, from our standpoint.

The Good:
- Vancouver lost in regulation.
- Winnipeg lost in regulation.

The Bad:
- LA won in OT
- Minnesota won in OT
- Nashville got a loser point vs. MIN


So we're now 1 point behind Vancouver with 3 games in hand.
We're 6 points behind LA with 3 games in hand.
We're 7 points behind Minnesota with 3 games in hand.

My guess is that the Canucks continue to drop off and the Stars take their place.

Kris Letang had a stroke and apparently it was testing done while in Phoenix that determined that.

Scary stuff. http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2014/02/07/update-on-letangs-illness-expected-friday/

Just goes to show that you can you can be in the best shape of your life and can still end up getting something more stigmatized to those are overweight. So far it appears this stroke is not career threatening and hopefully he makes a full recovery.

Very true though when it happens to someone like Letang, it's clear it's genetics. When it happens to someone overweight it CAN be genetics but it's far more likely to be lifestyle.

2 Games of importance tonight are St. Louis vs Vancouver and Colorado vs the Anaheim Galaxy.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

No score after 2 in Vancouver. 4-4 after 2 in Col. Hope that Blues go into a scoring slump. That would be nice.

Need Help From Season Ticket Holders

Hey all, so I've decided to try putting together an article that will compare all the NHL teams' STH perks/benefits. To do so though I'll need help from season ticket holders from each NHL team as most of them don't make all the detailed STH perks/benefits public. Of interest to me especially is how each team manages their meet and greet events (can you get autographs/photos, are the star players present, how many players you can meet, other activities, free food, is it combined with an event open to the public etc). Also if you've seen any changes in your teams' perks/benefits in the past few seasons for better or worse. If any of you are season ticket holders and would care to help, that'd be great. You can post here, tweet me at @BringBackLee, or email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

Hmmm.. I think you missed, Edler.

DAL 4-1 CAR, DAL is now 7-1-2 in their last 10 and just took the 8th spot ... look out. The 4 points we dropped to them before the break are looking huge. Our two losses in CGY look even huger.

 

[CC96]

Steve Ott & Ryan Miller to St. Louis for Halak, Stewart, William Carrier, 2015 1st. and 2016 3rd.

Steve Ott & Ryan Miller to St. Louis for Halak, Stewart, William Carrier, 2015 1st. and 2016 3rd.

Great trade for both teams.

 

[Mosby]

Halak is a UFA this summer, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is traded again in the next week.

Hopefully this is the deal that opens the floodgates.

 

[CC96]

Oh great, guess who's the next ****ing team we play? Guess who also has a career 7-0-0 record against us?

Of course.

The Hockey Gods love to troll us don't they?

Of course.

Here's hoping that we are due to beat him.

I know its a gnome but remember what happened last little figurine night at the job?

"We can't lose on bobble head night" - Kieth Yandle

Blues shall not pass win!

 

[Desert Ice 11]

Great trade for both teams.

I think St.Louis lost in this trade.

I think St.Louis lost in this trade.

They are the cup favorites, so check back at the draft.

 

[Desert Ice 11]

They are the cup favorites, so check back at the draft.

They didn't give a 2014 draft pick. It was a 2015 1st and a 2016 3rd draft pick...so you are saying see how they do next year?

I'm saying that it's impossible to pass judgment on a trade meant to win a cup until the playoffs are over.

Raffi Torres is expected to be back for his 1st NHL game of the season vs the Devils on Sunday.

Please let us try to get him back if he looks good out there.
