Around the NHL — Episode XLXVI

UTAH "don't get too attacheds"

 

[Cosmix]

I wonder if Rod Brindamour could become available....after 13 seasons in coaching as an assistant coach and head coach in Carolina, maybe he will need a change of scenery...a fresh start.
He is an Ottawa boy...well at least born in Ottawa.
Staios should have waited and thrown 4 sheets ( $4 million a season) his way and attempted to get Brindamour instead of Mr. Green Jeans.

I don't think Brindamour is Staios' type of coach!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

That McDavid effort on the GWG was just cringe, I'm beginning to think he just doesn't have "it" to win.

Smokin' Hot take.

That McDavid effort on the GWG was just cringe, I'm beginning to think he just doesn't have "it" to win.

To be fair, McDavid's been logging in some insane ice time stats. Hasn't played less than 23 minutes per game against the Nucks and had a couple of games with 28 minutes. Those extra 2-3 minutes are starting to add up. Doesn't help that the Oil have a glorious pairing of Nurse and Ceci on the ice at all. That Nurse contract is such a disaster. Oilers won't be able to build a contender level defense with him making $9 million

Ya that pairing of Ceci Nurse has been a huge liability.

And as usual, if goaltending were equal, they'd be the ones up 3-2 or series over by now. Silovs has been a significant advantage.

I heard Ceci is actually good

 

[Beech]

35% of those playoff date revenues are used to fund revenue sharing, so drop everything down a third.

yea, but 65% of 105 million, is better than 0%

Now consider a playoff year and the enthusiasm, so a further 4-5 M in regular season revenue. At 10 years, we are talking 40-50 M.

So belonging to the upper 1/2 of the league would have netted the Sens some 110 M or so.

Instead, they antagonized, saw their building empty. And lost some 300 M. Atta boy Eugene.

the 20 year high is around 190 games and so about 100 home dates, at 3 M average.. 300 M. And a packed arena to add some 90 M. A cool 390 M. About 280-300 after revenue share. Hello Boston, Pittsburg and Tampa. Old Mario Lemieux and partners must still be giddy. Jeremy Jacobs probably uses $100 bills as TP.

The Sens played 82, so some 38 home dates.. about 114 M and another 40 M in added revenue. 155 M, 110 after revenue share. In 20 years, peanuts!!!!

How do you f*** up something so simple.

The top 16 teams averaged about 144 games played.. nearly twice the Sens.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Hmm. Usually the bizarre, heated discussions are isolated to the Sens Lounge topic. This is spreading worse than I feared. Can't you guys go back to arguing about chemtrails or electric vehicles or something funny?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Bruins fall. Good hard fought series.. Panthers are the deeper team. Great goal tending

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Another great finish to a game and the Panthers win a nailbiter.

I am pumped for the East conference finals. Rooting for the Rangers but I honestly wouldn't be mad if Florida made it to the Cup finals.

 

[Emerica]

Linus come on down, you'll get to play 60 games a year over here

 

[Senscore]

Well . . .

Let's go Western Conference

 

[JungleBeat]

Florida basically got Forsling and Montour for nothing and we’re stuck with the likes of Gudbranson, Phanuef, Hamonic, J Brown etc

 

[Senovision]

Home teams are 30 wins and 36 losses in this years playoffs.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Anyone but Vancouver and Edmonton in the finals and I'll be good

Treasonous

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Treasonous

I'm thinking Pierre's mentality is "I want Ottawa to be the team that breaks Canada's Cup drought".

 

[Emerica]

thats a goal

 

[R2010]

thats a goal

unreal

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Oh boy if the Avs end up winning this game, and especially the series, that non-goal call which was total bullcrap will come back to haunt the league.

 

[Senscore]

Horseshit decision

 

[Agent Zub]

Lol do the rules written in the book not matter?

Gonna be bad taste in the mouth if Colorado wins.

 

[Icelevel]

Good for us though

 

[Icelevel]

Duchene. He’s pretty good. Better team wins.

 

[Emerica]

puck don’t lie. dallas scores twice in OT
