Around the NHL 2015-16: Part II

Do we win the Hodgson Kassian trade if we claim Prust?

Do we win the Hodgson Kassian trade if we claim Prust?

Can there be two losers in a deal?

Do we win the Hodgson Kassian trade if we claim Prust?

At this stage, the only possible way to win that trade would be if we face a team in the cup final that has either Hodgson or Kassian, and then Hodgson or Kassian score an own goal that results in us winning the cup.

oh man, there's a Dwight King-Lecavalier-Dustin Brown line in LA... what's that line measure in total brad browns?

FYI, the TOR-BOS game tonight is the "free game of the week" on NHL.com if anyone's curious about the streaming after the MLBAM switch.

Can there be two losers in a deal?

We're still paying Hodgson. We clearly lost.

Saw the price for the rest of the season ($50) and couldn't resist buying the rest of the year.

Hope there's no hiccups.

Anaheim closes with a back-to-back going from Colorado to Washington. Rough.

(Washington also has a back-to-back there, traveling home from St Louis. Not as bad, but still rough.)

We are still paying Hodgson lots of money to NOT play hockey for us. There is no amount of irrational reasoning or maneuvering that can justify saying "we won the trade".

Holy **** McJesus....I mean it's hard to complain about Eichel, but my god...

 

[DazedandConfused]

Holy **** McJesus....I mean it's hard to complain about Eichel, but my god...

He's back.

Holy **** McJesus....I mean it's hard to complain about Eichel, but my god...

Yeah, as long as he stays healthy, he's going to be recognized as the best player in the NHL really soon. The level of threat he poses every time he has the puck is unrivaled.

 

[Samsonite23]

I love watching intelligent players. The fact that he's so smart, combined with the a not human amount of skill, makes him the most enjoyable player to watch.

 

[Moskau]

McDavid is the most exciting Hockey player I have watched sine Lemieux. What he's able to do in the NHL with as little space as there is entertains me so much more than watching Gretzky make plays on an ice surface you could back a semi truck up on against goalies you could drive a semi truck through.

Every time he's on the ice something happens. I wouldn't be shocked if he still finishes top 20 in scoring this season.

 

[Woodhouse]

ICYMI, McDavid's goal:

 

[FearTheBeard]

McDavid is on another planet

 

[BuiltTagonTough]

Otherworldly.

That call was terrible though.

 

[Montag DP]

Those defensemen looked really silly on that play.

 

[Moskau]

Jack Eichel watches that replay and the goal doesn't even amaze him. It's the one touch pass by Eberle to get the play going that has him crying. Has Eichel been on the ice for a play half that nice by a teammate all season?

 

[jamers]

In the words of the sports poet, Jon Bois, pretty good.

 

[Gras]

Maybe he's upset with how they treated Scott

Columbus in general looks silly. Thought maybe they would have a 2nd half turn around like last year but I don't see it happening. Awful team. Congratulations at trading your crybaby franchise center for what you hope is a franchise defensemen but it doesn't really help your team. Now they have to hope they can land Matthews at the draft so that in two years he's as good as Johanssen. Then by that time your veterans are on their last legs and you're recycling roster spots again. One step forward two steps back in Columbus ever since Jarmo took over.

 

[Moskau]

I hope his health is well. I saw him in Rochester a few days before he got fired from Buffalo and he didn't look great. He looked very skinny.
