NHL Around the NHL 2018-19 VII - Final Countdown to Trade Deadline - Matt Duchene to Blue Jackets

[McGarnagle]

Three years at 2.53, why can't we get guys like that?

 

[Greek_physique]

You mean contracts like Bergie, Matchand or Pasta? Lol

 

[Emerz]

Habs blew the 3 goal lead, oh well never upset to see them lose.

 

[Budddy]

Worst goal song ever.

leafs one? yep..horrible

 

[Tmac37]

That's a shame.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

At least it's not a 3 point game.

 

[Fenian24]

Dzingel trade is great for a team and a GM not afraid to try go win. Like the Coyle deal but if that is all Donnie Boy does he fails again

[08SeaBass08]

Was he streaking?

 

[Bruinaura]

Was he streaking?

....yes....

How is the Dzingel trade “a team not afraid to try to win”, but the Coyle trade isn’t? You’re really sticking to your “scarred Donny” stance at all costs, huh?

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Ugh. f*** the Pens. f*** the Flyers too.

 

[missingchicklet]

These unis are ugly AF. Look like trash on tv.

 

[Paddington]

Flyers jersey reminds me of the old Campbell and Wales all star jerseys. A bit darker, but that's what popped into my mind.

more like a team desperate to win because they've had literally zero meaningful success in their franchise history and are barely hanging on to a playoff spot.

the hilarious thing is they could still miss the playoffs after making all these moves. you good with giving all those assets up for rentals just to roll that dice?

If the Columbus Blue Jackets are the team you want to emulate then go root for them. I'm totally fine with Sweeney's approach thus far even if he's taking longer than I'd like.

Couple of thoughts:

1) good on Dorion for kicking ass on these deals. Got be tough for him to dismantle the team, but he is making the most of it. Also good on the CBJ for making a serious statement and giving themselves a ton of options. They can move Panarin now and still be a better team than they were three days ago.

2) sneaky fun deal for Zuccarello to the Stars. Those conditions on those picks ensure that it's only a really good deal for either team if it's a really good deal for both teams. It's a genuine and creative win/win scenario and pretty cool to see.

 

[Fenian24]

Yes I still don't care for Sweeney. Please tell me how getting a 25 goal scoring winger for Krecji got 2 second round pucks would be a bad thing.

I like the Coyle deal, got rid of one of the college smurfs and I like Coyles game. It isnt close to being enough to make them a threat yet, just another half measure and excuses.

I also wonder if Gorton didn't put in the signing clause on one of the picks to discourage them from extending him so that NYR can just sign him in the offseason. I'm sure they love the guy. trading him for picks and then signing him anyway would be brilliant.

I must have missed the press release with all the excuses. can you post a link?

 

[missingchicklet]

The Pens did a fine job of blowing that one.

 

[Bruinaura]

My brother just called me, at 11:00 PM his time, and we haven't talked in a couple weeks. The first words out of his mouth were "what's up with those hideous Flyers jerseys"

It was glorious.

Good call. I didn't think of that.

How the hell are the Stars even in on this? With all of the turmoil and BS from earlier in the season, they shouldn't even be in the conversation. A few teams aside, the West is just a god damn mess.

Maybe if Frankie came into camp in shape....

 

[Alicat]

Is this supposed to be entertaining?

Glad I went to a friends for wine and 20/20 and missed this mess
